Welcome to the latest edition of the AFN's live blog.

Showed up to a varsity match and JV dual meet broke.

That's the bad news. The good news is, these teams have depth and the wrestling will still be quality but not the great match everyone wanted.

Desert Vista and Corona will be missing four regulars each.

The Thunder came back from California where they finished second sick and a little beat up.

The Mathers brothers are ill, Sobarzo has a skin condition and Love need more time to get back down to 126 (not sure why they didnt just bump him)

The Aztecs came back from Minnesota tested, but dinged and also have some academic issues.

Fresh take at the top.
