11. 2014-15 Season Outlook

After having three very successful seasons with last year’s senior group, 45 – 4 in duals over a 3 year period its time to rebuild. We have probably the strongest freshmen class by far since the school has opened. We may have as many as 4 or 5 of them starting this year. We have two seniors with any experience coming back, Allen Bonilla and Derek Vance with only Bonilla a returning starter. Mixed in is a lot of juniors and sophomores with limited experience and this will be the year someone needs to step forward and take some spots. We will struggle at the beginning of the year with the lack of experience but I really feel that some of these new comers will open some eyes before the end of the year. Hopefully we can challenge for a league title, beyond that, we are looking at probably a year or two down the road.

Episode 34 of The MatBoss Podcast is with four-time All-American and three-time NCAA Division I finalist Gerry Abas of Fresno State. Gerry Abas talks about his start in wrestling in the Bay Area and how his speed, quickness and flash on the wrestling mat had its foundations in break dancing in the 1980s.

He also talks about his classic match and loss to Iowa’s Lincoln McIlravy, coaching his younger brother Stephen at Fresno State, watching the school drop the program and his feelings about it at the time. Abas also speaks about his son Jaden and what we can expect from him on the next level.

Stephen Abas, 2008 Olympic silver medalist and three-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion at Fresno State, has been named head wrestling coach at Fresno High School.

“We are excited to welcome Coach Abas to Fresno Unified, knowing that he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with our Fresno High student-athletes,” said Fresno Unified Superintendent Bob Nelson.
The statement said Abas would take the helm of the Warriors wrestling program at Fresno High immediately.

As a wrestler at Fresno State University, Abas was a four-time NCAA All-American, winning three NCAA titles at 125 pounds in 1999, 2001, and 2002. Abas tallied a 144-4 overall record for the Bulldogs, including 46 pins. Abas’ career winning percentage of 97.3 percent is also a school record. For all these accomplishments, Abas was named the Fresno State Male Athlete of the Year in 1999 and 2001.

Stephen in high school (Canyon Springs HS & James Logan HS) was a 3X CIF state champion and a NHSCA National Champion in 1996.
