Section Tournament thoughts

I am always amazed that people urge me to publish my pre-tournament selections when I stink at it. I only got two on the nose: Section 2 in Class AAA and Section 3 in Class AA. Greensburg Salem beating Central Catholic on criteria was a shocker but that team must be underrated to beat PCC. Hampton knocking off North Allegheny was unexpected and I took a shot with South Fayette and lost.

Canon-McMillan getting Connor Schram back in the lineup was key if the Big Macs want to sweep the team tournament titles this season. If the rankings hold, then Canon-McMillan and Central Dauphin will be the two best teams in the state team tournament that begins in a couple weeks. Of course, the PIAA in all its idiocy has the bracket set so the teams meet in the semifinals. Geniuses.

Despite having two dozen wrestlers on the sideline, Yough forfeited four bouts to Jefferson-Morgan in the first round of Section 2-AA. Not sure what Yough coach Jeremy Zufall was thinking - we'll save everyone for the third-place match? - but I can't imagine parents of those wrestlers who sat were pleased.

The strongest section in wrestling is 1-AAA, where Kiski, Latrobe, Greensburg Salem, Pittsburgh Central Catholic, Franklin Regional and Penn Trafford reside. Would have loved to see those matches Wednesday night.

Chartiers-Houston's 63-10 win over Freedom might have been a rouit but the 145-pound bout where Tanner Sutton decisioned Boe Bonzo, 5-3, would have been worth watching the other 13 to get to it.

WPIAL Team Tournament pairings will be released today.

Picking the winners

For those of you who have read this blog for a while, you know that we are heading into my two least favorite parts of the season. The first is the Section Team Tournament, which plays out Wednesday and the second is the PIAA Team Tournament, which begins a couple weeks from now.

The Section Team Tournament is nothing but a seeding process with only one of the six teams failing to advance. I would be willing to totally do without this event if it it did not allow for two very positive things in the sport.

First, it cuts the dual meet season down because there are fewer teams in the subsections. That allows teams to use more scheduling points to compete in more regular season duals and tournaments and I think that's a good thing. I don't want to go back to the 8-team sections because the competition level was awful for most of those matches.

Second, it does determine a section champion, and that is a good accomplishment.

That being said: Here are my picks:

Class AAA

Canon-McMillan, Peters Township, Waynesburg, Char Valley in Section 4
North Allegheny, Butler, Hampton, Hopewell in Section 3
Connellsville, Hempfield, Ringgold, Elizabeth Forward in Section 2
Kiski, Central Catholic, Greensburg Salem, Latrobe in Section 1

Class AA
Chartiers-Houston, South Fayette, Freedom, SS Beaver in Section 1
Jefferson-Morgan, Derry, Bentworth, Yough in Section 2
Burrell, Valley, Keystone Oaks, South Allegheny in Section 1

I'll even throw in the fifth-place teams:
Upper St. Clair, Pine-Richland, Belle Vernon, Franklin Regional in Class AAA
Fort Cherry, West Greene, Kittanning in Class AA



Team Rankings

Class AAA
1. Canon-McMillan 16-0
2. Kiski 17-0
3. North Allegheny 13-2
4. Pittsburgh CC 8-2
5. Connellsville 11-3
6. Peters Township 6-0
7. Franklin Regional 6-3
8. Greensburg Salem 8-2
9. Butler 12-2
10. Hampton 12-1

Class AA
1. Jefferson-Morgan  11-1
2. Chartiers-Houston 8-4
3. Bentworth 9-1
4. Derry 5-0
5. Burrell 8-8

Notes – This will be the final team rankings because the tournament is about to get under way. … Burrell might be the first team with eight losses to be ranked. … I think Freedom is 5-1 but I haven't found their results anywhere on line. So I'm not ranking them.

A moving tribute

Todd Irwin of the Altoona Mirror wrote a good story about the Chestnut Ridge wrestling team honroing Brioan Corle, a teammate who was killed in a car crash in the fall. Here is the link:

Another great program

Maybe we can all take a break from the Canon-McMillan debates to recognize there are other great teams out there. This is from Rodfrisco.com:

Central Dauphin established a Pennsylvania record for consecutive wrestling dual meet victories with a 70-3 triumph over Central Bucks East in the opening round of the Central Dauphin Duals. With four more victories in the event, CD (9-0) will take an 82-match streak into Wednesday’s match with once-beaten Big Spring (10-1).
The opening-round victory was CD’s 78th straight and broke the previous mark of 77 set by Dallastown from the 1983-84 season through the 1988-89 season. The Dallastown streak was stopped by South Western, 31-15, on Jan. 11, 1989.
CD’s winning streak began on Jan. 12, 2008, following a 34-31 loss to Cumberland Valley in the third round of the five-round Cumberland Valley Winter Duals. The Rams defeated Council Rock South in the fourth round, 38-17, to start its current streak which has spanned four years and two days.
In the process, Central Dauphin became the first District 3 team to win four consecutive District 3-AAA team championships (Hanover has the District 3 record with seven straight titles, all in Class AA) and four straight PIAA Class AAA Team Championship titles.
The Rams defeated Mifflin County 53-10 for their 79th straight victory and Middletown 55-8 for their 80th straight victory. CD crushed Abington Heights 71-3 in the fourth round for its 81st straight victory and beat St. Anthony’s from Melville, NY (Long Island) 52-12 to close out the Duals at 82 straight.
Central Dauphin is ranked No. 26 nationally by Intermat.

West Greene to honor Fletcher

Rosemary Fletcher will be inducted (posthumously) into the West Greene athletic Hall of Fame, as a contributor, prior to the varsity wrestling match against. Jefferson-Morgan Wednesday. Match time is scheduled for 7:00, and ceremonies for this, little league recognition and senior night will take place in between completion of Jr. High match and start of varsity contest.
Rosemary Bissett Fletcher passed on Nov. 10, 2011. She was a life-long supporter of athletics in the district, and bore the nickname "Mrs. West Greene."

She graduated from the former Richhill High School in Wind Ridge in 1949. Rosemary married Robert Loar Fletcher on January 2, 1950 and was a resident of Graysville most of her life.

Rosemary was extremely active in the school district. She was employed as a bus driver for 37 years, retiring in January, 2011. She drove regular routes with our students, as well as hauling the bulk of West Greene's extra-curricular runs most of her career. She also served on the Board of Education 17 years, holding the position of Board Secretary, and being on the Transportation and Athletic Committees.

Rosemary, and family, were very supportive of our wrestling teams over the years. The Fletcher-Bissett Memorial Award has been given annually to the most outstanding varsity wrestler. Rosemary had served as presenter of this award for more than 30 years.

Rosemary was a true philanthropist when it came to "her kids." No team, or athlete ever went without a meal or drink while she drove. Supporting West Greene student-athletes was a lifetime commitment for her.

Katie Roupe/ O-R
Corey Garry of Fort cherry celebrates winning the heavyweight title at the Tri-County Tournament Saturday at Charleroi High School. Garry pinned Nate Grandelis of Chartiers-Houston in overtime.

Final county thoughts

Connellsville won the team title with only three wrestlers in the finals. The Falcons did have 10 total medalists. Consider this: In their last dual meet, the Falcons started eight freshman and head coach Tom Dolde told me there were four or five eight-graders who could come and start next season.

One of the traits of a possible state medalist is a mean streak. Tanner Wiltrout of Connellsville has one and that made his bout against Tanner Sutton of Chartiers-Houston so much fun to watch.

Luke Palamides was not happy about his 1-0 loss to Charleroi's Aaron Toth. Following the match, the 126-pounder from Peters Township headed to the hallway, where he let off some of that frustration. A good sign when a wrestler is pissed about losing a Tri-County Tournament final.

Toth and Josh Kwasny will be competing in a numbers’ game the rest of this season. The Charleroi seniors are approaching the school victory record of 110 held by Dave Grillo.
Toth, a 126-pounder, and Kwasny, a 132-pounder, should each pass that number if they remain healthy.
But who will finish with more wins?
Toth is 16-0 this season and has a 103-29 career record. Kwasny is 17-2 and 101-28.

Corey Garry was not feeling well before the first round of the tournament began Friday. He knew who to blame. The Fort Cherry senior indulged in not one, not two, but three of his mother’s specialty hamburgers, and his stomach did not react well.
“I have an inability to stop eating her food,” he said with a smile.

Autin McDermitt of Burgettstown is one of those rare freshmen whose preseason reputation matches his in season success.

Tri-County Tournament notes

The biggest upset of the night belonged to Peters Township's Phil Mary, who knocked off top-seeded Jake Rothka of Bentworth, 7-6, in the quarterfinals at 106 pounds. Mary gets Brendan Howard of Jefferson-Morgan in the semifinals.

Ringgold heavyweight Dean Lusk, rated third in the Observer-Reporter Wrestling Rankings, was scratched from the tournament with an upper arm injury. Lusk, who has a 15-2 record, hurt the arm in a 10-5 decision over West Mifflin’s Nick Dzuka Thursday night.

West Greene's Cody Jacobs had to be helped off the mat with what appeared to be a right knee injury following his loss to Fort Cherry's Tanner Garry at 195 pounds.

Connellsville leads the team race after the first day, accumulating 83.5 points. Peters Township is second at 74, followed by Chartiers-Houston (71) and Jefferson-Morgan (64).

Gulibon out 2 weeks

Jimmy Gulibon, the three-time PIAA champion from Derry and a four-time winner at Powerade, will miss the next two weeks of the season with a tear of his meniscus. Gulibon injured the left knee during the 126-pound finals against Mawell Hvolbek of Blair Academy. The tear of the meniscus is considered the easiest of the other possible knee injuries to rehab from.
