Match Summaries and Awards--Winter, 2009-10

02/06/10
At Wrestling Regionals, only the top three finishers in each weight class survive to go to Sectionals.  Because the third-place matches are elimination competitions, those matches have two referees monitoring the action while the first-place matches have only one.   On Saturday, seniors Matt Ten Pas and Andy Keller both fought to third-place finishes at the Libertyville Regional to extend their final year of high school wrestling into the post-season.

After losing 3-2 in his semi-final match, Ten Pas (152 lbs.) came back with a 4-2 consolation decision to work his way to the third-place match.  Down 4-2 going into the final period of that match, Ten Pas earned one point with a quick escape to narrow the lead.  After several takedown attempts, he scored with nine seconds left for a dramatic 5-4 win.

Keller (215 lbs.) missed a full month of wrestling due to mononucleosis and came into Regionals in less than perfect physical condition.   Keller lost an 8-2 semi-final decision to eventual champion Luke Miller.  He then scored a 12-2 consolation major decision to earn his way into the final match which he won by a 7-5 decision.

Very few high school athletes get to end their careers with a win, but two LFHS wrestlers had bittersweet finishes to their seasons at the Saturday Regionals.  Charlie DeYoung (171 lbs.), the only LFHS State qualifier from last season, finally got to compete after spending four months recovering from ACL surgery after a football injury.  Going into the post-season, DeYoung had a cumulative record of 0-0.  After an 8-6 quarter-final loss, DeYoung came back with a decisive 11-3 major decision in the consolation bracket.  Unfortunately, the pressure on his reconstructed knee was too much, and DeYoung injury-forfeited his next match to end his comeback. 

Colin Porter (125 lbs.) cracked a neck vertebrae last season.  On Saturday, he lost a first-round match to eventual champion Matt Bystoll of Libertyville.  After coming back strong with a pin in the first consolation match, Porter also ended his season with an injury forfeit because of neck soreness.

Brendan Touhy, Tyler Reaumond, and Chance Shea each ran into tough competition with losses to eventual placers. 

Ten Pas and Keller both advance to the Barringtion Sectional on Friday afternoon.

Warren 51 - Lake Forest 13
Winners were: Tyler Reaumond--6-3; Matt Tenpas--10-2; Victor Battaglia--WBF 1:52
Lake Forest put only 9 wrestlers on the mat out of 14 weight classes--winning 3 matches, losing 2 matches by 2 points and losing one overtime match.

The team has been plagued with injuries this season, including 4 starters: Quinn Giangiogi (125), Bonomico Jacobs (145), Charlie DeYoung (160) and Nick VanAntwerp (189); consequently, the team has been subject to 4 or 5 weight-class forfits each meet. The Scouts are working hard to prepare for the NSC Conference Tournament and the Regional at the end of the season.
