Valiant Prep had never had a home dual in five years. That finally change when they hosted the Wild West Showdown where they had wrestlers from across the country come to their school for an event.

Emilio Ysaguirre moved on from the Eloy Boys to wrestle at Arizona State. In the second semester the ASU coaches brought him on a road dual to Nebraska. Emilio got the nod to face #4 ranked Brock Hardy and had a big win, upsetting the Husker.
