Branden
Stearns Second at AAU Folkstyle Nationals
3 Other GM Wrestlers Medal
Branden
Stearns became just the second General McLane wrestler to make
the finals of the AAU Folkstyle Nationals tournament, Saturday
in Detroit, MI. Stearns earned the runnerup spot, losing only
to Ohio State Champion, Spencer Dye by a score of 10-5. Stearns
won his opening round bout by 15-0 tech fall over Michigan's
Dan Stevenson. His second round match against Ohio's Brett Thomas
was a real nail biter. The two wrestlers exchanged takedowns
and battled to a 4-4 tie. Stearns escaped with 15 seconds remaining
in the bout to pull out a 5-4 win.
Branden
won by fall over Michigan's Matt Sooy in the quarter-finals.
In the semis, Stearns ran into Illinois' Luke Winterhalter,
the 189 lbs. (Elite Division) defending National Champion. Winterhalter
took Stearns down early in the opening period for a 2-0 lead.
He appeared to be in control for most of the first period. But
Branden reversed his opponent with 13 seconds remaining in the
first to tie it at 2. Stearns then rattled off 5 unanswered
points over the next two periods for a convincing 7-2 win. In
the finals, Stearns gave up a first period takedown and found
himself on the short end of a 4-2 score. Branden tried to escape
in the second period, but Dye scored back points with a tilt
to take a commanding 7-2 lead. Stearns tried to rally but Dye
held on for the 10-5 win.
Eric
Zelina put on a top-notch offensive performance Friday and Saturday.
He placed 4th in the 125 lbs. Cadet Division and did it the
hard way. He beat Ron Latimer of Michigan in the opening round.
But then dropped a 12-3 major decision to Michigan's Adam Wilson
in the second round. Zelina then proceeded to rattle off 5 straight
wins (3 by fall), before losing to Ohio's Roshauer Jones in
the consolation finals.
Joel
Stearns and Keith Scharrer both placed 6th by winning their
quater-finals matches. Stearns pinned Michigan's Juan Suarez
in 3:32. Scharrer beat Michigan wrestler, Collin White, 12-9.
Donald
Osinski went 2-2, losing one bout short of the medal rounds.
Donald opened by pinning Michigan's Ryan Pino in 59 seconds.
In the quarters, he ran into Michigan state champ, Jon Gruenberg.
Osinski and Gruenberg battled evenly for a period and a half
when Gruenberg caught Donald in a spladle and pinned him at
the 3:08 mark. Osinski bouncerd back in the consolations with
a pin over Jason Bothwell. He then lost his consy quater-finals
bout to Illinois' Edward Domich.
Kyle
Goss, Dale Sanders, Travis Goss and Louie Decker all went 1-2.
Kyle's win was an 8-2 over decision over Fort LeBoeuf's Denton
Sauers. It was the 3rd meeting between the two this season.
Sauers won the first two.
Fort
LeBoeuf entered 3 wrestlers in the contest, Denton Sauers, Wes
Stull and Randy Smith. Sauers and Stull went 1-2. Smith was
0-2.
News
and Notes:
Branden
Stearns was impressive against three very tough opponents
over the weekend. He beat Brett Thomas, a 3rd placer at the
D-1 Ohio State Championships. He also decisioned the defending
National Champ, Luke Winterhalter, 7-2 (Winterhalter was also
an Illinois state tournament 3rd placer this season). Stearns'
lone loss was to D-3 Ohio State Champion, Spencer Dye.
Donald
Osinski also wrestled well this weekend. He was in a knock
down, drag out with Michigan state champ, Jon Gruenberg for
3:00. Unfortunately, he got caught in a very nicely done spladle
that ended the match.
Eric
Zelina opened up his offense this weekend and it paid off.
He scored at will with a single leg and high crotch that had
most of his opponents on their heels. Zelina's loss in the consy
finals was to Roshwan Jones who placed 7th at the 2005 Ohio
state championships.
The
AAU tournament featured some quality wrestlers this weekend.
Kyle Goss' loss in the first round was to to Illinois
171 lbs. Class A State Champ, Matt Wegner. Lou Decker's
2nd loss was to Tanner Rasmussen, a 7th placer at the South
Dakota state tournament.

Hadley Harrison
Loses One Short of Medal Round In OT
Hadley
Harrison's hope for a state medal disappeared in the final seconds
of his second round consolation bout, Friday afternoon with
Spring Grove's Kelin Bidelspach. Harrison and Bidelspach were
tied at 1-1 at the end of regulation, each wrestler scoring
only an escape. Hadley scored first in the second period. But
then was forced to use 1:50 of injury time nursing a sore shoulder
he landed on while countering a Bidelspach takedown attempt.
Bidelspach
escaped early in the third period to tie it up. Hadley pressured
Bidelspach in the third period making several shots, but couldn't
seem to finish one. The two went into overtime and Harrison
appeared have a takedown on the edge of the mat about one minute
into it. He hit a single and locked up a tight cradle, but the
official didn't award it.
Harrison
attempted another shot that came just short with 20 seconds
remaining. He was backing out when Bidelspach dropped in on
a low single. He had Harrison in a precarious position, but
Hadley held on to Bidelspach's legs as the official signaled
"no control." And then, For some unexplainable reason
the official awarded Bidelspach the takedown with 3 seconds
remaining, even though their position hadn't changed. That call
ended Harrison's hope for a medal and his season.
It
was a disappointing year for D10. Only 3 of 14 District 10 AAA
wrestlers brought home medals.
Prep's Stephan Tighe placed 2nd. Prep's John Heynoski placed
8th and Warren's Bryan Uber was 5th.
A
total of 18 AA wrestlers placed at the state tournament. Pat
Bradshaw was the only D10 Champ. Aaron Nestor and Matt Dunn
of Reynolds were runnerups. Reynolds won the AA State Team Title.
News
and Notes:
Branden
Stearns has one more weekend of high school sanctioned competion.
Stearns will wrestle at the NHSCA Senior Nationals in Cleveland,
OH. on March 30th through April 3rd.
Branden
Stearns, Don Osinski and Hadley Harrison all
made the GM record books for "Season Wins". Stearns
and Osinski have 36 each. Only four other McLane wrestlers have
more. Harrison has 35 on the season. It was Don Osinski's second
entry in that category. He earned 35 wins last season. Donald
has racked up a phenomenal 71 wins over the past two years and
could hit 100 wins by January of 2006. Ditto for Hadley Harrison,
who has 83 career wins.

McLane Wrestlers
Have A Rough Day at PIAA Tournament
General
McLane's three state qualifiers had a tough day at the PIAA
tournament on Thursday. Collectively, the trio of Don Osinski,
Hadley Harrison and Branden Stearns went 1-5. Osinski and Stearns
both went 0-2 and were eliminated from further competition.
All three Lancers lost their preliminary round bouts and only
Harrison managed to bounce back for a win.
Hadley
Harrison lost by fall to Central Bucks West's Pete Ferrara in
the opening round. He came back and knocked off last year's
8th placer, Northampton's Dave Gilio, 6-1 in the first consy
round. However, Harrison's win over Gilio was much closer than
the final score would indicate. The two were tied 1-1 with 20
seconds remaining. It looked like the bout was headed to overtime
when Harrison dropped in, snagged a single leg, locked up a
cradle and took Gilio to his back for the win. Hadley needs
a win in Friday afternoon's session to secure a spot on the
podium.
Branden
Stearns dropped a 5-3 decision to last year's 7th placer, Scott
Hunter of Emmanus in the opening round. The two were tied 0-0
after one period. In the second, Hunter escaped and took Stearns
to the mat with a throwby. Branden escaped to make it 3-1. In
the third period, Hunter attempted single leg takedown. Stearns
switched as they were going to the mat, and nearly tied the
scored. He had Hunter in a crab ride but was high and ended
up being pulled over top. Hunter was awarded the takedown. Stearns
scored one more escape to make the final score, 5-3. Stearns
then lost a 4-1 decision to Owen J Roberts' Tony Fuschino in
the first consolation round.
Donald
Osinski wrestled very well but was a victim of bad luck and
good funk. He lost in the preliminary round to Ephrata's Shane
Hyman 9-3. That sent him to the consolation bracket where he
ran into last year's state runnerup, Josh Oliver of Easton,
who had been upset earlier. Osinski went after Oliver and hit
an outside single, but Oliver scored five points when he hit
Donald with a funk move that flipped him to his back. The two
wrestled evenly for the rest of the bout, but Oliver ended up
winning, 8-3.
It
was a tough day for District 10 in general. Only Prep's Stephan
Tighe and Warren's Ryan Uber advanced to the quater final round.
District 10 wrestlers, Prep's John Heynoski, Oil City's Jacob
Spuck, McDowell's Jeremy Little and Central's Joe Welton all
won their first round consolation bouts and were one win away
from medaling. A total of seven D10 wrestlers went 0-2 and were
eliminated.
AAA
wrestling resumes Friday at 1:30 PM with the quarter finals
and the second round of consolations.

Hadley
Harrison Wins Regional Title
Stearns Takes Runnerup Spot, Osinski Third
Hadley
Harrison continued his winning ways on Saturday and wasn't seriously
challenged until the finals. Hadley waltzed through the semi
final round with a 12-2 major decision over Phillipsburg-Osceola's
DJ Cassler . But the finals bout against DuBois' Zach Lundgren
was anything but a waltz. Harrison scored the first takedown
to take a 2-0 lead, but Lundgren escaped and countered with
a takedown of his own. Regulation ended with the score tied
at 4. The two battled to a stalemate in the first overtime,
but Hadley scored first in the bout which gave him choice in
the rideout period. He chose bottom, came straight to his feet,
cut and escaped about 12 seconds into the rideout for a 5-4
win and his second regional title.
Branden
Stearns scored a solid 6-0 decision over District 9 Champ, Mario
Morelli in the semi finals. In the finals, he faced Holidaysburg's
D6 Champ, Brian Shaw. Branden beat Shaw in last year's regional
final, but Shaw was looking for revenge. Shaw wrestled defensively
on his feet and waited for an opening. He got two and scored
a takedown each time. Stearns just couldn't seem to get an offense
going. Shaw used those two takedowns and an escape to hang on
for a 5-2 win.
Donald
Osinski lost a semi finals bout to Tom Barger by an 6-3 score.
Donald, who was battling a cold or bug all weekend just couldn't
seem to get into his usual "attack" mode. He managed
to get by Franklin's Luke Miller, 2-0 in the consolation semi
final round, but still needed one more win to move on to states.
He got it. Osinski hit an outside single on Bald Eagle's Bryant
Clontz and took the Eagle to the mat for a 2-0 first period
lead. He rode the early momentum to a solid 5-0 win and qualified
for the state tournament for the second straight year.
Ashton
Osterberg saw his high school wrestling career come to an end
in the consolation semis when he dropped a gutsy 4-1 decision
to Prep's Joe McCullough. Osterberg wrestled aggresively and
threw everything he had at McCullough, but couldn't penetrate
the lanky Rambler's defensive style. Eric Zelina was also eliminated
in the consy semis when he lost to Indian Valley's Adam Will.
Zelina made a respetcable showing as a sophomore, going 2-2
in his first trip to regionals.
News
and Notes from Regionals:
Hadley
Harrison became just the 3rd McLane wrestler to win a Regional
Title twice. Greg Leehan did it in '80-81 and '81-82 and
Mike Caro did it in '85-86 and '86-87.
Donald
Osinski, Branden Stearns and Hadley Harrison
all entered the Lancer record books this weekend for "Season
Wins". Osinski and Stearns both have 36 wins and Harrison
34.
Branden
Stearns owns 110 career wins. That ties him with
Hudson Harrison for 4th place on the "Career Wins"
list.
Senior
Co-Captain, Ashton Osterberg put up some amazing numbers
in his two years of varsity wrestling. He had 60 wins (2 consecutive
30 win seasons) against just 16 losses. He racked up 29 falls,
11 major decisions and 4 tech falls. Ashton also set a new
school record for most "3 point near falls."
Congratulations on a great career.

Results-Day One
All
five of McLane's Regional qualifiers were still in the medal
chase after day one of NW Regional AAA Tournament in Altoona.
Don Osinski, Hadley Harrison and Branden Stearns all won their
quarter finals matches and will wrestle in the semi final round.
Don
Osinski had his hands full with Lewistown's Cody Johns. Donald
took Johns to the mat with a quick takedown, but was immediately
reversed. Johns stayed within a single point for five minutes
and the outcome was uncertain until Osinski, who had dominated
on his feet, cut Johns loose and took him down twice in the
final moments for an 11-8 win.
Hadley
Harrison gave up the first takedown to Central Mountain's Blane
Benner, but escaped with 30 seconds left in the opening period.
Hadley nailed Benner with a single leg and snuck in a tight
cradle for the fall at 1:40. Branden Stearns took down Bald
Eagle's Brian Kochik in the first for a 2-0 lead. Kochik escaped
to cut it to 2-1. In the second, the two got into a wild scramble
and Kochik was awarded a takedown. But Stearns reversed him
to his back and took a commanding 7-3 lead. Branden added an
escape and a pair of takedowns in the final stanza for a 12-4
major decision.
Ashton
Osterberg dropped a painful 7-5 overtime decision to Lewistown's
Justin Shafranich in the prelims. Osterberg bounced back in
the first consy round with a 12-5 win over Central Mountain's
Josh Diehl. Eric Zelina posted a 4-0, opening round win over
DuBois' Colin Cilladi. In the quarters, Zelina lost by fall
to Bald Eagle's top seeded Quentin Wright. He bounced back in
the consolation round with a 4-1 win over Perry's Rob Lay.
