Garner NHSCA All-American Honors
Keith
Scharrer came screaming back from an 0-1 start to post
six straight wins (including a pair of pins) to place
3rd in the High School 103 lbs. division at the 10th
Annual NHSCA National Wrestling Open Championships Wednesday
in Virginia Beach. Scharrer was trailing Massachusetts
D2 state runnerup, Matthew Holubesko, 7-2 at the end of two
periods in his consi finals bout when he was forced to take
a brief injury time out. Keith returned with a vengeance and
tied the score at 9 as time expired. He then dropped in for
the winning takedown in overtime. "It was beautiful watching
him come back after being down by so much." "It
may have been the best match I ever saw him wrestle."
said Coach Cook.
Lou
Decker lost three close bouts Werdnesday to place 6th
in the 171 lbs. High School division. Lou wrestled very well
all three days, according to Coach Cook. His final three bouts
were against top notch competition and went down to the wire.
Lou lost a 9-5 overtime thriller to Maryland state
runnerup, Nathan Bourne in the semifinal round, then dropped
a 7-5 overtime squeaker to PIAA AA 4th placer, Derek Coffey
of Lewisburg, PA. in the consi quarters. Decker's 12-10
overtime loss in the 5th/6th place wrestleoff was to this
year's North Carolina 4A state champion, Austin Trotman.
Seth
Stonis rounded out the Lancer placers by winning his last
bout to secure 7th place in the 152 lbs. Middle School
division. Stonis won by fall in the first round
and pulled off a 5-3 overtime win in his 7th place match.
Donald
Osinski fell into an extremely tough spot in his bracket
and still managed to come up just one bout short of placing.
In the consolation rounds, Donald lost a 7-2 decision to North
Carolina's Steven Branch, who was this year's North Carolina
1A/2A state runnerup. His other loss came a day earlier in
the quarterfinals, at the hands of 4 time Illinois state placer
Aaron Winning (Winning posted 175 wins, 115 by fall in his
high school career).
Eric
Zelina returned from an elbow injury and won two bouts
in the tournament but just missed placing when he lost a 9-7
overtime thriller to Maryland state 3rd placer, Tim Crocken
in the consolation rounds.
This
marks the first year three McLane wrestlers have placed in
the event. Scharrer, Decker and Stonis
join Travis Goss, Donald Osinski and Branden Stearns as NHSCA
All-Americans. Stearns won the event in 2005. The Ragin

the NHSCA State Team Trophy.

Update From
NHSCA Folkstyle Nationals-Day 3
Three
McLane wrestlers secured All-American status at the
10th
Annual NHSCA National Wrestling Open Championships
after day
three of wrestling in Virginia Beach, VA. Lou Decker,
Seth Stonis and Keith Scharrer will all finish
in the top 8 of their respective divisions.
Lou
Decker made the semifinal round and then lost a close
decision to a 3 time Maryland state placewinner. That dropped
him into the consolation semis where he's still guaranteed
a top 6 finish. Lou's record stands at 3-1 in the tournament.
Keith Scharrer came roaring back from an 0-1 start
and posted 3 straight wins to make the consolation quarterfinals.
Seth Stonis (3-1) won 2 straight on Tuesday and also
made the consi quarters. Scharrer and Stonis will finish in
the top 8.
Jake
Carter (1-2), Cyrus Parlin (1-2), Donald Osinski
(3-2), Eric Zelina (2-2) and Shawn McFadden
(0-2) were all eliminated by the conclusion of Tuesday's wrestling.

Notes
from Virginia Beach:
Donald
Osinski wrestled his last match in a General McLane singlet
Tuesday. Osinski's last bout, according to Coach Cook was
vintage "Donald" too, except for the outcome. Donald
was in a real battle, clinging to a precarious 2-0 lead with
just seconds left when he was reversed to his back for a rare
loss. I wish I could have been there to watch you wrestle
your last few matches, Donald. But you have left me with some
unforgettable memories! Best of luck at Pitt!!!

Eight GM Wrestlers
Qualify for NHSCA Folkstyle Nationals
Eight
McLane wrestlers tested their skills at the NHSCA Qualifier
in North East on Saturday and all eight qualified for the
NHSCA national tournament.
Lou
Decker and Donald Osinski won their weight classes.
Decker won the 189 lbs. weight class with three straight pins.
His first win was over Johnathon Burwell of Massena,
N.Y., (Massena is Coach Cook's hometown). Decker also
pinned Cody Bernarding of Cochranton and Corry's Delbert Liller
in the finals. Osinski won the 145 lbs. weight class
with a pair of falls. He decked Colin Refuse of Nardonia and
then flattened Harborcreek's District 10 AA fifth placer,
Sam Kuhn in 31 seconds.
Corey
Goss placed 2nd in the 145 lbs. Middle School division.
He pinned Brockway's Joel Yahner and then lost by 25-8 technical
fall to the Ragin Raisin's Jamal Lyons. Cyrus Parlin
took 3rd place at 119 lbs. He lost by 16-0 tech fall to Greenville's
Coty Burnett, but then came raoaring back with a major decision
and a fall. Seth Stonis also placed 3rd in the 145
lbs. Middle School division. Stonis dropped his opening round
bout, 7-3 to Jamal Lyons, but then scored back to back wins,
a pin over Joel Yahner of Brockway and 12-1 major decision
over Salamanca's Minner.
Jake
Carter went 1-2 for a 4th place finish and Shawn McFadden
went 2-2 to place 4th. Keith Scharrer went 0-2 but
qualified for Nationals because the 103/112 weight classes
were combined. Both of Keith's losses were to 112 pounders,
one a 6-4 overtime loss.
The
10th annual NHSCA National Open Wrestling
Championships will
be held June 25th-28th in Virginia Beach, VA. Eric Zelina
and Clay Steadman will also wrestle in the event via
wildcard entries. Both wrestlers skipped the North East qualifier
due to injuries.
Notes
From North East Qualifier:
It
was a real treat to see Donald Osinski healthy and
back on the mat. Donald looked like his old self except for
the extra 15 lbs. of muscle he was carrying. The extra weight
certainly didn't seem to affect his ability to dominate opponents.
Lou Decker was also up a couple of weight classes to
189 and put on three dominating performances, scoring falls
against three good opponents.
