Senators lead after opening day at regionals
RENO — Before taking the mat to start the Northern 4A Regional Tournament, Tim McCarthy emphasized that pins do make a difference when the team points are added up. It appears the Senators paid attention to their coach on Friday. Aided by 12 pins on the day, in addition to key victories from senior 215-pounder Ryan Hoskins and sophomore 145-pouder Nikko Garcia, Carson vaulted to the top of the team standings after the tournament's opening day at Reno High School. Carson scored 69 points to take the lead ahead of Spanish Springs with 56 and Damonte Ranch with 51. Reno (44), Elko (42) McQueen (40) and Churchill County (38) followed in the standings.
