On January 22, 2025, the Fillmore Flashes Girls Wrestling team concluded team competition in the Citrus Coast League with a series of strong performances in January, securing dominant victories against Channel Islands and Nordhoff before facing a tough loss to Hueneme.

FHS 59 - Channel Islands 9

On Monday, January 13, the Fillmore Flashes put on an impressive show against Channel Islands High School, dominating the competition with a 59-9 victory. This match was rescheduled from January 8th due to the power outage.

FHS 42 - Nordhoff 0

Two days later, on Wednesday, January 15, the Flashes hosted Senior Night against Nordhoff High School winning the competition 42-0 with 7 senior Flashes’ wrestlers earning wins by forfeit.

FHS 21 - Hueneme 39

On Tuesday, January 21, Fillmore traveled to Hueneme High School for the final CCL dual meet of the season. The winner would be crowned as CCL Team Champion as both teams went into the competition with league wins over Channel Islands, Nordhoff, and Santa Paula. Despite their best efforts, the Flashes fell short in a competitive match, losing 39-21. Fillmore wrestlers fought hard, but Hueneme’s depth and experience proved to be too much. Splitting the matches with 5 victories to each team, the difference came as Fillmore gave up 18 points in forfeits giving away 6 points in each of the 107 lbs., 157 lbs. and 192 lbs. weight classes. Though the Flashes didn’t come out on top, several wrestlers showed great resilience and skill in their individual bouts. With the win, Hueneme won a 3rd consecutive girls team CCL Championship.

Individual results from these competitions are as follows: Juliet Bustos 107 lbs. 0-1, Olivia Juarez 112 lbs. 2-1, Naomi Bonilla 117 lbs. 2-0, Delilah Cervantez 122 lbs. 1-1, Jasmine Contreras 127 lbs. 1-0, Jacqueline Lomeli 127 lbs. & 132 lbs.1-1, Natalia Herrera 132 lbs. 0-1, Emma Torres 132 lb. & 137 lbs. 2-0, Michelle Pinedo 137 lbs. 1-0, Karina Vergara 137 lbs. & 142 lbs. 2-0, Skyla Sandoval 142 lbs. 1-1, Alexa Martinez 147 lbs. & 157 lbs. 3-0, Christine Panopio 157 lbs. 1-0, Candy Aguilar 172 lbs. 2-0, Ava Manzano 237 lbs. 2-1.

Looking Ahead

Despite the setback of losing a team championship against Hueneme, the Flashes look to crown as many athletes as possible as CCL Individual Champions at the CCL Championships to be hosted at the FHS Gymnasium on Saturday, February 8th at 10:00 am. Each competitor will face individuals in their respective weight class in a tournament format which will qualify them for postseason CIF Championships and crown the winners as champions in their weight class.

On January 4-6, 2025, our very own member of California United FC, traveled to Mesa Arizona, to represent our club in the Far West Championships with the Olympic Development Program, known as ODP. They competed against Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and their final championship match against another Southern California team, beating them 1-0 to be crowned Far West Champions!

After making the Tier 1 team in Southern California amongst some of the best athletes in her age group; Siani Ameris Lomeli, member of our CUFC 2013 girls’ team, proved she belonged by scoring 2 goals in the tournament to help the ODP bring home the championship title.

Although past members of our CUFC have made it to the ODP team, Siani remains the only member who specifically played for California United FC, making her the first in our club to represent the ODP team as a member of our CUFC.

We want to congratulate not only Siani, but the volunteers in the Fillmore community that have been a part of her athletic journey. Siani, a multisport athlete is also a member of the Heritage Valley Blazers Track club, and City of Fillmore recreational basketball program. Her path to the sport of soccer began with our brother organization AYSO, as a 3-year-old, and began to play competitively at the age of 5. It truly takes a community to build a strong and dedicated athlete. Siani is an example of what our community can do for other young athletes. Thank you, City of Fillmore, and congratulations to the California United FC, and our families for reaching such a great accomplishment. “Building Champions.”

Story by Girls Head Coach Michael Torres

Saturday, December 14, 2024, Port Hueneme, CA – The Fillmore High School Girls Wrestling Team competed at the Showdown at the Shore Girls Wrestling Tournament held at Hueneme High School. Despite being short-handed due to illness affecting several of the athletes that were unable to participate, the team’s resilience and determination were on full display, with standout performances from several wrestlers, including co-captains Emma Torres and Alexa Martinez.

Senior Emma Torres, one of the team’s co-captains, had an exceptional outing at the tournament, competing in a highly competitive 16-girl bracket at 130 lbs. Emma finished in second place with a 3-1 record, including three pins. Torres has an overall record of 10-3 this season, with 7 takedowns, 6 near falls, 4 reversals, and 7 pins.

Martinez, with a season record of 13-3, has had a remarkable year, with 9 takedowns, 3 near falls, 3 reversals, 1 escape, and 10 pins.

Bonilla’s performance included 1 pin and 3 decisions, improving her overall season record to an outstanding 10-2, with 15 takedowns, 6 near falls, 2 reversals, 1 escape, and 5 pins.

Sophomore Yoseline Cruz, competing in the same weight class, went 2-2 in the tournament, while Junior Skyla Sandoval placed 2nd in the 135 lb B Bracket earning a silver medal, finishing with a 1-1 record. Junior Michele Pinedo also made her mark in the 125 lb B Bracket, going 1-1 with a pin.

On Tuesday, December 10,2024- Isbell Middle School, Santa Paula, CA - In a wrestling dual meet held at Isbell Middle School, the Fillmore Flashes triumphed over the Santa Paula Cardinals.

The evening started with one lone Junior Varsity Boys’ match, where Fillmore’s Thomas Torres lost by pin to give the Cardinals a 6-0 team win. In high school wrestling, team points are given for pin (6 pts), forfeit (6 pts), disqualification (6 pts), injury default (6 pts), technical fall- a win by 15 points (5 pts), major decision- a win by 8 points or more (4 pts) and decision- a win by less than 8 point (3 pts).

The Varsity Girls’ team won in a forfeit heavy match, finishing with a 48-24 score against the Cardinals. The Flashes’ girls’ squad continues to display its depth as one of the teams to contend for the Citrus Coast League girls team title. The Citrus Coast Wrestling League features teams representing Channel Islands, Fillmore, Hueneme, Nordhoff and Santa Paula High Schools.

The Varsity Boys’ division capped off the night with a Flashes 66-12 victory.
At 132 pounds, William Maryon pinned his opponent in the first period, giving the Flashes an early lead.
In the 170-pound weight class, Isaac Rivera staged a comeback. After trailing in the match, Rivera came from behind to pin his opponent.

In the 190-pound weight class, Elijah Hodges showcased his strength earning a win by pin.
One of the evening’s most exciting moments came in the heavyweight bout, where Fillmore’s Valentin Garcia went up a weight class. In high school wrestling, athletes are allowed to move up one weight class to compete. Despite the challenge, Garcia secured a win by pin in a performance that left his teammates cheering.

“Valentin’s decision to move up a weight class shows his commitment to the team,” said Head Boys Coach Manuel Ponce. “He knew it would be tough, but he went out there and got the job done. His pin was a high point in our victory tonight.”
The Fillmore Flashes’ next two CCL home meets will be Wednesday, January 8th vs. Channel Island HS (Youth Night) and Wednesday, January 15th vs. Nordhoff HS (Senior Night) both matches are scheduled to start at 5:30pm at the FHS Gym.
