Of the 25 Citrus County wrestlers who began Friday with hopes of advancing to next week’s state finals, 14 were still alive at day’s end. Lecanto was competing in the Region 2A-II Meet at Lake Gibson in Lakeland, while Citrus and Crystal River were at the Region 1A-II Meet at Palm Bay High in Mel- bourne. Both tournaments conclude today, where the top four wrestlers at each weight will advance to state. The Panthers had six wrestlers competing in Lakeland and four of them made it to Saturday’s action. Zach Williams at 170 is the lone Panther still alive on the championship side of the bracket after a 2-0 day with a pair of pins in identical times of 1:01. He needs to win one more match today to advance to state. The other three Panthers alive are on the back side of the bracket and must win their first two matches of the day to claim a spot at the state finals. Diego Mendez at 126, 182-pounder Adrian Ramallo and Nickholas Moskes at 195 are all in that predicament. The two Lecanto regional qualifiers who didn’t make it through the first day were Logan Feuston at 160 and heavyweight Kaleb Feuston.

Speedway Pirates rebound canceled tonight Races expected to resume March 6 Kimberly Kelly For the Chronicle

For the third time this month Citrus County Speedway officials have been forced to cancel a race event. But this time it is not due to weather. “Unfortunately with the light pole accident this past weekend, we will not have the materials to get it fixed by this Saturday,” CCS Facebook and website posts stated. “With that being said, we have decided to cancel this weekend’s event. We will work on rescheduling and will keep you updated as soon as we have a date. Thank you in advance for understanding! We are looking forward to getting back to racing!!” The Signsfast Pure Stock 25 event was cut short Feb. 20 after Happy Florian lost control of his race car and slid up the turn No. 3 hill and knocked the light pole to the ground.
