BB: Bloomington South takes strangle hold on CI race

Posted on 31 January 2009 by .

 

Barring a major upset, Bloomington South laid claim to the
Conference Indiana title Friday night. The Panthers thumped Pike in a showdown
of the two remaining unbeatens in league play, 75-50. That moved south’s record
to 5-0 in the conference. The two remaining games for the Panthers are versus
Columbus North and Perry Meridian, the two squads at the bottom of the league
standings.

 

Elsewhere in CI Friday night, Franklin Central assured
itself of an upper division finish by downing Bloomington North 60-45. Southport picked up its second league win by edging
Columbus North 53-45. The victory kept the Bull Dogs winless in conference play
and dropped them to 6-8 overall. The Cardinals are now 8-6 on the campaign.
Finally, Lawrence
central tripped Perry Meridian by ten, 52-42. The victory moves LC to 2-3 in
the league and drops the falcons to 1-4.

GBB: Perry Meridian runs past host Center Grove, 58-44

Posted on 21 January 2009 by .

By Mike McGraw
Executive Director

The terms “size” and “speed” are common in sports. The key to Perry Meridian’s 58-44 victory over Center Grove was “size WITH speed” Jan. 20 as the host Trojans simply had no answer for the Falcons’ talented and mobile post duo of Amanda Raker and Lindsay Spears.

Coach Mike Armstrong wanted his Falcons to speed the tempo of this game from the outset. They came into the game believing they could beat the Trojans up and down the floor, and they were right.

Perry Meridian (No. 14 in the latest Sagarin 4A ratings, 14-4 overall and in a four-way tie for first place in Conference Indiana at 4-1) used full-court pressure to speed up the game and force Center Grove into quick shots. The Falcons then ran like the wind in transition, scoring one easy bucket after another throughout the first half of the game.

Many of the scores were a result of Raker beating the Center Grove inside players down the court. She finished with 10 points at in the opening half, and Perry Meridian had opened a comfortable 34-19 lead at intermission.

“Comfortable” is a relative term. Three times this season, Perry Meridian has surrendered leads of 15 points or more. This time, however, no serious challenge was forthcoming from Center Grove.

The Trojans (No. 17 in the 4A power ratings, 9-6 overall and fourth in the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference at 2-1) did have some success, though, in slowing Perry Meridian down in the second half as the Falcons scored only four points in transition during the final two quarters. Yet Center Grove could not muster enough offense of its own to seriously close the gap.

The closest they came were two chances to cut the margin to 11 late in the third quarter. But the Trojans came up empty on each occasion.

Raker, it should be noted, was even more deadly in the half court. She scored 13 in the second half to finish with a game-high 23 points. Katelyn Walker was also in double figures for Parry Meridian with 12 markers, and Spears added 10 points on the evening.

Britney Shaner and Kirsten Gliesmann led Center Grove with 12 points apiece.

The two schools are likely to meet again in Sectional 11 next month at Whiteland. But before that, Perry Meridian visits township rival Southport Jan. 23 while Center Grove will host undefeated 4A top-ranked Ben Davis Saturday.

W Conference Indiana: #5 Perry Meridian wins eight classes, tourney title

Posted on 18 January 2009 by .

By E. Shawn Aylsworth
Managing Editor

Fifth-ranked Perry Meridian took out its frustrations from a double-digit dual-meet loss at Indianapolis Cathedral earlier in the week by winning eight of 14 weight classes Jan. 17 en route to the Conference Indiana Tournament title at Bloomington South.

The Falcons won five straight classes going from 135 to 160 in tallying 251 team points. That was plenty enough to outpoint runner-up Columbus North (181.5), while the host Panthers took third place with 170 and Bloomington North finished fourth in the eight-team tourney at 151.

Most impressive, however, was Bloomington South’s eighth-ranked Brannigan Barlow’s giant-slaying performance at 130. After dispatching of Franklin Central’s Josh Dossey with a pin late in the second period of their opening-round match, Barlow pounded Perry Meridian’s No. 2 Sampson Cook with a 10-4 semifinal decision before toppling Pike’s top-ranked D’Marcus Spencer 6-3 in the finals.

Yowza.

There were a couple other upsets as well, both coming in the championship bouts of heavier weight classes. At 189, Bloomington South’s unranked Darren Eads upset No. 14 Daniel Sandberg of Lawrence Central, 5-2. And at heavyweight, No. 12 Jowan Gill of Columbus North pinned No. 5 Joe of Bloomington North in 4:46.

In the day’s other battle of ranked opponents, Perry Meridian’s No. 7 Jacob Tasseff outlasted No. 14 Marcus Waddell in the 145 finals, 3-2.

Finally, 10 of the day’s matches ended in first-period pins.

3. Bloomington South 170
4. Bloomington North 151

W: #5 host Cathedral handles #3 Perry Meridian, 34-21

Posted on 15 January 2009 by .

By E. Shawn Aylsworth
Managing Editor

Technical difficulties (my freakin’ laptop won’t connect to the Internets!) precluded the posting of this story all day. I apologize!

INDIANAPOLIS – The weather outside may have been frightfully cold Jan. 14, but the dual-meet wrestling action inside the Robert Welch Center was nice and hot as fifth-ranked host Indianapolis Cathedral upset No. 3 Perry Meridian for the second straight season, 34-21.

Cathedral spotted the Falcons a 9-3 lead before taking control when 10th-ranked Fighting Irish freshman Tyler Willis pinned No. 16 Perry senior Cory Hudgins in the second period of their 160-pound throwdown. That momentum-shifter gave Cathedral its first lead at 17-12 and set the tone for the rest of the meet.

Click here to see Willis’ second-period stick as well as the freshman’s jubilant celebration.

This joust between juggernauts featured an incredible 17 ranked wrestlers (a state-high nine for Cathedral, eight for Perry). A fan-pleasing six matches pitted ranked foe against ranked foe – including a spectacular stretch of five straight matches from 135 to 160.

The two teams split those six matches, and there would have been a seventh had Cathedral’s No. 7 130-pounder John Grey not dropped down to 125 to avoid meeting second-ranked Sampson Cook. Of the eight Irish wins overall, two came by tech fall, two were sticks, and four were by decision.

On the other side, five of the Falcons’ six wins were of the minimum three-team-points variety.

Perry Meridian coach Jim Tonte refused to blame the loss on fallout from his team’s trip four days earlier to the Belmont Super Duals, a 3-1 effort that included a split with top-ranked Mishawaka (a 29-25 loss) and No. 6 host Bellmont (a 37-24 win).

Click here for a post-match interview with coach Tonte.

With the meet starting at 125 pounds, that meant Perry Meridian would need a sizeable lead heading into the night’s final match. That’s because top-ranked defending 112 state champion junior Brandon Wright was wearing the green singlet at 119, meaning certain trouble for the visitors.

And the junior delivered, racing out to an 11-2 lead in the first minute before downing Perry junior Jason Simmons by tech fall just into the third period, 19-4. But that impressive effort was merely icing – literally, on this frozen evening – on Cathedral’s cake.

Wright’s prowess was anti-climactic because of the run started by Willis at 160 that kicked into overdrive with junior Wesley Stokes’ second-period pin of Perry sophomore Devin Schaefer at heavyweight. Cathedral’s second stick of the meet pushed the Irish lead to 26-18 with three matches to go, all but forcing the Falcons to win the next two battles by fall.

But No. 5 freshman Jared McKinley could manage only a 7-2 decision over 10th-ranked Irish freshman Brian Harvey at 103, and 12th-ranked senior Blake Roytek clinched the contest for Cathedral with a tight 2-1 win over Perry sophomore Michael Clem at 112.

Cathedral coach Sean McGinley wasn’t expecting a pair of pins from his Irish, and he thought coming in that up to 11 of the 14 individual battles could go either way.

Here’s a look at the individual results:

#5 Indianapolis Cathedral 34, #3 Perry Meridian 21
103: #5 Jared McKinley (PM) dec. #10 Brian Harvey, 7-2 (Cath, 26-21)

W Bellmont Super Duals: #1 Mishawaka downs #3 Perry, #6 host Braves

Posted on 13 January 2009 by .

By E. Shawn Aylsworth
Managing Editor
Top-ranked Mishawaka jumped out to a 12-0 lead Jan. 10 against No. 3 Perry Meridian in the marquee matchup of the Bellmont Super Duals and held on for a 29-25 victory. The Cavemen also defeated the No. 6 host Braves, 38-21, in going a perfect 5-0 on the day.
Here’s look at the day’s big matches, complete with individual results and some excellent quotes from champion Mishawaka’s coach, Darrick Snyder (rankings courtesy of indianamat.com):
#1 Mishawaka 29, #3 Perry Meridian 25
103: #6 Jared McKinley (PM) forfeit (Mish, 12-6)
112: #4 Paul Beck (M) major dec. Michael Clem, 20-7 (Mish, 16-6)
119: #14 Matt Guerra (M) dec. Jason Simmons, 7-1 (Mish, 19-6)
125: Kirk Johnson (PM) dec. Nick Schrader, 8-3 (Mish, 19-9)
130: #4 Sampson Cook (PM) pin #1 Josh Harper, 2:15 (Mish, 19-15)
135: #8 Chris Goodwin (PM) dec. Aaron Mersich, 7-4 (Mish, 19-18)
140: #1 Steven Sandefer (M) major dec. #11 Jacob Tonte, 22-13 (Mish, 23-18)
145: #7 Jacob Tasseff (PM) major dec. Alex White, 14-6 (Mish, 23-22)
152: Marty Friedman (M) dec. #8 Blake Wood, 3-1 (Mish, 26-22)
160: Richard Morin (M) dec. #9 Cory Hudgins, 5-2 (Mish, 29-22)
171: Jordan Robinson (PM) dec. Drew Childress, 5-1 (Mish, 29-25)
189: #16 Dustin Boyd (M) dec. Andrew Richards, 4-0 (Mish, 3-0)
215: #7 Christian Lentz (M) dec. #5 Chris Schaefer, 3-0 (Mish, 6-0)
Hwt: #6 Travis Thomas (M) pin Devin Schaefer, 1:40 (Mish, 12-0)
In the heavily anticipated showdown between Nos. 1 and 3, Mishawaka led Perry Meridian 19-9 before the Falcons rallied within one with three straight wins, including a shocking pin of top-ranked Josh Harper at 130 pounds by No. 4 Sampson Cook. 
“Cook is a great wrestler and might have the best cradle in the state,” Snyder said. “We have seen him wrestle several times and knew it would be coming, but he still locked it up on us.
“Once again, Josh (a three-time state champion who endured only his third loss ever) handled himself with nothing but complete class. I think these recent losses are just going to motivate Josh – he is such a great wrestler and person. He hates losing, so I know he is excited to get back to work this week.”
Mishawaka’s top-ranked Steven Sandefer responded with a, shall we say, energetic 22-13 major decision of No. 11 Jacob Tonte at 140 before Perry’s No. 7 Jacob Tasseff pulled the Falcons right back at 23-22 with a 14-6 major decision of Alex White at 145. That set the stage for a pair of unranked wrestlers to save the day for the Cavemen.
Marty Friedman got a 3-1 decision over Perry’s No. 8 Blake Wood at 152 to make it 26-22. That preceded Richard Morin’s 5-2 decision over No. 9 Cory Hudgins at 160 to clinch the match at 29-22.
“We take a lot of pride in our JV wrestling team – they haven’t lost a dual meet in five years, and they go through the same practices as our varsity and train during the off-season like the varsity,” Snyder said. “Their commitment and toughness got us the win on Saturday.
“Marty Friedman is one of the best backups in the state. He has not been able to crack our lineup, but when called upon due to an injury he pulled out a huge win over a ranked wrestler. Richard Morin and Christian Lentz (Mishawaka’s seventh-ranked 215-pounder who registered the Cavemen’s third upset win with a 3-0 decision over No. 5 Chris Schaefer) were two of our other top JV guys last season.
“We knew they were going to be tough as nails for us, but they are even better than we had hoped.”
The 35-point outburst at 140 between Sandefer, the defending 140-pound state champ, and Tonte, the son of Perry Meridian coach Jim Tonte, was the talk of the town. A furious first period ended with the score knotted at 8, and the headlock-specialist Tonte was still very much in the match in the second stanza at 10-10. 
But Sandefer had moved out to a 15-10 advantage by the end of the period, and he pulled way late to score the major.
“Steven said Tonte is the most awkward opponents he has ever wrestled,” Snyder said. “Both of them are super explosive, and it made for one of the best matches I have seen all year.
“I’m sure they will meet again.”

112: #4 Paul Beck (M) major dec. Dewey Melcher, 11-3 (Mish, 18-12)

145: Alex White (M) dec. Ryley Hankenson, 10-4 (Mish (38-18)
152: #14 Tyler Baker (B) dec. Marty Friedman, 5-2 (Mish, 38-21)
160: Richard Morin (M) major dec. John Mahlan, 11-1 (Mish, 4-0)
171: Grant Melcher (B) dec. #15 Joey Smith, 14-10 (Mish, 4-3)
189: #16 Dustin Boyd (M) major dec. Travis Thatcher, 19-8 (Mish, 8-3)
215: #1 Billy Baker (B) dec. #7 Christian Lentz, 10-6 (Mish, 8-6)
Hwt: #6 Travis Thomas (M) pin Taylor Schenk, 4:25 (Mish, 14-6)
No. 6 Bellmont was able to hang close early, trailing 8-6 after four matches and 14-12 after six. But Mishawaka garnered victories in six of the final eight classes en route to the decisive win.
“Bellmont is an excellent team,” said Snyder, who was forced into forfeits all day at 103 after fifth-ranked Taylor Wisler failed to make weight. “We were able to win some swing matches, and the guys who lost battled.
“Taylor Wisler is a stud, but is learning to manage his weight. If he gets it under control, he will be a force at 103.”
 
Now 16-0 in dual meets, Mishawaka’s focus remains on peaking in February, according to Snyder.
“We go to the best tournaments we can find to get ready for the end of the year,” Snyder said. “Tournaments like Calumet (the Traicoff Invitational), Bellmont, and our Al Smith Classic get our guys ready for the end of the year. 
“We talk to the guys about having a target on their back, and even got shirts with targets on them to emphasize the point. Anytime you are the returning state champions in any sport, you are going to get everyone’s best.
“It has been a fun and really tough year so far. It really makes us respect and admire teams like (12-time state champ) Evansville Mater Dei who are so often on top.”

W: Perry Meridian makes statement in dominating Morth Montgomery Duals

Posted on 01 January 2009 by .

 

Mike McGraw

Hoosier Authority

The North Montgomery Duals are on of the best tests for a
wrestling team each season. They demand seven grueling dual matches over two
days against many of the top teams in Indiana.
Because they are duels, and not an individual invitational, they present numerous
challenges. Sometimes a match pits strength against strength. Other times a
team’s strength is pitted versus another squad’s weakness, and vice versa. They
are an excellent indication of a team’s position heading into the state
tournament.

 

To that end, give third-ranked Perry Meridian a solid A
grade. The Falcons once again won the North Montgomery
meet, and did it in impressive fashion. They were 7-0 over the two days and in
many instances held their opponents to less than 10 points. The Falcons were
strong throughout the lineup, but were led, as usual, by Chris Goodwin at
135lbs. and Jacob Tonte at 142lbs. The two grapplers were undefeated during the
seven matches.

 

Conference Indiana
rival Bloomington South was also among the competitors. The Panthers had a much
tougher time. They battled to a 2-5 record. However, many of South’s matches
were close enough that coaches can now focus on the needed areas of improvement
before tourney rime.

 

Here is a look at the scores from the two Conference Indiana teams. Also, in
the video players on this page, you can see highlights of Goodwin and Tonte in
action.
