JC Dominant At Franklin Invitational.....
On the strength of 8 finalists, resulting in 6 champions, the Patriots ripped thru the 17 team field, winning by 41.5 over 2nd place Curley and 50 points ahead of annual state contender, Owings Mills.
Leading the way was Steven Jernigan (120), Chris Scott (132), Scott Strappelli (138), George Weber (145), Chris Almony (152) and Hunter Ritter (160). Almony and Ritter---both freshman---beat state champions en route to their titles. The match of the night may have been in the finals at 132, where freshman, Chris Scott, seeded #6, came from behind to beat the #1 seed, a senior from Owings Mills by a score of 7-6. The winning takedown came with :09 left in the match. Of the other finalists, 106 pounder, Zach Dwyer lost on a takedown in overtime, while Devin Davis lost to MD's #1 at 113. Artie Milner was 3rd at 126; Jay Etkins 4th at 182; Rapheal Oduok 5th at 220 and Dan Kelble 6th at 195. Ritter's victory in the finals over state champion Taran Carr earned him the Outstanding Wrestler award.
Pats Take Two.....
Visiting Huntingtown and Rising Sun ran into a buzz saw last Wednesday at JC, where both were beaten easily by the Patriots. JC beat southern MD's Huntingtown 54-15 and used several back up wrestlers to take down the Tigers, 46-17. In the match of the night, JC's 2x All American, junior, George Weber bumped a weight class from 145 to 152, to beat 3x public school placer, Anthony Cimirosi, 3-2. JC's dual meet record is 12-1 thus far.
