Mike Stuart, fourth place at 130 Ibs. Wrestlers (continued from page 9) Thad itin my head that he couldn't hold me and that's how it turned out.” Pilosi’'s only loss was a 5-1 decision to Ken Hampe of Warrior Run. Hampe went on to finish first. Two other Lehman wrestlers fell a little short in their bid to continue. At 130, Mike Stuart was within a whisker of the cham- pionship bout. During the semi- finals Danville's Rob Sarviss fought Stuart to a 6-6 tie. Stuart took immediate control in over- time and looked to the ref for a takedown. Sarviss took advan- tage of the momentary lapse for an 8-6 victory. “He felt he had two and then he relaxed,” said co-head coach Phil Lipski. “It was just one of those things. It was a nightmare.” BE ES I a Si Es a NE 3 “My goal this year was to get to states. My grandfather died in August, I thought I'd do it for him.” Mike Budzak Going to states at 189 Ibs. Stuart won his next bout be- fore falling to Mike Martz of Line Mountain, 3-0. : “Mike wrestled as well as any- one in the tournament,” Lipski said. “It's a shame because he really has had a tremendousyear. He has everything to be proud of because he had a great year.” Fellow senior John Wood saw his afternoon pan out in the same manner. Wood's highlight was a pin of Meyers’ Todd Sattof 25 seconds into the overtime of their consolation semi-final. Wood lost to Satoff by one point in both the district and pre-regionals finals the past two weekends. The 145 pounder closed his career by los- ing a 14-2 major decision to Dustin Gehr of Loyalsock in their meet for third place. 152 pound Ryan Gold of Lehman and 112 pound Mike Metz of Dallas each followed up a quar- terfinal loss with a win in the first round of consolations. Both were then eliminated by a foe they're quite familiar with. Gold lost to Gingo 3-0 while Metz fell to the man who edged him out for a district and pre-regional title - Wyoming Area's Don Morgan. Metz has lost just seven bouts this year, but the 10-4 decision was his fourth to Morgan. 125 pound sophomore Joe Halowich and 140 pound junior Brian Butler of Lehman lost both of their bouts on the afternoon. Lipski and Williams received the annual Jim Neddoff award presented at Northeast Regionals for sportsmanship and the team with the most wrestlers in the tournament. “We both said coming in we could take five, six kids to the state tournament,” said Williams, “but we also said we could come out of here without anyone going.” “To reach the higher end of your expectations is pretty unbe- lievable,” said Lipski. “The kids really dug deep in the wrestle- backs round. Every match is like a district final.” Gingo and the quintet of Raczkowski, Sayre, Scott, Budzak and Pilosi will be competing for class AA state titles this Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday at Her- shey Park Arena. ‘Georgetown takes season, tourney titles Georgetown ended the season in first place at the Dallas Youth + 5thand 6th grade basketball semi- \ final and finals this past week- | end, then won the tournament in + overtime against Villanova. § In the opening game, Geor- | getown utilized a tough defensive ¢ setup to jump out to an 18-2 , halftime lead againast an explo- 5 ' sive Miami squad.

In the previous two meetings, Villanova held the edge by defeat- ing Seton Hall twice in regular season. Villanova, coached by Danny Fetko and Seton hall, coached by Dave Domzalski knew that this game would be a barn burner. Both teams put on a defensive show in the first quarter.

Villanova came out in the fourth quarter on a mission to take con- trol of the game, and at one point with 1:50 remaining was up by six points. To most fans the game looked over for Seton all. However, Seton Hall's players didn't quite see it that way as it started its come- back. After a missed shot by Villa- nova, Seton Hall made a bucket and cut the lead to four points. On the ensuing play, Buddy Shah stole the ball and drove for a layup, but was fouled in the act of shoot- ing. Buddy Shah sank both free throws, giving Villanova just a two point lead with 35 seconds left in the game. After a missed shot by Villa- nova, Mike Domzalski went strong to the basket for the tie, but was fouled with 14 seconds remain- ing. Mike made the front end of the foul, and a time out was then called by Villanova. Mike Domzalski went to the line and calmly sank the free throw to tie the game. With time run- ning down, Villanova's Danny Fetko drove the lane, took a 12 foot shot, and sank the game winning shot. With four seconds left, Seton Hall tried a desperation shot that just fell short. Villanova's offense was led by Dan Fetko, Justin Bicking and Pat Barnard. De- fense was led by Randy Schoonover, Jonathan Lorah, Blake Saba, and Kevin Piekara. Seton Hall offense was led by Mike Domzalaski, Buddy Shah and John Lukasavage. A great defensive game was turned in by Vito and Angelo Recchia, John Simionitis, Nathan Bohlander and Tony Van Horn. The final score was Villanova 33, Seton Hall 31.
