Wresting Records Squared

Coach Pitman has the stats.  And I'm much closer to being a mathlete than an athlete, so that's right up my alley.

Takedowns at Taylor

The wrestling team finished 4th at the league tournament on Saturday (2 points behind 3rd place Madeira). Unfortunatley the matmen were without starters Justin Shields and Asa Palmer. Many would be happy to know that Indian Hill finished in 7th (last place due to Finneytown not fielding a team). Ike Palmer (195) won in overtime in his championship match to earn his second consecutive league championship.  Zach VanFossen had some of his own highlights by pinning his opponent from Taylor in 29 seconds and his opponent from Indian Hill in 11 seconds. VanFossen finished 4th in the tournament at 120 pounds. Other placers for the Cowboys were:

126 Pitman 4th
132 Casada 3rd 
145 Oliver 3rd
152 Brunke 3rd
170 Kremzar 3rd
220 Padnos 4th
285 Bell 4th

The matmen will have 2 weeks to prepare for the Southwest Ohio Division II Sectional Tournament hosted by Western Brown High School. The top 4 placers will advance to the District tournament in Wilmington.

With VanFossen having 2 very quick pins this weekend...here are the top 10 quickest pins of the season:

:11       VanFossen against Indian Hill
:15       Kremzar against Westfalls
:19       Shields against Western Hills
:21       Shields against McNick
:21       I. Palmer against Anderson
:29       VanFossen against Taylor
:31       Oliver against CCD
:35       Shields against CNE
:38       I. Palmer against Williamsburg
:39       Oliver against Loveland

F1K

Unlike other failed "K" acronyms, this one actually works.  Computers didn't crash, but senior Ahmed Frost exploded past the 1,000 point mark with his opening 3 pointer at Saturday, February 1st's 67-43 win over Taylor.  The pictures below are from Friday, January 31st's 64-53 win over Indian Hill where he worked up to 997.
Thanks to Arch Cunningham for the tremendous pictures.

Learned 'em a Lesson

They say losing is where important lessons are learned and character is built.  The Cowboys were glad to help Seven Hills out in this area on Thursday. January 30th.  The Girls' Varsity Basketball team capped of the lesson with the 56-49 win.  What an altruistic group we have.
Thanks to Arch Cunningham for these great shots.
