Moeller, area boast strong contingents

By Mike Oyer Enquirer staff writer

Because Moeller, ranked No. 11 nationally by Amateur Wrestling News; has up to six wrestlers capa- · ble of winning a state championship Saturday night, coach Jeff Gaier isn't putting the onus on any individual.

'The whole year our goal has been to make it to the state tournament and look to place or maybe even win it," Gaier said.

The state tournament begins at 3 p.m. today at Ohio State University's Schottenstein Center in Columbus. The finals are at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Moeller has nine state qualifiers, including district champions Tommy Weinkam (140) and Mike Mahon (152).

"Mike is going to be running in the thing to win it," Gaier said. "He is not making any mistakes, and a lot of his matches will be one- or

State wrestling two-pointers."

Alex Weaver (103), Adam Wallander (112), Germane Lindsey (135), Cebastian Hilton (145), Dean Gaier (160), Eric Cameron (171) and Frank Becker (275) also qualified. · With 13 qualifiers, Lakewood St. Edward is the overwhelming favorite to capture the Division I title.

• Lakota West has three district champions, the most in school history.

Senior Tony Bradberry (160) returns to Columbus for the second consecutive season as district champ, his third trip overall.

Junior Bo Touris (42-0) and sophomore Ryan Fields (43-0) captured district titles at 103 and 112, respectively.

"I think all three have legitimate shots to be wrestling Saturday night (in the finals)," Lakota West

coach Scott Fetzer said.

Bradberry (39-4), who has signed with Ashland University, has "tunriel vision" for wrestling in the finals Saturday night.

"It's one of those final hurrahs," said Bradberry, who has just one win in five matches at state. "fm going to give everything in practice and barely stand when I walk out, knowing I can't walk into practice next week." ' • Harrison senior Tyler Adams (112) is undefeated (30-0) after winning a district title. Adams was sixth at state last season.

"He's a hanger," Harrison coach Chad Dennis said. "When you put him on the mat, he's going to give everything he's got for six minutes." .

• Princeton junior Muhammad Abdur-Rahman (145), who won the district title, also is undefeated (28-0). "(Muhammad) is very quick, explosive and focused when he wres-

ties," Princeton coach Ty Robbins said.

DIVISION II: Ross seniors Dylan Ray (160) and Nate Kanta (171) are the 33rd and 34th state qualifiers in $chool history and continued a string of 13 consecutive seasons that Ross has been represented at state. Ray was sixth last season.

• Indian Hill sophomore Michael Jameson (119) will attempt to become the third state placer in school history: Jameson is 44-4.

DWISION Ill: Madeira and Blanchester were the highest finishers at the Fairmont district. Madeira's David Carpenter (112) and returning state qualifier Kevin Cloran (135) placed third at district.

Zak Taylor was a district champion at 215 for Blanchester. Damon Barr (140) and Chris Herrington (275) are the other qualifiers.

• Reading sophomore Andrew Clark (29-6) placed third at 103 in the Kettering Fairmont district and is Reading's 90th state qualifier.

,6 . tN9u GMC tournament has Firebirds gearing. up:':i ,;i ...

Wrestling notebook

By Mike Dyer Enquirer staff writer

Lakota West senior Tony Bradbeny noticed the rising level .of intensity around practice this week It's· a typical development heading into this weekend's Greater Miami Conference tournament, and it begins the "month of champions"consisting of the GMC, sectional, district ana state tournaments. · "I think our guys are looking for- . ward to the next four weeks," Lako. ta West coach Scott Fetzer said.

'The· intensity in the room was raised quite a bit (on Monday).

That didn't' come from the coaches.

(The wrestlers) are aware of what time of the year it is. To them, the season has just begun."

The Frrebirds (16-1 in dual meets) are the defending chainpions and have won the GMC three of the past four seasons. The tournament begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at Middletown.

"We know ~s a team. we are good, but we can be exponentially better," said Bradbeny, who wresties at 160 pounds. "We feed off each other. We really see it come out in the room. If I look· over and see (senior) Alex Flake going as hardashecango,itmakesmewant , to go further."

The Frrebirds finished the regular season with wins over Harrison and Oak Hills. Junior Bo Touris (103 pounds) and sophomore Ryan Fields (112) are 32-0 and 33-0, respectively.

Senior Nick Bohl (140), who placed eighth at state last season, is 25-6 and Flake (130) is 31-4.

"I placed last year, so not only do I want to repeat, I want to do better than last year," Bohl said. "Mentally I have been there before, so I feel like I have an advantage over a lot of people. It's my senior year, so I want to lay it out on the line."

• Reading coach Dick Engel will need his wrestlers in heavyweight classes to come through in order for the Blue Devils to challenge Madeira in the Cincinnati Hills League tournament, which begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at Deer Park. The young Reading squad, ranked, No. 6 in the Enquirer Divisions II-III area coaches' poll, defeated No. 7 Madeira in a dual meet

Mter a slow start, Reading, which won the CHL title in 2003, · ,has won 10 of its past 14 matches.

• The Fort Ancient Valley Conference will have two sites for its tournament. The Cardinal Division is at Wilmington; the Buckeye Division is at Anderson. Mason, No. 6 in the Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, is the defending Buckeye champion, and Wilmington won the Cardinal last season.

"I think it will be a little bit tighter than in years past," Mason coach Craig Murnan said.

To defend the title, the Comets are well aware they must get past No. 3-ranked Harrison.

Ross,rankedNo.1intheEnquirer Divisions II-III poll, will be a seri-

CHRIS YEAGER/CONTRIBUTOR

Eric Cameron (left) was a silver medalist at the AAJJ summer duals. He finished eighth at last years state meet and will wrestle in the 171-pound weight dass this year for Moeller. Tom Weinkam (rlglllt) was the lone gold medalist for the Crusaders at the summer duals and will wrestle at 140 pounds this season. Tom was a state quali1lier last year for the Crusaders.

Schedule demands s-ummer commitment from Crusaders

By Chris Yeager Contributor

Moeller wrestler Eric Cameron noted that the Crusaders open their 2005-2006 season with the national-class Ironman tournament, in Oeveland, December 9.

It's that kind of scheduling that makes year-round wrestling a competiti\e necessity for the Crusaders.

To that end, Cameron, Tom Weinkam, head coach Jeff Gaier, and over a dozen other Crusaders made an important trip to Orlando, Florida the third week of June to compete in the Amateur Athletic Union's 9th Annual Scholastic Duals. With its sixth-place finish, Moeller was the top Ohio squad in the 50-team field.

"This \\.<15 our third year going down there," Coach Gaier said. "It gives the kids a lot of competitive matches. And it has benefits for team building. It's one of the best things we've done for the team in terms of off-season wrestling."

16 Crusaders got valuable mat time in Orlando. Adam Wallander captured a bronze medal at 103 pounds, finishing the meet with a 9-2 record. At 112 pounds, Matt Melink also earned a bronze, as did Frank Becker at heavyweight and Eric Gobin at 119 pounds.

Cebastian Hilton took home a copper medal with his 8-3 tourney finish.

Cameron finished th·e long Florida weekend with a 10-1 record to win a silver medal. Mike Mahon matched Cameron's credentials for the 152-pound silver.

With his 11-0 tourney record, Weinkam earned the Crusaders' lone gold medal.

"This made me feel like I've improved," Weinkam said of his undefeated Orlando performance.

"I went 6-5 there last year. I was young last year. I know better."

An Ohio state tournament qualifier last season, Weinkam, a junior this year, counted his win over a two-time Montana state champion as a tourney highlight. rlis teammate. Cameron, seemed to be ruminating a bit, even still, over his lone Joss at the MU meet, a tough 3-1 decision.

"I lost to the state runner-up from Iowa," Cameron, a senior,

noted. "He's been ranked as the number four junior in the nation. I got six shots on him in the third period, but he had great balance."

Still, as Gaier pointed out, the four-day MU event produced a high volume of high-caliber competition for the Moeller wrestlers.

"It was a great experience,•· Cameron said of his second-place finish. "We all got a lot of mat time.

And the level of competition was very, very good. And being down there will help build team unity."

That's a notion Gaier, Cameron, and Weinkam emphasized \1\.rhile discussing their summer wrestling. Though it's the sport's off-season, at least on the scholastic level, and even though wrestling is one of those sports that pits individual against individual in its competitive format. the Crusaders are always thinking "tea.Ill.''

Perhaps the wrestlers sense an opportunity to improve last year's fourth-place finish at the state meet. Though no southwest Ohio program has bested Moeller's second-place finish from a few years ago, the Crusaders want more.

"There's about a 70 point difference to be had from wrestlers· finishing in the top four and those placing four through eight," Gaier said. "This year, we've got to get more of our guys into those top three or four spots."

"With better team unity, you get better support," Weinkam said of the importance of upperclassmen providing solid leadership for the freshmen.

Cameron and Weinkam now have to turn their attention to another important trip - the USA Wrestling championships in

Fargo, North Dakota. MLice Mahon, an MU duals silver medallist, will join his fellow Crusaders as they represent Team Ohio July 23-30.

"We'll get six matches, representing one of the best wrestling states in the nation," Cameron said of the Fargo trip's value.

Mahon will wrestle in both Greco-Roman and freestyle disciplines. Weinkam and Cameron will participate as freestylists. All to get ready for the customarily demanding Crusader schedule.

In addition to the lronrnan opener, Moeller will wrestle in another national-class scholastic meet, the Powerade event, in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania Closer to home, the state duals tournament in early January and a tri-meet featuring perennial Di\ision ll power St. Paris Graham, will provide the groundwork the Crusaders need to prepare for Columbus.

"If I hadn't gone to Fargo last year, I wouldn't have been as prepared for Columbus," said Cameron, who placed eighth at state as a junior. "I'm getting ready.

Definitely." eastsports@communitypress.con

Moeller, area boast strong contingents Enquirer staff writer

State wrestling

Because Moeller, ranked No.ll nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, has up to six wrestlers capable of winning a state championship Saturday night, coach Jeff Gaier isn't putting the onus on any individual.

'The whole year our goal has been to make it to the state tournament and look to place or maybe even win it," Gaier said.

The state tournament begins at 3 p.m. today at Ohio State University's Schottenstein Center in Columbus. The finals are at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Moeller has nine state qualifiers, including district champions Tommy Weinkam (140) and Mike Mahon (152).

"Mike is going to be running in the thing to win it," Gaier said. "He is not making any mistakes, and a lot of his matches will be one- or

two-pointers."

Alex Weaver (103), Adam Wallander (112), Germane Lindsey (135), Cebastian Hilton (145), Dean Gaier (160), Eric Cameron (171) and Frank Becker (275) also qualified.

With 13 qualifiers, Lakewood St. Edward is the overwhelming favorite to capture the Division I title.

• Lakota West has three district champions, the most in school history.

Senior Tony Bradberry (160) returns to Columbus for the second consecutive season as district champ, his third trip overall.

Junior Bo Touris (42-0) and sophomore Ryan Fields (43-0) captured district titles at 103 and 112, .respectively.

"I think all three have legitimate shots to be wrestling Saturday night (in the finals)," Lakota West

By Mike Dyer

coach Scott Fetzer said.

Bradberry (39-4), who has signed with Ashland University, has "tunnel vision" for wrestling in the finals Saturday night.

"It's one of those final hurrahs," said Bradberry, who has just one win in five matches at state. "I'm going to give everything in practice and barely stand when I walk out, knowing I can't walk into practice next week."

• Harrison senior Tyler Adams (112) is undefeated (30-0) after winning a district title. Adams was sixth at state last season.

"He's a hanger," Harrison coach Chad Dennis said. "When you put him on the mat, he's going to give everything he's got for six minutes."

• Princeton junior Muhammad Abdur-Rahman (145), who won the district title, also is undefeated

tles," Princeton coach Ty Robbins said.

DIVISION II: Ross seniors Dylan Ray (160) and Nate Kanta (171) are the 33rd and 34th state qualifiers in school history and continued a string of 13 consecutive seasons that Ross has been represented at state. Ray was sixth last season.

• Indian Hill sophomore Michael Jameson (119) will attempt to become the third state placer in school history. Jameson is 44-4.

DIVISION Ill: Madeira and Blanchester were the highest finishers at the Fairmont district. Madeira's David Carpenter (112) and returning state qualifier Kevin Cloran (135) placed third at district.

Zak Taylor was a district champion at 215 for Blanchester. Damon Barr (140) and Chri~ Herrington (275) are the other qualifiers.

• Reading sophomore Andrew (28-0).

Clark (29-6) placed third at 103 in "(Muhammad) is very quick, ex- the Kettering Fairmont district and plosive and focused when he wres- is Reading's 90th state qualifier.

COUJMBUS- Lakota West wrestler Ryan Fields is hoping to take care of some unfinished business tonight.

Fields will put his perfect record on the line in the 112-pound Division I :fi. nals at the state wrestling tournament at Ohio State University.

Fields earned a spot in the finals following an 8-5 win over Massillon Perry's Seth Homer in semifinal action Friday night.

Fields, a sophomore, will take on St. Edward's Collin Palmer in the finals.

"I knew I was going to wrestle Collin in the finals," Fields said. "Collin is real good. We've butted heads in the practice room at camps. ..:I have to wrestle the match of my life."

Fields (4&-0) is looking to reach the pinnacle of the sport after settling for second place at 103 at last season's state meet. Fields fell to Tony Jameson of Youngstown Austintown-Fitch in the title match.

Jameson (119) is seeking his second consecutive state crown tonight.

Fields' teammates, Bo Touris (103 pounds) and Alex Flake (130), did not fare as well.

Touris (44-1) saw his bid for a perfect season end in a 5-4 semifinal loss to Elyria's Steve Mitcheff.

The match was tied at two in the second period, with Mitcheff opening a 5-3 lead and then holding on for the win.

"He's crushed," Fields said of Tou· ris. "His world just came crashing down. He was expected to win and lost to a kid he beat earlier this year. He just has to get the weight off, get his head back in it and come back and get third."

Flake (43-6) dropped a 5-1 decision to St. Edward's Dan Gonsorin a semifinal match.

Touris and Flake will look to battle back for third place today.

Elder's Sean Jameson advanced to the finals at 215 following a dramatic 2-1 double-overtime win against Sandusky's Anthony Watson.

Jameson (41-1) will oppose Wadsworth's Dave Crowley (44-7) in the title match.

Hamilton's Josh Steele (2&-5) was trailing Mount Vernon's Michael Ly· barger 12·2 in the third period before losing the 125-pound semifinal match by default.

Solon's Kevin Hardy nipped Oak Hills' Eric Meyer (3&-5) &-5 in a semifinal match at 130.

Sycamore's Caleb Upsey (3&-6) rallied for a 7-5 lead against Reynolds.burg's Andy Hartshorn but was pinned in 4:47 in a semifinal bout at 275. Moeller and Lakota West were tied for fourth heading into today with 49 points.

Powerhouse St. Edward was comfortably in front with 177 points.

Division II Apair of area seniors remained alive entering consolation round action today. Ross' Dylan Ray, who placed sixth at 145last season, was guaranteed another place finish at 160.

Teammate Nate Kanta also secured a place finish at 171.

St. Paris Graham (120.5) appearE headed to another team crown.

Ross (15.5) was 27th.

Moeller captures title

Crusaders have two champions, send nine to state meet

By Mark Schmelle1r Enquirer contribu!M

Things don't alwa:vs go Moeller's way on the wre&ling mats, but even when they don'!:, il dloesn't seem to matter.

Moeller had two• fewer state (J.lalifiers than last season's 11 and tovo fewer district champions than last season's four, but the Crusaders still managed to earn the Divis:on I district championship at Fairfield on Saturday night ''We had a couple of bad breaks," Moeller coach] effGaier said. ''If we don't have those, I think we're right on target" Moeller juniors Tommy Weinkam (140 pounds) and Mfue Mahon (152) lead a contingent of nine Crusaders into the state championship meet, which is scheduled for Thursday-Saturday at Ohio State University's Sctottenstein Center in Columbus.

'The top four wrestlers in each of 14 weight classes qualified for the state meet Moeller's bad breaks included 125-pound sophomore Eric Gobin notmakingweightand senior Jared Glaser (130) suffering an injury.

"Eric's going through a growth spurt," Gaier said. "(Glaser) was banged up in a tough quarterfinal match, and he couldn't grip."

The biggest bad break for Moeller was the loss by junior Frank Becker at 275 powuls. Becker was leading Centervile senior Lance Wagner in the second period when Wagner executed a stunning reversal and pinned Becker, who has 28 pins and needs three to set Moeller's single-season record.

Lakota West had three district champions while finishing second.

They included junior Bo Touris, who is 42-D at 103, and sophomore Ryan Fields, who is 43-0 at 112. Ftre-

birds senior Too_y Bradbeny (160) was Lakota West's other district champion.

Besides Touris and Fields, Harrisor1 senior Tyler Adams (119) and Princeton junior Muhammed Air dur·Rahrnan (145) also remained Wldefeated while winning district championships Adams won last yeGr at 112 and finished sixth in the state.

"I was confident last year, but this is my last shot at the state title, and I have more in my bag than last year," saidAdrums (3Q.O)

Abdur-Rahrnan (28-0) has been going to the state tournament since he was in the eighth grade, but this will be his first visit as a competitor.

"It's a good feeling," Abdur-Rahman said. 'Tm ready to bang with whoever's L.p there."

DIVISION II: Ross was the highest-placed local team at Goshen, Jinishingfifth with 71 points. Ross' Dylan Ray was runner-up, falling to Hillsboro's Greg Rhoads 4-3 in the 160-pound championship. The other top local finishers - all runnersup- were Franklin's Thea Hilde-

brand (112), Batavia's Jason Robbe (130) and New Richmond's Aaron Egan (152).

District weekend all about maintaining focus

By Mike Dyer

2~2 J ~o<o nior Bo Touris (103) and ¡sophomore

Enqui~er staff writer

Lakota West coach Scott Fetzer expected to log more hours watching film to prepare for this weekend's district tournament, but he also has stressed to the Frrebirds the importance ofnotlooking too far ahead- to the state tournament.

'We reminded the kids they need to keep doing what they've done all year," Fetzer said. 'They haven't been fazed, so they don't need to change now."

All eyes will be on Moeller and West- the area's top two Division I teams - as the district tournament opens at Fairfield at 2 p.m. today.

Lakota West had 12 wrestlers qualify to the district at the Fairfield 1 sectional, including undefeated ju-

Ryan Fields (112). To uris is 38-0 and Fields is 39-0.

Any lapse in focus could be cause for an early exit, said senior Alex Flake, who was a sectional champ at 130. "(District week) does make it a lot more exciting," Flake said. 'To have everyone else (on the team) winning, it makes the hard work and cutting weight a little bit better."

For top-ranked Moeller, ranked No.9 nationally by Amateur Wre& tling News, 14 wrestlers made eli& trict.

Moeller junior Frank Becker (275) said watching film with coaches is crucial, but he enjoys practicing with 13 other varsity athletes.

"Once it's district, the coaches say there is no more getting better,"

WresUing Becker said. "(The coaches) just keep ... making sure our techniques are down. It's kind of hard to learn something again in a week."

Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said there isn't any big secret for today.

"Our coaching staff will do a lot at this tinie of year with visualization keeping the kids positive - and have them visualize proper technique and their successful matches," Gaier said. "At this time of year, you can see some upsets because kids get too tight."

GROWING UP FAST: Elder won the Fairfield 2 sectional, and Elder coach Dick McCoy said the Panthers could do well this weekend.

'The team is coming together at

the nght time," McCoy said. "... I knew we were a better team than we had shown the last couple of weeks of the season, and now we are wre& tling to our potential."

Tommy Pretty (103), Justin McCoy (112), Curt DeJaco (152) and Sean Jameson (215) won sectional titles as Elder qualified 12 wrestlers overall.

SURPRISING NO MORE: Roger Bacon clinched its first sectional title since 1990 by winning at Division II Goshen. The Spartans, who had 11 district qualifiers, return to Goshen today.

'What amazes me is that some of these guys aren't very technically sound as wrestlers, but they win a lot of matches with heart and by going hard and wrestling very physical," Bacon coach Brennan Ryan said.

Junior Chris Trimbach (112), junior Thomas Raabe (125), junior Ryan Hammoor (145) and sophomoreJohn Hoeh (171) were sectional champions.

MAN OF stmE: Norwood's Dominique Steele is undefeated (440) at 275 and although the weight class is very deep, he could become Norwood's first state qualifier since 1996.

NICE TO BE HOME: Host Blanche& ter won a Division III sectional and has 10 district qualifiers, including sectional championsJeffPanno (145) and Zak Taylor (215).

"It means a lot to my team to win a sectional title," coach Bryan Pennix said.

Pennix said he believes Amanda Breezley (112) is the first female in the state to be a four-time district qualifier.

TournamentWresUing shows. Moeller, Lakota West strong points

By Mike Dyer

Enquirer staff writer

As two of the top Division I teams in Ohio, Moeller and lakota West gained some perspective from the State Dual Meet Tournament last weekend at Wadsworth.

Moeller, No. 1 in The Enquirer coaches' poll, took second, and No.2 lakota West was third. Moeller lost to lakewood St Edward 4915 in the championship Sunday.

"Certainly we enjoy competing against (St Ed's)," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said. "Ifs a gauge to see where we are at The good thing about wrestling is that your weak-

/-/

nesses are exposed, and we hope to have those corrected by the state tournament" The top eight Division I teams in the state, based on the amount of points their underclassmen scored at last season's district tournament, competed in the tournament Juniors Germane Undsey (135), · Dean Gaier (160) and Frank Becker (275) took first-place honors for the Crusaders.

"Undsey and Gaier are both on the verge of being ranked with the nation's best," Amateur Wrestling

News high school columnist/ranker Bob Preusse said.

Moeller is ranked No. 6 nationally, according to AWN. Several area teams, including defending champion Moeller, are at the All-Ohio Catholic Invitational at Elyria Catholic Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. The Crusaders have won it three of the past five seasons.

"At this point of the season, we are tweaking a lot of things," Gaier said. lakota West coach Scott Fetzer said Wadsworth provided experience for his younger wrestlers.

"Thafs probably the biggest thing we will take from it," Fetzer

said. "Using that experience down the road when you put it to the big test ... When we talk about a high level of competition, they can envision that in their mind."

Senior Alex Flake (130), juniors Bo Touris (103) and Rick Weather· holt (189) and sophomore Ryan Fields (112) went undefeated.

Preusse added Touris (20-0) as one of the top six wrestlers nationally in his weight class.

The Frrebirds host the lakota West Invitational at 10 am. Saturday.

• In Division IT, Roger Bacon continuestobehealthy-amajoradvantage over last season, when inju-

ries took their toll.

The Spartans (8-1) won the Norwood Invitational last weekend. Senior Dave Harris (119) was named most valuable wrestler.

Juniors Thomas Raabe (125), Ryan Hammoor (145) and Dan Johnson (152) were also champions.

• Up to 19 teams will compete in the 34th annual Charlie Moore Invitational, which begins at 5:30 p.m. today at Reading. Blanchester and Middletown Madison are among thdavorites.

Reading starts six sophomoresthe most since 1998. The tournament resumes at 10 am. Saturday with the finals beginning at 6 p.m.

Firebirds head statewide field at Mason By Mike Dyer Enquirer staff writer

Defending champ Lakota West highlights the field in the second annual James Homing Memorial Invitational, which begins at 9:30 a.m.

Saturday at Mason.

Teams from across the state are expected, including Central Crossing, Dublin Coffman, Greenville, Kettering Fairmont, Medina, Shaker Heights and Westerville South.

Other local teams competing include Milford and Mason. The Firebirds are ranked No. 2 in the Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll and No. 3 in the state Associated Press poll Homing, a former Mason wrestling captain, died after an auto accident in October 2004.

• The Hammer and Anvil Invita-

tiona!, hosted by Western Brown, will take place Saturday. Middletown

Wrestling

Madison, No. 9 in the Enquirer Divisions n-m poll, is among the new teams competing in the tournament, which boasts four state champions and 23 state placers in the field.

• The ·Wyoming Duals tournament begins at 9:45 a.m. Saturday.

Madeira and Loveland's B team are new to the tournament; Middletown and little Miami chose not to return.

State-ranked Miamisburg is the defending champion.

New Richmond, 12-6 in dual meets and ranked No.-:2 in the Enquirer Divisions IT-ill poll, will challenge Miamisburg. Senior Aaron Egan (152 pounds) leads New Richmond with a team-high 21 wins.

Egan, who moved up from 145 pounds last season, surpassed the school record for career wins earlier

this season and has 115 heading into the weekend. The previous record was 108, set in 1990 by Scott Smith the Western Brown wrestling coach. "(Aaron) has dominated most local opponents this year and I think has a solid shot at qualifying for the state tournament this year," Norwood coach Rick Robisch said.

Three returning district qualifiers, sophomoresNickSamad (119), Luke Sexson (130) and James Gibbs (160), offer the lions promise for the future.

"I knew we would be better this year because of our experience," New Richmond coach Deron Shinkle said.

CRUSAD£RS CRUISING: Moeller won the All-Ohio Catholic Tourna-

ment at Elyria Catholic last weekend.

Seniors Jared Glaser (130) and Eric Cameron (171) and junior Germane lindsey (140) took first-place honors.

Moeller, ranked No.7 nationally

by Amateur Wrestling News, is at the Mayfield Big 8 Tournament at 10 a.m. Saturday.

RIVALRY MATCH: St. Xavier begins a stretch of four dual meets when it hosts Elder Saturday. The Bombers will wrestle Mason, Moeller and Hamilton next week.

"It's going to be one of the greatest matches of the year," St. Xavier coach Dick Murphy said. "It's one of those matches that depends on a pin that could make the difference."

St. Xavier was third and Elder fourth at Elyria.

Murphy said the key will be winning the middle and upper weight

classes. Elder is led by senior Sean Jameson (215), who took first place at Elyria.

St. Xavier's Don Carraher (140) and Louis Miller (171) were runnersup at Elyria PINS: A good test for No. 1 Roger Bacon, which is 8-1 in dual meets, will be facing Mount Healthy and Ross in a tri-match at Ross at 6 p.m. today.

The Spartans must prove they are consistent at 152 and above, coach Brennan Ryan said. Roger Bacon senior David Harris (119) is 14 wins from setting a school record for career wins. The current mark is 91 wins, set in 1995 by Dave Frey and tied in 2003 by Nick Owens.... Harrison senior Tyler Adams (119) is 17-0 heading into tonight's match with Sycamore. Adams, who was sixth at state in Division I last season, is considered a threat for a state title.

Moeller, St. X wrestlers are friendly foes

By Mike Dyer Enquirer staff writer

2-3 .. o~

When St. Xavier wrestler Louis . Miller was without a coach at a junior nationals tournament in Cleveland last March, an unlikely rival, Moeller senior Eric Cameron, stepped forward. .

"It's weird," Miller said. "It's not that you want someone to catch on to your style. I was definitely leery of that."

Said Cameron: "It was weird, but I was pretty honest with him."

On Saturday, Moeller will visit St. Xavier in a dual meet at 7 p.m.

The Crusaders have won 11 consecutive duals and have not lost to St. X since 1994. ''They are both laying it on the line," Moeller coach]eff Gaier said.

"Lou is giving him everything he's

got, and Eric hasn't left any stone unturned."

No one expects the 171-pound rivalry between Miller and Cameron to end this weekend. They could face each other four more times, including the Greater Catholic League tournament and the postseason.

"I know his style and he knows mine," Miller said. "You have to constantly innovate. You have to find that spark and different ways to get up for the match."

St. Xavier coach Dick Murphy said Miller wouldn't be as effective if it weren't for Cameron pushing him. ''Total respect," Murphy said of the relationship. ''They know it's the toughest match of the year."

While Miller anc;l Cameron support each other in offseason compe-

WresUing notebook tition, it wouldn't be fair to characterize the two as the best of friends.

"I see him at parties, but we don't hang out," Miller said. "It's not like that. It's more like, 'What's up? How are you doing?'You don'twantto be too good of friends when you are competing for the state title."

They have wrestled each other eight times in their high school careers. Cameron has won six matches, including a 3-1 record last season. But Miller defeated Cameron at state to finish seventh.

Murphy said the outcome of Saturday's match would be determined by takedowns. Each will be careful not to make a mistake. ''They both are going to I{Pntend for a state championship," murphy

said. ''This is one more log onto the fire."

In seventh arid eighth grade, Miller (116) and Cameron (134) wrestled for Moeller's junior high team. That is where they earned a mutual respect for each other.

"Of all the people at Moeller, I probably like him the most," Miller said of Cameron.

TOUGH COMP£nnON: Moeller, ranked No.9 nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, had solid contributions last week from several wrestlers who had three pins, including sophomore Adam Wallander (112 pounds) and juniors Germane Lindsey (135), Dean Gaier (160) and Frank Becker (275).

On Jan. 28, Moeller defeated Parkersburg South (W.Va.) 56-12 but lost to St. Paris Graham 3&;38.

"Even though we lost at GraK'am,

it was a great dual meet," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said. ''The day had 27 wrestlers who competed in the state tournament (including the West Vrrginia state tournament)."

• Lakota West, No.2 in the Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, is at Oak Hills Saturday before heading to Middletown Feb. 11 for the Greater Miami Conference tournament.

• In the Enquirer Divisions II-III poll, Ross and Roger Bacon tied for the top spot. Bacon is at the Batavia Invitational Saturday, and coach Brennan Ryan said next week's GCL tournament will prepare the Spartans for sectionals. The Spartans won theGCLNorth title for the first time last season.

The Rams are at the FortAncient Valley Conference championships next weekend at W:ilmington.

Moeller dominates quarterfinal matches Enquirer staff reports

No.1 seed Moeller led after the first day of the Wilmington Division I sectional and had all 14 wrestlers win their quarterfinal matches.

The Crusaders, ranked No.9 nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, advanced in every weight class of Friday's quarterfinals.

"We won all the matches we ·were supposed to win," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said. "It's a good start."

Gaier said he hopes to advance everyone to district and get a jump start on seeding for next week.

Milford (67.5) is second, followed by Mason (67) and Westem Brown (55.5).

'The matches played out as they were seeded, so we're real happy with the opening round," Mason coach Craig Murnan said. ''We are in a position to have a successful tournament and get the kids out that we originally thought."

One intriguing matchup in today's semifinals could be at

135 where Western Brown's Ryan Brownlee will face Mason's Joel Cooperstein.

The winner probably will face Moeller's Germane lindsey, ranked No.2 in the Brakeman Report.

"It's a really good weight class," Murnan said. 'The top three kids are all very capable of going to the state tournament."

Another good matchup will be at 189, where Moeller's Ross Quehl will face Mason's Brian Porter.

• In Division I at Fairfield, Lakota West leads the team standings, followed by Fairfield and Princeton.

• In Division II at Goshen, Roger Bacon (74.5) has a narrow lead over New Richmond (74). McNicholas (56) is third.

• In Division III at ClintonMassie, Preble Shawnee (68) leads, followed by Middletown Madison (59.5), Clinton-Massie (56) and Madeira (54).

• In Division III at Blanchester, Reading leads with 63 points, followed by Blanchester (61.50), ..and Carlisle (48.50).

WresUing Coaches Association Classic

Moeller's Gaier saves his 'dad' role for home Coach's son earns early win

By Mark Schmelzer Enquirer contributor

Moeller wrestling coach Jeff Gaier knows exactly what he'd say if his eighth-grade, soccerplaying daughter, Samantha, came to him and asked him if she could take a tum on the mats. ''I'd say no," he said with a smile. "I think it's great that girls are wrestling now, but one or two wrestlers in the family is enough."

Gaier already is tiptoeing through the parenting minefield of coaching his older son, Dean, a 160-pound Crusaders junior.

Dean, who finished fourth in the state at 145 pounds last season, moved into the second round of the Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Classic Friday at Oak Hills High School with a 15-0 technical fall win over Anderson sophomore Erik Hermanns.

Jeff Gaier's father wasn't involved in wrestling, and the 46year-old coach didn't put pressure on Dean to take up the sport.

"I played every sport growing up - baseball, soccer, basketball," Dean said. "In about the fifth grade, I started focusing on football and wrestling."

Said Jeff: "I was so busy with the high school (wrestlers) that it was the youth coaches who really developed him. I'm just glad he was still interested when he got to high school."

Jeff says watching how other coaches, such as former Purcell Marian coach Terry Meinking and St. Xavier coach Dick McCoy., worked with their sons helped him handle coaching Dean.

"One of the tricky things is to

"One of the tricky things is to make sure you're as consistent with him as you are with the other wrestlers.¡You try to treat him like a coach, not like a dad. If you think about him as a dad, you get too emotionaL " Moeller ctadl Jeff Gaier, on ceaching son De.

make sure you"re as consistent with him as you are with the other wrestlers," Jeff said. "You try to treat him like a coach, not like a dad. If you think about him as a dad, you get too emotional."

Dean credits being able to get away from wrestling by playing strong safety for the Crusaders football team with helping him avoid mat burnout.

"After football, I'm ready to get back into it," Dean said.

One option not available to most coaches is the opportunity to square off against a son on the wrestling mat occasionally - as Jeff did with Dean earlier this week.

"He held me down a couple of times, but I was able to flip him over on his back," Dean said.

The Coaches Classic is scheduled to continue at 10 a.m. today, with the championship finals set for 6 p.m.

Moeller primed for Holiday Classic repeat

By JD Malone Enquirer staff writer

While the venue for the 31-team Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Holiday Classic has changed, the tourname11t favorite remains the same.

Moeller, the state's No. 2-ranked Division I team and the. tournament's defending champion, headlines the two-day event, which begins at 5:30p.m. today at Oak Hills High School. Saturday's rounds begin at 10 a.m.

Moeller, ranked seventh nationally by amateurwrestlingnews.com

after a sixth-place finish in the 'Walsh Ironman meet last weekend in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, is favored for a third consecutive year.

'This is always a great tournament around this time of year," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said of the event, which usually is held at Mason. "It determines bragging rights for the area."

Moeller junior Eric Cameron (171 pounds) will carry high expectations after winning a championship Dec.10 at the Walsh Ironman tournament, deemed by some as the nation's top event. "(Eric) wrestled phenomenal up

there and has worked extremely hard," Gaier said. "He has really been a step up since last year."

While many feel Moeller is the team to beat, other area schools, such as lakota West- ranked No. 3 in Division I in the state- and Elder, Harrison and Mason, field teams capable of placing several wrestlers and scoring a lot of points.

Other wrestlers to watch include Harrison's two-time Classic champion, Tyler Adams (119 pounds); lakota West's Bo Touris (103) and Tony Bradberry (160); Moeller's Frank Becker (275), Mike Mahon (152) and Germaine Lindsey (135);

While the venue for the 3Heam Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Holiday Classic has changed, the tournament favorite remains the same. ¡ Moeller, the state's No. 2-ranked Division I team and the tournament's defending champion, headlines the two-day event, which begins at 5:30p.m. today at Oak Hills High School. Saturday's rounds begin at 10 a.m.

Moeller, ranked seventh nationally by amateurwrestlingnews.com

Walsh lronrnanJileetlastweekend in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, is favored for a third consecutive year.

"Tb.i.s is always a great tournament around this time of year," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said of the event, which usually is held at Mason. "It determines bragging rights for the area."

Moeller junior Eric Cameron (171 pounds) will carry high expectations after winning a championship Dec. 10 at theWalsh Ironrnan tournament, deemed by some as the nation's top event. "(Eric) wrestled phenomenal up

hard," Gaier said. "He has really been a step up since last year."

While many feel Moeller is the team to beat, other area schools, suchasLakotaWest-rankedNo. 3 in DiVision I in the state- and Elder, Harrison and Mason, field teams capable of placing several wrestlers and scoring a lot of points.

Otherwrestlerstowatchinclude Harrison's two-time Classic champion, Tyler Adams (119 pounds); Lakota West's Bo Touris (103) and Tony Bradberry (160); Moeller's Frank Becker (275), Mike Mahon (152) and Germaine lindsey (135);

Mason's Brian Porter (189), who may have one of the best weightclass match-ups of the meet.

Back for this year's competition afterskippinglastyear'smeetislndiana wrestling powerhouse Evansville Mater Dei. Mater Dei won a state-record nine consecutive Indiana championships before recently having its streak broken. The Evansville school may prove to be Moeller's stiffest competition among Division I schools this weekend, along with Lakota West.

In the Divisions II-III bracket,

ing will be worth watching. Roger Bacon has had some early success this season and appears to be one of the strongest small schools in the field.

New this year for the Classic is a modified breakdown of team classes, determined by school size. Division I schools will be split into ''big" and "small" classes, and Divisions II-III will retain their separate class.

Elder, Mason, Lakota East, !.akota West and Mater Dei headline the big-school Division I class; Moeller and Harrison weigh heavily in the small-school class.

TournamentWrestling shows Moeller, Lakota West strong points.

By Mike Dyer / ·:._~· •_::, -;

Enquirer staff writer

--

As two of the top Division I teams in Ohio, Moeller and lakota West gained some perspective from the State Dual Meet Tournament last weekend at Wadsworth.

Moeller, No. 1 in The Enquirer coaches' poll, took second, and No. 2 lakota West was third. Moeller lost to lakewood St. Edward 4915 in the championship Sunday.

"Certainly we enjoy competing against (St. Ed's)," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said. "It's a gauge to see where we are at. The good thing about wrestling is that your weak-

nesses are exposed, and we hope to have those corrected by the state tournament" The top eight Division I teams in the state, based on the amount of points their underclassmen scored at last season's district tournament, competed in the tournament.

Juniors Germane lindsey (135), Dean Gaier (160) and Frank Becker (275) took first-place honors for the Crusaders. "lindsey and Gaier are both on the verge of being ranked with the nation's best," Amateur Wrestling

News high schoo~ columnist/ranker Bob Preusse said.

Moeller is ranked No. 6 nationally, according to AWN. Several area teams, including defending champion Moeller, are at the All-Ohio Catholic Invitational at Elyria Catholic Saturday and Sunday at 10 am. The Crusaders have won it three of the past five seasons.

"At this point of the season, we are tweaking a lot of things," Gaier said. lakota West coach Scott Fetzer said Wadsworth provided experience for his younger wrestlers.

'That's probably the biggest thing we will take from it," Fetzer

said. "Using that expe~ence do~ the road when you put 1t to the btg test ... When we talk about a high level of competition, they can envision that in their mind."

Senior Alex Flake (130), juniors Bo Touris (103) and Rick Weatherholt (189) and sophomore Ryan Fields (ll2) went undefeated.

Preusse added Touris (20-0) as one of the top six wrestlers nationally in his weight class.

The Firebirds host the lakota West Invitational at 10 a.m. Saturday.

• In Division II, Roger Bacon continues to be healthy- a major advantage over last season, when inju-

ries took their toll.

The Spartans (8-1) won the Nor-. wood Invitational last weekend. Senior Dave Harris (ll9) was named most valuable wrestler.

Juniors Thomas Raabe (125), Ryan Hammoor (145) and Dan Johnson (152) were also champions. · • Up to 19 teams will compete in the 34th annual Charlie Moore Invitational, which begins at 5:30 p.m. today at Reading. Blanchester and Middletown Madison are among the favorites.

Reading starts six sophomores~ the most since 1998. The tourna~ ment resumes at 10 a.m. Saturday with the finals beginning at 6 p.m.

Rare losses motivate Moeller wrestlers 2-S-o::~

By Chris Yeager Community Press Contributor

KENWOOD-Withits43-19win over St Xavier Saturday afternoon, the Moeller wrestling team completed a regular season of high expectations mostly met Now rated ninth nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, the Crusaders have been rated as high as fourth, according to head coach Jeff Gaier.

"It doesn't mean anything until the end of the year," Gaier said of the rankings.

Tom Weinkam (140 pounds) countered Gaier's assertion about the value of national status at least a little.

"We use it for motivation," said Weinkam, who missed the St. Xavier dual with an injured hip.

"If we're not working as hard as we should in practice, coach will tell us, 'That's not how the nation's ninth-ranked team should working."'

Though the Crusaders have beaten just about all their competitors this season, it's a loss that remains under Weinkam's skin. "''m still a little disappointed we lost to Graham," Weinkam said of the 35-28loss to perennial Division II team champion St Paris Graham Jan.28.

"That knocked us to ninth in the country."

It's one of only two dual meet

losses Moeller has suffered this year, the other coming 49-19 Jan. 8 to Lakewood St Edward, perennial Division I team champs, at the Ohio State Duals Tournament The Crusaders finished the regular season with a 6-2 dual record.

They started the season ranked 24th nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, but shot up to sixthwithasixth-placefinishinthe Iron Man tournament the second weekendinDecember.

FiveCrusaders-Weinkam(seventh at 140), Germane Lindsey (fourth at 135), Mike Mahon (fifth at 152), Eric Cameron (champ at 171) and Frank Becker (second at heavyweight) -placed for Moeller in what is billed at the country's top high school· meet Then the Crusaders cruised through the Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches' Association Classic in mid-December, outpointing second-place Lakota West by 40 points. Moeller would later beat West, ranked third in Ohio to Moeller's second, 39-19 at the State Duals event Gaier said he began upgrading Moeller's schedule to a more national-class level around 1999.

The point of such competition, Gaier said, is to have his wrestlers prepared for the postseason.

"You start getting into more tough, close matches at the district and state tournaments," Gaier

noted "You need to know h6w your wrestlers will react to thoser situations. The schedule exposes' weaknesses." !.

Then, through illming and: · coaching, the Crusader wrestlers• have done all they can to address their individual weaknesses, Gaier, noted. ,.....

ThoUgh pleased with his team'sr:, results this year, Gaier noted that Germane Lindsey, a SWOWCA.., champ as well as Iron Man aqdJ Powerade placer, has shOW,ll-; steady improvement over th~r­ course of the season.

"Frank Becker's gotten bett~· every week, too," Gaier noted.~ "Heavyweight is a tough wei!W~~ class this year."

•. r Gaier's only complaint is th~kj the Crusaders have rarely had th~ir , full starting lineup ready for com~ · petition, something the team h*largely avoided in the past .'

"The schedule's made us ·a ' much better team," Gaier said.} "We're wrestling with confidence:·.; It's a confidence Moeller wantS·· as it rolls toward the state meer;~ starting with Saturday's Catholic League meet at Elder. tournament starts at 10 am.

1\f()eller, St. X wrestlers are friendly foes· : ..._'

\'.

By Mike Oyer Enquirer staff writer

When St. Xavier wrestler Louis Miller was without a coach at a junior nationals tournament in Cleveland last March, an unlikely rival, Moeller senior Eric Cameron, stepped forward.

"It's weird," Miller said. "It's not that you want someone to catch on to your style. I was definitely leery of that."

Said Cameron: "It was weird, but I was pretty honest with him."

On Saturday, Moeller will visit St. Xavier in a dual meet at 7 p.m.

The Crusaders have won 11 consecutive duals and have not lost to St. X since 1994.

'They are both laying it on the line," Moeller coach]eff Gaier said.

"Lou is giving him everything he's

got, and Eric hasn't left any stone unturned."

No one expects the 171-poundrivalry between Miller and Cameron to end this weekend. They could face each other four more times, including the Greater Catholic League tournament and the postseason. ' "I know his style and he knows mine," Miller said. ''You have to constantly innovate. You have to find that spark and different ways to get up for the match."

St. Xavier coach Dick Murphy said Miller wouldn't be as effective if it weren't for Cameron pushing him.

'Total respect," Murphy said of the relationship. 'They know it's the toughest match of the year."

While Miller and Cameron support each other in offseason compe-

WresUing notebook tition, it wouldn't be fair to characterize the two as the best of friends.

"Iseehimatparties, butwedon't hang out," Miller said. "It's not like that.It's more like, 'What's up? How are you doing?'You don't want to be too good of friends when you are competing for the state title."

They have wrestled each other eight times in their high school careers. Cameron has won six matches, including a 3-1 record last season. But Miller defeated Cameron at state to finish seventh.

Murphy said the outcome of Saturday's match would be determined by takedowns. Each will be careful not to make a mistake.

'They both are going to contend for a state championship," Murphy

said. 'This is one more log onto the fire."

In seventh and eighth grade, Miller (116) and Cameron (134) wrestled for Moeller's junior high team. That is where they earned a mutual respect for each other.

"Of all the people at Moeller, I probably like him the most," Miller said of Cameron.

TOUGH COMPETI110N: Moeller, ranked No. 9 nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, had solid contributions last week from several wrestlers who had three pins, including sophomore Adam Wallander (112 pounds) and juniors Germane Lindsey (135), Dean Gaier (160) and Frank Becker (275).

On Jan. 28, Moeller defeated Parkersburg South (W.Va.) 5&-12 but lost to St. Paris Graham 35-38.

"Even though we lost at Graham,

it was a great dual meet," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier srud. 'The day had 27 wrestlers who competed in the state tournament (including the West Virginia state tournament)."

• Lakota West, No. 2 in the Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, is at Oak Hills Saturday before heading to Middletown Feb. 11 for the Greater Miami Conference tournament.

• In the Enquirer Divisions II-III poll, Ross and Roger Bacon tied for the top spot. Bacon is at the Batavia Invitational Saturday, and coach Brennan Ryan said next week's GCL tournament will prepare the Spartans for sectionals. The Spartans won the GCL North title for the firsttimelastseason.

The Rams are at the FortAncient Valley Conference championships next weekend at Wilmington.

Sam Emig placed third at 215 pounds, with Ross Quehl taking fourth at 189.

With Moeller so strong this year, there just weren't a lot of surprises to be had. Though the Crusaders fell short of its goal of getting all14 of its wrestlers into the finals, Gaier was fairly sanguine about Saturday's results.

"Ithoughtwehadaprettygood day in a tough league," Gaier noted. "Any time you win it's good."

KENWOOD - In early January, Adam Wallender, Moeller's 112pound Greater Catholic League champion this past Saturday, hit a mighty tough patch in the Crusaders' demanding schedule.

After losing to Elder's Justin McCoy, ranked fifth in Ohio by the influential Brakeman Report, Wallender then had to face three more of the state's top five 112-pound wrestlers.

Wallender lost all of them that weekend.

"I was like 13-13 and I was beginning to feel miserable," the Amberley Village resident said.

"But I didn't let it knock me down."

Heading into Saturday's GCL tourney at Elder, Wallender had won six in a row. He was to face McCoy for the third time this season in the finals. McCoy had won both those matches.

Assistant head coach Ed Jamieson was predicting a different sort of result before Wallender's show down with McCoy. "He's come out of nowhere," Jamieson said. "He's just keeps getting better every week."

Wallender hung tough for a 2-0 win over McCoy, becoming Moeller's second league champ last Saturday. He's now won nine . matches in a row- and at just the right time of the season.

"My teammates and our practice regimen helped me turn it around," said Wallender, a sophomore. "I've gotten better with my stanceonmyfeetandmyabilityto take takedowns."

Head coach Jeff Gaier said the tough Crusader schedule is geared toward wrestlers like Wallender, who, when tournament-time rolls around, have been well-tested.

"Adam's worked very¡ hard to get into the lineup," Gaier said.

"He's done more in the off-season than a lot of our guys. I think he got in over 100 matches. And it's started to payoff."

Moeller received lots of payoffs last weekend, as all 14 wrestlers made it to the placement podium 1\velve of those i 4 were finalists¡ as Moeller outpointed second: pia~ Elder 272 points to 189. St ~VIer finished third in the South Wlth 154 points. La Salle was

Wrestling Chris Yeary (11-3), who weighs 93 pounds, was the CHL champion at 103. Kyle Yeary (171) won his second CHL title and improved to 25-7.

FRESH FACES: There is no confusion as to what Moeller coach Jeff Gaier wants as the No. 1 seed at the Wilmington sectional.

"Our major goal this week is to get everyone qualified for the district tournament," Gaier said.

Several wrestlers seem obvious favorites for Moeller, ranked No.9 nationally by Amateur Wresiling News. The Crusaders, ranked No. 1 · in the Enquirer Division I coaches' poll, have won eight of their past nine sectionals, including the past two at Wilmington.

Newto the starting lineup this season are Adam Wallander (112), Matt

Melink (119) and Sam Emig (215).

Emig, a senior, has placed in the past two tournaments.

Melink, a sophomore, won the starting spot mid-year and finished second at the GCL Wallander, a sophomore, has been the biggest surprise, Gaier said. Wallander has won nine consecutive matches, including an upset of Elder's Justin McCoy to win the GCLtitle.

McCoy had defeated Wallander twice earlier in the season.

"Moeller has a lot of kids who can place (at state), and they have had a great schedule to toughen them for the state tournament," Amateur Wrestling News high school columnist/ranker Bob Preusse said.

Lakota West, which is the No.2 seed, and No. 3 Harrison are at the Fairfield sectional.

No.1 seed Moeller led after the first day of the Wilmington Division I sectional and had all 14 wrestlers win their quarterfinal matches.

The Crusaders, ranked No. 9 nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, advanced in every weight class of Friday's quarterfinals.

"We won all the matches we were supposed to win," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said. "It's a good start."

Gaier said he hopes to advance everyone to district and get a jump start on seeding for next week.

Milford (67.5) is second, followed by Mason (67) and Western Brown (55.5).

'The matches played out as they were seeded, so we're real happy with the opening round," Mason coach Craig Murnan said. "We are in a position to have a successful tournament and get the kids out that we originally thought."

One intriguing matchup in today's semifinals could be at

135 where Western Brown's Ryan Brownlee will face Mason's Joel Cooperstein.

The winner probably will face Moeller's Germane lindsey, ranked No. 2 in the Brakeman Report.

"It's a really good weight class," Murnan said. 'The top three kids are all very capable of going to the state tournament" Another good matchup will be at 189, where Moeller's Ross Quehl will face Mason's Brian Porter.

Because Moeller, ranked No. 11 nationally by Amateur Wrestling News, has up to six wrestlers capable of winning a state championship Saturday night, coach Jeff Gaier isn't putting the onus on any individual.

'The whole year our goal has been to make it to the state tourna· ment and look to place or maybe even win it," Gaier said.

The state tournament begins at 3 p.m. today at Ohio State University's Schottenstein Center in Columbus. The finals are at 5 p.m. Sat· urday.

Moeller has nine state qualifiers, including district champions Tommy Weinkam (140) and Mike Ma· hon (152).

"Mike is going to be running in the thing to win it," Gaier said. "He • is not making any mistakes, and a • lot of his matches will be one- or

State wrestling two-pointers."

Alex Weaver (103), Adam Wallander (112), Germane lindsey (135), Cebastian Hilton (145), Dean Gaier (160), Eric Cameron (171) and Frank Becker (275) also quali:fied.

With 13 qualifiers, Lakewood St. Edward is the overwhelming favor· ite to capture the Division I title.

• Lakota West has three district champions, the most in school history.

Senior Tony Bradberry (160) returns to Columbus for the second consecutive season as district champ, his third trip overall.

Junior Bo Touris (42-0) and sophomore Ryan Fields (43-0) captured district titles at 103 and 112, respectively.

"I think all three have legitimate shots to be wrestling Saturday · night (in the finals)," Lakota West

coach Scott Fetzer said.

Bradberry (39-4), who has signed with Ashland University, has "tunnel vision" for wrestling in the finals Saturday night.

"It's one of those final hurrahs," said Bradberry, who has just one wininfivematchesatstate. "I'mgoing to give everything in practice and barely stand when I walk out, knowing I can't walk into practice next week."

• Harrison senior Tyler Adams (112) is undefeated (30-0) after winning a district title. Adams was sixth at state last season.

"He's a hanger," Harrison coach . Chad Dennis said. "When you put him on the mat, he's going to give everything he's got for six minutes."

• Princeton junior Muhammad Abdur-Rahman (145), who won the district title, also is undefeated (28-0). "(Muhammad) is very quick, explosive and focused when he wres-

tles," Princeton coach Ty Robbins said.

DIVISION II: Ross seniors Dylan Ray (160) and Nate Kanta (171) are the 33rd and 34th state qualifiers in school history and continued a string of 13 consecutive seasons that Ross has been represented at state. Ray was sixth last season.

• Indian Hill sophomore Michael Jameson (119) will attempt to become the third state placer in school history. Jameson is 44-4.

DIVISION Ill: Madeira and Blanchester were the highest finishers at the Fairmont district. Madeira's David Carpenter (112) and returning state qualifier Kevin Cloran (135) placed third at district.

Zak Taylor was a district champion at 215 for Blanchester. Damon Barr (140) and Chris Herrington (275) are the other qualifiers.

Lakota West coach Scott Fetzer expected to log more hours watching film to prepare for this weekend's district tournament, but he also has stressed to the Frrebirds the importance of not looking too far ahead- to the state tournament "We reminded the kids they need to keep doing what they've done all year," Fetzer said. 'They haven't been fazed, so they don't need to change now."

All eyes will be on Moeller and West- the area's top two Division I teams - as the district tournament opens at Fairfield at 2 p.m. today.

Lakota West had 12 wrestlers qualify to the district at the Fairfield 1 ~nal, including undefeated ju-

MAN OF STEnE: Norwood's Dominique Steele is undefeated (44-0) at 275 and although the weight class is very deep, he could become Norwood's first state qualifier since 1996.

NICE TO BE HOME: Host Blanchester won a Division ill sectional and has 10 district qualifiers, including sectionalchampionsJeffPanno (145) and Zak Taylor (215).

"It means a lot to my team to win a sectional title," coach Bryan Pennix said.

Pennix said he believes Amanda Breezley (112) is the first female in the state to be a four-time district qualifier.

Sectional: Moeller, then everyone else

By Chris Yeager Community Press Contributor Perhaps the only surprise about Moeller's dominant performance in taking the Division I Wilmington sectional title last weekend was that the Crusaders didn't set a record for team points.

With all 14 of . its wrestlers advancing to this Gaier weekend's Division fSbuthwest district meet at Fairfield High School, Moeller rolled up 310 points, easily snuffing Milford's 2l3 runner-up total.

"We scored 312.5 last year," Moeller head coach Jeff Gaier recalled "But all our top seeds won this week, and we had 12 of 14 in the finals."

Perhaps more pleasing to Gaier is that his wrestlers are reaping the rewards of the area's toughest schedule.

The Crusaders opened with the national-class Ironman tournament in early December. In addition to competing iri the State Duals and Mayfield Big Eight meets, Moeller won this year's Powerade event, another nationally-recognized tournament.

"We're seeing the payoff in the tight matches," Gaier explained.

"The matches we're supposed to win by one or two points, we're starting to win by four or five."

Among all high school sports, wrestlers may be more focused on the state tournament than any 'other athletes, at least as a sport as a whole. The Crusaders are no different, and one wonders how, given that postseason emphasis, a regular season is even tolerable.

"We're not looking past anyone," Germane Lindsey said of the local competition. . ".We've Lindsey been drillmg a lot, getting our techniques down."

It's all practice for state, Lindsey irnpliedr; but all~tha5}ractice is /,..

.

necessary if a wrestler hopes to perform well enough to earn ·a Columbus trip.

Lindsey pointed himself in that directionatWilmingtonlastSaturday, taking the 135-pound sectional title, his second, with a 54 decision over Western Brown's Ryan Brownlee.

Ten more Crusaders captured individual· titles - Alex Weaver (103), AdamWallender (112), Eric Gobin (125), Jared Glaser (130), TommyWeinkam (140), Cebastian Hilton (145), Mike Mahon (152), Dean Gaier (160)', Eric Cameron (171) and heavyweight Fratlk Becker. <" At215 pounds, Sam Ernigwas::a mild surprise as runner-up, having placed third at the GCL m¢ih two weekends ago. · "Sam did a good job for us;" said Linds~y, who takes a 36-5 record into district competition.

"He was seeded third. I think were wrestling now at the level W,e should." ··· So as not to be the only Moeller wrestlers watching from the stands this weekend, Matt Melink qualifiedwithafourth-placefinish at 119 pounds, with Ross Quehl taking third at 189.

Moeller will be seeking its third consecutive Division I Southwest district team crown at Fairfield.

Wrestling begins Friday afternoon and resumes Saturday morning, . with first- and third-plac~ fin$ starting late Saturday afternoon. · The Crusaders' district meet goal will be the same as it was for the sectional tourney- advance as many wrestlers as they can to Columbus.

"We have to send as many as we can to have a realistic chance;'' Gaier said of Moeller's desire to challenge perennial Division :I champion Lakewood St. Edward.

"It takes a ton of work to get to the state tournament. Wrestling is not the kind of sport where you can win by getting lucky."

The top four wrestlers in each weight class will advance to the state meet March 2 through March 4. The state meet will be at Value Oty Arena in Ohio State University's Schottenstein Center. . suburban@communitypress.ccif-n ~

~~!.tWo~re step in Moeller mission Community Press Contributor

FAIRFIELD - "We're happy, but...," and Cebastian Hilton didn't quite finish the sentence. He was describing both the Moeller team's Division I district team wrestling title as well as his own third-place finish at 145 pounds.

Posting 207 points to runnerup Lakota West's 170, the Crusaders claimed their third consecutive district team championship.

Elder finished third with 116.5 points.

For Hilton, his pleasure was tempered by a third-period takedown by Princeton's Muhammad Abdur-Rahman in their semifinal match left a bittersweet taste in his mouth.

"I rode him the whole second period, thinking maybe I could get a tum," Hilton said of his intentions to score near-fall points against the undefeated AbdurRahman.

It didn't happen, and Hilton settled for a trip to Columbus with an ll-0 pasting of Troy's Drew Mastrino for his third-place finish.

This team started the year with very high expectations and, for the most part, has met those expectations, winning the Powerade tournament and the Catholic Invitational.

Yet, in a season in which things have gone pretty much as expected, across the city, things seemed to get a little bumpy for the Crusaders.

A lapse cost Dean Gaier a likely disnict title at l 60 pounds. Heavyweight Frank Becker was leading in his championship final when he got pinned by Centerville's Lance Wagner.

"You always have difficult things come up," head coach Jeff Gaier said.

A big part of Moeller's story this past weekend, though, is about who didn't qualify. Sophomore Eric Gobin had reached the 125pound championship semifinal round after Friday night's competition only to come in too heavy at Saturday morning's weigh-in.

"He gave it his best," Gaier said of Gobin's attempts Saturday morning to make weight. "Eric's had a growth spurt and there wasn't another place for him to go in our lineup this season. He tried very hard to make it."

In spite of having to forfeit out of the tournament, Gobin wound up with a sixth-place finish. However, the loss dents the Crusaders' plans on challenging Lakewood St. Edward for the state team title.

A fifth-place finisher at state last year, Gobin would likely have provided Moeller with points this coming weekend.

"We have nine qualifiers," Gaier pointed out, acknowledging that that's two less than last year's squad. "We have a lot we can score with. We have to be pleased."

The Crusaders earned two individual titles among those nine ' top-four finishers - Tommy Weinkam at 140 pounds and Mike Mahon at 152.

Alex Weaver and Frank Becker both finished as runners-up, at

103 and heavyweight, respectively.

Germane Lindsey (135), Cebastian Hilton (145), Dean Gaier (160), and Eric Cameron (171) each advanced to the state meet by finishing third. Adam Wallender qualified with a fourth-place effort at ll2 pounds.

And, as Lindsey pointed out after the Coaches Classic tournament in December, a win is a win.

The district tournament is not .the place where a wrestler wants to misstep. A very bad step, and the season ended right there. A bad enough step can affect whom the next opponent or opponents will be in Columbus.

So, though Gaier and Becker didn't err critically, they may have made their paths through the tournament a little more dicey.

The state tournament draw is determined by district finish, with district winners paired against fourth-place qualifiers in the opening rounds.

By Sunday afternoon, the Moeller wrestlers knew they'd have to step up their performances to compete with perennial champ St. Edward.

The Lakewood school qualified l3 of its 14 starters for the state event.

As for Hilton, by Sunday afternoon he'd turned his attention away from the bittersweet to the optimistic. ''I'm going to work on my conditioning this week," he said of his state tourney preparations. "My goal has been to finish in the top three in the state. So I'm going to keep my head in the wrestling."

In Division III, Madeira sophomores David Carpenter and Kevin Cloran advanced to the state meet.

At 112 pounds Carpenter pinned Jon Gulley of lli-County North (1st period) to finish third.

At 135 pounds Cloran decisioned Josh Levy of W LibertySalem 6-4 to also finish tl1ird.

Madeira posted 63.5 points to finish ninth in their district.

Wrestlers from all three Ohio High School Athletic Association divisions get down to business Thursday, March 2, at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in Columbus. Championship matches in all three wrestling divisions will start Saturday, March 4, at approximately 5:30p.m.

COWMBU'S- lakota West's Ryan Fields' bid for a state title came up short for the second consecutive year during the state wrestling tournament at Ohio State University on Saturday.

Fields, a sophomore, was pinned by lakewood St. Edward's Collin Palmer in the Division I final at l12.

"I got whooped," Fields said.

"We're buddies. Collin is real good. I thought I was going to beat him, but I came up short."

Fields placed second at 103last season.

Fields fell behind early 5-0 and trailed 7-0 in the second before being pinned in 3:08.

Palmer, a freshman, finished the season 40-1.

"1bat's a pretty good freshman; we knew coming in that he was the guy to beat," lakota West coach Scott Fetzer said of Palmer.

'That didn't make any difference.

Ryan was still bound and deter-· mined to go out and win a state title. The plus comes out ofit- he's a sophomore and two-time state runner-up. He's pretty tough."

Elder's Sean Jameson's bid for a title ended prematurely at 215.

Wadsworth's Dave Crowley (45-7) beatJameson (41-2) by default. The match was stopped because of an injury to Jameson's elbow.

Jameson finished eighth at 215 last s~ason.

Bo Touris, Fields' teammate, bounced back from a disappointing semifinal loss to finish third at 103.

Moeller wrestlers meet their match at state

By Chris .Yeager Community Press Contributor

COLUMBUS -like it or not, the Moeller wrestlers' performance at last weekend's state meet had local colleagues shaking their heads a bit Against very high expectations, and coming off the area's most demanding schedule, the Crusaders failed again to get a wrestler into the championship finals.

Germane Lindsey was Moeller's highest placer, taking third at 135 pounds - a place he had to earn from the front end of the consolation bracket ''I'm proud of the way Germane and Tommy battled back," said Jeff Gaier, Moeller's head coach. Lindsey lost in the first round, which meant he needed to put together a five-match win streak to finish third.

Tommy Wein.kam won his first round match, then got bumped into the consolation bracket with a second-round loss. He won two of his next three matches to take fourth at 140 pounds.

After that, Crusader wrestlers settled for seventh and eighth-place finishes. After taking fourth last year, both Alex Weaver (103) and Dean Gaier (160) ended in seventh place, as did Eric Cameron (eighth in 2005 at 171) and heavyweight Frank Becker.

Cebastian Hilton and Mike Mahon, the latter considered a strong finalist candidate, placed eighth, at 145 and 152 pounds respectively.

"The last two weeks, I've been disappointed with how we've wrestled," Weinkam admitted of the team's recent performance. "We should have had more guys in the finals."

Dean Gaier, the head coach's son and a fourth-place 2005 finisher, thought, perhaps, the second round of competition took some steam out of the Moeller wrestlers.

"We had a terrible quarterfinals," Gaier said frankly. "We lost a lot of close matches."

Hilton was technically pinned 15-0 in his quarterfinal bout against Sean Nemec of Lakewood St Edward. Nemec went on to win the 145-pound class.

Both Gaier and Cameron lost double overtime quarterfinal matches. Wein.kam lost a !-point J

decision. Mahon came up two points short in that round.

"We wrestle the schedule we do to win those close matches here," Jeff Gaier pointed out "Obviously, ·we're a little disappointed."

As a team, the Crusaders finished third, one spot better than their 2005 effort They equaled their 2005 total of 71.5 points. And the eight total placers (out of nine qualifiers) is a team record Expectations were very high for this squad, many of whom had qualified for Columbus competition last year. The team started strong, finishing sixth at the national-class Iron Man tourney, and taking the Coaches' Oassic and Powerade titles.

"We don't know what happened this year," said Dean Gaier, though he conceded the high expectations placed on the Moeller wrestlers may have beeri a downside factor.

"I thought we prepared well," Jeff Gaier said. 'We won a lot of matches. But we've got to start getting guys into the finals."

Lakewood St Edward, who the Crusader hoped to challenge this .

CHRIS YEAGER/COMMUNITY PRESS CONTRIBUTOR year, ran away with the Division I Moeller's Germane Lindsey placed third In the 135·pound weight class team title. The Eagles - who are to In Division I. · Division I wrestling in Ohio that St xavier is to swimming - earned a tournament record 210 team points, easily besting runner-up Massillon Perry's 87.

Only two Cincinnati-area wrestlers made it into the championship finals - Lakota West's Ryan Fields and Elder's Sean Jameson.

Fields was pinned by Collin Palmer in their 112-poundfinal, Fields' second, consecutive runner-up finish.

Jameson hyper-extended his right elbow with just a minute to go in his match with David Crowley of Wadsworth. Jameson, Elder's first finalist since 1983, had to default out of his 215-pound final.

As for Moeller, barring unforeseen misfortune, they'll have a solid core of state-tourney tested wrestlers to build around for next season.

"Staying focused," is one thing Wein.kam, Mahon, Lindsey and the other returning wrestlers will take as a lesson from the state tournament into the next wrestling season, Dean Gaier noted suburban@communitypress.com CHRIS YEAGER/COMMUNITY PRESS CONTRIBUTOR

Moeller's Tommy Weinkam was fourth at 140 pounds.

DIViSION B NOTEBOOK

Popham in position for payback vs. Ciraky.

By Jeremy McLaughlin THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The sting has lasted more than a year for Mount Vernon senior Travis Popham.

It came after he lost 4-1 to Anthony Ciraky of Westerville · South in the 152-pound Division I final last season.

Popham has a chance tonigh\ to purge that memory from his mind when he faces Ciraky in a 160-pound final in Value City Arena. ''I'm going to go out there and mix it U:p a little bit, put my heart into it and lay it all on the line," Popham said.

Ciraky (49-0) and Popham (39-5) have developed a rivalry the past two seasons, meeting· numerous times in the regular season and postseason, with Ciraky winning them all. They squared off most recently in a sectional final two weeks ago, but this is the match each has been targeting all season.

"All our matches have been the same, always been close," Ciraky said "One takedown usually wins it We both know what each other does. It'll come down to staying in good position!'

match of a sectional final that Barlow won twoweek;s ago.

"He got up on me early in the first period and that was pretty much the downfall," Hartshorn said of the prior match. "It was a tough match · other than that first period."

Barlow, though, expects a different match this time.

'Tve seen him wrestle a little more," Barlow said. "He might have been having a bad day when I wrestled him because he's been doing really good since then, but we'll S•ee."

Lybarger advances

The score sheet showed Mount Vernon junior Michael Lybarger won by default hihis 125-pound semifinal against Josh Steele of Hamilton, and Lybarger didn't like it.

"You don't want people to say you won because of forfeit," he said.

Lybarger (46-2) likely would have-advanced anyway. He had a 12-2lead late in the third period before Steele suf· fered rib injury.

"I didn't want to get caught or lose a match where in' your head you know you should have won," he said. jmclaughlin@dispa1tch.com

Those words make Pooley smile. He wai:rarookie out of Ohio State with Sherbrooke of the 4tnerican Hockey League in 1984-Bq when he and his twin, Paul, also a standoutfor the Buckeyes, helped the Canadians become the playoff champions.

"I always put an emphasis on defense since I was with Sherbrooke and we won the Calder Cup/' he said. "I know the value of it."

Having a first -year goaltender named Patrick Roy didn't hurt. He played one regular-season game for Sherbrooke after ending his junior hockey career, thel1 won 10 of 13 games in the postseason.

Pooley isn't about to compare Serifto Roy, other than their similar situations.

The Petrella family's logical progression is on track.

Father Paul finished third in the state meet, brother Kevin was second, and now Tony has a chanc.e to · complete the climb.

The Hartley senior took a 3-2lead in th,e second period and hung on through a scoreless third period for a victory in a Division III 152-pound semifinal yesterday. .

When the whistle sounded, Petrella jumped up and pumped a fistjoyously.

"I was thinking of how far I've come, from going 7-14 (his freshman year) to the state finals," he said.

Petrella (48-3) will face Sli Bostleman of Tontogany Otsego in the final. In addition to completing his family's quest, Petrella also is shooting to become Hartley's first state champ.

"Tony has put the work in, and he deserves it," Hawks coach Scott Shaw said. ·

Finally competin.g Mike Wilson WfJn't win a state title, but at least he made it this far. The Pleasant senior was ranJked No. 1 in the state In 2004 and 2005 but missed both tournaments.

'I'w"o years ago, he was hurt at districts. Last year, he suffered appendicitis and had surgery two d11ys before the state meet.

"I wanted to be. a state champ my whole ·life," Wilson said. "It was just really heartbreaking," Therefore, the fact that he has clinched a top-six finish in the Division III 119-pound class is satisfying.

Pleasant had tv\'O wrestlers lose in the semis, Matt ReYliolds (112) and Steve Wilson (145), but has three placers and is 1Oth overall.

Canal scores again Last year, Seth Morton became Canal Winchester's first state placer, finishing fourth in Division II at 112 pounds. He 111ad«; jt tq__the lJ~.Ji!lmifinals y~~!erday_ _ ___ _ · before lo.sing, meaning he can finish anywhere froni third to sixth today.

Morton had a tough draw, losing to the state's topranked wrestler, Aaron Hart of St. Paris Graham, 10-4.

"He just outdid me," Morton said. "I was waiting for , him to make a mistake, and he didn't make a mistake."

Loose ends Zach Nelson of Madison Plains remained tmdefeated at 45-0 and will wrestle for the Division III 130. pound title today.... Colin Heasley became the first state placer for Worthington Christian. He can finish between third and sixth in Division III at 145 ... : DeSales does not have anyone in the DiVision II finals.

Three Stallions will place: John Hiles (275), Jacob Vaughan (112) and Kyle Meyer (215). , kgordon@dispatch.com

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH'

When he· came to the state wrestling tournament back in Ws preteens, Trevor Dare yearned to be down on the mats with Ws idols when he got to high school.

"I'd walk around and see a wrestler and be like, 'Whoa, that's a s1;ate qualifier,' " the Hilliard Darby senioF said.

But the years passed with Dare unable to get beyond the district tournament; He had once last chance this season and was . determined not to let it slip away. He wrestled with passion and desperation to place fourth at the district tournament · last weekend and qualify for the· state.

It is a feeling shared by several seniors who are competing at the state tournament for the.first time. This is their one 'chance to shine, and their last.

Dare made the most of Ws opportunity.

He pulled off a big upset in the Division I · first round when he defeated Neil Birt of Lakewood St. Edward 5-2 at 119 pounds.

Birt had. pinned Dare in the first period'at the Medina Invitational in December.

"He was one of the top seeds and so I was kind of expected to lose," Dare said.

"I thought I've got absolutely nothing to lose, so go for it." .

Nick Mernedakis had the same mentality. The Pickerington Central senior had never qualified for the state tournament and a varietY of injuries early in the season seemed primed to prevent it again.

The 215-pounder could have giv:en ~p · and prepared tci .play football foiYoungstown State next season, but he finished second in the .district last weekend ·and won his first-round matchagainst Zach Stolarksy of $olon 7-5 yesterday. · "I've wrestled all my life and this is J:he biggest accomplishment you can have," he said. "I knew that if I was goihgto.give it my all, now was the timeto do it.

"If I want to be a state champion, I'm going to have to wrestle with all I've got."

David ¥urray of Grandview has -wrestled for-the past five years and nearly saw Ws state tournament debut end on the· first day. Trailing early; he reboundedto pin Derrick Hill of McComb in 4 minutes, 48 seconds in a consolation match to . wrestle against today. · "I've worked really hard and it woUld be a bunuoer to work that hard and not have it pay off," Murray said. "I was really focused on my one mat arid seeing-how I . could do."· . The atmosphere of wrestlirig in front ·of .a big crowd fazed none of those wrestlers.

It revved Mernedakis even more.

"It's a rush and exhilarating seeing all those people;" Mernedakis said.

Now that they've gotten here, these seniors are no rush to see their seasons end.

"It's all or nothing now," Dare. said.

"There's no next year." · jmclaU:ghlin@dispatch.com ·.

_Solid foundations make. dynasties hard to beat ·By Rob Oller :THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

: · High~school wrestling fan~ don't' need to buy a program to know which programs. to watch out for at the state tournament.

The drill is the same. Lakewood St. Edward will win Division I. St. Paris Graham will win Division II. Sandusky St. Mary's will win Divl. sion III. During the past four years, those three schools have walked off with state titles, which explains why most fans don't come to Value City Arena to' watch programs, but individuals.

"You don't come to see teams win state titles, unles.s you're from that team," DeSales coach Mark Marinelli said-with a sly smile. Marinelli knows that while upsets · sometimes occur in individual matches, they seldom do ih team competition.

If watching the 1980 U.S. Olyni.pic hockey team shock tl1e Soviets is your cup of tea, then the state tournament might not be for you.

Sorry, but Mount Vernon is not

about to upset St. Edward any time soon.

Why? What makes wrestling so .different from other sports that one school can dominate for a decade, the way St. Edward has in winning 10 consecutive championships? Er, make that 11. It's unofficially offiCia!: the Eagles have landed No. 11 - and No. 22 .overall- before the finals begin Saturday. No surprise there. St. Ed has wrapped up each · of its :10 consecutive titles by Friday night. Talk about party poopers.

And look here, Graham leads in Division II and St. Mary's ih Divisian IH. Surprise, surprise.

Dominating a sport isn't unheard of. Cincinnati Xp.vier cleans up in . boys swimming and diving, fiaving· won eight straight state titl~s· and 15 of the past 17, but there ate far fewer schools with boys . swimrning/diving programs (245) than with wrestling (529).ln football, Cleveland St. Ignatius won fi\re championshlps in a row (1991-95), · but there was always a chance the Wildcats would have a bad ga,me and lose.

Not so in wrestling. The sp<;lft isn't prone to the parity or fluctua, tions that affect sports with similar numbers of participating schools, partly because a school such as St. Edward attracts area wrestlers to its off-season dub, where they be. come comfortable with the system and end up attending tb,e school.

It's also a sport of momentum.

"It's hard in wrestling because . you always have to win one or two crucial matches, and if you don't it can all come apart," Marinelli said.

St. Edward manages to avoid that reverse snowball effect, in part because the Eagles take a me-first approach to the tournament.

"We tell the kids it's an individual sport," St. Edward assistant coach .

John Heffernan said; acl.ding that . the coaching staff usually keeps wrestlers far from the mats until it's their turn to wrestle, to gaard · against negative thoughts should they see a teammate lose.

"We put them into a shell and tell them, :Do your best for yourself,' " Heffernan said.

That's one way. Graham coach

Jeff Jordan takes a different approach. .

"Team is most important and I tell my kids that. Everyone thinks wrestling is an individual sport. I look at it opposite. As an individual, if you do what your team needs then it will help the team and you,(' Jordan-said..

What St. Edward, Graham and St: Mary's have in common is tradition, which earns points before their wrestlers set foot on the mat.

"St. Ed is a classic example of building a foundation," Jordan said. "When you wrestle against the green and gold, it puts concern in you. There's a lot of respect there, and maybe fear."

As Marinelli put it, "I think most Division I teams have just given up."

St. Edward, a parochial school, · and Graham, public, also have open enrollment working for them.

"It's true that we get guys from all over. We have an advantage that way," Heffernan said. "But we also have a good youth program." roller@dispatch:com

ln the last match ofthe night for Reynoldsburg, Brooks Keefer knew he had to come up big.

The senior had lost his . first-roundmatch and his team · was counting on him to be a big scorer. He needed to win to give th\l Raiders a boost heading into . tozlay. He also needed to prove something to himself. . "'This state tournament has a lot on the line, as far as pride goes, as far as proving to mys·elf that I can hang and that I can go. and reach the second day," Ke;efer said. "That gave me m~tivation :to provide something to my team."

J.Keefer came·through, getting a JJ 0-2 victory over Mustafa Ehataway of Toledo Whitmer in a 18.9-pound Division I consolation se,·mifinal yesterday. lt vaulted Reynoldsburg into a ti<1 for sixth place. The Raiders h:we 11 points and five of their ei~ht wrestlers remain in the to·;unamenL Lakewood St. EC:iward leads with 37 points. ' Mount Vernon also has five still W'i·estling and is tied for sixth. It h~;d four wrestlers win openingrcrund matches and a fifth won a cQ:nsolation semifinal. ' "You always hope for five out of fiv:-e (in the first round), but it was a pretty good first night,'.' coach · John Brown said.

Although Mount Vernon had a relatively comfortable experience, Reynoldsburg had an up-and.down day. Mazin Shalash's opening match at 152 pounds was part .. of that. . Shalash, who finished eighth at state last seasqn, thought he had a win in his first-round·match against Josh Kassil of Westlake in ---the-ba~Ha-tlie-wa.:J:ing~'--~-~-----·· . seconds, Shalash was whistled for · stalling,and forced to go to . · overtime.

"I was kind of mad because I was three seconds away frorrt ending the match," he said. "But you got to get your head back in the game and take theni down andwin." · Shalash regained hls. composure and got a tl!kedown ih ov-ertime to win 5-3. · - Rough day for Jabbie · Westerville South senior Manju Jabbie was viewed a possible favorite at 215·pounds btlt was eliminated from the . tournament. He lost ro Kyle Gantz of Warren Howland 10-6 in his .openi.llg match, then fell to Jorge Perez of Fremont-Ross 5-4. Gantz was a state runner-up last year in Division II. ,

Pickerington Central coach ' Nick Burgess said he hasn't decided whether he will return for a 33rd season.

"They don't give me any leeway. They push me harder than a lot of kids, and at times it gets frustrating. But I really respect .that out of them, because they know what I need to do more than me sometimes."

He said he doesn't think there are any wrestling moves he can't perform. His coach, Josh Riedy, said he has worked witl1 him to accentuate his strengths and figure out what moves work best from what side.

Riedy also appreciates the effect Gonzales has had on his teammates.

"The other guys, attimes they might want to make up an excuse, 'fie was stronger than me,' or, 'He was quicker,' "· Riedy said. "And Tony makes it difficult for them to make up an excuse."

Tony has been accepted to Heidelberg College, where he hopes to wrestle and study to -become a speech pathologist.

"At Cleveland State this past summer, there was one autistic boy at the summer . wrestling camp,'' Chris recalled. "Kids· · were making fun of him, and Tony went over and took that kid under his wing and worked with him."

A state berth was right there for Tyler Crispin last week, but he didn't take it. It felt too much like charity.

So he earned it instead.

The West Jefferson junior had just been slammed to the mat in his 125-pound Division III district consolation match in Steubenville. The official ruled the slam illegal and gave Crispin the chance to win by default.

Crispin, wincing in pain from bruised ribs, chose to continue, even though he was losing 7-2.

"I decided I wanted to finish the match and win straight up and go to state like that," he said.

That's just what he did, rebounding to win 9-8 for a fourth-place finish. · Yesterdayt Crispin stayed alive at the state meet ·with a victory in the consolation round after losing a firstround match.

Five of the six Roughriders qualifiers won their firstround matches, so all sbl: remain in the hunt.

Surprise qualifier Marcus Nakama of Big Walnut was just about to stuff a few cheeseburgers in his mouth yesterday when he found out he was in the state tournament.

Nakama was an alternate in Division II at 125 pounds. He hates cutting weight and was relishing his impending meal when he got the word he was in.

"I was shocked, I was actually planning on eating most of the day," Nakama said.-"I usually go on binges every weekend."

He made th~ most of his opportunity, winning hls first-round match 6-4.

Stallions hanging in The young De Sales team has six of its eight qualifiers still alive but just two in the Division II championship round.

Kyle Meyer won at 215 and John Hiles at 27.5. Jacob Vaughn (112), Chris Canty (119), Tom Brown (135) and Evan Lovell (145) all lost, then won consolation matches.
