Former Upper Lake High School wrestling star Junior Fernandez, a fifth-place medalist in the 132-pound division at the 2019 CIF State Boys Wrestling Championships, won’t be red-shirting his freshman year at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. He’ll be the Mustangs’ starting 133-pounder when they open their season Nov. 2 at the Michigan State Open in Michigan. “We are beyond proud of him,” said dad Joe Fernandez, Junior’s coach at Upper Lake. “He worked hard to get here and proved his name.” (Courtesy photo)
