Need to know: Failed to medal after entering state meet ranked fourth, but that didn’t diminish a season that featured Masters and North Yosemite League titles, and a second-place finish in Division I. Made the all-tournament team at the Clovis West Shootout, won the Western Invitational in Modesto and the Doc Buchanan. Was third at Sierra-Nevada Classic in Reno and fifth at Five Counties.
The word: “Raul is real head strong. He never gives up. He’ll fight you until the last second. That’s what makes him a good wrestler.” — Madera South coach Robert Araballo
