Casa girls learn

Lillian McCoy continued winning and her young teammates continued learning as the Lady Gauchos competed in the Lady Tigers Tournament hosted by Tokay High School in Lodi.

McCoy took another title in the 235-pound weight class, winning three straight matches by pin.

Three of her young teammates continued to show improvement with strong efforts.

Freshman Mykaela Oberman lost two matches in the 191-pound class but gained valuable experience.

Sophomore Skyler Finley finished 1-2 in the 145-pound division, with her win coming by pin over a Vintage wrestler who had beaten her a week earlier in the Napa Valley Girls Classic.

Junior Arora Vieira finished seventh in the 152-pound division with a 4-1 record.
