The 39th annual Chester Invitational Wrestling Tournament attracted 20 high school teams from Northern California and Nevada last Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3-4.
Chico won the tournament, followed by Fernley in second place and Chester in third.
The Chester Volcanoes are again being led by long-time coach Tom Maumoynier, who retired several years ago, but generously picked up the torch again after former Chester coach Tom Rogers was hired as the wrestling coach at Lassen College this season.
