GM Wrestlers
Win District 10 AAA Team Duals!!!
The
General McLane wrestlers soundly defeated Cathedral Prep, 51-13
in the semi final round and then knocked off top seed McDowell,
34-26. The win over McDowell was anything but easy. McLane trailed
nearly the entire match. But Manley Lupher came out at 119 lbs.
with a big momentum changing win.
But
first, the semi finals. The match between GM and Prep started
at 145 lbs. Dale Sanders got things off to a great start
by upsetting Randall Wagner. Wagner got the initial takedown
but Dale shut him down after that. Sanders tied it at 2 with
a reversal, then in the second stanza he escaped, hit a single
and then switched to a double leg at the edge of the mat to
take a 5-2 lead. In the third period, Dale used a front headlock
and spin behind for a takedown and was awarded two stalling
points. He cruised to a 9-2 decision.
Prep
got a fall at 152 and took a 6-3 lead, but Lou Decker
got it right back by pinning Carnell Muhammed at 160. Prep forfeited
the next two weight classes to Clay Steadman and Ben
Rucker. That put the Lancers on top by a 21-6 count. At
215 lbs. Kyle Goss scored 4 takedowns on Caleb Wesman
in the first period. On the fourth takedown, Goss tied up Wesman
in a front headlock, underhooked him and took the Rambler to
his back for the fall.
At
heavyweight, Shawn McFadden used a penalty point and
a reversal for a 3-0 win. That made it, GM 30 Prep 6. Prep won
a 6-0 decision at 103, but Cyrus Parlin got McLane back
on track at 112. Cyrus gave up an initial takedown, but then
escaped. He worked a front headlock for 2 point takedown and
took a 3-2 lead. Parlin escaped again with 35 seconds remaining
in the second period to build a 4-2 lead, then used a couple
of turks and a tilt for back points. He ended up on the winning
side of a 14-2 major decision. Prep scored their last points
of the meet with a major decision at 119.
Eric
Zelina scored a takedown on a shrug with 12 seconds left
in the first period of the 125 lbs. bout with Steve Zoni. Zelina
held on to win an exciting, but low scoring bout 2-0. Brandon
Saraceno majored Anthony Blasczcjck at 130 and Donald
Osinski beat Nick Milano, 7-1. to make it, 45-13 McLane.
Hadley Harrison anchored the match at 140 and pinned Sean Obringer
in 41 seconds. Final score McLane-51 Prep-13. While
the Lancers were on their way to the D10 finals, McDowell was
busy beating Conneaut Lake, 35-28 in the other semi final matchup.
The
McDowell and General McLane rematch was expected to be a tight
contest and it was. The match started at 152 where Brian
Clark dropped a 7-6 decision to third ranked (D10), Chris
Frits. Lou Decker nearly upset state ranked, Nathan Kucnick
at 160. Decker got the first takedown and took a 2-0 lead into
the second period, but was unable to escape. Kucnick chose the
bottom position in the third and scored a reversal to knot the
score at 2. That sent the bout in to overtime, where Kucnick
pulled it out with a takedown. That made it 6-0, McDowell.
Clay
Steadman got the Lancers on the scoreboard with a solid
5-0 decision over Terry Sedney at 171. That's when Coach Cook
decided to take a gamble. He sent Ben Rucker out at 189
lbs. to face state ranked, Jeremy Little. The strategy was to
hopefully get out of the 189 pound bout without giving up bonus
points and then send Kyle Goss out at 215 to go for a pin. Rucker
wrestled a smart match. Little could only muster enough scoring
for a three point decision. Then Kyle Goss came out and
made Coach Cook's gamble pay off. Goss brought John Anthony
to the mat with a front headlock, then used an underhook to
take the Trojan to his back for the fall in 36 seconds. That
tied the score at 9.
McDowell
went back out in front, 21-9 on three consecutive wins, a decision
at 275 lbs., a tech fall by Steve Mancuso at 103, and a major
by Kenny Hammer at 112. The Lancers needed something big to
happen at that point if they were going to stay in the match
and Manley Lupher made it happen. He brought the cheering
McLane fans to their feet when he took down and then decked
the fourth ranked 119 pounder in the District, Dave Engel in
a double grapevine at the 1:17 mark. Lupher pulled his team
to within 6 points of the Trojans and McLane's big guns were
still to come.
Eric
Zelina used three takedowns to cruise to a 10-1 major decision
over Lewis-Jones at 125. That made the score, McDowell 21, McLane-19.
Brandon
Saraceno used a first period takedown and cradle to take
a big lead at 130 lbs. He reversed Matt McCullough in the second
period and was ahead, 11-2 when he gave the Lancer team their
first lead of the night ( 25-21), by flattening McCullough at
the 2:29 mark.
The
Trojans got the lead back with an unexpected pin by James Zuendel
at 135 lbs. The pin turned out to be worth only 5 points however,
because Zeundal threw his headgear at the end of the bout and
McDowell was penalized 1 team point. McDowell held a 26-25 lead
at that point, but GM's big guns were coming up.
Donald
Osinski beat a very game Travis Booth, at 140 lbs. Donald
scored the first takedown, then Booth escaped and hit a double
leg takedown to take a 3-2 lead. Osinski scored a reversal to
make it 4-3, then rode out his opponent in the second period.
In the third stanza, Booth was on top with legs in, but Osinski
managed to slip out the back door. He held on for an 8-5 decision.
That put GM back in front front for good, 28-26. Hadley Harrison
scored five first period takedowns on Jon Salmon to take a 10-4
lead. Harrison worked hard for a fall for nearly two full periods
before he was able to deck the Trojan at the 5:50 mark. Final
Score, General McLane-34, McDowell-26.
-------------------------
Notes
From the District 10 AAA Duals:
Manley
Lupher's pin against McDowell was huge. Things were
not looking good after a couple of unexpected losses and the
Lancers on the short end of a 21-9 score. It got the team fired
up again and gave the momentum back to McLane.
Coach
Cook deserves a lot of credit for making a gutsy call. He
sent Rucker out at 189 and Goss at 215. It was a move that could
have backfired, but both wrestlers did their jobs well.
The
GM team recorded 7 more falls last night. That brought
their season total to 152, fourth best in the state according
to PA Sports Beat.
Hadley
Harrison scored his 114th and 115th career wins last night.
He needs two more wins to become the second winningest wrestler
in General McLane history. Donald Osinski secured career
wins, 108 and 109 last night. He needs to one more win to tie
Hudson Harrison for 6th on the all time list.
Eric
Zelina's four takedowns last night, gave him 144 for his
career. That puts him at #12 on the "Career Takedowns"
list, right behind Frank Myers' 145. Brandon Saraceno
has also made the record books. He is 8th on the "Career
Escapes" list with 65 and 6th for "Career Reversals"
with 54.
Kyle
Goss went 2-0 at the Duals. He became the third McLane wrestler
to reach 30 wins on the season. Both of Kyle's wins were by
fall, giving him 23 on the year. That is the fourth most ever
by a Lancer wrestler, in a single season. Shawn McFadden
and Cyrus Parlin each notched their 20th wins of the
season at the D10 Team Duals.
This
is General McLane's second District 10 Team Duals
title. The Lancers last won it in 2003, under Coach Mulholland
and Assistant Ryan Cook when they beat McDowell and then Cathedral
Prep.

Short Handed Lancer
Wrestling Team
Finishes 3rd at Seneca Valley Tournament
General
McLane, short one wrestler still managed to place a close 3rd,
just behind 11th ranked Indian Valley and Greater Latrobe at
Saturday's Seneca Valley Tournament. The Lancers ended the tournament
with 161 points, just four shy of Greater Latrobe's 165 and
Indian Valley's 192.
Nine
GM wrestlers placed at Seneca Valley. Donald Osinski and
Hadley Harrison both claimed titles. Eric Zelina
and Kyle Goss made the finals and took runnerup honors.
Brandon Saraceno, Lou Decker and Shawn
McFadden claimed 3rd. Keith Scharrer and Cyrus
Parlin both placed 4th.
Donald
Osinski was never seriously challanged in the 135 lbs. class.
He pinned Ambridge's Angelo Aquino in less than a minute in
the quarters and followed with a 7-1 trouncing of Latrobe's
Adam Heydorn in the semis. In the finals, Donald posted a 5-0
shutout over Westmont Hilltop's TJ Polacek.
Hadley
Harrison rumbled through the 140 lbs. weight class. He
pinned Indian Valley's Nick Myers, posted an 18-2 technical
fall over Westmont Hilltop's Drew Golias and won by injury default
in 42 seconds over Seneca Valley's Lee Layton in the finals.
Eric
Zelina dominated his first two opponents at 125 lbs. to
make the finals. He decked Seneca Valley's Steve Danylo in 1:24
in the quarters and posted a 14-2 major decision over Latrobe's
Bill Lechner. In the finals, Zelina ran in to Indian Valley's
Adam Will. Zelina gave Will all he could handle, but ended up
on the short end of a 14-10 barn burner.
Kyle
Goss won an 8-4 decision in the quarter finals of the 189
lbs. weight class over Latrobe's Nick Gigliotti. In the semis,
Kyle was locked in a tight, back and forth battle until he caught
and threw Indian Valley's Skylar Roming to his back and secured
his 21st pin of the season. In the finals, Goss lost to Chartiers
Houston's, state ranked Phil Henderson 6-1.
At
130 lbs. Brandon Saraceno won his quarter finals match
by fall over Freedom's Josh Wine. He lost a heart breaking 1-0
decison to Westmont Hilltop's Kyle Patton in the semis. Brandon
then posted back to back wins, a 17-0 tech fall and a 7-4 decision
in the consi finals to claim 3rd place.
Lou
Decker (160 lbs.) took 3rd. He pinned Seneca Valley's Austin
Kanfoush in the quarter finals, then suffered his only loss
in the tournament when he dopped a 6-4 decision to state ranked
Kameron Zitelli of Greater Latrobe in the semis. Decker came
back and pinned his next two opponents to take 3rd.
Heavyweight,
Shawn McFadden won by fall over Freedom's Justin Harmon
just before the final buzzer in the quarter finals. He suffered
his only loss in the tournament to eventual champ, Chris Dempsey
of Ambridge in the semi final round. Shawn came back strong
and posted a 5-0 win over Latrobe's TJ Rosa in the consi semis,
then grabbed 3rd place with a a 3-1 overtime win in the consi
finals.
Keith
Scharrer took 4th place at 103 lbs. He racked up an 11-9
decison over Seneca Valley's Grant Evans in the quaters when
he scored a takedown in overtime. Keith lost in the semis, to
Latrobe's state ranked Nathan Pennesi. He made the consi finals
when he beat Westmont Hilltop's Devin Dorian, 8-4.
Cyrus
Parlin placed 4th in the 112 lbs. weight division. Cyrus
lost his first bout to TJ Keklak (Westmont Hilltop) by a 6-1
score, then beat Seneca Valley's Steve Fiato by fall. Parlin
posted a another solid, 8-3 win over Brian Nicolli in the consi
semis.
Jake
Carter didn't place but did go 3-2 with 2 falls and a major
decision. Manley Lupher contributed 2 wins (1 fall and
1major) and Dale Sanders also added a win to the GM cause.
------------------------
Notes
From Seneca Valley:
The
Lancer Team certainly would have finished 2nd and could
have come close to winning the Seneca Valley Tournament if it
hadn't been for the absence of B. Clark, who was taking S.A.T.'s.
The GM wrestlers held their own against 11th ranked Indian Valley,
winning 3 of 5 head-to-head bouts. They also split 8 head-to-head
bouts with WPIAL Section 1-AAA powerhouse, Greater Latrobe.
Shawn
McFadden should be proud of his valiant effort in the consolation
finals. He was leading his opponent 1-0 late in the bout and
was trying to work a power half, when he was hit with a very
controversial stalling call. That knotted the score at 1-1,
but McFadden pulled it out by giving 100% and scoring a takedown
in overtime. Great job Shawn.
Lou
Decker led the team with 3 falls at the Seneca Valley Tournament.
Decker has 32 career falls and is inching closer to the record
book in the "career falls" category. One of the opponents
Lou pinned Saturday was Grant McCabe, who was ranked 22nd in
the state in AA.
Hadley
Harrison became the first Lancer wrestler to crack the 30
win mark this season. He secured win #30 in the semifinals and
#31 in the finals. Hadley also passed brother Hudson, two-time
state placewinner Greg Leehan and former teammate Branden Stearns
on the career wins list. He is now the third winningest
wrestler in McLane history with 113. Hadley's name also showed
up in W.I.N. Magazine's National High School Rankings.
Harrison is ranked 17th in the nation at 140 lbs. Congratulations.
Brandon
Saraceno just entered the G.M. record books with his 54th
career reversal. That ties him for 6th place all-time with
former standout, Greg Leehan. Brandon also beat 17th ranked
(AAA) Adam Steele of Greensburg-Salem last weekend at the Lewistown
Duals and just missed beating #12 (AA), Kyle Patton of Westmont
Hilltop, when he dropped a 1-0 decision at Seneca Valley..
The
team picked up another 13 falls at Seneca Valley to run
their season total to 145. As of January 29th that is the 4th
highest total reported in the state according to PA Sports Beat.

GM Wrestlers Go
3-1
Place 2nd at the Lewistown Duals
The
General McLane wrestling team throttled Wellsboro, Harrisburg
and WPIAL's Greensburg Salem, but lost to AAA powerhouse Lewistown,
in the finals at Saturday's 1st Annual Lewistown Duals.
In
the opening round, Wellsboro was no match for the Lancers.
GM easily defeated the down state team, 78-3 with the help of
7 forfeits and 6 pins. Joe Zimmerman (119), Eric Zelina
(125), Brandon Saraceno (130), Donald Osinski (135),
Lou Decker (160) and Ben Rucker all pinned their
opponents. Decker scored the fastest fall of that dual, a 19
second stretch job.
In
the second round, the Lancers beat WPIAL's Greensburg Salem
56-18. While the Lancers won 8 of the 12 contested bouts, the
WPIAL team came to wrestle and had the Pride and Poise Boys
in a hole early on. Greensburg Salem took a 12-6 lead as Kenny
Trumbetta (103) and Pete Steele (119) both scored falls over
their Lancer opponents. Eric Zelina and Brandon Saraceno
got the Lancers back to even by winning close decisions and
making the team score 12-12.
That's
when the Lancers took control. Donald Osinski beat a
very game Dan Svec, 5-0, then Hadley followed with an
18-1 technical fall over Mike Reinhart. At 145, Brian Clark
got GM's first fall when he showed Josh Davis the lights in
54 seconds. Dale Sanders followed Clark with a pin over
Justin Rice in 1:01. That gave the Lancers a commanding 32-12
lead.
At
171 lbs. Clay Steadman, back from an early season
injury, was in the GM lineup for the first time this year. Clay
was ready to rumble and ran up a big lead over Mike Barbato
before pinning the Greensburg Salem wrestler at the 3:25 mark.
Kyle Goss notched his 19th fall of the season in 2:51
over Joe Paovncic at 189.
In
the 3rd round GM destroyed Harrisburg, 75-6. Brandon
Saraceno, Donald Osinski, Hadley Harrison,
Dale Sanders, Lou Decker and Kyle Goss all
scored falls for the Lancers. Brandon Saraceno scored the team's
fastest pin, a 43 second flattening of Jeremy Gutshall.
In
the finals, the Lancers finally met their match. Highly
touted Lewistown, with no less than 7 state ranked wrestlers
in their lineup, won 9 of 14 bouts and posted a convincing,
37-21 win over McLane. GM's only wins came at 112, 135, 140,
171 and 215. The match started at 119 and the Lewistown crew
won the first 3 bouts to take a 12-0 lead.
Donald
Osinski got the Lancers on the board when he wrestled the
most exciting bout of the day against state ranked, Cody Johns.
Johns scored the first points on a very questionable call, a
takedown at the edge of the mat. Donald countered with an escape
and a takedown to take a 3-2 lead. Johns escaped in the second
period to tie the bout at 3-3. But Donald turned it on and took
control from that point on. Donald waded into his opponent,
hit a bear hug and took Johns down, to make the score 5-3. In
the final period Osinski escaped, then hit a fireman's carry
and took John straight to his back for the fall at 5:31.
Hadley
Harrison pinned Eric Rhodes at 140 lbs. to knot the team
score at 12. But the Lancers wouldn't win again until Clay
Steadman posted a 10-5 decision at 171. Kyle Goss
got GM's next win, a 4-1 decision over Nick Knable. Goss, who
bumped up to 215 lbs. against Lewistown, took Knable to his
back at one point, but just couldn't hold the bigger man there
for the fall. Cyrus Parlin got the Lancers last win of
the match when he posted a solid 9-3 decision over John Dietz
at 112 lbs.
The
Lancers are now 13-2 on the season.
----------------------
Notes
from Lewistown Duals:
Keith
Scharrer, Brandon Saraceno and Lou Decker
entered the 20 win club on Saturday. They joined teammates,
Osinski, Harrison, Zelina and Goss. All seven McLane wrestlers
have won 20 or more bouts on the season.
Clay
Steadman was back in the lineup after early season injuries
sidelined him. Steadman looked like his old self as he went
4-0 (2 forfeit wins) and easily handled two opponents. If Clay
stays healthy he could very contend for the 171 lbs. distrct
title.
Hadley
Harrison went 4-0 with 2 falls & a tech fall and ran
his season record to 28-1. His last win against Lewistown's
Eric Rhodes was career win 110. That ties him for 5th
place with brother, Hudson on the "career wins" list.
Hadley needs only 7 more wins to move into the #2 spot behind
Hayden.
Donald
Osinski also went 4-0 with 3 falls Saturday. His last win
over Lewistown's Cody Johns moved him ahead of Jake Keene, and
tied him for the #7 spot on the "career wins"
list, with Bill Kirdahy.
Hadley
Harrison and Donald Osinski are also tied
for the number 5 spot on the "career falls"
list. Both have 53. Kyle Goss entered the G.M. record
books for the first time. He has amassed an amazing 20 pins
so far this season. That ties him for the #7 spot for "season
falls" with former 189 pounder, Jamie Keeney.
GM,
as a team have outscored their opponents by an average of 58
to 14 this season. The Lancers also accumulated another
18 falls at the Lewistown Duals and ran their total to 132.
As of 1/21/06, that is 3rd highest pin total reported in
the state.

Donald
Osinski Posts 100th Career Win
As McLane Trounces Corry 49-24
Donald
Osinski posted his 100th win and 50th career pin
Wednesday evening and helped the Lancers beat Corry on the mat
for the first time in 3 years. Osinski accomplished the feat
in front of a large home crowd when he decked Corry's Robby
Rick in 2:12. The GM fans held up "100" signs, and
cheered as Donald's arm was raised by an official for the 100th
time.
The
match started at 215 where Delbert Liller got an upset win by
fall to put Corry out in front, 6-0. Shawn McFadden countered
with a second period pin over Kevin Chelton to tie it up.
Keith
Scharrer used an ankle pick to get the first takedown at
103 and take a 2-0 lead over Darren Snap. He used a series of
throwbys and bar arm combinations to increase his lead to 11-1
after two periods. In the third period, Keith switched on his
opponent for two more points, then locked up a double bar arm
on Snapp for the pin. That put McLane in front for good.
Cyrus
Parlin was awarded a forfeit at 112 lbs. Eric Zelina
got the Lancers next win at 125. Eric was a takedown machine
in the bout as he shot, cut and bar-armed his way to a 13-2
lead. He ended up on the winning end of a 17-9 major. Brandon
Saraceno followed with a win over Jeramie Joy. Saraceno
got his second takedown in the first staza on a snap down and
spin behind. Brandon threw legs in and executed a perfect split
scissors for a fall at the 1:12 mark. That made the score, 28-9
McLane.
Donald
Osinski dropped Robbie Rick to the mat on his back with
a nifty fireman's carry just 20 seconds into their bout. Rick
managed to escape the first period, but not the second. Osinski
escaped and immediately took Rick to his back for the pin. Hadley
Harrison won by forfeit at 145 lbs. That gave McLane an
insurmountable 40-15 lead.
Lou
Decker was the next Lancer to win at 160. He decisioned
Dana Goodwill 9-6, his third win over the Beaver in less than
a week. Corry was penalized a team point when Goodwill threw
his headgear in obvious frustration after the bout. Kyle
Goss got the last McLane win at 189 pounds when he pancaked
Ryan Smith to his back in 29 seconds flat. Final score, GM-49
Corry 24.
Five
Lancer wrestlers pinned their Corry opponents. That brings
the team's pin total to 114 on the season.
---------------
Notes
from the Corry Dual:
Eric
Zelina got his 20th win of the season and joined his teammates,
Kyle Goss, Donald Osinski and Hadley Harrison as 20+ bout winners.
Kyle
Goss leads the team in falls. Kyle's pin of Ryan Smith was
his 18th of the season. Smith by the way, was the top ranked
AAA 171 pounder in the District.
The
entire crowd was concerned about Jake Carter after
he came down on his head on the gymnasium floor during his 171
pound bout. Jake was taken to the ER as a precautionary measure,
but was reported to be OK (other than a sore neck). We are all
thankful for that.
Donald
Osinski earned career win 100. That's especially impressive
since Donald only had 7 wins as a freshman. Had Donald been
able to crack an unbelievably tough 2002-2003 Lancer lineup
fulltime that year, he'd more than likely be challenging the
school record.
Hadley
got career win #106. He is in a position to tie for the #5 spot
for career wins with brother, Hudson with 4 more.
Keith
Scharrer and Brandon Saraceno are wrestling very
well. Both could crack the "20 wins" mark for the
season at next week's Lewistown Duals.

Hadley Harrison
Wins 140 Lbs. Tool City Title and
AAA Outstanding Wrestler Award.
Hadley
Harrison entered this year's Tool City Tournament seeded
third, and for good reason. Last year's AA state runnerup, Aaron
Nestor (Reynolds) and AA 4th placer, Corey Slater (Commodore
Perry) were both in his weight class. But Hadley showed the
prognosticators why championships are decided on the mat and
not on paper. Harrison not only won the 140 lbs. championship
but was named the AAA Outstanding Wrestler to boot!
Hadley
pinned Ridgway's Paul Urmann in the opening round and then decisioned
Greenville's Justin Ferguson, 5-3. The 5-3 score with Ferguson
didn't accurately reflect the tone of the match as Harrison
completely dominated from the opening whistle. Hadley's run
was supposed to end in the semis where he met AA state placewinner
Slater. But Harrison scored 3 takedowns while only giving up
an escape and won handliy, 8-1. In the finals, Hadley met last
year's 140 lbs. Tool City champ, and state finalist, Aaron Nestor.
Harrison wrestled a smart match, opting to stay on his feet
in all three periods. Hadley put on a takedown clinic against
Nestor who couldn't stop his single leg shots. The result was
a convincing 10-4 win for the Lancer.
Donald
Osinski, the other GM finalist also wrestled a tough match
against Mason Stewart, but came out on the short end of a 2-1
decision. Both wrestlers showed great defensive skills and there
was no score until the final moments of the bout. Stewart, last
year's 130 lbs. Tool City champ and AA 5th placer, struck first
scoring a reversal with 11 seconds remaining. Donald nearly
scored a reversal to tie it with 3 ticks on the clock, but Stewart
managed to get to the neutral position as time expired.
Osinski
scored two impressive victories earlier in the tournament. He
knocked off AA state qualifier, Colby Pisani of Rigway, 6-5
in the quarter finals. Donald clawed his way back from a 4-1
deficit to win that bout. He followed that performance with
a 3-1 overtime win over second seeded, state qualifier, Alex
Lauffenburger in the semis. That win was especially sweet since
Lauffenburger defeated Donald last week at the GM Duals.
Lou
Decker and Kyle Goss both took 3rd's. The
only blemish on Decker's record was a 7-0 loss to tourney champ
and AA state 5th placer, Lawrence Beckman of Reynolds. Kyle
Goss also lost only once, to eventual runnerup, Conneaut Lake's
Kory Hubbard. Kyle took the Laker straight to his back at the
25 second mark, but Hubbard was strong enough to power out of
a bad situation and ended up getting the win. Three of Kyle's
four wins in the tournament were pins.
Keith
Scharrer and Brandon Saraceno placed 4th.
Scharrer won three times, one of those wins was a 7-5 decision
over Commodore Perry's Jordan Powell. Saraceno secured an impressive,
3-1 win over Greenville's state ranked, Eric Weaver in the consi
semis. His only losses were to Clearfield's Tom Barger who was
a 5th placer at last year's PIAA AAA championships. It was the
first trip to the Tool City podium for Saraceno and Scharrer.
Eric
Zelina took 5th in one of the tournament's tougher
weight classes. He racked up three wins, one of them was a 5:58
fall over Ridgway's Brock Leitzel. He lost to eventual champ,
state ranked Brandon Stephens of Greenville and dropped a heart
breaking 2-1 double overtime decision to Warren's Dan Pascuzzi
in the consi semis.
Rounding
out the GM placewinners was Brian Clark, who took 6th.
Clark also had three wins, one of them a dominating 14-3 major
decision over Corry's Brandon Eck.
General
McLane finished 4th as a team, behind Dubois, Greenville
and champion Reynolds. The Lancers had a total of eight placewinners,
which equaled the number set by the great 2002-2003 GM team.
--------------
Notes
from Tool City:
This was Hadley Harrison's first Tool City title, although
he is a three time placewinner. Hadley finished 2nd last year
and was 3rd in 2003. Hadley scored his 102nd, 103rd, 104th and
105th career wins over the weekend. Hadley's 105th win
moved him past Bill Kirdahy for 6th place on the "Career
Wins" list.
Don
Osinski also placed at T.C. for the third time. He finished
2nd last year and was 3rd in 2004. Donald picked up his 99th
career win against Alex Lauffenburger in the semi finals.
Kyle
Goss took over the lead from Hadley for "Most Falls"
this season. Kyle now has 17 to Harrison's 16.
Three
McLane wrestlers went over the 20 win mark for the season,
over the weekend. Hadley Harrison (23), Donald Osinski
(21) and Kyle Goss (21).
The
GM wrestling team has accumulated a total of 109 pins
already this season. They are on a pace to esclipse last year's
158, which placed them 13th in the state. The most team falls
ever scored by a GM team in recent history was 190, by the 2002-2003
Lancer District 10 champs.
