SPIRES
RUNNERUP - BERGER 8TH AT KOM!
Wilson
Spires won four consecutive matches over quality opponents
to roll into the King Of The Mountain Tournament finals.
He became just the 7th wrestler in GM history to make
the finals of one of PA.'s toughest tournaments. Joe Wheeling
nabbed two titles in 2012 and 2013 and was the only McLane
wrestler to pull that feat off. Runnerups, Hadley Harrison
(2005), Andrew Brest (2017), Owen Watkins (2016), Ethan
Laird (2016) and Jacob Lenhardt (2016) were the other
past KOM finalists for the Lancers.
Spires
knocked off John Wargo of Phillipsburg, NJ, 7-1 in the
opening round and followed up with a 4-1 win over Grant
Lapachinsky of Pottsville. In the quarterfinals, he pulled
off a 7-2 decision over #1 seed, 19th ranked Nicholas
Mahoney of Garnet Valley and then beat Central York's
Ethan Miller, 5-2. Wilson finished as the 285 lbs. runnerup
when he dropped a 6-3 tiebreaker in the finals to 11th
ranked Charles Crew of Williamsport.
GM's
only other placewinner at the tournament was freshman
106 pounder Teige Berger, who finished 8th at 106. Berger
won three of his first four bouts (2 by fall) to make
the medal rounds. His loss in the quarterfinal round was
to 3rd ranked Connor Smith of Seneca Valley. Berger lost
his final two matches, one to another state ranked wrestler,
but it was good enough to vault him on to the medal stand.
Jessi
Stempka went 3-2 and just missed making the medal stand.
He won his opening round match but then fell to state
ranked, Juliano Marion of Franklin Regional. Stempka then
put together a pair of wins, including a fall over state
ranked, Tyler Lynch of Greater Latrobe. Jessi exited the
tourney with a close, 3-1 loss to 16th ranked Carter Weaverling
of State College. Magnus Lloyd also just missed making
the medal stand, going 3-2 on the day. He lost a heart
breaking 6-5 tussle in the first round to state ranked,
Braden Newby of State College. He bounced back for three
straight wins in the consolations before being eliminated
by #1 seed, Luke Moore of Chestnut Ridge. 215 pounder,
Russ Wismer also went 2-2, losing a 2-1 squeaker in the
in the third consi round.
The
team will be back in action Wednesday, January 22nd at
McDowell.
