    Default Congratulations to Jacob "Pops" Leon to Cal Poly

    I just got off of the phone with Proud Papa Honde who let me know that his son CA 3rd State placer Jacob gave coach Buckley a verbal comittment to wrestle next year for the Mustangs at 141. He said to give special thanks to Team SoCal/Conquest Coach Chuck Chavez, Big Pat C and his Alta Loma Coaches TJ Dawson, Tom Gunther and Brett Proctor for helping to believe, mold, mentor, and enable him to acheive one of his goals to get on the podium. I still remember little "Pops" battling with Charles Chavez, Michael Vargas, and Joey Davis in practice and never giving up always going back in and battling some more. I am sure he will bring that same work ethic to the Cal Poly Mustangs. Jacob was known as brother Daniel and Nick's little brother, no more, Jacob is now the man with that 3rd place medal Just kidding, kinda of, Big Brothers Daniel and Nick had some unfortunate injuries. Congratulations to the entire Leon family.

    Default Big congrats to Jacob and his family

    What a great honor for Jacob to represent Alta Loma and the Southern Section next year at Cal Poly. Watching him at the State Meet this year was just amazing including the match for 3rd place. At that moment I was hoping this kid would get a chance to wrestle D1. I have been a big fan of Jacob for quite some time, as my son and I had the opportunity see this kid blossom into a great wrestler. Big shout out to the Alta Loma staff (Gunther)for a job well done. TJ your love for the kids is priceless! Jacob we wish you the best next year and your journey will now begin as a Mustang.

    Congratulations to both Jaycob & the Leon family. It was amazing to watch this kid grow up to be such a fine young man. On & off the mat. Not only is Jaycob a great wrestler, but he's an amazing student! I may be wrong, but I believe he had a 4.0 GPA all 4 years in high school. What a great example he is for all those kids out there. We as a family are so happy to see Jaycob attend a college here in California. And a nice one at that. I'm sure Poppa Leon is gonna be visiting his boy often as well as sampling at all the vineyards on the Central Coast! Congrats to Honde "The Vino King" Leon & his wife Rosemary for bringing up such a fine young man. Hats off to the both of you! The Silva Family
