LITTLE ROCK - For the second straight year, El Dorado had a wrestler competing for a championship in the 5A State Wrestling Tournament. Junior Sharnesia Tate advanced to the finals of the girls 235-pound division before losing to D’mysha James of Sylvan Hills on Saturday. Senior Dunte Maker, who advanced to last year’s championship, was scheduled to wrestle for third place Saturday night in the boys’ 215-pound division. Earlier in the day, sophomore Maddie Aguiluz won third place in the girls’ 100-pound division.

El Dorado’s contingent of nine wrestlers will begin what they hope will be a lengthy stay today in the Arkansas State Wrestling Tournament.

El Dorado’s first home wrestling meet at Wildcat Arena on Tuesday had an unexpected wrinkle.

El Dorado will not only host its first conference wrestling meet of the season on Tuesday, Wildcat Arena will serve as the venue for the first time in the program’s history.

Since its inception two years ago, El Dorado’s wrestling program has continued to grow.
