Teike/Bernabi Tournament displays local wrestling talent Taylor, Conte and Uyar win titles

by T i m I r v i n g

S p e n c e r p o r t ' s newly r e - n a m e d Teike/Bernabi Wrest l ing Tournament has been the area's biggest regular-sea­son tournament for year's and this sea­son's was no different.

Eighteen teams from New York and Pennsylvania participated in an event that was strongly influenced by the Rochester contingent.

Brockport's Steve Taylor went into the season as the state's top-ranked 1451b. wrestler. This tournament would put the senior to the test as that weight class fea­tured some of the state's top wrestlers.

Tavlor earned a bye in the first-round as the top seed. Many felt the final would come down to Taylor and Spencerport 's Tom Foos. But this weight class also fea­tured Whitehal l (Section II) wrest ler Chris Terry, also one of the top wrestlers in the s ta te . The weight class also in­cluded Spence rpor t ' s Eric Vasquez wrest l ing for Ogden-Parma, Hilton's Craig Wescott and Royalton-Hartland's Willie Cunningham who had given Foos a tough match earlier in the season.

Taylor showed his prowess though. He pinned Heath MacWhinnie of Athens (Pa.) in 3:12 to move to the semifinals against Vasquez.

The Spencerport senior put up the best struggle of the meet against Taylor and held him to a 7-1 decision. Meanwhile, in the other semifinal, Terry had pulled what appeared to the untra ined viewer to be an upset over Foos with a 6-3 deci­sion.

Terry would put up a fight against Tavlor, but the Whitehall senior, who had

•rl wrestled six times in this tournament without a title, was pinned with 44 sec­onds left in the match and Taylor was named the meet's outstanding wrestler.

The Blue Devils would have two champions. Anthony Conte worked his way through the 1321b. class with a first-round bye. a 7-2 decision over Pat Som-mer of Lancaster and a 4-1 decision over Doug Titus of Lock port to put him in the finals against the top-seed, Gates-Chili's Jim Barbato.

The match meant more than just an individual title. If the Brockport junior could pull off the victory, Gates would be shut out of winning the team title as Bar­bato was the last finalist for the Spartans.

Conte never trailed, getting an escape and a takedown in a 3-1 win which had the crowd jumping. At one point in the match, Barbato had Conte set up for a takedown, but Conte held on and fought it off to preserve the victory.

The win meant that the Gates team, having 157.5 team points at that juncture, could not catch Spencerport who had 160 team points.

Spencerport had two wrestlers in the finals and ended with one champion. Hasan Uyar started the 2501b. weight class with a pin of Mike Sanscrninte of Cheektowaga in 1:17.

In the quarterfinals, the Rangers' se­nior pinned Don Thomas of Bethlehem (Pa.) in 3:35.

The biggest of his matches came in the semifinals where he met Gates-Chili 's Kevin Dallimore. The Spartan-Ranger match-ups became critical nnd Spencer­port 's wrest ler literally left Dallimore writhing in pain. Jus t ns the first period whist le blew, Uyar was countering a head-slap by Dallimore and caught the junior with n bend to (he rhin.

Dall imore was never the same nnd Uyar rolled to the finals with an 11-3 de­cision.

T h o f ina l s were fairly anti-climatic as Lockport 's Tony Bognr was lethargic and Uyar had to do very little to win the match . Uyar scored an escape before Bogar was penal ized two points for s ta l l ing. Uyar added a takedown nnd won the match 5-0, giving Spencerport a final team score of 164 points.

The Rangers ' other finalist was Dave Rotoli at 9Ubs. Like Uyar, Rotoli was the top seed. He earned a first-round bye, then pinned Chad Mallow of Bethlehem at 3:42 of the match to get to the semifi­nals.

Rotoli gave the Rangers a big lift with a pin at 1:20 of his semifinal match against Dan Clor of LeRoy.

The finals were as uplifting. The first final match of the night ended in 1:44 with Elmira-Southside 's Jeff Reese on top.

The Rangers won the tournament by scoring five third-place winners.

Scott Ingham had a fine tournament , pinning Jason Matteson of Whitehall in 1:35 and scoring a technical fall over Jeff Leonardi of Lancaster at 5:11 to get to the sem ifinals of the 981b. bracket. He would take on John Morello of Lockport, the second seed. After a long battle, Morello had a 6-4 lead and Ingham moved to the consolation bracket where he scored a 6-0 decision over Ian Wolfe of Elmira-Southside before winning the third place match 12-6 in OT over Jason Collins of Roy-Hart.

At 126lbs. , Jus t in Raines pinned Jeff Berner of Roy-Hart in 1:25 to open the tourney. He then gained the semifinals with a 15-2 decision over Scott Krulisky of Lockport.

In the semifinals, Raines was upset by . Athens ' Dave Alexander who scored a reversal a t the buzzer to win 2-0. In the consolat ions, Ra ines defeated Brock­port's Chris Fiorito 6-1 before winning the third place match 5-3.

Bill Smith wTestled beautifully for the Rangers, scoring a technical fail at 5:24 of his opening match at 138Ybs. against Tim Klotz of Elmira-Notre Dame.

He then defeated Chris Johnson of Lockport 6-4 to get to the semifinals where he was pinned by Dan Powell of Lancaster in 4:30.

In the consolations, Smith scored a 6-0 decision over Ryan Benjamin of Elmira-Southside before defeating J im Cun­ningham of Roy-Hart 3-2.

Foos was expected to be the one guy to give Taylor a run , but when he lost to Teiry, he realized the tournament wasn' t over and wrestled well in his rematch with Cunningham of Roy-Hart. He de­feated the Section VI wrestler 5-2 before pinning his teammate Vasquez for third place in 2:00.

Mike Licata was the top seed at 1771bs. He was supposed to get a bye but due to an excess of wrestlers at that weight, the spot in the bracket was filled after a pre­liminary match called a pigtail. Kevin Sommers of Gates would win the match, as he was a late entry to the weight class after failing to make weight for another class.

Sommers got behind early, but Licata didn't seem to be on top of things. Sud­denly, Sommers had Licata on his back, and scored the pin at 4:45.

The two were destined to meet again. In the next round, Sommers was de­feated by the eventual champion, Kevin Elston of Elmira-Southside 5-0, sending him to the opposite side of the consola­tion bracket from Licata.

Licata won his first wrestleback on a forfeit, then pinned Enron Knowles of Athens. In the quarterfinals, he defeated Ben Mead of Whitehall with a 12-7 deci­sion before scoring a technical fall over Stan Madden of Ix>ckport, setting up a meeting with Sommers for third place.

As in the first match, Licata scored early points nnd built nn 8-2 lend in the third period before Sommers scored n reversnl nnd n takedown. Licntn held on nnd defented Sommers 8-6 to gnin the revenge.

B r o c k p o r t n lso had a finalist in the 1771b. class. Bill D'Ambra pinned Hilton's Mike Mitchell in 4:05, then whipped Knowles, pinning him in :11. He gained the finals by defeating Tony Hernandez of Lancaster 7-2. Elston would defeat D'Ambra in the finals 10-5 ns a late rush

Vacation workouts pay off for Spencerport

by T i m I r v i n g

Spencerpor t girl 's volleyball coach Karen Storm remarked after their Jan­uary 4 match with Churchville, "I would have had a hard time justifying the hard workouts if we hadn' t won in three."

The Rangers worked diligently over the vacation and tried to make the Saints pay for their work.

The first game appeared ready for overtime. Churchville went ahead 11-10 before Betsy Hubbard s tar ted connect­ing. Two kills brought the Rangers ahead

p Saints in thn 13-11. A block by Carl a Flagg and a kill by Robin Martin tied the score.

Spencerpor t got the ball back and Martin j u s t missed on a hit to put the Rangers a t game point . Kelly Moore misfired and the Rangers had a 15-13 game under their belts.

The second game did go to overtime. The combination of Flagg and Debbie Hoak ofT-set the threesome of Hubbard, Kelli Kavanaugh and Wendy Austin and the game was tied a t 12-12. A Spencer­port er ror p u t the Sa in t s up 13-12. Flagg's kill sent the Saints to game point. But a net violation gave the Rangers the ball.

A Kavanaugh kill brought the Rangers within one. After a series of side outs, Connie Brott 's serve forced ?n error to even the score.

The Saints went ahead 15-14 on an ace

am by Stephanie Franke . The game went to 16-16 as Flagg and Austin exchanged kills.

An e r r an t pass put the Rangers at game point before Kavanaugh ' s spike ended the game 18-16.

The third game was back and forth as well. Churchville opened an 11-5 lead af­ter an ace by Julie Pelo. But Spencerport fought hard.

An ace by Hubbard rallied the Rangers to 9-11. After consecutive side outs , Hoak's kill and a misses by Kavanaugh and Jenny Weaver put the Saints at 14-9.

Kavanaugh took charge in a big way. After Storm called a time out, she had a monstrous solo block and a dump that lifted Spencerport to 14-11. Yet another block and a kill by Kavanaugh tied the score before a pair of unforced errors ended the match at 16-14.
