Powerade notes

I would not want to be given the responsibility of seeding this tournament. There is just so much disparity between the different states. The quality of wrestling is not the same. But a champion is a champion, and it's hard to overlook that. ... I like the fact West Greene and Chartiers-Houston are constant competitors in this event, even though they could be more successful somewhere else. It's good for their programs to see such a high level of wrestling early in the season. ... One of the most topsy turvy weight classes is 112, where two pigtail wrestlers - Solon's Anthony Collica and Moeller's Stephen Myers – made the semifinals. ... Connellsville's Nate Gaffney pulled off an unusual feat: back-to-back pins in the same time: 1:57. ... Nikos Garofolo of Hempfield knocked off Trinity's Kyle McWreath and McGuffey's Nick Shuman in the first day. He is having an outstanding tournament for a low seed. ... My dark horse of the tournament - Tanner Hough of Westmont Hilltop - stumbled in the second round but can still finish third. ... Charleroi's Josh Kwasny ran into Nico Megaludis of Franklin Regional in the second round but is still a good bet to finish third. ... Trevor Gibson of Penn Trafford had one of his best wins of the season - 4-3 in overtime against Ethan Saylor of Connellsville in the quarters. His reward is a match against Marshall Peppelman of Central Dauphin in the semis.

Powerade

One of the best regular-season wrestling tournaments in the country gets under way at Canon-McMillan High School Tuesday, the Powerade Christmas Wrestling Tournament. The lineup is always impressive and the talent is top-notch.
Here are 10 things to look for in this year's event.

1. Marshall Peppelman, Central Dauphin - The 160-pound senior is looking for his fourth Powerade title. Only Ty Moore of North Allegheny has accomplished that feat.

2. Jim Gulibon, Derry - Gulibon went 39-1 last season and won the 103-pound title in Hershey. He's at 112.

3. Nico Megaludis, Franklin Regional - He was a perfect 46-0 last season, winning his second straight state title. Megaludis (112) and Peppelman are the only undefeated wrestlers from last year returning to this tournament.

4. Levi Clemons, Kissimmeee Osceola, Fla. - Went 52-4, won a state title and is making his Powerade debut at 171.

5. Bazell Partridge, Collins Hill, Ga. - Besides a 53-win season last year that produced a state title, he has one of the all-time great names for this "Christmas" tournament. He's at 112.

6. Nate Gaffney, Connellsville - The 215-pounder is a load, and a returning state champion.

7. Shady Side Academy - The school has three wrestlers - Geoff Alexander (119), Frank Martellotti (130) and Matt Cunningham (171) - who could win titles.

8. Christiansburg, Va. - Winning a team title would not be a surprise because this team has won eight of them in the Virginia tournament.

9. A dark horse - Tanner Hough of Westmont Hilltop, a fifth seed at 125.

10. The youngsters - It will be interesting to see how three freshmen - Cody Wiercioch (152) of Charleroi and Tanner Sutton (130) and Garrett Vulcano (145) of Chartiers-Houston - perform in this event.

Who won't be there: Mike Hull of Canon-McMillan is only competing in team events this season.

Schedule - The two-day tournament begins 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. Semifinals are 11:30 a.m. Wednesday with the finals at 7:30 p.m. There is a ton of wrestling in between.

Trinity rally

A rally has been planned for 7 p.m. Tuesday night at North Franklin Township Fire Hall for individuals who are unhappy with the Trinity School Board's decision to open the positions of all fall coaching positions, including football coach and AD Ed Dalton, and the possibility of opening the winter coaching positions, including wrestling.

12/18/2009

Marino one-and-done?

If you happened to have read Dawn Goodman's piece in today's O-R about the protests planned over the firing of Ed Dalton as Trinity's football coach and athletic director and others, then you might have caught this from Trinity board member Scott Day:

"Day said he anticipates that the winter and spring coaching positions will be opened up . . . "

Day appears to be saying that Hillers' wrestling coach Mike Marino is going to be fired after the season, along with the rest of the winter coaches. Marino was hired to replace Jeff Bricker after Bricker resigned after last season. While Marino is in his first season as head coach, he has been a part of the Trinity wrestling program for years and is a familiar face to the athletes.

If this is the plan, then the board should remember this: There is no quicker way to destroy the stability of an athletic program than to continually change coaches.

Week 1 thoughts


Congratulations to Colton Blumer of West Greene, who won his 100th career bout in a dual meet against Washington. Arlene Lantzer sent the photo in to me. ... In case you were wondering, the pronunciation of Charleroi's freshman is Cody Ware-chuk. You will hear his name a lot during the season. ... Charleroi has a good chance to make the Class AA Team Tournament ... Chartiers-Houston snapped a long drought in winning the team title at its own tournament. It's a testament to the improvements in the Bucs' program and also the quality of teams participating in the event. The Bucs have two freshmen in Tanner Sutton and Garret Vulcano who will be fun to watch for the next four seasons. ... It's unsettling that Michael Innes is hurt again. That seems to be a recurring theme for the talented C-H middleweight. ... It's going to be another long season for Washington. ... Beth-Center's Jeff Tarley is wrestling heavyweight for Beth-Center. He's put on a lot of weight since I've seen him last. ... Canon-McMillan is hosting the Class AAA individual championships for a third straight season. It was supposed to go back to Norwin but the crowds have been good at C-M and the WPIAL decided not to make the change until next season. ... Powerade Christmas Wrestling Tournament is Dec. 29 and 30 at C-M. Don't miss it.
