Top-ranked Mishawaka suffered three individual setbacks but failed to disappoint as a team Dec. 29-30 in capturing the Cavemen’s fourth consecutive title at the loaded 32nd Annual Al Smith Classic. 

Host Mishawaka totaled 254.5 points to outpoint runner-up No. 4 Merrillville (210.5) in the 32-team event, while No. 15 Penn took third with 164.5. No. 20 Bellmont (146) nosed out No. 19 Lawrence North by a point for fourth place, while Center Grove (132.5) finished sixth.

Every championship bout either had a pair of ranked wrestlers going at it or saw an upset of a ranked grappler by an unranked foe. Eleven of the finals’ 14 matchups featured headline-grabbing results:

• 103: Warsaw’s No. 3 Jarred Brooks scored a 10-5 upset of No. 2 Zac Stevens of Merrillville.

• 112: Top-ranked Paul Beck of Mishawaka barely got past Lake Central’s No. 4 Kyle Ayersman, 2-1.

• 119: No. 3 Brandon Nelsen of Lawrence North scored the only point in a 1-0 decision over No. 6 (at 125) Alex Gregory of Penn.

• 125: Merrillville’s No. 5 Anthony Napules blanked No. 8 Zack Thornton of Chesterton, 4-0.

• 130: No. 4 Nick Schrader of Mishawaka trailed 7-3 to Calumet’s No. 14 Mike Clark with a minute left before rallying for an 8-7 victory.

• 135: Jimtown’s unranked Jeremy Hill shocked No. 6 Matt Guerra of Mishawaka, 6-4.

• 145: Munster’s No. 3 Alex Surma shut out No. 9 (at 152) Dalton Sparks of Peru, 7-0.

• 160: No. 3 Anthony Quiroz of Chesterton narrowly held off No. 6 (at 152) Zack Corpe of Elkhart Memorial, 8-7.

• 189: Bellmont’s unranked Travis Belcher shocked No. 13 Nathan Fowler of Calumet, 5-2.

• 215: No. 2 Nate Cleveland of Lowell upset Mishawaka’s top-ranked Christian Lentz with a 4-2 decision, scoring a takedown just ahead of the final buzzer.

• Hwt: Merrillville’s top-ranked James Travis held off No. 3 Travis Thomas of Mishawaka, 3-0.

Mishawaka crowned three champions on the day – Beck at 112, Schrader at 130, and No. 2 Ryan Stahl at 152 in a 7-1 decision over No. 14 Jimmy Larowe of East Noble. Coach Darrick Snyder’s Cavemen also boasted three runner-up finishers (Guerra at 135, Lentz at 215, and Thomas at heavyweight) as well as a pair of thirds (No. 9 Taylor Wisler at 125, No. 6 Richard Morin at 171).

That was significantly better than Merrillville, which finished with two champs (Napules at 125 and Travis at heavyweight), one second-place wrestler (Stevens at 103), and a third (No. 9 Adam Garcia at 112).

“We set our goal to wrestle well, and if we did we figured we’d win it,” Snyder told the South Bend Tribune. “But our goal all along is to peak at the end of the season, and we’re on our way toward that.”

No. 11 Yorktown only had four individual champions compared with five for fifth-ranked Castle, but the Tigers used better depth in springing the upset Dec. 29-30 at the 16-team annual Mooresville Holiday Classic.

Yorktown totaled 288.5 points – 45 better than runner-up Castle – in continuing a banner season for coach Trent McCormick, who was named the 2009 USA Wrestling’s Kids Person of the Year. Host Mooresville (156) finished third, while Jennings County (146) nosed out Homestead by a point for fourth.

Three of Yorktown’s four champs won by fall, which also helped the Tigers catapult to the team title. That, in addition to second-ranked heavyweight Ross Janney’s 5-3 decision over No. 11 Tyler Daugherty of Castle in one of the day’s three finals that featured ranked wrestlers.

At 125, third-ranked Derek Bevans pinned Castle’s Michael Brown. At 130, No. 10 Devon Jackson upset No. 9 Shawn Miracle of Bloomington North by fall. And at 135, No. 3 Andrew Heistand stuck Chris Oaks of Brownsburg. The Tigers also scored three runner-up finishes to just two for Castle.

Three Welches were winners for Castle as Luke decisioned Mooresville’s Jake Swigert 1-0 at 112, second-ranked Doug scored an 8-1 decision over Yorktown’s Cody Harper at 145, and No. 3 Chad pinned Plainfield’s Dustin Parrish at 152. Chad Welch was named the meet’s most outstanding wrestler after teching Jennings County’s Brock Wathen, pinning Yorktown’s Caleb Smith, and then sticking Parrish.

The Knights also had champions at 160 (No. 11 Cory Weikel, a 4-2 decision winner over Mooresville’s Andrew Gibson), and 189 (No. 6 Alex Rosebrock, an 11-5 decision winner over No. 7 Todd Hacker of Mooresville).

Beech Grove was the day’s other multiple champion as No. 11 Clint Schmith decisioned Brock Bevans of Yorktown, 3-2, at 103 and No. 6 Seve Duncan decisioned Andy Franklin of Homestead, 5-3, at 119.

CONNERSVILLE – Ninth-ranked Evansville Reitz pulled away from a first-place tie with No. 11 Roncalli after Day 1 of the 32-team Spartan Classic to capture the overall and Class AAA championships Dec. 30 at the Spartan Bowl in Connersville. 

The Panthers totaled 261.5 points for the title, with Roncalli at 236.5 and third-place No. 17 Indianapolis Cathedral scoring 227.5. North Central (Indianapolis) and South Dearborn tied for fourth with 173.5 points.

Reitz had 12 of its 14 wrestlers pin down Top 8 finishes, including victories by No. 5 Bryan Kuhn at 112 and Blake Rueger at 135. Corey Voegel was runner-up at 145, while the Panthers collected third-place finishes at four weights – 103 (No. 14 Gideon VanHook in a loaded field that featured five ranked competitors), 119 (No. 11 Trevor Moody), 189 (Jeff Fentress), and heavyweight (Zach Wimpelberg).

Roncalli also crowned a pair of individual champions in fourth-ranked Josh Kieffer at 119 and fourth-ranked Justin Kieffer at 125. Justin Kieffer also was named the Ed Collier Most Valuable Wrestler.

A trio of other schools pulled the double-winner trick, too. 

Union County’s pair of defending state champions came out on top at 103 (No. 1-ranked Cody Phillips) and 189 (Michael Duckworth, who’s currently ranked first at 171 and also won the award for most pins). Cathedral won at 160 (No. 2 Tyler Willis) and heavyweight (unranked Jake Buchanan). And South Dearborn took titles at 130 (No. 6 Tyler Clark) and 152 (No. 15 Nick Manning).

1. #9 Evansville Reitz 261.5 (Class AAA champion)

2. #11 Roncalli 236.5 (Class AA champion)

3. #17 Indianapolis Cathedral 227.5

4. North Central (Indianapolis) 173.5

4. South Dearborn 173.5

6. Carroll (Fort Wayne) 149.5

7. Pendleton Heights 139

8. Connersville 119.5

9. Union County 118 (Class A champion)

10. Lebanon 116

The individual results (complete with a class-by-class summary from a fellow calls himself “Indiana Wrestlin”), courtesy of IndianaMat.com:

1. #1 Cody Phillips, Union County

2. #8 Mike Venezia, Indianapolis Cathedral

3. #14 Gideon VanHook, Evansville Reitz

4. #7 Josh Ferrell, Greenfield-Central

5. #16 Tom Gettinger, Connersville

6. Zach Wise, Pendleton Heights

7. Conner Aldridge, Evansville North

8. Devin Hubbard, Fort Wayne Snider

IW: By far the most competitive and entertaining weight as six wrestlers are Conseco-caliber. Phillips (the defending 103 state champ) was very dominant. The match was close with Venezia in the finals through two periods, but Phillips unleashed his strength and roughneck style on Venezia, putting him on his back twice for the major decision and almost a fall. Venezia had a real nice tournament, beating a good Connersville kid, Gettinger, and taking a tight battle with Greenfield’s Farrell. Both Wise from Pendleton Heights and VanHook from Reitz were also impressive.

1. #5 Bryan Kuhn, Evansville Reitz

2. #7 Brian Harvey, Indianapolis Cathedral

3. #8 Mason Todd, Pendleton Heights 

4. Aaron Davis, Roncalli

5. Kieno Scott, North Central (Indianapolis)

6. Cody House, Connersville

7. Garth Simpson, Rochester

8. David Noe, Richmond

IW: Brian Harvey (Cathedral) vs. Bryan Kuhn (Reitz) in the finals could have gone either way. Kuhn stole a couple quick back points on a scramble, and it was the difference-maker in an 8-5 decision. Harvey beats Mason Todd, 5-3, in the quarters, and pins Davis from Roncalli with little fanfare in the semis.

1. #4 Josh Kieffer, Roncalli

2. Alex Troy, Fort Wayne Snider

3. #11 Trevor Moody, Evansville Reitz

4. #14 Josh Julien, Lebanon

5. Jacob McCord, South Dearborn

6. Chase Woodall, Connersville

7. Tyler Burrellson, Triton Central

8. Brian Philbert, Pendleton Heights

IW: Josh Kieffer was in a class of his own, beating Troy handily in the finals. Troy vs. Moody in the semis was a nail-biter.

1. #4 Justin Kieffer, Roncalli

2. #3 (at 130) Ethan Raley, Indian Creek

3. Drew Sulawske, Evansville North

4. Celin Campbell, Lebanon

5. Zach Bottomley, Connersville

6. Beckes, Evansville Reitz

7. Justin Eshelman, Pendleton Heights

8. Jared Huff, Milan

IW: Justin Kieffer destroys Raley (the 2008 state champ at 103), up 10-0 when he pins him. Kieffer was superior on his feet and has a dirty double leg.

1. #6 Tyler Clark, South Dearborn

2. #10 John Stringfield, Indianapolis Cathedral

3. #12 Joe Kieffer, Roncalli

4. Poynter, DeKalb

5. Derek Dowdy, Evansville Reitz

6. Chance Miller, Triton Central

7. Mikey Sartain, Hagerstown

8. Nick Huff, Milan

IW: Clark was pretty darn good, beating Stringfield in the finals pretty handily.

1. Blake Rueger, Evansville Reitz

2. Andrew Konrath, Mount Vernon (Posey)

3. Smith, North Central (Indianapolis)

4. Schroder, Rochester

5. Sam Oskins, Indianapolis Cathedral

6. Brooks Manning, Greenfield-Central

7. Goss, Roncalli

8. Jake McCoy, Franklin County

IW: I thought this weight was pretty average. Rueger looked good beating up on Konrath by a major, having Konrath on his back to end it.

1. #9 Bailey Kesterman, Triton Central

2. Wade Thiel, Fort Wayne North

3. Tiandre Edwards, North Central (Indianapolis)

4. Gino Gillum, Indianapolis Cathedral

5. Jeff Clark, Carroll (Fort Wayne)

6. Justin Enright, Centerville

7. Travis Gaff, DeKalb

8. Ben Kane, Roncalli

IW: Theil vs. Gillum in the semi was heart-stopping, high-scoring action! Edwards wrestles all the way back from a second-round loss to Kesterman to take third.

1. #8 Reece Lefever, Carroll (Fort Wayne)

2. Corey Voegel, Evansville Reitz

3. Mason Gesell, Union County

4. #11 Logun Taylor, Western

5. Logan Zielinski, Roncalli

6. Braydon Alley, Hamilton Heights

7. Shane Steele, Mount Vernon (Posey)

8. Zeth O’Neal, Milan

IW: Gessell vs. Voegel in the quarters could have been the final – it was an 18-16 type of match in Voegel’s favor. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, but I thought third-place Gessell could have beaten Lefever. Weight was not the strongest.

1. #15 Nick Manning, South Dearborn

2. Jon Timmerman, Carroll (Fort Wayne)

3. #11 Austin Neighberger, Indianapolis Cathedral

4. Blake Marshall, Mount Vernon (Posey)

5. Tyler Boyle, Evansville Reitz

6. Cody Day, Connersville

7. Aaron Mason, DeKalb

8. Kevin Fox, Richmond

IW: Manning manhandles Timmerman in the final by a technical fall, 17-2. Neibarger takes third handily, losing a tough match to Timmerman in the semis.

1. #2 Tyler Willis, Indianapolis Cathedral

2. Joe Ardizzone, Roncalli

3. Conner Lefever, Carroll (Fort Wayne)

4. Cody Becker, Northeastern

5. Nick Harrell, South Dearborn

6. Cole Kelly, North Central (Indianapolis)

7. Schneider, Evansville Reitz

8. Stephen Blanford, Mount Vernon (Posey)

IW: Willis dominated with a tech fall in the finals over Ardizonne. The next-best kid was Lefever.

1. #13 Trey Reese, Indian Creek

2. #10 Mike Smith, North Central (Indianapolis)

3. Jake Bartley, Roncalli

4. Kamaryn Wright, Lebanon

5. Dakota Gruell, Greenfield-Central

6. Logan Raydole, Carroll (Fort Wayne)

7. Jake Stilwell, Pendleton Heights

8. Tyler Byall, Fort Wayne North

IW: I was surprised to not see Smith win this. Reese is the real deal, though.

1. #1 (at 171) Michael Duckworth, Union County

2. Ian Early, Greenfield-Central

3. Jeff Fentress, Evansville Reitz

4. Kevin Wilger, South Dearborn

5. Bronc Fletcher, Centerville

6. Stephen Hackl, Indianapolis Cathedral

7. Damon Albertson, Roncalli

8. Chance Blackwell, Bedford North Lawrence

IW: Duckworth (the defending 171 state champ and the 2008 runner-up at 160), with little competition.

1. Kyle Smitherman, Pendleton Heights

2. #10 Ron Forman, South Dearborn

3. Gage Andis, Carroll (Fort Wayne)

4. Kevin Gaugham, North Central (Indianapolis)

5. Kyle Barrett, Connersville

6. Jake Tucker, Roncalli

7. Brandon Kemp, Evansville Reitz

8. Caleb Jones, Talawanda (OH)

IW: Another very down weight class.

1. Jake Buchanan, Indianapolis Cathedral

2. Ben Jackson, Milan

3. Zach Wimpleberg, Evansville Reitz

4. #7 Willie Henson, North Central (Indianapolis)

5. Jessey Boley, Lebanon

6. #14 Jake Stevenson, Indian Creek

7. Sean McPike, Bedford North Lawrence

8. Teddy O’Connell, Mount Vernon (Posey)

IW: Buchanan wins this one pretty easy.

Regardless of the scenario, four teams have gathered each season for 50 years at Clinton Central High School over the Christmas holiday to battle for the championship of the Clinton Central Invitational. For the past 28 years, it has been the same four squads. 

The host Bulldogs, county rival Clinton Prairie, Tri-Central, and Carroll (Flora) compete each year in the longest-running holiday tourney in the Hoosier state.

Hoosier Authority traveled to the home of the Bulldogs Dec. 29 to witness the first night of this annual bloodletting. We saw a full house and rabid support for four teams, three of which have losing records. 

We also saw two intense basketball games and at least one team come of age.

The evening’s first contest saw Tri-Central under first-year coach Kyle Zahn battle Carroll, one of the state’s tallest teams. It was a contest that featured a little of everything, including both excellent and incredibly frustrating play. 

The two squads battled through a well-played and even first half that saw Tri-Central take a 28-26 lead into intermission. The Trojans did an excellent job of controlling Carroll’s 6’11” center, Riley Johnson, while the Cougars responded with long-range bombing from a trio of guards.

The third quarter was a nightmare that set up the exciting finish. Tri-Central completely controlled play in the period, holding the suddenly frigid Cougars scoreless for more than four minutes midway through the stanza. 

There was only one problem. During that stretch, Tri-Central committed seven turnovers and missed countless opportunities to put a stranglehold on the contest. Instead, the Trojans managed only a 6-0 run that gave them a 38-31 margin. 

The lead disappeared in a split second. 

Carroll finally connected on a 3-point field goal, and Tri-Central was whistled for a foul off the ball during the shot. The ensuing one-and-one gave Carroll a five-point play. It cut the margin to two points, and the battle was on.

The fourth period started with the Trojans still clinging to the same two-point lead they had enjoyed at halftime. The final eight minutes were a possession-by -possession battle that saw the contest tied at 59 with 1:41 remaining. 

It was at that point the young Tri-Central squad took a huge step in maturity. Junior Brock Robertson made a steal on the next Carroll trip down the floor and streaked to the other end for the go-ahead score. That was followed by a stop and a bucket from junior Brock Tew to stretch the lead to four. 

In all, Tri-Central outscored the Cougars 8-5 down the stretch to garner the 58-55 victory. As a young team coming off two disappointing seasons, it was a mammoth step in learning how to win for the Trojans (3-5). For Carroll (3-3), it was a frustrating loss.

The second contest featured the host Clinton Central Bulldogs and county foe Clinton Prairie. Anybody familiar with Clinton County knows that is all that is needed for civil war. 

Both teams have struggled this season. Central entered the game just 1-3, while Prairie had yet to taste victory in seven outings. The first half was, quite frankly, an example of why the squads have suffered those fates. 

Central controlled play in a ragged (to say the least) two quarters that saw Prairie miss countless opportunities at point-blank range. The score at intermission was a paltry 16-12 in favor of the Bulldogs.

The third quarter changed all of that. The Gophers, who had struggled so mightily to score in the first half, put 20 points on the board in the first four minutes. The blast took them from four down to a 10-point lead. 

They were never seriously threatened down the stretch in a 55-41 triumph.

Tri-Central and Clinton Prairie advance to battle for the championship on the 30th. Anyone who frequently visits Hoosier Authority knows we are big on tradition. This tourney is another of the hidden gems our state features almost every day during the school year. 

The records didn’t matter. The power of the teams didn’t matter. At Christmas time, only one thing matters to these four communities – and it has been that way for 50 years.

The Associated Press released its fifth set of polls for the 2009-10 boys basketball season last week, and we plumb forgotted to post ‘em! So, we’re gonna give you the polls that got left by the wayside a week ago plus this week’s updated goodies. Enjoy!

Last week, Bluffton was the new leader in Class 2A as the Tigers switched with Fort Wayne Luers in going from second to first. The other No. 1s – 4A Bloomington South, 3A Princeton, and 1A Bowman Academy – remained unchanged. But there was a lot of little movements going on inside each class a week ago:

• 4A: New Albany went from third to second, Zionsville rose from fifth to third, Valparaiso jumped from 10th to fifth, Pike pushed up two spots from eighth to sixth, Munster moved up two as well going from ninth to seventh, and Carmel rocketed up all the way from 20th to 10th after upsetting previous No. 2/now No. 4 North Central (Indianapolis).

• 3A: Gary Wallace ascended from seventh to fourth, Mt. Vernon (Fortville) inched up from sixth to fifth, Batesville did the same in going from eighth to seventh, Peru moved up from 10th to eighth, and Greensburg rose from 12th to ninth.

• 2A: Wheeler went from seventh to fifth, while Taylor bounded up from 15th to 10th.

• 1A: Barr-Reeve swapped spots with Monroe Central in moving from fourth to third, Orleans went from eighth to sixth, and Morgan Township moved from 12th to eighth

Now, onto this week!

• In 4A: North Central (Indianapolis) bumps up from fourth to third, Valparaiso noses ahead from fifth to fourth, Munster moves from seventh to fifth, Lawrence North inches up from eighth to seventh, Carmel rises from 10th to eighth, Noblesville leaps from 19th to ninth, and Fort Wayne South does the same in going from 18th to 10th.

• In 3A: Washington, Danville, and Gary Wallace all move up one to first, second, and third as two-loss Princeton falls clear to sixth. Elsewhere, Greensburg goes all the way from ninth to fourth, Peru rises from eighth to fifth, Southridge ascends from 10th to eighth, and Harding goes from 11th to ninth.

• In 2A: Brownstown bumps up from fourth to second, Winchester moves from eighth to fifth, North Posey rockets up from 15th to eighth, and Hammond Noll noses ahead from 11th to ninth.

• In 1A: White River Valley slides up one spot from fifth to fourth, Orleans does the same in going from sixth to fifth, Morgan Township likewise noses ahead one in moving from eighth to seventh, Shakamak jumps from 13th to ninth, and Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian hops from 14th to 10th.
