WRESTLING
Paul Yoo, Cypress, wrestling Sr.
Yoo certainly the best for his last high school season. As a senior, Yoo dominated the competition all season, winning seven individual titles and losing just three matches. He ended up placing third at the CIF State Tournament. Not bad, for a kid who just started the sport as a freshman. He ended up with three state appearances.

Cypress’ Yoo takes third in State wrestling
At the start of the day, Cypress wrestler Paul Yoo probably didn’t expect that he would have to face Ryan Davies of Clovis again at the CIF State Tournament.
However, after Yoo suffered a loss in the championship semifinals to Kyle Pope of Bakersfield in the morning, he and Davies eventually met again in the third-place match.
Yoo, who finished sixth at last year’s tournament, scored a takedown in overtime to defeat Davies, 3-1, to take third place at 182pounds Saturday at Rabobank Arena.
