Correction
Scotts Valley wrestler David Nice was the top finisher for the Falcons at the Coast Classic Wrestling Tournament, finishing in fourth place at 160 pounds. Nice was inadvertently omitted from the Dec. 24 recap of the tourney, “Monster wrestling tournament showcases local talent” (Page 21).
The Press-Banner regrets the error.
