 “I think we have a bright future.”

 In the boys half of the tournament, Josh Suarez (120), Enrique Betancourt (145) and Nathan Shelton (182) finished eighth for Lathrop.

 “It was a tough tournament with a lot of good wrestlers,” Spartans coach Vince Garcia said. “We like what our wrestlers showed us for it being early in the year,
