Two
McLane Wrestlers Crowned Fred Bell Champs
Two
McLane wrestlers were perfect at this weekend's 29th annual
Fred Bell Tournament in Grove City. Joe Wheeling went
5-0 and won the 106 lbs. weight class. With the exception
of his finals match, Joe completely dominated his weight class.
He won by fall in the pigtail round, posted a 15-0 technicall
fall in the preliminary round, and then put together two major
decisions. It was in the finals that Wheeling had his hands
full with 21st ranked, Shane Jones of Stroudsburg. Jones scored
the first takedown early and then rode Wheeling out for the
remainder of the first period. Joe responded with a takedown
in the second stanza to tie the score and finally pulled off
a 3-2 victory when he escaped with one second remaining in
the third overtime period.
DJ
Myers won his second straight Fred Bell title. He also
did it in dominating fashion. Myers posted a 15-2 major decision
in the pigtail round and then had three straight pins to make
the finals. In the finals, DJ posted 2-1 decision over Keystone's
Tanner Hannold. Myers escaped in the second period and was
clearly the aggressor on his feet for nearly the entire match.
The winning point came for DJ when his opponent was finally
called for stalling.
Tim
Wheeling took 3rd place, losing only to McDowell's Steve
Spearman, the state's top ranked wrestler at 138 lbs. Tim
scored two wins by fall and posted an 18-3 tech fall over
Redbank Valley's Ty Hanes before dropping an 11-6 decision
to Spearman. Wheeling finished the tournament with back to
back major decisions.
Keller
Watkins placed 4th, winning three times, all by technical
fall. Keller made it to the semifinal round before losing,
3-0 to eventual tournament runnerup, Willis Gruver of Redbank
Valley. He bounced back with a win in the consi semis over
Sharpsville's Joe Sofranko. Keller lost a close, 6-4 decision
in the consolation finals to McDowell's Paul Deitz.
Ken
Stoll wrestled a great tournament, placing 5th. He won
by fall in the opening round, then lost to McDowell's Noah
Burkhart. Ken put together back to back wins in the consis
before dropping an 8-6 squeaker to Clarion's Jake Troutman
in the consolation semis. Stoll won by injury default in the
5th/6th place wrestle off.
Chris
Laird rounded out the GM place winners with a 6th place
finish. Chris won his opening round bout, 4-0, then lost in
the quarterfinals. He rebounded with back to back wins to
make the medal rounds.
Parker
McDermott came up just short of placing at Bell, but posted
a winning record. Parker went 3-2 with a major decision and
a fall to help the Lancer cause.
General
Mclane finished 4th as a team behind McDowell, Stroudsburg
and Redbank Valley.
The
Lancers will be back in action on Wednesday, February
1st at McComb Fieldhouse against Cathedral Prep in the opening
round of the District 10 AAA Team Duals. McLane is
the number #2 seed. It will be interesting to see how well
they perform considering all of the injuries that took place
last week. Good luck guys.
News
and Notes:
DJ
Myers leads the team this season with a 29-1 record. Tim
Wheeling is close behind with 25 wins. Tim Wheeling
now has 115 career wins and DJ Myers 114. The two
are nipping at the heels of Parker Middle Scool Coach, Tom
Kirdahy who won 116 matches in his career.
Joe
Wheeling not only got his 20th win of the season in the
Bell finals, he moved in to 8th place on the 'Season Major
Decisions' list. Joe has 7 this year.
Keller
Watkins also passed the the 20 win mark for the season,
finishing the weekend with a total of 21. Keller's freshman
season is shaping up to be a very impressive one.
Chris
Laird has had a successful sophomore campaign. Laird placed
at both the Fred Bell and Tool City tourneys this year and
has racked up 21 wins so far.

Lancers Lose
to McDowell on Senior Night
The
Lancers lost for just the second time this season to a very
talented McDowell wrestling team on Senior Night at General
Mclane High School. GM, minus four starters was only able
to muster three wins against the 4th ranked Trojans.
McLane
took an early lead when DJ Myers won a 4-3, double
overtime decision over Tyree Spearman at 152 lbs. DJ escaped
in the second stanza and held a 1-0 lead. Spearman responded
with a third period escape to tie the score. Then a near disaster
occurred when Spearman caught DJ off balance and briefly took
the Lancer to his back. Spearman held a 3-1 lead at that point.
DJ escaped 15 seconds later to cut the lead to 1. With 50
seconds remaining, Myers went on the offensive and was taking
shot after shot while Spearman kept backing away. After Spearman
was hit with a stalling warning, he backed off the mat again
and was hit with the penalty point. That tied the score at
3. Myers won the bout when he rode out his opponent and then
escaped in the second overtime period.
Chris
Laird also pulled out a close win. Chris came screaming
back from a 5-1 deficit to defeat Anthony Forne, 6-5 at 170
lbs. The only other Lancer win came at 106 lbs. where Joe
Wheeling posted a 17-8 major decision over Benji Yates.
Final score: McDowell-46 General Mclane-10.
The
McLane wrestlers will be back in action this weekend at the
Fred Bell Tournament in Grove City. The Lancer team took 2nd
place at last year's Fred Bell. The Lancers are also the #2
seed for the District 10 AAA Team Duals next Wednesday at
McComb Fieldhouse. They will face Cathedral Prep in the opening
round. If they can beat the Ramblers, that would most likely
set up a rematch against McDowell in the finals. Titusville
is the #4 seed.
News
and Notes:
As
always, Senior Night is a night filled with mixed emotions.
It's nice to see the seniors being recognized for their accomplishments
and to hear of their future plans. But, there's a bit of sadness
with the realization that it's their last time wrestling in
front of a home crowd at General McLane.
Best
of luck to our senior wrestlers: Tim Wheeling, Nate
Ferrick, DJ Myers, Jamie Symanowski and
Ethan Strobel.
Thanks
to the McLane Wrestling Boosters and former Head Coach
Mulholland for recognizing Coach Cook on Senior
Night for his 100 head coaching wins. Click
here to see a video of the presentation.
Jake
Baker suffered a season ending ankle injury at last Saturday's
Bison Duals. Jake was wrestling very well. He posted a 17-6
record and placed at the Tool City and Athens Tournaments.
The team will miss him. We wish Jake a full recovery and can't
wait to see him tear up the mats next year.
Even
though the team score was lopsided, the GM wrestlers should
be commended for their performance. They started 12 points
in the hole due to two forfeits and five of the reamining
bouts were decided by 2 points or less. It was apparent that
both teams came to wrestle.

GM
Wrestlers Take 2nd Place at Bison Duals
The
McLane wrestling team ran it's record to 12-0 and handed
Coach Cook his 100th career head coaching victory before
losing in the finals to powerhouse, Pleasant Valley on Saturday
at the Clearfied Bison Duals. The team finished the Duals
tournament with a 4-1 record.
DJ
Myers had a stellar weekend, going 5-0 with four pins.
Also, unbeaten at the Bison Duals were Tyler Hendricks
(5-0 with 1 pin and a technical fall) and Chris Laird
(5-0 with 2 pins). Joe and Tim Wheeling both
went 4-1. Joe's only loss was to Pleasant Valley's Kenny Yanovich
(ranked 5th in the state). Tim's loss was to Montoursville's
David Batkowski (ranked 4th in the state). Freshman, Nick
Soboleski also went 4-1 with 3 falls.
The
McLane wrestlers will take on a very tough, McDowell squad
on Wednesday, January 25th at home on Senior Night. The Trojans
are currently ranked 4th in the state by PA Power Rankings.
News
and Notes:
Coach
Cook joined Steve Samol and Tim Mulholland
as the only three General McLane head wrestling coaches to
reach the 100 win mark. Coach Samol retired after 10 years
at the end of the 1974-75 season with 100 wins. Coach Mulholland
retired after 12 seasons at the conclusion of the 2003-04
season with 137 wins. It's noteworthy that Coach Cook reached
100 win mark in less than eight years. Congratulations
Coach!
Tim
Wheeling now has 110 career wins. That ties him with Hudson
Harrison for #9 on the all-time list. DJ Myers
is #11 on the list with 108 career wins. Tim Wheeling
and DJ Myers are also both in the Lancer top 10 for
career takedowns.

McLane Wrestlers
Move to 8-0 with Win Over Prep
The
Lancer wrestling team stayed perfect on Tuesday with a 38-23
win over Cathedral Prep in front of a large, boisterous home
crowd. It was McLane's first victory over the Ramblers
since the District 10 AAA Team Duals in February of 2006,
when the Lancers won the title.
GM
took an 18-0 lead right out of the gate when the Ramblers
forfeited 182, 195 and Jake Baker decked Jake Tucilla
at 220 lbs. Prep got on the board with a major decision at
285, but Joe Wheeling added another six for the Lancers
with a 1:24 pin over Chuck Bizzaro at 106. Prep won again
at 113 and 120 lbs. cutting the lead to 24-11 in favor of
the Lancers.
Nate
Ferrick pulled out a wild, 5-3 overtime decision against
Connor Wurst at 126 lbs. Tim Wheeling posted a 12-4
major over Teegan O'Sullivan at 138 and then DJ Myers
sealed the deal with a dominating, 14-4 major decision against
Andy Hutzel at 152. That win gave the Lancers an insurmountable,
35-20 lead with just two bouts to go. Chris Laird posted
the final McLane win of the night with a one sided, 6-0 decison
at 170 lbs.
The
team will be back in action this weekend at the Bison Duals
in Clearfield, PA.
News
and Notes:
The
Lancers and Ramblers could very well meet again in
the District X AAA Team Duals which are slated for
Wednesday, February, 1st at McComb Fieldhouse (5:00 PM).
Jake
Baker has been on fire in January, he sports a 10-2 record
in his last 12 bouts, including a 5th place finish at Tool
City.
Tim
Wheeling just moved into a tie with Cyrus Parlin
for 10th place with career win 106. DJ Myers is not far behind
with 103. Wheeling also moved into the #5 position for career
takedowns with 242.
The
win over Prep tonight was the 96th of Coach Cook's
short head coaching career. With a little luck and some
hard wrestling, he could reach the coveted 100 win mark on
Saturday at the Bison Duals in Clearfield. Cook would be just
the third head coach in McLane wrestling history to reach
the centennial mark, joining Steve Samol (100) and Tim Mulholland
(137).

GM Racks Up
7th Straight Dual Win
The
McLane wrestling team racked up it's 7th straight dual meet
win on Saturday over a very game Titusville squad. The
Lancers won the match 48-12, but the Rockets fought hard,
and were in nearly every bout until the end. Titusville struck
first when D10's top ranked Cody Brunst decisioned Tyler
Hendricks, 5-2 at 160 lbs. Chris Laird, Cody
Lentz and Jake Baker ran off three straight wins
to give the Lancers a 15-3 lead.
The
Rockets bounced back with wins at 220 and 285 to cut the Lancer
lead to 15-12, but those would be Titusville's last wins of
the afternoon. Joe Wheeling made it 18-12 with a 4-1
decision over Calab Chase at 106 lbs. At 113, Keller Watkins
stretched the McLane lead to 24-12 when he decked Austin Cartney.
Ken Stoll and Nate Ferrick added wins by decision
at 132 and 138 and Tim Wheeling picked up his 105th
career win with a forfeit at 138. That made the score
39-12 in favor of the Lancers. Parker McDermott scored
a 15-0 technical fall at 145 and DJ Myers anchored
the McLane effort with an 11-3 major decision at 152.
Cody
Lentz, Jake Baker and Keller Watkins all
posted falls for GM. The McLane wrestlers will be back in
action at home on Tuesday in a key dual meet against Cathedral
Prep.

Seven Lancers
Place at Tool City
Three
McLane wrestlers made this year's Tool City finals, the most
since 2005 when four Lancers did it. In 2005, Branden Stearns
won the 171 title and the GM team had it's best ever showing
with a 2nd place finish. Unfortunately, this year's trio of
finalists all came up short in the championship round and
the Lancers were denied a Tool City champ for the fifth straight
year. Hadley Harrison was the last McLane wrestler
to snag a title at the Meadville tournament in 2006.
Joe
Wheeling, Tim Wheeling and DJ Myers were
the McLane finalists. Joe Wheeling had an opening round
fall, beat Meadville's Aaron Ehrgott in the quarters and then
posted a 15-0 technical fall over Conneaut Lake's Nick Moss.
In the finals, Wheeling just couldn't seem to get his usual
offense going as he dropped a 9-3 decision to 6th ranked freshman,
Korbin Myers of Myers of Boiling Springs.
Tim
Wheeling had an opening round bye. He pinned Warren's
Drew Williams in the quarterfinal round and then racked up
a 7-2 decision over Gabe Stark of Howland, OH. In the finals,
Wheeling lost to McDowell's former state champ, Steve Spearman,
5-2. It was the third time Tim has placed at Tool City. He
took 2nd in 2010 and 3rd in 2009. Tim was nursing an injury
and unable to compete in last year's tournament.
DJ
Myers posted a fall in the preliminary round, claimed
a 4-0 shutout over Howland's Brian Whisler in the quarterfinals
and pulled out a 5-3 decision over Nick Lees of St. Ignatius
for his 100th career win. DJ lost by fall in the finals
to two time state placewinner, Cody Copeland of Greenville.
Myers placed 3rd at last year's Tool City tourney.
Keller
Watkins and Jake Baker placed 5th. Watkins went
3-2 and Baker, 4-2. Rounding out the Mclane placewinners in
6th place were Deane Twitchell and Chris Laird.
New
and Notes:
Congratulations
to DJ Myers for posting his 100th career win. Myers became
just the 19th Lancer wrestler to accomplish the feat. DJ also
leads the team with 15 wins on the season.

Corry Beavers
The
Lancers lost the first bout against cross county rival Corry
on Wednesday evening, but won six of the next seven to take

but then won the last five, three by forfeit. Tim Wheeling
and Nick Soboleski posted falls for the Lancers and

Parker
McDermott ran his record to a stellar, 10-1 with a 5-1
decision over Cody Bailey at 145. Also winning decisions were
