Another weekend, another impressive showing by the north catholic wrestling team. north catholic earned 5 hard fought victories to come away with the team title at the abington duals. this marks the 3rd tournament trophy for the north catholic squad out of 4 tries (although an 8th place showing at the escape the rock was not too shabby!) here are scores from this weekend:
NC - 41 - Abington - 21
NC - 50 - Pottsgrove - 24
NC - 37 - Upper Moreland - 36*
NC - 51 - William Tennet - 18
NC - 39 - Plymouth Whitemarsh - 27
* the match with upper moreland was tied 36-36 after regulation. big pins by anthony white, aj vizcarrondo, and david davidson allowed us tie the score. nc won the match on the 8th criteria - most 1st points scored.
some notes from this weekend:
- Mike McCall, David Davidson, Anthony White, AJ Vizcarrondo, and Jeremy Reith all went 5-0 on the day.
- also of note: erik stankiewcz, tommy goodyear, will trainor, and tim maguire all went 4-1.
- anthony "technique tony" siwek got his first varsity pin.
- AJ Vizcarrondo ended the day with 29 takedown in this 5 matches.
- David Davidson was awarded the most outstanding wrestler for the day.
COUNTDOWN TO 100!
David Davidson and Mike McCall creeping up on the 100 win plateau. David has 94 and Mike currently has 93. Both wrestlers are wrestling extremely well right now and should eclipse the mark somewhere during their state tournament run.
NORTH WRESTLERS IN THE STATE RANKINGS
there used to be a time when a north wrestler in the southeastern pa rankings was big news. however, after being ignored most of the season, 5 north wrestlers are currently ranked in the top 25 in the state of Pennsylvania. The rankings are:
mike mccall - 19th @ 103
david davidson - 25th @ 125
anthony white - 7th @ 140
aj vizcarrondo - 15th @ 215
jeremy reith - 12th @ 285
all of these wrestlers have high goals and although a ranking now is nice, the only ranking that matters is the second week of march. i would not be surpised to see all 5 of these wrestlers on the podium in Hershey.
lastly, i would like to thank everyone who turned out for our beef-n-beer on saturday night. i was great as always to see many of our old parents and wrestlers. please keep the last saturday in april open of the north catholic alumni and friends of the program bash. more info to follow.....

The North Catholic wrestling team traveled up the northeast extension this weekend to attend the NHSCA Wrestling Festival held in Broadsheadville, PA. North competed in 5 duals and ended the day with a 3-2 record. North wrestled hard but were not able to overcome a lot of pins that were given up by our inexperienced wrestlers. Here are the match scores.....


North Catholic 49- Ponoco Mountain West - 24
North Catholic 37 - Emmaus - 40
North Catholic 49 - Central Bucks East - 24
North Catholic 29 - Stroudsburg 39
North Catholic 43 - East Stroudsburg South - 25
Some notes on the matches:
- Mike McCall, Erik Stankiewcz, David Davidson, Anthony White, and AJ Vizcarrondo all went 5-0 on the day for the varsity and Anthony "technique tony" siwek and Gary Robinson both went undefeated on jv
- David Davidson and Mike McCall increased their career win totals to 88 and 86 respectively. Both will have a chance to surpass 100 career wins by the end of the season.
- Gary Robinson went 1-0 in his only varsity match increasing his varsity record to 2-0.
- Gary also beat a wrestler from Blair Academy and Easton in the same day....
- Coach Rick lost us his first team point of the season and 5th for his career. he only has to get thrown out of 5 more tournaments and lose 13 more points to surpass the career totals of former coach Bill Hunter.
North wrestling returns to action this weekend. We wrestle Germantown Academy on friday night at GA and travel to Abington to compete in the postponed Abington Duals on Saturday.
WRESTLE-PALOOZA
yesterday, the north catholic wrestling team had their annual wrestle-palooza inter-team wrestling tournament. after 2+ hours of intense wrestling, Anthony White defeated Jeremy Reith in the ultimate rideout to win 3-2 and become 2010's wrestle-palooza champion. Congrats also go out to coach canc for this stunning fall over coach cosimo to take 3rd place and finish on the podium for the first time in his career. Here is a picture of coach cosimo on the medal stand....

as for coach savage, he was the victim of shady seeding politics and even shadier officiating and dropped both of his matches to go 0-2 on the day. he had to defeat coach mascino and coach murphy to advance. after giving up 50+ pounds to each coach and wrestling like the warrior he is, he lost 4-2 (in OT) to coach rick, and 6-4 to coach teddy. if some of you dont know what they look like, i have attached some photos.....

Coach Rick Mascino
