The Open Mat's 2010 Cheesehead Preview

TOM’s 2010 Cheesehead Preview
Published on December 27, 2010 by viratas · 2 Comments Field Features Top Individuals, Teams

Willie Saylor, Editor

The Cheesehead, staged at Kaukauna High School in Wisconsin has become one of the premier prep wrestling competitions.

Last year’s tournament included four of our Top20 teams and an honorable mention, while this year’s field ups that to seven of the Top20.

With last year’s edition of The Cheesehead, held on the first two days of 2010, and this year’s tournament slated for the last two, maybe it’s poetic that Blair Academy gets a shot at redemption in the same calendar year.

To understand how we got to a place that has the most sincere national title implications, let’s revisit how this year’s field culminated.

Blair (NJ), then ranked #1 in the country, won the 2009 Ironman and looked to be on the precipice of yet another team title as the best squad in the country. Meanwhile, then-#2Apple Valley (MN) was rolling along, posting tournament victories at The Cheesehead and The Clash. So when then-#3St. Paris-Graham (OH) upset Blair in their dual, TheOpenMat amed Apple Valley the new top dog in the land, and subsequently 2010 National Champions.

With AV having almost their entire squad back and being the incumbent titlist, they were a no-brainer to begin this year as the Preseason #1. What did that mean for the Cheesehead?

For Blair to unseat Valley they’d need to knock them off head-to-head. Coach Buxton and the Bucs chose to attempt that in Wisconsin.

And with the Cheesehead’s unique hybrid tournament bracketing and scoring system, extrapolating tournament points is a dynamic situation. With credit given for places 9th and lower, The Cheesehead measures not only tournament-team prowess, but also dual-like balance.

In TOM’s Official 2010 Cheesehead Preview, we’ll list the competitors from all 24 schools at each weight, highlighting the contenders and their achievements and making our picks.

Follow along with us as we prepare for what figures to be an interesting competition, and a compelling argument for national supremacy.

And stay tuned for our continuing coverage which will include game-day live blogs and daily recaps.

***NOTE: With registration not yet completed, some line-up changes may occur. Check back for updates throughout the day Tuesday.




Weight Class Capsules:

**TOM National rank preceds name, state rank follows.**

Team Legend: Apple Valley (AV), Archbishop Moeller (AM), Arrowhead Union (AU), Blair Academy (BA), Clovis, (CLO), Deforest (DEF), Hartford (HAR), Kaukauna (KKA), Kennesaw Mountain (KM), Kenyon-Wananmingo (KW), Lockport (LP), Marmion Academy (MA), Milton (MIL), Montini Catholic (MC), Muskego (MUS), Pewaukee (PWK), Plainfield Central (PC), Port Washington (PW), Sheboygan Falls (SF), Simley (SIM), Stoughton (STO), Wisconsin Rapids (WR), Wrightstown (WTN), Wyoming Seminary (WS), Yorkville (YRK)

103
LY Final: Jordan Kingsley, AV, dec. Joe Umlauf, Wasau West, 2-1

The Field:
AV: Seth Gross, #2
BA: #6 Joey McKenna
CLO: Andy Ia
HAR: #16 Bobby Nachreiner , #2
KKA: Riley Refke
MA: #12 Johnny Jimenez, #2
MC: Tommy Pawleski, #9
SIM: #8 Klye Gliva, #2
WR: Jason Munoz, #1
WS: Tyler Ponte

Notes:

There’s been a good deal of anticipation for Valley’s Gross, who’s supposed to be very talented. He’s yet to get down to 103, but will be here.

Joey McKenna, the highest ranked in this field, has been wrestling lights-out. He’s this summer’s Cadet Greco Champ, and is coming off a Beast of the East finals appearance.

Also wrestling well is Johnny Jimenez who won the Dvorak in a weight that had three nationally ranked participants.
Nachreiner is back down at 103 after starting the year at 112. He’s won several Fargo medals and was this year’s Fila Cadet GR Champ with a win over McKenna.

Kyle Gliva was 5th here last year and is a 2x Fargo All-American.

Watch to see how Clovis’ Andy Ia does. He’s a senior and hasn’t been able to crack the line-up until now. He’s been stuck behind state ranked wrestlers his entire career. He could prove to be a force.

TOM’s Picks: 1.McKenna 2. Jimenez 3. Gliva

112
LY Final: Dom Malone, WS, dec. Juan Torres, Simley, 6-1

The Field:
AV: #20 Jordan Kinglsey, #1
BA: HM Max Hvolbeck
CLO: Jonas Gaytan
MA: #4 Jared Cortez, #1
MIL: John Wells, #1
MUS: Tyler Sinda, #6
PC: Nick Naseberry, #5
WTN: Brett Beuchler, #2
WS: Evan Botwin

Notes:
The headliner here is Cortez, your Fargo Cadet Champ. He placed 3rd at the Ironman, but sat out the Dvorak for undisclosed reasons. Hopefully we get to see him at Cheesehead.

Kingsley has been wrestling well. He just won the Minnesota Christmas tournament with an impressive 8-2 decision over nationally recognized Nate Thomas.

Hvolbeck is also a formidable foe and is coming off place-finishes at both the Ironman and Beast.
Gaytan was a state qualifier last year, and has the talent to make noise here.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Cortez 2. Hvolbeck 3. Kingsley

119
LY Final: Rossi Bruno, Brandon, dec. Dakota Trom, AV, 3-2

The Field:
AV: Derek Scott, #5
AM: Brian MacVeigh
BA: #9Caleb Richardson
CLO: Daniel Gaytan, #1
KKA: Austin Hietpas
KW: Mitchell Lexvold
LP: Tony Rossi
MA: George Fisher, #2
MC: HM Kevon Powell, #6
PC: Nathan Davis, #5
SIM: Pedro Delao
WS: #6Dom Malone
YRK: Adam Wyeth

Notes:
A very nice group here with two Top10 kids and California’s #1.

Malone is a National Prep and Ironman finalist. He beat Richardson in a close one for 3rd at the Beast.
Kevon Powell was 3rd here last year at 103, but has yet to compete this season.

Watch out for Nathan Davis, who made the Dvorak semifinals, but didn’t make weight for Day II there.
Gaytan was 3rd in Cali states last year.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Malone 2. Richardson 3. Gaytan

125
LY Final: Johnni Di Julius, Walsh Jesuit, dec. Matt Kelliher, AV, 2-1

The Field:
AV: #5Dakota Trom, #1
BA: #3Mark Grey
CLO: Devin Everk, #12
KM: Chris Murdock, #5
MA: Eddie Greco, #1
MUS: Justin Schurkenbach, #2
MC: Michael Sepke, #2
MIL: Landon Shea, #6
PW: Justin Meins, #3
SIM: HM Juan Torres, #2
STO: Nick Urso, #8
WS: Tyler Fraley

Notes:
The two at the top are clear leaders here. Both #3Grey and #5Trom have dropped to 125 and have significant and lengthy national credentials.

While Juan Torres’ results are up-and-down, I’m a fan. I like his talent and his potential to do well here.

Sepke, and Meins, and Schurkenbach, all ranked 2nd in their respective state classes, placed here last year.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Grey 2. Trom 3. Schurkenbach

130
LY Final: Nate Skonieczny, Walsh Jesuit, dec. Colton Rasche, Montini, 6-2

The Field:
AV: Mark Hall
AU: Adam Yde
BA: #14 Todd Preston
CLO: Juan Salas, #7
LP: #13Jameson Oster, #2
MA: #3Ben Whitford, #1
SIM: Cola Jensen, #6
WR: Jake Jaborek

Notes:
Mark Hall might be the talk of the country right now. The oft-traveled prodigy made waves this summer when he beat CA state champion, Alex Cisneros, and again last week when he beat nationally ranked Ben Morgan.

He’s the real deal. But expectations for this competition should be quelled. Meet Ben Whitford, who just might be the best young wrestler in the country. He was your Fargo Champ in the summer, and most recently, your Ironman Champ.

Should Hall do well here, we’ll know he’s ready for primetime NOW. This is a great bracket with, in addition to those already mentioned, Yde, who was 4th here a year ago, Preston, who places in everything, Oster, a 2x state finalist, and a host of depth.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Whitford 2. Oster 3. Preston

135
LY Final: Jake Sueflohn, Arrowhead, dec. Alex Dierenger, Port Washington, 10-6

The Field:
AV: #5Matt Kelliher, #1
AU: Luke Berenz
BA: #2Austin Ormsbee
MA: HM Bryce Brill, #3
MC: Drew Vrbenec, #9
SIM: Mack Short
WR: Keegan Einerson, #5
YRK: Conner Bass, #5

Notes:
Another solid weight here with two nationally ranked guys and three more that are Top5 in their state.

Ormsbee was a finalist at Ironman, Beast and Fargo. Kelliher was a finalist at the Christmas Tournament and Fargo.
Brill is your young gun of the group. He was Runner-Up at Fargo Cadets down at 119.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Ormsbee 2. Kelliher 3. Brill

140
LY Final: Devin Scott, Apple Valley, dec. Jed Lightfoot, Yorkville, 5-2

The Field:
AV: #7Brandon Kingsley, #1
AU: #5Jake Sueflohn, #2
BA: Russ Parsons
CLO: Brady Bersano, #12
HAR: Nick Becker, #1
LP: Chris Tragos, #12
MA: Angelo Silvestro, #4
SIM: #6 Jake Short, #1
WR: Jake Raflik, #2
WS: Cole Fulk

Notes:
Along with 152, this is your premier bracket. Three Top10’s highlight the field, including last year’s OW. #5Jake Sueflohn earned top honors last year after knocking off two ranked individuals.

Short and Kingsley are sitting, nationally, at 6 and 7. The two met last week with Short earning a first period fall.
It will be very interesting to see how the seeds shake out. You’d think Short and Kingsley would meet in semi’s, behind a 1-seeded Sueflohn.

Not to be overlooked is Angelo Silvestro, who just made a Dvorak finals appearance, and Becker, Wisconsin’s #1 who I think will surprise some here.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Sueflohn 2. Kingsley 3.Short

145
LY Final: Joey Uccardi, Plainfield, dec. Clark Glass, Brandon, 5-1

The Field:
AV: HM Dan Woiwer, #1
KM: Alex Bremner, #4
MC: Frank Baer, #1
PW: #1Alex Dierenger, #1
SIM: Nick Wanzek, #2
WR: HM Rylan Lubeck, #3
YRK: Clayton Bass, #11

Notes:
A balanced group with 5 wrestlers in the Top3 of their respective states.

Fargo Junior National Freestyle Champion, Dierenger is the class of the field.

He’ll be pushed by state champion, Woiwer and state runners-up Wanzek and Lubeck.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Dierenger 2. Lubeck 3. Woiwer

152
LY Final: Destin McCauley, AV, dec. Joey Cozart, Brandon, 6-5

The Field:
AV: #1Destin McCauley, #1
BA: Patrick Coover
CLO: Colby Thompson
HAR: Bryar Harper, #4
KM: #14Jonathan Rivera, #1
MC: Shaun’Que McMurtry, #6
MA: Eddie Breen, #8
MC: #12Stephen Robertson, #2
WR: Kasey Einerson, #2
WTN: Jackson Fox, #5
WS: #19Eric Morris
YRK: Steve Pozeg, #5

Notes:
A very deep and balanced weight here.

McCauley, the defending Cheesehead Champ, is your leader and may represent the best recruit in the Class of 2011.
Morris, is tough to score on and has been posting great performances over the last year. He is a National Prep, Fargo, and Beast Runner-Up.

Robertson is another guy wrestling extremely well. He beat Morris in Ironman semi’s and won the Dvorak last week.
Again, seeding will be very intriguing as there’s one more absolute stud waiting in the wings.

Jonathan Rivera, who was 1st and 3rd in his last two state tournaments, is a fine athlete. He was this year’s Super32 Runner-Up, posting a 6-0 win over Ohio’s Felipe Martinez in the semi’s.

Don’t sleep on the others listed, however. Although there are clear leaders here, and placing highly will be tough, there are several high-class guys here. Harper, Einerson, and Fox, are guys I’m particularly keeping an eye on.

TOM’s Picks: 1. McCauley 2. Robertson 3. Rivera

160
LY Final: Steven Keogh, AV, dec. Chris Moon, WS, 5-3

The Field:
AV: #5 Steven Keogh, #1
CLO: Blake Thompson, #9
LP: Tyler Ledbetter, #10
MC: Dmitri Willis, #2
PWK: Nathan Knutson, #5
SIM: HM Dan Dick, #1
WR: HM Zak Benitz, #3
YRK: AJ Messinger, #5

Notes:
One of the country’s best 160lbers, and Minnesota Gopher recruit, Steven Keogh, has been nursing an injury all year. He’ll be in action at the Cheesehead, but it will be interesting to see just how effective he is.

Simley’s Dan Dick has been perennially competitive, as a state runner-up and Fargo AA.

The same can be said of Benitz, who’s looking to make a statement and jump into the next echelon of recognition.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Keogh 2. Benitz 3. Dick

171
LY Final: Noah Budi, Kaukauna, dec. Jake Waste, AV, 6-2 OT

The Field:
AV: #15Jake Waste, #1
BA: Addison Knepshield
CLO: #7 Zach Nevills, #1
SIM: Micah Barnes, #2
WR: Ryan Cone, #2

Notes:
There’s just a small group of contenders here, but there should be some fireworks and tight battles.

Conventional wisdom says it’s a Waste-Nevills battle. But guys like Barnes, another Simley state runner-up, and Cone are more than capable of hanging with the big dogs.

Knepshield was an Ironman placer earlier this month.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Nevills 2. Barnes 3. Waste

189
LY Final: Eric Nelson, Stoughton, dec. Mike Ettore, Brandon, 2-1

The Field:
AV: Matt Hechsel, #1
AU: Shane Hughes, #3
KM: Rashaud Moore, #5
LP: Brad Johnson #1
MUS: #19 Roland Dunlap, #2
WR: #3Devin Peterson, #1
YRK: Brant Corwin, #5

Notes:
89 at the Cheesehead has me excited. The top two guys here are both from Dairyland. Peterson is one of the premier guys at the weight, and one of the top 2012 recruits. Dunlap’s only loss at his state tournament came to the eventual champ, and Dunlap wrestled back to 3rd.

Both of Hughes’ losses in that same state bracket came at the hands of Peterson and Dunlap.

I’m also interested in getting a good look at Johnson, who is the top-ranked guy in Illinois’ 3A class.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Dunlap 2. Peterson 3. Johnson

215
LY Final: Zach Baldwin, Brandon, dec. Chase Letson, Milton, 2-1

The Field:
BA: Willie Wilson
CLO: Taylor Ferguson, #3
LP: Shaquille McMurtry #2
MUS: Jordan Gruettner, #1
WR: Erik Vruwink
WS: AJ Vizcarrando

Notes:
Gruettner, a state runner-up, looks to improve on his 4th place Cheesehead performance from a year ago.

Vizcarrando is an NHSCA season finalist as a Sophomore and, in his first action of the season last week, placed 3rd at the Beast.

Taylor Ferguson won the Zinkin Classic last week.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Ferguson 2. Vizcarrando 3. Gruettner

HWT
LY Final: Mike McMullan, WS, wbf. Henry Chrino, Brandon, 5:19

The Field:
AV: Harold Delancey
BA: #1Brooks Black
CLO: HM Nick Nevills
MA: Alex Fritz, #6
MC: Ross Ferraro, #1
SIM: Matt Kadrlik, #4
WR: HM Curt Fuller, #2
WS: #18Terrance Jean-Jacques

Notes:
A great crop of heavies on tap for the Cheesehead, including the #1 big guy in all the land.

Black has swept Fargo, Ironman, and the Beast.

Jean-Jacques has been in the mix in everything he’s entered as well, placing 4th at Ironman before losing to Black in the Beast finals.

It will be interesting to see if Fuller makes the next step in his progression. Last year, as a junior, he was in the mix at several tournaments . Ferraro, Illinois #1 in 3A, is in the similar mold.

Nevills is receiving a lot of hype. And for good reason. He’s a talented young freshman, and just won the Zinkin with a final’s major. We’ll see how he fares rolling with the bog dogs.

TOM’s Picks: 1. Black 2. Nevills 3. Jean-Jacques

Team Race
In case you missed it, there are seven ranked teams here: #1Apple Valley (MN), #3Blair Academy (NJ), #6Wyoming Seminary (PA), #9Marmion Academy (IL), #11Wisconsin Rapids (WI), #12Simley (MN), and #18 Clovis (CA).

Needless to say, jockeying for position will be hotly contested. Who has the horses to outpace the others?

In hybrid scoring system that rewards points for each of the 25 places, it will be a tall order to displace AV from the top step. If anyone can do it, it looks to be Blair, who have legitimate title contenders in half the weight classes.

If the Bucs can get solid production from their mid-tier guys from 140 through 215, they very well could take home the title.

They seem to be the clearest of favorites. While Wyoming Seminary has impressive balance, they were considerably outdistanced by Blair at both the Ironman and Cheesehead. The Knights appear to be in the next tier of squads in a race for 3rd through 7th that could end up in any number of outcomes.

Marmion, which has placed highly at the Ironman (4th) and is coming off a Dvorak title, could be built for this type of scoring. They have several guys (four to five) that will be in title contention. It’s there next group that might not be able to keep pace enough to propel Marmion to the title.

The X-factor in this tournament will be Clovis. Their upperweights are phenomenal and should keep them hanging around the top teams. Anything they get beyond the top seven (based on rankings) would be considered a mild upset. The Cougars have the ability to play the spoiler role here. If guys like Bersano, Thompson, and Salas, and both Gaytans wrestle at a high level (and they can), they could very well throw a monkey wrench into the designs of other squads.

By far the most complaints in the national team rankings come from the factions of loyal Rapids and Simley fans. And they might have a legitimate gripe. Both squads have an incredibly balanced line-up. The reservations, especially at a tournament like this is, where are the title contenders. Both Simley and Rapids have, on paper, what appears to be less individual title threats than others. But that’s why they wrestle the matches. The Cheesehead will answer a great deal of questions about these two squads, and in their place in the national picture.

Hollister Champions!

Let's Take Two, Cougars Roll to Double Championships

Just hours after claiming the Clovis West Shootout Championship, the "other" not-so-second-team Clovis squad in Hollister survied a roller-coaster ride to the tournament championship! In a dual that more resembled an MMA superfight than a wrestling match, the young squad out-lasted Atascadero 37-36, with Ryan Davies dominating one of the Southern Section's top-ranked wrestlers at 189lbs to secure the team victory in the second to last match of the dual. The Cougars never looked back as they rolled 55-15 over San Benito, the host team, in the finals.

It's not the first time the Cougars have pulled off the "double", but it surely never gets old! Two teams, two titles. Congrats boys!

More details to follow.

2011 Clovis West Shootout Champs

Clovis Takes Shootout, 4th Year in a Row!

The Cougars showed up in full force this weekend, dominating their way to a 4th consecutive Clovis West Shootout title, upending Vacaville in the final match 49-21. The Cougars never had a close match, winning each dual by at least 27 points with 2 shutouts! Five Cougars earned All-Tournament honors including Jason Ladd (140), Brady Bersano (145), Blake Thompson (160), Zach Nevills (189), and Nick Nevills (285). The Cougars have now won a whopping 45 dual matches in a row and look to reach the half century mark by season's end. If the Cougars can close out the year with 5 more league dual wins, the 2011 Senior class will have finished their high school careers never facing a dual defeat!

Clovis 46 - Bella Vista 19
Clovis 55 - Victor Valley 15

Warm Ups & Singlets Handed Out

Attn Parents:

Warms ups, Singlets & Travel Bags were handed out yesterday. For any new parents, please wash the Warm ups and Singlets in cold water and hang to dry. These were very expensive uniforms and want them to last as long as possible. Your son was "assigned" this gear and is expected to be returned at the end of the season. This includes the personal singlets as well, except for seniors who will keep the personal singlets.

Just a FYI... SAVE THE DATE - Doc B is January 7th & 8th and parent help is needed! If you need to schedule vacation (like me) might want to do now.

Looking forward to a great season with our wrestling family!!

Clovis Nationally Ranked (again)

Clovis High School shows up in all the major pre-season polls for the national rankings.

AWN
17. Clovis

Intermat
16. Clovis

WIN Magazine
15. Clovis

The Open Mat (with write-up)
19. Clovis, CA
Final ’09-’10 Ranking: #12

Strength: Duals and Shallow Tournaments

Key Losses:
Tommy Burriel, 189

Key Additions:
Andy Ia, 103
Nick Nevills, HWT (Freshman)

Overview:
Perennially competitive, Clovis will trot out another line-up almost devoid of holes as they return 8 state qualifiers. They don’t quite have the top-flight guys to upend in-state foes Bakersfield or Selma in deep tournaments, but with their balance, they’re undeniably one of the Cali’s best dual squads. The ended last season at #12, and while SRU Burriel will be a big loss, their drop to 20th has less to do with him, than it does the emergence of some new programs hitting their strides. Clovis will be good, like always.

Key Starters:

* 112 So. Jonas Gaytan (SQ)
* 119 Jr. Daniel Gaytan (SP)
* 130 Sr. Juan Salas (SQ)
* 135 Jr. Devin Everk (SQ)
* 140 Sr. Brady Bersano (SQ)
* 152 Sr. Blake Thompson (SQ)
* 160 So. Adrian Salas
* 171 #6 Jr. Zach Nevills (SRU)
* 215 Sr. Taylor Ferguson (SQ)
* HWT Fr. Nick Nevills

2011 Season Preview

The 2011 high school wrestling season is just around the corner and it promises to be another exciting year for California’s most successful all-time program. The Clovis Cougars enter the season ranked once again in the Top 5 in the state after finishing as such the last 4 seasons. Coming off of a 3rd place State finish, only two years removed from a State Championship, the team looks to challenge again for a California State Championship and continue their winning ways including the continuance of their back-to-back-to back championships for both the TRAC League and the Central Section. The team carries a 39-match dual win streak lasting over 4 seasons into 2011 and 8 returning state qualifiers in addition to a nucleus of young talent set to make an immediate impact at the highest level.

2011 returning state qualifiers include:
• Daniel Gaytan – Junior – 2x medalist
• Zach Nevills – Junior – 2x medalist
• Juan Salas – Senior
• Brady Bersano – Senior
• Blake Thompson – Senior
• Taylor Ferguson – Senior
• Devin Everk – Junior
• Jonas Gaytan – Sophomore

Clovis leads nearly every category on the all-time state list including:
• Most Team State Championships – 8
• Most Top 5 Team Finishes – 22
• Most Individual State Champions – 21
• Most Individual State Medalists – 104

Pre-Season State Top 10 Teams (alphabetical order):
Bakersfield
Buchanan
Calvary Chapel-Santa Ana
Clovis
Clovis West
De La Salle
Lemoore
Oakdale
Poway
Selma

**As of this writing, no weight classes are determined yet. These previews are designed to highlight the team and individual wrestlers vying for each staring spot in 2011.**

103
2010 Starter: Jonas Gaytan
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 6th Central Section
Wrestling is a family sport and ‘Gaytan’ has been a household name at 103 for Clovis the last several years. This year is no exception as freshman Julian Gaytan joins the squad from Clark Junior High and will vie for the spot to continue the family’s successes in the lower weight classes. He’ll be more than challenged by senior, Andy Ia, a 3-year member of the program who has played second fiddle to some excellent Cougar wrestlers the past 3 seasons (Madison Gambrell ’08, Daniel Gaytan ’09, Jonas Gaytan ‘10) and is hungry for a shot at the post-season. Thanks to Coach Kenny Martinez and the Clark Junior High program, additional incoming high school ready talent will be available with freshman Dominic Martinez and fellow freshman Matt Czeshinski. Add in sophomore Matt Herrera to the mix and you have a great, but typical, battle for the starting spot at Clovis High School where the term ‘varsity’ usually runs at least 3 deep.

112
2010 Starter: Daniel Gaytan
2010 Result: 3rd State
Daniel Gaytan was a staple of the program the last two years and filled this weight class nicely last season, recording a 3rd place finish at the State Championships. Sophomore, and cousin, Jonas Gaytan will be moving up to the 112lbs weight class this season and looks to improve on a very solid freshman campaign. Despite having beaten 4 of the 8 eventual state medalists from a year ago at 103lbs, he was left off the podium in March and looks to make some adjustments for a more consistent year and a strong finish. After a very successful off-season, Jonas will be a force at 112lbs for the Cougars. He’ll be pushed by sophomore Xesus Velarde who saw some 1st team action last season at 103lbs and continues to improve.

119
2010 Starter: Devin Everk
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 2nd Central Section
Look for two-time state medal winner Daniel Gaytan to make another jump in weight to occupy the 119lbs weight class. After two Top 4 state finishes but no finals appearances, Daniel had an excellent off-season and will be looking to get a shot at the raised platform in March and bring home a State Championship. Sophomore Lane McAlester has worked hard in the off-season to develop himself into a varsity-ready 119lbs wrestler for the program; this after placing at varsity tournaments a year ago. Also challenging at this weight will be junior Zach Gilman who wrestled some varsity action in his sophomore season.

125
2010 Starter: Juan Salas
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 4th Central Section
In one of the most hotly contested weight classes, at least 3 very good wrestlers will compete for the starting job in 2011. Junior Vicente Hernandez has put in an outstanding off-season and has already recorded wins over previous state qualifiers from a year ago. Sophomore Jason Ladd was equally impressive and had a very successful freshman season. Senior Gage Freeman has wrestled behind names like Gaytan and Gambrell his first three years and is ready to take the reigns as a starter this season. Freshman Marlon Watkins will look to gain valuable experience in his first high school season and provide additional support at this weight class.

130
2010 Starter: Sonny Cervantes
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 4th Central Section
The Cougars look to improve at this weight class from a year ago and senior Juan Salas should provide the necessary work ethic to get another shot at a state medal after falling only one match short a season prior. Like most Cougar weight classes, it will not come easy as he’ll be pushed by a trio of young talent. Junior Matt Gay and sophomore Connor Callaway will rejoin the squad after respective successful off-seasons. Freshman Sergio Enloe may be the wildcard after a very good junior high career, outstanding work ethic, and intense desire to get into a starting position. Regardless of the outcome, the team will be well represented at the weight for this season and years to come.

135
2010 Starter: Christian Velarde
2010 Result: Yosemite Divisional Qualifier
Senior Christian Velarde jumped into this weight class last year on very short notice and nearly recorded a Yosemite Divisional medal. This season junior Devin Everk will likely move up several weight classes from his starting spot last season to fill the void at the 135lbs. After an intense battle for the starting job, Everk got the nod and made the most of his opportunity by reaching the Central Section Championship finals and qualifying for the State Championships. This year, he’ll look to improve on that finish by making his second State Championship appearance and bringing home some hardware. Another member of the strong incoming class, freshman Alberto Jauregui, will challenge Everk for the spot and provide support at the weight class.

140
2010 Starter: Brady Bersano
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 4th Central Section
A true testament to diligence and patience, senior Brady Bersano didn’t look to have much of a shot at a starting job at this time last season, let alone a Yosemite Divisional finals appearance. But after a few unexpected events and a lot of hard work on his part, Brady earned the starting job late in the season and made his first trip to the State Championships. He’ll look to cap his senior season with a state medal and become one of the stories of largest career improvement in Clovis High School history. It won’t come easy however as he’ll be pushed by a pair of freshman in Brody Brand and Dru Everk.

145
2010 Starter: Adrian Salas
2010 Result: 7th Yosemite Division
One of only two weight classes that did not qualify for the State Championships last season for Clovis, two upperclassmen look to have the upper hand on this year’s opportunity. Junior Chase Bohny narrowly missed out on a starting spot a season ago and likely would have qualified for the State Championships had he been given the nod. Senior Christian Velarde will move up two weight classes after getting a last-second insertion last year and challenge for the spot full-time. Both will be pushed by junior Jake Cap who saw varsity action in 2010 and sophomore Mac Teare who’s improved in the off-season and is ready to fill varsity-sized shoes.

152
2010 Starter: Blake Thompson
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 4th Central Section
Another of the most wide-open weight classes, many young talents will try to secure the starting job in 2011. Junior Tyler White is the eldest of the bunch and has some varsity experience from his first two seasons. He’ll be challenged by a pair of freshman in Zach Lawson and Brandon Barnes, both future stars for the Cougars who put in great off-seasons coming into their freshman year.

160
2010 Starter: Tyler Ceremello
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 3rd Central Section
A state qualifier from a year ago, senior Blake Thompson will likely move up to fill the 160lbs spot. After gaining his first trip to the State Championships last season, he’ll be looking to finish his career with a medal in 2011. In a very competitive weight however, Thompson will be pushed by a pair of accomplished wrestlers: sophomore Adrian Salas and junior (and brother) Colby Thompson. Adrian Salas was one match from qualifying for the State Championships last season at 145lbs while Colby Thompson was a neck & neck competitor for that same starting spot. All three of these wrestlers will see lots of varsity action and may end up jostling to find their way into the lineup. Look for two sophomores to provide additional support at the weight class in Tyson Perez and Ben Prandini.

171
2010 Starter: Zach Nevills
2010 Result: 2nd State
Zach Nevills will likely be back at the weight for the third time in as many seasons where he has established himself as a name in California wrestling. After two state medals, including a runner-up finish in 2010, Nevills will set his sights squarely on nothing less than a State Championship in 2011. Though it sounds unlikely, Nevills put in a great off-season of wrestling and is a much improved wrestler in several areas, potentially spelling trouble for the competition as he was already amongst the state’s elite. He represents the lone Cougar wrestler at 171lbs.

189
2010 Starter: Tommy Burriel
2010 Result: 2nd State
The biggest loss from a season ago comes at 189lbs where 3x state medalist and scholarship athlete Tommy Burriel has taken his talents to Arizona State University. Looking to fill those enormous shoes are a pair of juniors who have already experienced a lot of high level success. Junior Ryan Davies has spent the previous two seasons behind Zach Nevills, and now looks to make his own name at 189lbs. Davies placed at several varsity tournaments, beat a few state qualifiers, and won a 75-team varsity tournament last season. Junior Dakota Gordon was at 160lbs and pulled off a lot of the same feats, placing in several varsity tournaments and besting a few eventual state qualifiers in the process. Both will be pushed by sophomore Sam Zegarelli giving the team a lot of depth at 189lbs.

215
2010 Starter: Taylor Ferguson
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 3rd Central Section
Senior Taylor Ferguson is back and ready to pick up where he left off from a season ago, narrowly missing a state medal by a single match. He’ll be a true 215lbs wrestler this season after a great off-season nutrition program from the team dietician and has his eyes set on the State Finals. Senior Orem Camarena will provide depth at the weight class and looks to earn a few varsity medals in his fourth season with the program. Freshman Matt Weiss had an outstanding junior high career and will quickly adjust to high school wrestling, likely a star of the future for the Cougars.

285
2010 Starter: Max Howard
2010 Result: State Qualifier, 7th Central Section
One of the largest improvements at a weight class this season may take an unlikely form, replacing a senior state qualifier for a freshman heavyweight. However, Nick Nevills, brother of Zach Nevills, looks to make it a reality as he gets his first opportunity at the big boys after an undefeated junior high career. Rarely, if not never, is a freshman ready to battle with juniors and seniors at heavyweight, but Nevills should be up to the challenge and more. But before that, Nevills will be pushed in the room by former Clark wrestler sophomore Ricky Temple who is back after spending a year out-of-state.

COACHES
The core of the Clovis staff is intact and ready for another great season. Steve Tirapelle will guide his 14th Clovis squad with help from invaluable assistants Ben Holscher, back for a 5th season, and son Adam Tirapelle, back for his 7th year with the program. Also returning are key staff members Eric LeGarreta, Scott Moore, Nara Sihavong, Pete Samhammer, and Sean Carlson. Leading Clark Junior High for the 2nd straight season is veteran coach Kenny Martinez who looks to continue their winning ways, along with the help of Sergio Enloe Sr., in his second season with the junior high program.

Alex Tirapelle new assistant wrestling coach at Stanford

STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford head wrestling coach Jason Borrelli is pleased to announce Alex Tirapelle as the new assistant wrestling coach.

Tirapelle joins the Cardinal after spending two seasons as an assistant at UC Davis. Prior to working with the Aggies, he spent seven years at the University of Illinois as a student-athlete, graduate student and member of the academic advising staff.

Tirapelle twice earned All-America status, captured two Big Ten titles and was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Year in 2004. As a freshman in 2003, he finished as the national runner-up and earned Illinois Freshman Male Athlete of the Year honors in the process. Tirapelle finished his career as the all-time wins leader with 128, while ranking second with an .877 winning percentage.

"I am very excited to welcome Alex to our coaching staff and to the Stanford wrestling family," said Borrelli. "There was a very large interest in the position, but it was very clear that Alex was the perfect fit for us. Growing up in a wrestling family, Alex brings a lifetime of wrestling experience and knowledge to our program, and will be a huge asset from a technical standpoint as well."

Along with his impressive athletic career, Tirapelle racked up several academic honors. He was a Big Ten All-Academic honoree all four years, plus a first-team All-Academic selection by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) and first-team ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American. In addition, Tirapelle earned an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Award.

Tirapelle devoted one year as a graduate assistant and another as an academic counselor in academic services at Illinois. In his last two seasons in Champaign, he worked on his master's degree in sport management while serving as academic advisor for the Fighting Illini softball and wrestling teams. Tirapelle also kept his hand in the coaching arena, working as a summer-camp counselor and instructor for the wrestling team.

Tirapelle was also a standout at Clovis High School in Clovis, Calif., where he won three state titles and a national title. He hails from a wrestling family: his father Stephen was a Division II All-American and head coach at Clovis HS, his older brother Adam won the 2001 NCAA title at 149 pounds, and his younger brother Troy was a national qualifier and Big Ten runner-up in 2006.
"Additionally, his connections within the state of California are invaluable as we work to build the best wrestling program in the nation with California high school wrestlers," said Borrelli.

The entire coaching staff is looking forward to another great wrestling season.  The depth we have throughout each weight class makes it tough to predict who will represent Clovis High School in post-season competition. Student athletes are encouraged to manage their diet throughout the year by eating healthy and smart.  Eliminate sodas, desserts and fast food from your daily diet.  It will pay off.

Team CA Central Valley takes the first America's Cup

Team Central Valley (CA) wins first NUWAY Americas Cup 35-15



The first Americas Cup National Wrestling Dual was contested over two days in Fullerton California on Friday June 4th and then on Saturday June 5th at Clovis High in Clovis CA 12 grueling duals over two days left team Central Valley as the last teams standing. In the championship match between team JWAY (NJ) and SCWAY/Central Valley (CA) we were treated to some of the best high school wrestling California has seen in a long time. The takedowns, scrambles and just sheer mental toughness was a treat for all who attended or bought the PPV.



The championship dual started off extremely well for team JWAY as they won the first three matches. JWAY’s Anthony Asholt started the JWAY run by beating Ian Nickell 2-0 giving JWAY a 3-0 lead. He was followed by teammate Troy Heilmans Victory over Vincent Gomez making the JWAY lead 6-0. In one of the most hard fought and unexpected matches the night Kyle Cosaletto beat 2X California State Champion Alex Cisneros 6-4 in sudden victory this match was one people who saw will remember for the wild first round scrambles that left the score 0-0 going into the second round. Cisneros chose down and after a few more scrambles was able to reverse Cosaletto for a two point lead Cosaletto then reversed Cisneros and was able to ride him out for a 2-2 tie going into the third with Cosaletto having his choice. Cisneros rides Coseletto for about a minute then decides to cut him loose to trail by one with about :40 seconds left Cisneros gets in on single and was able to finish for the takedown giving him a one point lead. Not wilting to the pressure of wrestling the #3 ranked wrestler in the country Cosaletto kept wrestling and was able to escape to tie the score and force sudden victory. In the extra session Cosaletto was able to score off a Cisneros leg attempt for the victory that sent the JWAY team and fans into a frenzy as he just knocked off the #3 ranked wrestler in the country and gave his team a lead of 9-0. With team SCWAY needing points badly they sent out Indana bound Zach Zimmer to stop the JWAY run and the Senior did just that winning 6-1. SCWAY then sent out super freshman Isaah Martinez and he too was able to beat a tough JWAY opponent and bring life into the SCWAY team as now they just trailed by three 9-6. In one of the featured match-ups California State Champion and 3X place winner Nick Pena vs. NJ State Champion and undefeated Scott Festejo. This match is what wrestling is about though the score does not say it the action and intensity of this match was awesome. With the score tied 2-2 going into the third period Pena chose down and after many scrambles was finally able to get the escape and hold off the multiple attacks made by Festejo which brought the crowd to a roar as Pena had just tied the Dual 9-9. In a surprise move SCWAY chose to send out Timmy Box instead of Nathan Zarate and man did it pay off for team SCWAY right from the whistle Timmy Box’s offense was on scoring 3 takedowns and back points in the first and lead 8-2 after one. Not resting on his lead Box outscored his opponent again in the second to build his lead to 12-3 which put him in position to score a major decision but, he did not stop there he continued to push the action and was close to sealing the deal with a fall but had to settle for the tech-fall giving SCWAY its first lead of the dual. Team SCWAY continued their run with Spencer Hill posting a 5-3 win over Caamiah Bathea to push the lead to 17-9. Senior State Champion Nick Sierra showed why he was crowned the best in California with a win over Doug Cornell the NJ State Runner-Up which gave SCWAY a 20-9 lead. Like all runs it has to end some where and it did when JWAY’s Nick Visacaro 4X NHSCA AA and 2X NJ State champ beat Nikko Reyes 10-5 giving a breath of life back to JWAY and trimming the lead to 21-12. In the 171 pound match had NJ Runner –Up Caanan Bethea defeating Justin Lozano 9-3 which cut the SCWAY lead to 20-12. Then came California the other super sophmore Zach Nevills in what was going to be the swing match of this dual if he wins California could win the match with a win in either of the last two weights. As usual he delivered beating Omar Akel 5-2 building SCWAY’s lead to 23-15. Then like a good closer should Arizona State bound Tommy Burriel sealed the deal with a first period fall over AJ Mott making it 29-15. Not to be outdone HWT Louis Contraras scored his own fist period fall over Joe Nolan to end the dual at 35-15. Folks there was some amazing wrestlers and wrestling in his event. Thank you NUWAY’s Dave Dean, SCWAY’s Ernie Ciaccio and Adam Tirapelle as well as Cal State Fullerton and Clovis High for putting together and hosting some of the best wrestling this state has seen in a long time.
