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.

LANCERS GO 2-3 AT HAMPTON DAWG DUALS

The McLane wrestling team opened the 2021-22 season by winning 2 of 5 matches down in tough District 7 at the Hampton Duals. The Lancers opened with two straight wins, one over host Hampton and then a big win over Pittsburgh Central Catholic. Unfortunately, three straight losses followed - a 37-36 squeaker to Thomas Jefferson and then defeats at the hands of Mount Pleasant and Quaker Valley.

Sophomore Magnus Lloyd went 5-0 and was the only GM wrestler to finish the day unscathed. Ben Watkins, Chance Kimmy and Wilson Spires all went 4-1. Russell Wismer, Hudson Spires, Christian Gillette, Teige Berger and Ethan Snyder all posted their first varsity wins.
