LANCERS WIN FRED BELL TOURNAMENT TITLE

The McLane wrestling team clinched their first Fred Bell Tournament title since 2016 this past weekend in Grove City. But Penns Valley made the Lancers fight for the crown. The two teams traded leads throughout the weekend with the Lancers finally coming out on top in the last round by a mere 5 1/2 points. The Lancers did not crown an individual champion, but they did end up winning more medals than any other team. Eight GM wrestlers brought home medals - Christian Gillette - 8th, Chance Kimmy - 7th, Hudson Spires - 6th, Clay Kimmy - 5th, Peter Sadchikov - 4th, Derek Dube - 3rd, Magnus Lloyd - 2nd and Ryan Dedrick - 2nd.

Magnus Lloyd steamrolled his way into the Bell finals, racking up three pins and a major decision. His only loss came at the hands of top seed, Tavio Hoose of Southwestern, last year's NY state champ at 172 lbs. Hoose, a sophomore, came into the tournament with a 40-1 record, but he had his hands full with Lloyd in the finals. Neither wrestler was able to muster a takedown. The two battled to a 1-1 stalemate through the first 6 minutes and the first overtime. Hoose finally prevailed by a 2-1 score when he was able to escape near the end of the second tie breaker period. Ryan Dedrick also had little trouble making his way into the finals. He pinned his first two opponents and scored a technical fall in the quarterfinals - then bested state ranked (19-AAA), Ty Tidball, 5-1 in the semis. Dedrick finally met his match in the finals against top seed, undefeated Brenan Morgan of Central Valley. Morgan, an AA state runner up last year, won by fall.

Derek Dube might have been the biggest surprise of the weekend with his 3rd place finish. Dube entered the tournament with a modest, 12-8 record and was seeded 12th. Apparently Derek didn't take his low seeding too seriously. He proceeded to post a 5-1 record and knock off the #7, 9, 4 and 5 seeds on his way to the bronze medal. His only loss came at the hands of state ranked, (11-AA) Reece Bechakas of Kane in the quarterfinal round. Bechakas went on to win the 160 lbs. title. Peter Sadchikov, who was seeded 11th also turned a few heads with a 4th place finish at 145 lbs. He won his first four bouts, three by fall, including an upset of the #4 seed, to make the semifinal round. He finally fell at the hands of 5th seed, Brody Beck of Cambridge Springs. Peter bounced back, scoring a major decision over the #9 seed in the consi semis before falling to #3 seed, Ryder Say of Meadville in the consolation final, by a score of 2-0.

Clay Kimmy took 5th place at 133 lbs. Kimmy was the #6 seed and went 5-2. He had a couple of pins to his credit, including one against the #4 seed, Carmine Calimeri of Southwestern, NY in the 5th place bout. Hudson Spires, who has been battling injuries as of late, took 6th place at 160. All three of Hudson's victories were by fall! Chance Kimmy, seeded #6, went 5-2 and snagged 7th place at 152 lbs. He pinned his first three opponents before suffering a heart breaking, 5-3 loss to #3 seed, state ranked (10 AA) Caullin Summers of Sharpsville in the quarterfinals. Chance bounced back with pin over Harborcreek's Nick Fisher in the blood round. Kimmy suffered a second loss in the consi quarters, but won by default in the 7th place match. Rounding out the GM place winners was Christian Gillette at 145 lbs. Gillette came into the tournament unseeded but won three matches when it counted to clear himself a spot on the podium.

Several other GM wrestlers who didn't medal also wrestled very well this weekend. At 121 lbs., unseeded, Josh Caro went 4-2 and won some tough matches, including a 5-3 overtiime victory over the #9 seed. He barely missed placing when he lost by decision in the blood round. #10 seed, Lukas Kuffer also bowed out in the blood round after winning three times, twice by fall. Landon Harnett went 3-2 before exiting the tournament. All three of Landon's wins were pins! Ben Watkins who was unseeded went 4-2 with three pins at 172 lbs., including a 9-4 win over the #11 seed. He also just missed placing when he lost to the #4 seed in the blood round. 285 pounder, Dan Topel won 3 matches, all by fall. It was a surprisingly good performance for the junior who has seen limited action this year. Ethan Snyder went 2-2 with two pins. Both of his losses were close ones to the #6 and #8 seeds. Freshman, Logan Hayes, who was wrestling in just his second varsity tournament also went 2-2 with two falls. Logan's defeats came at the hands of the #4 and #7 seeds. Luke Gray and Matt Caro each had a win by fall in the tournament.

The Lancers will be back in action on February 2nd in the District 10 AA Team Duals. GM is the #4 seed and will take on the winner of the #5 Greenville vs. #12 North East match. If the Lancers win that match they will most likely face #1 seed Reynolds in the semifinals. Last year GM knocked off North East, 51-17 in a D10 Duals wrestle-in match, then beat Greenville 40-28 in the QF, before losing to Fort LeBoeuf, 34-21. Ironically, Fort LeBoeuf lost to Reynolds in the finals, but went on to place 2nd at the PIAA Tournament, while Reynolds went 0-2.

----------------------

Notes:

Magnus Lloyd now has 113 career wins. That ties former GM wrestler, Eric Zelina for 14th place on the all-time wins list. He also leads the team with 30 wins this season. Chance Kimmy is getting close to the century mark, he now has 98 career wins. With his four pins at the tornament, Chance has 21 pins this season and 60 in his career. That ties him with former GM standouts, Luke Harrison and Hadley Harrison for 9th place on the all-time pins list. Having watched both Harrisons wrestle for four years, I can say that Chance is in good company!

In a couple of rare occurrences, GM placed two wrestlers in the same weight class, not once but twice. Peter Sadchikov and Chris Gillette took 4th and 8th place, respectively at 145 lbs. Then Derek Dube placed 3rd and Hudson Spires 6th at 160 lbs.

To illustrate how well the team wrestled this weekend, they combined for 58 individual wins - 39 of those were pins!

This was the fourth time the Lancers have won a Fred Bell team title. They won back to back titles in 2015 and 2016 and also won the crown in 2012. GM finished 2nd in 2011 and 2017. They also have a couple of 3rd place finishes in 2014 and 2018.

GM ROUTS GIRARD ON SENIOR NIGHT

The McLane wrestling team concluded the regular dual meet season with a lopsided, 63-9 victory over Region 4 opponent Girard on Wednesday at home. They couldn't have asked for a better regular season finale. Not only was there a large crowd on hand for Senior Night, but all five won their bouts!

Seniors, Chance Kimmy, Ben Watkins, Magnus Lloyd and Ryan Dedrick all racked up pins for the Lancers and Christian Gillette added a dominating, 9-4 decision to make it a perfect night for the seniors! The underclassmen did their part in support of the one sided victory. Dom Snyder, Josh Caro, Lukas Kuffer and Nick Wiest also pinned their Yellowjacket counterparts. Ethan Snyder tacked on a win by forfeit. Chance Kimmy had the fastest pin of the night, decking his opponent in just 25 seconds! Of the 13 bouts, GM came out on top in 11 of them.

The Lancers conclude the regular season with an overall record of 9-3. They went 4-1 and finished in second place in Region 4. The only blemish on their region record was an 8 point loss to #7 Fort LeBoeuf, that could have gone either way. The Lancers now look towards the post season District 10AA team duals. Hopefully the Lancers can add to their win total and make a trip to Hershey in February. GM will be back in action this coming weekend at the Fred Bell Tournament in Grove City. 38 teams will be competing in this year's event. The team will try to improve on last year's 9th place finish.

Notes:

Magnus Lloyd leads the team with 26 wins this season. He also has 109 career wins. Chance Kimmy has 93 career wins, so the countdown to 100 begins. Sophomore, Clay Kimmy leads the team in takedowns (45), escapes (36), reversals (13) and nearfall 3's (14). Congrats to Nick Wiest on his first varsity win, a pin vs. Girard!

The seeds for the District 10AA Team Duals should be released shortly. Expect the Lancers to be somewhere towards the top of that list. The post season is upon us!

LANCER PLACE 3RD AT BISON DUALS

The McLane wrestling team wrestled very well this weekend, winning four out of five matches at the Clearfield Bison Duals. They beat DuBois, 46-24, Kane, 69-3 and Brockway 61-10, before losing a close one to #19 Montoursville, 32-29 in the semifinals. The Lancers finished with a 35-24 win over #21 Port Allegany in the consolation finals. GM improved their overall dual meet record to 8-3.

Three GM wrestlers had perfect weekends. Magnus Lloyd went 5-0 with 4 pins. Chance Kimmy also went 5-0 and registered 3 pins. Peter Sadchikov also went 5-0 with 3 falls. Josh Caro stepped up this weekend. He posted a 4-0 record with 1 technical fall and a major decision to his credit.

Ryan Dedrick went 4-1 with 2 falls. The only loss Dedrick suffered was to #8 ranked, Cole Yonkin of Montoursville. Clay Kimmy went 4-1 and added 2 pins to his total. Clay's one loss was also to a state ranked opponent. Derek Dube went 3-1 with a couple of pins. Matt Caro stepped into the lineup against Brockway and got another win under his belt. Dom Snyder, Lukas Kuffer and Ben Watkins all went 3-2.

The team will be back in action on Wednesday, January 24th for Senior Night, at home against Girard. It will be the Lancer's last Region 4 dual meet.

-------------------

Notes:

All three of the teams losses this season have been close and at the hands of state ranked teams. They suffered a 6 point loss to #12 Chestnut Ridge in their season opener, an 8 point loss to #7 Fort LeBoeuf and a 3 point loss to Bison Duals champs, #19 Montoursville. The Lancers have also defeated two state ranked teams. They rolled over #15 St. Marys in early January and defeated #21 Port Allegany this weekend in Clearfield. Their 8-3 record has been well earned!

With his 5 wins at the Bison Duals, Magnus Lloyd improved his career win total to 108. He needs two more to tie GM legend, Hudson Harrison for 20th place on the all time wins list! Magnus also leads the team with 25 W's this year. Chance Kimmy and Ryan Dedrick are close behind with 22 each. Chance has also has racked up 16 pins on the season!

The Bison Duals are one of the longest running tournaments the Lancers have competed in. The first year the team competed in the tournament was duruing the 2009-2010 season. They have competed in every Bison Duals since, with the exception of 2018-2019 when the event was canceled due to bad weather and the pandemic shortened 2020-2021 season. During that time, GM won two titles (2014-2015 and 2012-2013). They beat West Branch in the 2013 finals and Montoursville in the 2015 final.

LEBOEUF SNEAKS PAST GM, 28-20

The #7 Fort LeBoeuf Bison came to Edinboro on Wednesday evening and went home with their third consecutive Region 4 title. It was the first Region 4 loss for the Lancers. Last year, LeBoeuf easily beat the banged up Lancers, 43-21, but this year's match was a tight one that could have gone either way.

The match started at 114 lbs. Fort LeBoeuf built a 12-0 lead after the first three bouts. Clay Kimmy finally got McLane on the board when he squeezed out a 3-1 victory in overtime against Jake Bennett at 133 lbs. LeBoeuf won four of the next five bouts, by slim margins, to build their lead to 24-9, but then Lancers tough upper weights rallied to make it a contest. They won the next three bouts, two of them by fall to pull within four points (24-21), with one bout remaining. At 107 lbs., Dom Snyder made it interesting when he took Gage Bell to his back during a first period scramble. Unfortunately, Bell escaped and went on to win the bout, clinching it for LeBoeuf.

Not only was the final score close, so were most of the individual matches. There were only three pins in the contest. Seven of the remaining ten bouts were decided by 3 points or less and two of those went into overtime.

Wednesday's match was the 12th annual 'Takedown Cystic Fibrosis' night. The event has raised nearly $150,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation over the past 12 years. The Lancers will be back in action on Saturday at the Bison Duals in Clearfield.

Notes:

The Lancers lost a couple of close swing matches against LeBoeuf, but there were also some bright spots. Ben Watkins bumped up to 189 lbs. and decked a heavier Aaron Lichtinger. Ryan Dedrick bumped up to 285 lbs. and upset 14th ranked, John Duran, 9-2. Lukas Kuffer, Peter Sadchikov and Derek Dube all wrestled very well, losing by razor thin margins to some tough Bison opponents.

There's a silver lining in the GM loss There is a very good chance the Lancers could get another shot at Fort LeBoeuf in February at the District 10 AA Team Duals. Barring an upset, both teams could very well end up in the finals. Can the Lancers turn the tables on the Bison and make the trip to Hershey?

Magnus Lloyd became the first GM wrestler to reach the 20 win mark this season. His record now stands at 20-3. Lloyd also leads the team in nearfall points, major decisions, technical falls and team points. Chance Kimmy is on a roll when it comes to pins. He has 17 wins this season, 13 of them are pins. There's a good chance he could reach the much desired 20 pin mark before the end of the season. Only 26 McLane wrestlers have ever posted 20 or more falls in a single season.

FIVE LANCERS PLACE AT MID WINTER MAYHEM

Five McLane wrestlers placed at this year's Mid Winter Mayhem Tournament in Indiana, PA. Magnus Lloyd led the charge with a 3rd place finish at 189 lbs. Clay Kimmy, who came into the tournament as the #12 seed, wrestled his way to a 5th place finish at 133 lbs. Ryan Dedrick took 7th at 215. Chance Kimmy (152) and Derek Dube (160) both placed 8th.

Magnus Lloyd went 6-1 with 3 pins, 1 major decision and a technical fall. The only blemish on his record was a loss in the semifinal round to Bald Eagle's two time AA state place winner, Caleb Close. Clay Kimmy went 4-2 and had some big wins. He upset both the #4 and #5 seeds to advance to the semifinals. He dropped into the consolation semis after losing to the #1 seed and last year's state runnerup, Brandt Harer of Montgomery. He lost a tight, 8-4 decision in the consi semis to the #5 seed, but bounced back with another win over the #4 seed to close it out.

Ryan Dedrick (seeded 8th) went 4-2 and rolled to a 7th place finish. Dedrick posted two pins before losing to #1 seed, 6th ranked (AAA), Juliano Marion of Franklin Regional. Ryan made the medal rounds when he beat the #10 seed in a close, 3-1 match. He then lost to the #4 seed, 10th ranked Josh Ryan of Mt Union in the consi quarterfinal round. Dedrick claimed 7th place after a knock down-drag out 5-3 sudden victory decision over 7th seed and 18th ranked, Gavin Hannah of Brookville.

Chance Kimmy (seeded 10th) went 5-3 on his way to an 8th place medal. He won his first two bouts by fall before losing to 7th seed, Devyn Fleeger of Cranberry. Chance then registered three straight victories, including a win by fall over the #8 seed in the blood round. Derek Dube may have been the weekend's most pleasant surprise. He entered the tournament unseeded and lost his first match right out of the gate. Undaunted, he proceeded to rattle off six straight wins to make the medal rounds. Dube even gave 6th ranked, two time state qualifier, Jojo Przbycien of Fort LeBoeuf all he could handle in the 7th place match.

Peter Sadchikov, Hudson Spires and Ben Watkins all went 3-2. Hudson Spires just missed making the medal rounds. He won his first three bouts to make the quarterfinals before losing to state ranked (3rd), Devon Margo of Bishop McCort. He was eliminated when he came out on the short end of a heart breaking, 3-1 overtime decision against #8, Rudy Gentile of Greenville. The Lancers placed 14th of 57 teams. That's a big improvement over last year's 22nd place finish and just three place winners.

The Lancers will be back in action on Wednesday, January 17th against #7 Fort LeBoeuf at home for Takedown Cystic Fibrosis Night. The match will most likely determine who will be the Region 4 champion.

News and Notes:

Magnus Lloyd became the 31st member of GM Wrestling's 100 Win Club with his win in the MWM quarterfinal round. He added two more W's to make it 102. There's no doubt that Magnus will add several more wins to that total before the end of the season! Magnus also leads the team with 19 wins on the season! Chance Kimmy leads the team with 12 pins!

Keep an eye on Peter Sadchikov. He made the lineup and scored his first varsity win against Harborcreek and then won 3 matches (2 pins and a major) at Mid Winter Mayhem and his 2 losses were close ones. Tip of the cap to Derek Dube. It's tough to lose your first match at a tournament and then wrestle the long road back. But he did just that by stringing together six consecutive victories to secure a spot on the podium! Clay Kimmy also wrestled very well this weekend. You might even say he was on fire. He came into the tournament with a modest 7-7 record and was seeded 12th. He posted 3 straight wins, 2 of them over the #5 and #4 seeds and then he beat the #4 seed for a second time in the 5th place match!

Congratulations to Ashley Campbell who made history this weekend. Ashley became the first girl to win a PIAA tournament for GM. She had 3 pins and a 5-1 decision in the finals to claim the 106 lbs. title at the 2024 Mid-Winter Mayhem Tournament!

Congrats to the GM JV wrestlers. They placed 6th as a team at Mid Winter Mayhem! Logan Hayes won the title at 145 lbs. Landon Harnett nabbed the silver medal at 139. Bernie Lourens placed 4th at 133 and Ethan Simko was 4th at 145.

GM ROLLS OVER HUSKIES

The McLane wrestling team rolled over the Huskies on Wednesday evening in Harborcreek by a score of 54-14 . With the win, the Lancers improved their dual meet record to 4-1 overall and 3-0 in Region 4. The Lancers actually trailed the Huskies, 14-12 after the 114 lbs. bout, but they won eight straight to close out the dual.

Magnus Lloyd, Ryan Dedrick, Ethan Snyder, Clay Kimmy, Lukas Kuffer, Chance Kimmy, Hudson Spires and Ben Watkins all had pins for the Lancers. Josh Caro and Peter Sadchikov added decisions.

The Lancers will be back in action this weekend at the very tough, Mid-Winter Mayhem Tournament at IUP. The team placed 22nd of 48 teams last year. Magnus Lloyd placed 4th at 189, Hudson Spires was 7th at 145 and Jessi Stempka took 5th at 172.

Notes:

Congrats to sophomore, Peter Sadchikov on his first varsity victory, a 10-4 decision at 145 lbs. Hudson Spires, Magnus Lloyd and Ryan Dedrick lead the team with 13 wins on the season. Ryan Dedrick leads the team with 23 takedowns! Chance Kimmy and Hudson Spires have recorded the most pins so far this season with 9 each. With his pin last night, Hudson Spires entered the GM record books with 45 career falls - he's now one of the top 25 pinners in GM history. His brother, Wilson Spires holds the record with 76 career pins. Magnus Lloyd is quickly nearing the century mark for career wins. He has 96 and could very well pass 100 this weekend in Indiana, PA.

LANCERS UPSET #14 ST MARYS

The McLane wrestling team, fresh off a strong showing at the Trojan Wars in Chambersburg, knocked off 14th ranked St. Marys last night at McComb Fieldhouse. It took a massive comeback effort and some strategy but they got it done! The Lancers were trailing the talented St. Marys team by a 22-3 count after losing five of the first six bouts. The match started at 114 lbs. and the Dutchmen ran off four straight wins to take a 16-0 lead out of the gate. Lukas Kuffer broke the St. Marys win streak when he eked out a 7-5 decision at 139 lbs. to get the Lancers on the board. The visitors increased their lead to 22-3 when they won by fall at 145 lbs., but it was nearly all GM after that.

Chance Kimmy started the rally at 152 lbs. when he locked up a cradle and decked his opponent at the 3:50 mark. Hudson Spires followed up with a first period pin of his own at 160. St Marys briefly interrupted the rally when they pulled out a decision at 172 lbs.

This was the point where the strategy came in. Coach Cook took a chance and sent out backup, Matt Caro at 189 lbs. The move allowed Lloyd and Dedrick, both state ranked, to each bump up a weight class and keep the rally going. Caro came through in style with a first period pin! That got the Lancers within four points. Magnus Lloyd put the team ahead for the first time (27-25) when he decked Johnathon Bandy in 2:44. Ryan Dedrick ran up a 12-2 lead over heavyweight, Bryson Tucker but wasn't satisfied. With just 49 seconds remaining, Dedrick body locked Tucker, took him to his back and decked him. That clinched it for McLane!

The Lancers are now 3-1 on the season. They will be back in action on Wednesday, January 10th against the Huskies in Harborcreek. They follow that up with another tough tournamnet appearance at Mid Winter Mayhem in Indiana, PA. on January 12th and 13th.
