Wrestling (2-0) 1/10 Woodberry Forest School, Albans School, Our Lady of Good Counsel High, from Coach Katz:
The Bears have won their second IAC match up against St. Albans by a decisive victory… 60-15.
The young Bears training it starting to pay off. The Bears were challenged in a quad by St. Albans, Woodberry Forest and Good Counsel. There was marked improvement across the board as the young inexperienced wrestlers are starting to figure things out. Against STA, we won 6 of the 9 matches. Ty Reyes (182), Gabe Johnson (220), Nico Biabani (126), Tyler Younge (145) and Lucas Macdonald (170) received forfeits. Seniors Marc Schermer (160) and Lorenzo Lopez (132), along with freshman Connor Brady (120) pinned their opponents. Jerrold Johnson (195) won by technical fall. Freshman Anthony Savoy (152) won by major decision 9-1. Matt Amitay (138) won by decision 9-4.
In our second match against a solid Woodberry, we ended up in a tie 37-37. Unfortunately, we lost in criteria so the victory goes to the Tigers. It was an amazingly exciting match with several bouts going back and forth. The turning point was when Tyler Younge scored a take down with 5 seconds on the clock which we thought was for the win, but the referee determined the other wrestler scored the takedown. Of the 14 weight classes, both teams won 7 matches. John Bates (106) received a forfeit, Conrad Brady, Lorenzo Lopez, Matt Amitay and Jerrold Johnson all earned pins. Anthony Savoy won a major decision and Marc Schermer won a hard-fought battle 8-5. The last match was Jerrold who needed the pin for the tie. Our senior Bear came through for the team.
Our final match for the evening was Good Counsel. We wrestled well, but we were outmatched by experience. GC had 5 seniors and 4 juniors who are veteran wrestlers. We only won 5 of the 14 matches. John Bates and Bao Duong won by forfeit, and three of our experienced Seniors were able to find a way to win: Lorenzo Lopez, Matt Amitay, Marc Schermer went three and zero for the night.
Landon 60 St. Albans 15
Woodberry Forest 37 Landon 37 Woodberry won by criteria
Good Counsel 51 Landon 25
Of note:
Freshman Anthony Savoy, Conrad Brady, and John Bates had 2 wins on the night.
Senior Matt Amitay gets closer to 100 career victories: he is 9-7 for the season and 91-62 for his career.
Senior Lorenzo Lopez gets closer to breaking the all-time career victories: he is 21-2 for the season and 146-24 for his career. The record is 168 set by Axel Giron ’19 last year.
