UNDEFEATED WRESTLERS - Knight grapplers Ray Rosencrans (189) and Mike Geurin (160) went through the league season undefeated. (Photo by C.M. Denmon) Rosenrans and Geurin were unbeaten By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Members of the young Black Knights varsity wrestling team are working hard in preparation for the district competition this week- end. They know they will be facing some tough matchups, particu- larly from the Meyers Mohawks, who tied the Knights 26-26 in league competition early this sea- son. “We took the Wyoming Valley conference championship but Meyers is a tough tournament team and they'll be out to take the dis- trict title,” said Knight Ray Rosen- crans, who finished the league season undefeated. “Neither do we know anything about the Scranton teams,” said undefeated sophomore Mike Geurin. “We don't wrestle them during the season so they're a question mark.” Rosencrans, a junior, went undefeated during the league sea- son wrestling at 189-lbs., and fig- ures he will probably wrestle at the same weight in districts. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Rosencrans of Loyalville, Ray started wrestling in the Back Mountain Elementary Association when he was a fifth grade student. He usually wrestled in the 90-1b. classes. “In junior high school I wrestled § on the seventh, eighth and ninth grade championship teams. In 10th grade I wrestled varsity at 160-1bs. and lost only four or five bouts. This year I have wrestled at 189- Ibs. and went 14-0 in league com- petition,” Rosencrans said. “My toughest bout was with Lou DiPasquale, who I pinned in 34 seconds.” Ray does weight-lifting year- round with the exception of wres- tling season. He is also an active member of the Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) at the high school. He is familiar with wrestling since his older brother, Wayne, wrestled for Lake-Lehman and was twice district champion, regional champ and placed fifth in state mat competition. Ray attributes his success to his coaches. “We have good coaches. They have been my coaches since junior high with the exception of last season when we had Coaches Ladamus and Bar- bacci,” Rosencrans said. Sophomore Mike Geurin, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Geurin re- sides in Lehman, and has always been a student in the Lehman Schools with the exception of a short period of time when he at- tended Dallas. He wrestled at 160-1b. this sea- son and went 13-0 in league com- petition. “I started wrestling in the Back Mountain Wrestling Club when I was in second grade and contin- ued until I went into junior high school where I wrestled on all three of the district championship teams. Last year I wrestled on the senior high varsity team at 145-1bs. and ended the season with 22-10. “This year my toughest bout was with Nanticoke's Brian Kruczek, which I won by a superior deci- sion. I had four or five pins but my fastest pin was 1:36 over Tiger Tommy Traver,” Geurin said. Mike is also interested in cross country and has been on the team in the past. He has a brother, Bill, who was a district champion 1984 and who placed third in regionals to qualify for the state competi- i tion. i Back Mountain Wie Hers visit Clarks Summit The Back Mountain Wrestling Club attended the Clark Summit Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 17.
