The 120 pound Championship was on the line.
Peña (17-4), and Edinburg North’s Michael Garcia (7-4) rolled off each other on to the ground, got back on their feet holding each other from each other’s back of the neck and then their momentum slammed them to the Matt.
Peña fell first and Garcia fell on top.
