Lancers Drop 3rd Straight to the Lake

The Lancers ran up a 25-3 lead over visiting Conneaut Lake Wednesday night, but the Lakers came storming back to win the last 8 bouts and the match. Keith Scharrer started the night off with a 32 second pin over Travis Morian. Freshman, Tyler Bowers kept the ball rolling with an 11-3 major decision over Steve Knapp at 112. Cyrus Parlin put on another dominating performance at 119 pounds. Cyrus scored several sets of back points with a series of bar arm combinations, before pinning his opponent at 5:53.

The Lakers briefly interrupted the GM run, when Matt Laird won a hard fought decision over Glen Sult at 125. Glenn held a 7-0 lead after two periods, but a locking hands penalty and a Laird five point move late in the final period, sent the bout into overtime. Joe Zimmerman turned in a great performance against veteran, Tyler Thomas. Zimmerman pulled out a 6-4 win when he hit a slick double leg in overtime.

Eric Zelina made short work of Drew Ketchum at 135, pinning the Lake wrestler in 50 seconds. That gave the Lancers what appeared to be a commanding 25-3 lead, but things began to unravel as Conneaut Lake won the last eight bouts, 4 by fall and two by a single point.

Notes From the Conneaut Lake Dual:
Conneaut Lake's win Wednesday was the first over GM since the 2000-2001 season. It was also the first time McLane has started the season 0-3 in several years.

Eric Zelina nailed down his 87th career win and 39th career pin Wednesday evening.

Zelina and Decker Place 4th at
King of the Mountain Tournament

Eric Zelina and Lou Decker made the semifinal rounds of the KOM tournament at Central Mountain High Scool friday evening. Eric cruised into the semifinals with a decision and two falls. Unfortunately both wrestlers dropped out of the winners bracket with Saturday morning losses.

Eric's loss was hard to take, according to Coach Cook. He was doing very well against Red Lion's Ryan Luu, when he got caught in a funky front headlock and was decked with only 7 ticks left on the 1st period clock. Decker also wrestled well in the semis, but couldn't get an offense going against the state's #1 ranked 171 pounder, AJ Brentzel (Penn Trafford). Lou ended up on the losing end of a 5-0 score.

Both wrestlers bounced back to win in consolation semifinals round. Zelina knocked off the tourney's #1 seed and 12th ranked (AA), Tyler Myers of Penns Valley, by a 7-6 count. Lou had no trouble disposing of Phillipsburg, New Jersey's Mike Santini, 14-1.

Eric finished 4th when he lost by fall to Central Mountain's Johnathon Quiggle in the consi finals. Zelina had pinned Quiggle in the quarterfinals on Friday. Lou Decker also finished 4th when he dropped his consolation finals bout, 16-8 to Jersey Shore's 23rd ranked, Joe Loffredo.

Keith Scharrer and Cyrus Parlin just missed the medal rounds when they lost one bout short of the consolation quarterfinals. Cyrus lost to #20 Joey Walters of Greater Latrobe in the 2nd round. He bounced back with two wins in the consolation rounds before he lost by fall, to Kenny Stank of Central Daughin. Keith, who had three pins in the tournament, lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decision in his final bout, to David White of Athens, on a penalty point.

Notes From KOM Tournament:

Eric Zelina won 4 matches at KOM, bringing his career win total to 86. Lou Decker won 3 bouts and now has 75 career wins. The Lancers finished 17th as a team...not too bad, considering the fact that they only had 11 wrestlers entered in one of Pennsylvania's premier tournaments. GM finished 13th at KOM last season with a full team.

The team's upper weights should be back on the mats on Monday. Shawn McFadden, Ben Deppen, Jake Carter and Ethan Polaski were in Hershey Saturday helping the General McLane football team win their first ever, PIAA AAA Football Championship over Pottsville, 28-23. Congratulations guys!!!

Banged Up McLane Wrestlers Place 4th @ McDowell Tournament

Missing three upper weights due to the football team's success, the McLane wrestlers somehow managed to claw their way to a 4th place finish at Saturday's McDowell Invitational Tournament. Shawn McFadden, Ethan Polaski, Jake Carter and Ben Deppen were in Pittsburgh helping the GM Football team win their first ever PA western final over #1 ranked Thomas Jefferson, 28-7.

Lou Decker is still sidelined, Eric Zelina suffered an ankle injury in Round 5, and Clay Steadman wrestled the entire day with an injury. But the patched together, banged up Lancer squad still managed to make a respectable showing.

Clay Steadman, who was obviously in pain all day, breezed through the 189 lbs. weight class with 3 falls and 2 shutouts. Clay gave up just a single point in the tourney when he intentionally cut his opponent loose to go for another takedown. His performance in the finals, against St. Mary's, 12th ranked Travis Reed was nothing short of stunning. Clay totally dominated the Dutchman from the neutral position and on the mat to run up an impressive 10-0 major decision.

Keith Scharrer and Cyrus Parlin also won McDowell Tournament titles. Keith won 4 bouts rather handily. He picked up a fall, a major and a lopsided, 7-2 win to make the finals. He then disposed of St. Marys' Zack Hoy by a 3-1 count. The match wasn't that close, as Keith held a 3-0 edge late in the final period. Cyrus posted 2 falls and a 12-0 major before running into Port Allegheny's Shane Martin. Parlin had to work hard for a 9-7 decision that propelled him into the finals, where he won by injury default over Iroquois' highly touted freshman, Dylan Simmer.

Seth Stonis placed 2nd. He made the finals by posting 3 wins, all by fall. Stonis dropped a 3-1 decision to St. Marys' Shane Clarr in the 152 lbs. finals bout. Glen Sult took 3rd at 125 lbs. Sult won by fall in the consolation finals. His lone loss was to tournament runnerup, Chris Rowe of Sharpsville. Joe Zimmerman and Eric Zelina both placed 4th. Zelina looked like he was on his way to the finals, but suffered a tournament ending injury in Round 5.

The McLane wrestlers will be back in action this coming Friday and Saturday at the King of the Mountain Tournament at Central Mountain High School.

Notes from the McDowell Invitational: Eric Zelina's last win at the McDowell Tournament was the 82nd of his career. He also surpassed Travis Goss's career takedown total to move into the #10 spot on the all time list with 169.

Lancers Suffer Worst Loss In More Than
Six Years to 11th Ranked Bellefonte

There wasn't much to cheer about after Clay Steadman's opening pin at Parker Middle school on Saturday. Steadman wasted no time taking Ben Musser to the mat with a high crotch, then pinning his opponent at the 1:38 mark. Bellefonte then won 11 of the final 13 weight classes, six by fall to run up a 43 point margin of victory over the short handed Lancers.

The only other Lancers to score wins were Eric Zelina and Cyrus Parlin. Zelina, who bumped up a weight class, had his hands full with Shane Alterio. There was lots of action in the first period, but neither wrestler was able to score. Zelina escaped 12 seconds into the second period to take a 1-0 lead. It looked like that one point lead might be enough, but after the official warned Eric for riding parallel, he decided to cut Alterio with 15 ticks left on the clock. That sent the bout to overtime. Alterio took a shot about midway through the period. Zelina caught him backing out and scored the winning takedown on a nifty re-shot.

Cyrus Parlin has been a pleasant surprise so far this year. Parlin gave up an early takedown to Nathan James, but it was all Cyrus after that. Cyrus escaped at the first period buzzer to make the score 2-1. In the second stanza, Parlin worked a bar arm combination mercilessly until he turned his opponent for back points. Cyrus chose top in the final period and once again rode his opponent with authority for the entire two minutes to secure a 4-2 win.

The Lancers will be back in action next weekend at the McDowell Tournament. The McLane squad will still be without Shawn McFadden, Ben Deppen, Jake Carter and Ethan Polaski, but Dale Sanders and Lou Decker should be back on the mat.

Short Handed Lancers Drop a One Point
Decision to McDowell at War at the Shore II

The GM grapplers opened the season Friday evening at Erie Civic Center with a one point loss to rival McDowell at the second annual War at the Shore. Even though they lost, the McLane wrestling team showed they will have some depth. Three freshmen and three sophomores did an admirable job of filling in for six missing starters.

Ethan Polaski, Ben Deppen, Jake Carter and Shawn McFadden were in Pittsburgh helping the Lancer football team beat District 8 champion, Oliver, 14-6 in the PIAA quaterfinals. Dale Sanders and Lou Decker were both on the sidelines nursing injuries.

Even though the team lost, Coach Cook had to be pleased with the performance of junior 119 pounder, Cyrus Parlin. Parlin pulled off a big upset over two time District champ, Steve Mancuso. Parlin and Mancuso both wrestled aggressively in the first, but neither could score. Cyrus escaped early in the second period, then countered a Mancuso flurry with a single leg and took the Trojan to the mat for a 3-0 lead. Parlin completely dominated Mancuso in the third by countering every attempt by the Trojan to break free.

The match started at 171 pounds. McDowell's Thor Perry picked up a fall over junior, Leroy Jenkins to give the Trojans a 6-0 lead. District champ, Clay Steadman answered with a 3:21 pin over Edwin Taylor.

The Lancers had to forfeit 215 and 285, which put McDowell on top 18-6, but Keith Scharrer got six back by taking a forfeit at 103. Freshman, Tyler Bowers dropped a major decision in his first varsity match against McDowell's Sean Stancliff, but turned in a gritty performance while wrestling up a weight class. McDowell led 22-12 at that point, but GM would win four of the next five weight classes to take a 30-25 lead.

After Parlin's win at 125, Glen Sult pinned Jerre Nieminski in just over a minute. Manley Lupher had a 3-1 lead, but Matt McCullough came storming back to win a 4-3 decision at 130. Joe Zimmerman won a convincing 6-0 decision over James Zuendel at 135. District 10 champ, Eric Zelina accepted a forfeit at 140 pounds, but Brayen Hayes got 6 back for the Trojans at 145, with a fall over Dan McConnell.

Sophomore, Steve Hall pinned Andrew Borst at 152 pounds to give GM a 36-31 lead with one bout to go. Things were looking good, but McDowell's talented senior, Nick Gardner secured a McDowell win with a pin at 160. Final score, McDowell-37 GM-36.

In other War at the Shore action, Fort LeBoeuf upset highly touted Mt. Pleasant, 38-26. Mercyhurst beat Gannon and the Edinboro Fighting Scots rallied from a 13-0 deficit to beat Michigan State. Former GM wrestler, Hudson Harrison won a hard fought, 2-1 decision over NCAA qualifier, A.J. Sayles in the Gannon vs. Mercyhurst match.

The Lancers will be back in action tomorrow at Parker Middle School against Bellefonte.
