LLOYD NABS THIRD STRAIGHT DISTRICT 10 TITLE
EIGHT GM WRESTLERS ADVANCE

Magnus Lloyd ran off four straight wins this weekend and won his third consecutive District 10 title. Lloyd dominated the 189 lbs. field until he reached the finals. He pinned his first two opponents and easily dispathed Seneca's state ranked, Ryan Miller, 9-2 in the semifinals. Magnus was tested in the 189 lbs. finale by another state ranked wrestler, Corry's Ethan Allen, who had defeated him, 11-6 in last week's section final. Neither wrestler was able to score in the first period, although Lloyd had to fight his way out of two near takedown attempts. Allen chose bottom in the second period and scored a reversal early on to take a 2-0 lead. Magnus escaped to make it, 2-1. The turning point came with 1:30 to go in the second period when Magnus hit a quick, unexpected duck under and took a 3-2 lead. Allen chose the optional start in the last stanza, which gave Lloyd a 4-2 edge that he was able to maintain until the buzzer sounded.

Wilson Spires also made the finals before falling to Sharon's 9th ranked, Mike Mazurek by a score of 4-2. Neither of them was able to score in the opening period. Mazurek escaped early in the second period to take a 1-0 lead. In the third, Spires hit a nice granby roll and spun behind his opponent to take a brief 2-1 lead. About 45 seconds later, Mazurek escaped to tie it up again. The difference in the match came with just 20 seconds left when Spires almost took Mazurek down at the edge of the mat with a single leg - but Mazurek sprawled and spun behind to seal the win. In all, eight GM wrestlers made the cut and advanced to next week's NW Regional Tournament, which will be held in Sharon. The team finished 3rd with 141 points, just behind Reynolds (146.5) and Fort LeBoeuf (178).

Hudson Spires and Chance Kimmy took 3rd place, Kyle Cousins was 4th, Clay Kimmy and Ryan Dedrick took 5th and Teige Berger was 8th. Chance went 5-1, his lone loss came at the hands of 4th ranked, Collin Hearn of Conneaut. Kimmy lost to Hearn in the quarterfinals and then rattled off three straight wins to make the consi finals. Hudson Spires also suffered just a single defeat in the tournament to state ranked, Cody Hamilton (8th) of Grove City, by a 6-2 count. He bounced back, beating LeBoeuf's Jackson Bowers by fall and scored a 14-2 major decision over Corry's Cody Proper in the third place match. Kyle Cousins also made the consolation finals. He suffered losses to state place winner, Story Buchanan in the semifinal round and then in the consi finals to state ranked, Caullin Summers of Sharpsville. All three of Kyle's wins were pins!

Clay Kimmy went 4-2 with three pins on his way to a 5th place finish. Both of Clay's defeats also came at the hands of state ranked wrestlers, Sebastian Chiesa of Northwestern and Grove City's Hudson Hohman. Ryan Dedrick went 4-2 and also took 5th place in the 215 lbs.weight class. Dedrick was responsible for a fair amount of GM's bonus points. In his four wins he scored 3 major decisions and 1 fall. Rounding out the McLane place winners was Teige Berger, who went 2-3. Berger squeezed out a close, 3-1 win in the opening round and a 9-1 major decision over Corry's Isaiah Bayle the second consolation round.

The team will be back in action this weekend for the Northwest Regional AA Tournament in Sharon. The top four wrestlers in each weight class will advanced to the state championships in Hershey.

News and Notes:

Magnus Lloyd won his third straight district title this weekend and THAT was a rare accomplishment. Only four other McLane wrestlers have pulled off that feat in the past 60 years. Bill Kirdahy (1978-1981), Shawn Trapp (1998-2001), Hayden Harrison (2001-2004) and Jackson Spires (2018-2021). Magnus won AAA titles in 2021 and 2022 in addition to this year's AA crown!

Wilson Spires decked Brian White of Sharpsville in the quarterfinals for his 72nd career fall. That pin tied him with Caleb Baker for the most career pins in GM history! Spires now also has 111 career wins. That tied him with two time state place winner, Greg Leehan for 17th place on the all time list!

Three other Lancer grapplers found their way into the GM record book this weekend. Chance Kimmy went 5-1 and entered the 33+ win club. Over the past 60 years only one wrestler (on average) makes that list per year. Kimmy's record now stands at 35-10. Chance and Ryan Dedrick also both made it into the GM record book with 20 pins each this season. Freshman, Clay Kimmy has 18 pins this year and that places him in the #4 spot for 'Freshman Falls.'

WILSON AND HUDSON SPIRES WIN
SECTION ONE TITLES

Brothers, Hudson and Wilson Spires both won Section One titles this weekend in Meadville. Both wrestlers not only went 3-0 - they pinned their way through the tournament! Magnus Lloyd also made the finals but lost a close one in the 189 pound finale. In all, 11 of 13 McLane wrestlers placed in the top seven and will advance to next weekend's district tournament. Kyle Cousins, Chance Kimmy, Jessi Stempka and Ryan Dedrick all fought their way to 3rd place finishes. Clay Kimmy and Teige Berger took 4th, Derek Dube was 5th, Landon Harnett 6th and Dom Snyder 8th. The team took runnerup honors behind PIAA Team Duals runnerup, Fort LeBoeuf.

Hudson Spires pinned Lloyd Fountain of Northwestern in the quarterfinal round, followed that up by decking LeBoeuf's 25th ranked, Jackson Bowers in the semis and then pinned Titusville's Gavin Donaldson in the 145 pound finals. Wilson Spires also racked up 3 falls in the tourney. He dispatched Bryce Watkins in just 36 seconds in the quarters and made short work of Girard's Zach Baldwin in the finals at the 49 second mark. In the semifinal round, Spires took on John Duran of Fort LeBoeuf. Wilson had a tough time with Duran at the team duals, barely pulling off a last second, 4-2 decision. But in the section finale, he surprisingly finished Duran off with a second period pin. Magnus Lloyd pinned Harborcreek's Sam Kightlinger at 1:02 in the opening round, then made the finals when he shut out Seneca's Ryan Miller, 13-0 in the semis. But in the finals, Lloyd lost a hard fought, 11-6 contest to Corry's Ethan Allen.

Jessi Stempka won 3 of 4 at the tournament with all 3 of those victories coming by way of fall. His only loss in the tourney was to Titusville's 11th ranked, Brock Covell in the semifinal round. Kyle Cousins went 4-1. His lone loss came at the hands of Girard's 5th ranked, Story Buchanan, who went on to win the 152 pound title. Ryan Dedrick went 3-1, suffering a single loss to state ranked, (#2) Danny Church of Fort LeBoeuf in 215 pound the semifinals. Dedrick pulled off a hard fought, 4-3 decision over Corry's Kael Albers in the consolation finals. Rounding out GM's 3rd placers was Chance Kimmy, who also posted a 3-1 record. Kimmy suffered his lone loss by a score of 7-4, at the hands of second placer, Clay Thomas of Union City.

Clay Kimmy and Teige Berger also made the consolation finals and both wrestlers had the misfortune of losing to the same opponent twice. Kimmy lost to state ranked, Sebastian Chiesa of Northwestern in the quarterfinal round and again in the consi final. Berger lost to state ranked Noah Cuic of Fort LeBoeuf in the quarterfinals and in the consolation finals as well. Freshman, Derek Dube advanced to districts after winning 4 of 6 at sections. Dube lost in the quarterfinal round and again in the consolation semis, but bounced back with a win by fall in the 5th place match. Landon Harnett was the other GM wrestler to qualify for districts. Harnett went 2-3 and placed 6th. Dom Snyder took 8th and came up just short of moving on.

The team will be back in action this weekend in Sharon, PA in the District 10 AA Tournament.

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

News and Notes:

Kudos to Freshman, Derek Dube for a great section tournament. Derek didn't find a regular spot in the lineup until mid January and had a 3-6 record at one point. He's looked very good for the past month or so, even in his losses to seasoned wrestlers. He's gradually improved his record to 14-14 overall, with a 4-2 effort this weekend. BTW, Dube's 4 wins were all by fall.

Wilson Spires also looked very good this weekend. He went 3-0 with 3 falls, one of those over a very good Fort LeBoeuf wrestler. He finally made it to the 20 win mark, after sitting out a good part of the early season with injuries. The big story is that his 3 pins this weekend were numbers 69, 70 and 71. Wilson needs just one more pin to tie Caleb Baker for the GM career record! He also has 109 career wins! Kyle Cousins now has 49 falls - good enough for 17th place on the career falls list.

With his 3 wins in Meadville, Chance Kimmy became the first GM wrestler to reach the 30 win mark. Chance has a very respectable 30-9 record! Kyle Cousins has 27 wins and Hudson Spires 26. Ryan Dedrick leads the team with 19 falls this season!

This is the third section tournament for the Lancers in the past five years. They placed 2nd behind Corry in 2020 and won the tournament in 2019. The team had to bump up to AAA for two years and then came back to AA this season. The team had 3rd and 4th place finishes at the 2019 and 2020 District 10 AA tournaments respectively. Hopefully the Lancers will find their way on to the top of the heap this coming weekend.

GM UPSETS GREENVILLE - LOSES TO LEBOEUF
AT DISTRICT 10AA TEAM DUALS

After beating North East, 51-17 in last week's D10 AA Duals first round, the 6th seeded, GM wrestling team pulled off a 40-28 upset over #3 seed, Greenville in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Sharon. McLane won the first six bouts and shot out to a 28-0 lead before the Trojans even got on the board. It was 40-9 after Teige Berger pinned Noah Cristner in the 127 lbs. contest. GM forfeited the last three weight classes to rest their starters for the semifinals. Jessi Stempka, Clay Kimmy and Teige Berger all pinned their Greenville opponents. Magnus Lloyd added a major decision at 189 pounds. Kyle Cousins and Chance Kimmy ground out wins by decision to give GM a 6-0 lead out of the gate.

In the semis, the Lancers ran into a solid, 7th ranked Fort LeBoeuf team. LeBoeuf crushed Sharpsville in the quarters, 57-12. Chance Kimmy opened the match with a close, 4-2 win over Dominic Stearns at 160. The two teams traded wins over the next four bouts and the team score was tied at 9-9, but it was all LeBoeuf after that as they ran off six straight wins. Magnus Lloyd won a 3-2 decision over Ryan Welka at 189 and Wilson Spires scored a come from behind, 4-2 decision over John Duran at heavyweight. Hudson Spires and Kyle Cousins picked up forfeits in the last two weight classes after Fort LeBoeuf had clinched it.

In the finals, Reynolds beat Fort LeBoeuf, 38-28. LeBoeuf will face the District 7-4th place team, Frazier at Fort LeBoeuf on February 6th. Reynolds will take on the District 1-1st place team, Faith Christian in Hershey on February 9th.

The team will now have two weeks to get ready for the Section 1-AA Championships in Meadville on February 17th and 18th. Wrestling will start at 3:45 PM on Friday with the finals set for Saturday after the Parade of Champions at 5:30 PM. Participating teams: Corry, Youngsville, Eisenhower, Union City, Warren, Seneca, General McLane, Fort LeBoeuf, Harborcreek, Girard, Northwestern and North East. The top two finishers in each weight class will advance to districts.

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

News and Notes:

GM's win over Greenville surprised a lot of people. Greenville came into the fray with a 19-2 record and were regarded as the favorite over McLane. The upset of the Trojans ranks up there as one of the sweetest dual meet wins of the year!

The Lancers finished the dual meet season with a very respectable 10-5 record. It's worth noting that all five of those losses came at the hands of state ranked teams (Brookville-8th, Fort LeBoeuf-6th, Montoursville-22nd and Canton-23rd). They also had wins over a couple of very tough teams (Hickory-last years AA Team Duals Champ and Greenville). It's also worth noting that nearly all of the Lancers' wins were accomplished with 2 or 3 starters out of the lineup. This weekend marked the first time since the beginning of the season that the team had all of their starters available.

Chance Kimmy leads the team with 27 wins. Brother, Clay has 23, Hudson Spires and Kyle Cousins also have 23, Ryan Dedrick has 22 and Magnus Lloyd is at 21. Ryan Dedrick is in the 'pins' top spot with 18. With his two victories at the D10 Duals, Wilson Spires has 106 career wins and moved up to a tie for 19th place with Cyrus Parlin on the GM All Time Career Wins list. Wilson also has 68 career pins. Kyle Cousins also made the GM wrestling books. Cousins has 48 career pins - that ties him for 19th place with Chad DeForce, Hudson Harrison and Kyle Goss.

GM KNOCKS OFF GRAPEPICKERS
IN 1ST ROUND OF D10 AA DUALS

The McLane wrestling team knocked off North East at home in the first round of the District 10AA Team Duals, 51-17. It was the first time this season the team has had all 13 starters available and it showed. The Lancers won nine of thirteen bouts, including four straight at the beginning and three in a row at the end. Out of those nine W's, seven were won by fall and one by forfeit. Derek Dube, who's been wrestling very well lately, pulled out a 7-5 win in OT, in the only close bout of the evening. Dube was leading 5-0 but got caught in a headlock late in the match and regulation ended with the score knotted at 5. Rather than let it take the steam out of him, Derek shot in almost immediately and took his opponent to the mat with a nice double leg takedown.

Magnus Lloyd, Wilson Spires, Dom Snyder, Clay Kimmy, Kyle Cousins, Chance Kimmy and Jessi Stempka all secured pins. Ryan Dedrick took a forfeit at 215 for GMs other win. Since the team had a commanding lead, Coach Cook opted to rest Hudson Spires, who suffered a slight injury at last weekend's Fred Bell Tournament. Jessi Stempka and Magnus Lloyd were both back in the lineup and looked like well oiled machines. It was the second time the Lancers beat North East this year. They beat the Grapepickers, 43-27 back in December without Jessi Stempka and Wilson Spires.

The win advanced the sixth seeded Lancers into the quarterfinal round of the team duals. They will face #3 seed, Greenville on Saturday at 9 AM at Sharon High School. Also advancing to the quarterfinal round with wins last night, were #9 Grove City, #5 Corry and #10 Sharpsville. The quarterfianl round looks like this: #1 Reynolds, vs #9 Grove City, #4 Commodore Perry vs #5 Corry, #2 Fort LeBoeuf vs #10 Sharpsville and #3 Greenville vs #6 General McLane.

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

News and Notes:

Chance Kimmy leads the tream with 25 wins and is tied with Ryan Dedrick with 17 pins. Kimmy and Dedrick need three more falls to make the GM Wrestling Record Book! Kyle Cousins leads the pack with 44 takedowns. Freshman, Clay Kimmy has 23 wins, just two behind his brother.

The McLane wrestling team has made a total of 19 appearances in the District 10 Duals since 2001-02. The first two were under Coach Tim Mulholland. The team won their first D10 AAA Duals title under Mulholland in 2002-03. Since Ryan Cook took over as head coach in 2004-05, the team has made 16 appearances in the District 10 Duals, 13 in AAA and 3 in AA. Cook's teams won 3 AAA titles over that span and a 3rd place AA (state qualifying) finish in 2019-20. Cook was also an assistant coach during those first two McLane appearances.

Of the eight teams in the weekend's upcoming duals, four are state ranked. Fort LeBoeuf is 9th, General McLane is 19th, Corry 22nd and Reynolds 23rd. Saturday should be an exciting day with some great wrestling!
