Does Fernando Martinez wrestle for Army or West Valley? I thought Fernando Martinez wrestled for Army while Fernando Munoz wrestled for West Valley. Oh well, I’m sure Coach Jeff knows his own wrestlers’ names.
Is there anyway I can trade for Fernando Martinez?
Munoz is a pretty cool kid so you should keep him.
I’m not sure that Army would take that straight up anyway as Army would receive a good wrestler from a prestigious community college in Saratoga while West Valley would receive a future American leader from one of the elite academic institutions. You would probably have to throw in Ngo, Harutuyan, Soto and a few others.
You should join us this year for the NCAAs as Boris, Fil and Atondo should be wrestling.
