Carson has 12 alive after day one of 4A Northern Regional wrestling

RENO – Carson High wrestling has seven wrestlers in the Class 4A Northern Regional semifinals after day one of the regional tournament at Bishop Manogue High School.

Five other Senator wrestlers are also still alive on the consolation side of their respective brackets.

The top three finishers from each weight class advance to the state tournament next weekend in Las Vegas.

Carson head coach Nick Redwine thinks the Senators are sitting right where they should be after the first day of tournament action.

"I think we wrestled well; not out of our minds. We didn't do anything to be in the running for the (team) title," said Redwine. "We have a good chance to take a good number of kids to state and that's kind of the goal."

One match that caught the head coach's attention was his 138-pounders first test against Alejandro Casarez of Reed.

"Max Harris wrestled Casarez from Reed, who is a defending state champ, and Max almost beat him," said Redwine. "He wrestled really well. I don't think that kid had seen someone like Max before."

Below are all the Senators still alive in the regional tournament at their respective weight classes.

A full recap of Carson's showing at the regional tournament will be posted online Saturday afternoon, following the completion of the regional tournament.
