Girl Is Samohi’s First State Wrestling Champ

   Jazzy Green, a sophomore at Santa Monica High School, became Samohi's first state wrestling champion, male or female, last weekend.
   The girls’ state wrestling championships were held in Vallejo Friday and Saturday, January 28 and 29.
   Green, who weighs 105 pounds, took first place in her weight class, and the championship.
   More that 300 of the state’s top female high school wrestlers competed in the invitational event. They included the top six wrestlers in each weight class in each of the four California regions.
   The only girl on the Samohi wrestling team, Green often wrestled boys at high school competitions.
   Coached by Mark Black and Brent Wright, Green went undefeated against girls this season, and won the Southern California regional competition last week.
   In the state finals, she won all four of her matches, and met and defeated California's top seeded wrestler, Maria Angara from Vallejo, in the final match.
   Green began wrestling last year. Her athletic background includes gymnastics, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and Krav Maga.
