Friday, February 13, 2004 By Anthony Phillips Plain and simple, Absegami’s never needed to wrestle Camden Catholic to prove that they are the best team in the state. With an impressive 19-0 record and an even more impressive 90 game unbeaten streak still in tact, the Braves have proven they are the team to beat. It was necessary for these two powerhouse teams who have dominated their schedule to finally prove who is number one amongst the standing room only crowd at Camden Catholic High School. When the match finally started, Absegami was never threaten on this night as the Braves won seven consecutive matches that was highlighted by pins from J.J. Gilly and Dave Williams. Despite losing the first bout of the day, the Braves went on to win 9 of the 14 bouts to win this non-league competition 39-17. Nick Bridge also recorded a pin for Absegami. |

Saturday, February 7, 2004 By Anthony Phillips It was a match that featured two successful wrestling teams filled with winning and undefeated records from both teams. The battle of unbeaten featured Lenape’s Doug Umbehauer and Eastern’s Anthony Orio at the 215 bout and Lenape’s Zeb Davis putting his clean record in jeopardy against Phil Trautwein. Each match was as important as the heavyweights and each match was not as easy as it looked. During today’s competition, Eastern won their first 4 matches then jumped out to a comfortable 23-9 lead. Lenape would get within 5 points before the last two matches, but a pin by Eastern’s Nick Orio during the 140 bout sealed the 35-21 victory and claim at least a share of the Olympic Conference American Division championship title. |

Monday, January 5, 2004 By Anthony Phillips The mood from the crowd was very confusing during the pre-match warm-ups Monday afternoon at Cinnaminson High School. You would expect the visiting Chimeras from Willingboro to be a bit quiet, as they were about to face a good wrestling team on the road. So, when the Pirates took the mat during warm-ups there wasn’t much noise coming from the players or the crowd. Early season jitters? Maybe, but it didn’t take long for Cinnaminson to make a lot of noise on the scoreboard. The Pirates recorded four consecutive pins, six total, to easily erase an early deficit. The Pirates recorded their second victory in a row with their 66-9 triumph over Willingboro. |
