2005-2006 Season News Congratulations to the following wrestlers who were named to the Delco Times All-Delco Team for the 2005/1006 season: Dave Morey (160) - 1st Team Ryan Ferguson (189) - 1st Team Kris Wazlawik (215) - 1st Team Mike Conroy - Honorable Mention Anthony Coyle - Honorable Mention Dan Tustin - Honorable Mention Schedule for Week of 3/13/06 (Week 16): NCAA Division I Championships / Stillwater OK: Thursday 3/16 - Saturday 3/18 RESULTS for Week of 2/27/06 (Week 14): Southeast Regional Tournament: SATURDAY 5th place bouts: Congratulations to Dave Morey and Kris Wazlawik who both won their final bouts of the weekend to finish in 5th place. Dave Morey finished the weekend with a 3-2 record and defeated Jay Hahn of Great Valley by a score of 5-2 in the 5th place bout. Kris Wazlawik finished with a record of 2-2 and defeated Vince Brown of Hatboro Horsham by a score of 9-3 in the 5th place bout. Ryan Ferguson narrowly missed an opportunity to wrestle for a trip to Hershey when he lost a very close bout by a score of 3-2 to Mike Platco of Spring-Ford in the Consolation Quarterfinals. Ryan ended the weekend with a record of 2-2. Congratulations to Ryan on an outstanding season and career - he was a leader both on and off the mat and a fine Captain. Ryan wrestled against the best of the best this year - by my count he saw at least 5 state ranked wrestlers (Letts, Smith, Whitaker, Flynn, DeGaravilla, etc.) and he wrestled them all extremely tough - he may be one of the few 189 pounders to wrestle what will probably be the AA and AAA state champs (Flynn and Letts). FRIDAY Pigtail Round: Ryan Ferguson advanced to the Quarterfinals with a 5-3 victory of Bensalem's Jake Thierjung. Quarterfinal Round: Dave Morey fell to Methacton's Brad Clark by fall in 1:36. Ryan Ferguson lost by fall to #1 seed Pay Flynn of Quakertown in 0:48. Both Dave and Ryan will continue wrestling on Saturday morning.

VARSITY DUAL MEET RECORD: 14-8 Overall (5-1 in SCCL) D-1's Upper Perk. are the state team champions after a convincing defeat of D-11 power Easton for the AAA crown on Saturday at the Giant Center in Hershey.

RESULTS for the Week of 2/6/06 (week 11) The Jags downed Unionville by a score of 41-18 on 2/7 to end the SCCL season with a 5-1 record.

UP downed CRS 43-12 in the D1 team final on Saturday. Council Rock North defeated Pennsbury in the 3rd place match. Upper Perk should have a very good shot at the state team title - some are speculating there could even be an all D-1 final. UP and Nazareth are on the same side of the bracket so their much awaited showdown could take place in the semis. RESULTS for the Week of 1/30/06 (Week 10) The Jags defeated West Chester East by a score of 41 to 18 on 2/3 at GVHS.

RESULTS for Week of 1/9/06 (Week 7) Dave Morey and Kris Wazlawik both went 4-0 on the day as the Jags won the Chi Duals on Sat. 1/14. GV needed to go to the 4th criteria to win their match and the duals title against Downingtown East as the score was tied at 29. Dan Tustin's (145) tech. fall was the deciding factor in that match as both teams were even on team penalty points, victories and falls. On the day the Jags also defeated Glen Mills (ranked #2 in Delco Times Super 7) by a score of 40-25, host Chichester 58-11 and lost to Danville 41-27. Zack Nickle (112) had a strong day with a 3-1 record as did Anthony Coyle (130), Ryan Ferguson (189)and Junior Dan Tustin who continues to do a nice job going between 145 and 152.

There were 2 exciting matches that went to OT. Senior heavyweight Pat Dunlap escaped during an overtime rideout to win and Dan Tustin won by fall late in the 1st overtime period in no doubt the most exciting and wild match of the meet.

It was great to see Jim Bertulis Sr. back at a match on Friday 1/6 at North Penn HS where he watched his son Jim in action against Drexel. Jim is recovering from surgery that he had on 12/12. Our best wishes to him as he continues his recovery. Wes Clevenger is also recovering from the hip replacement surgery he had recently and is reported to be doing very well. Wes will be released from the hospital early next week (1/9)and we all look forward to seeing him at a meet very soon.

Pat Dunlap and Kriz Wazlawik both won by forfeits. 15th ranked Jim Bertulis returned to action for Bloomsburg on Friday 1/6 in their match against Drexel which the Dragons won by 1 point. Through the 1st half of the match Jim showed flashes of why he went to the NCAAs a year ago with a textbook takedown and quick tilt for backpoints. Mid-way through the 2nd period he was ahead by a score of 6-1 but eventually lost by fall in the 3rd. No doubt it is always a challenge to return to action mid-way through the season but look for Jim to get stronger each week going forward.

In perhaps the biggest upset of the day, Mike Conroy beat Penncrest sophmore Chuck Mulloy in their semi-final bout. Malloy is a returning state qualifier and was ranked 6th in the state in the pre-season rankings. Wazlawik continues a great start to his season which already includes a 4th place at Penn Manor and he is undefeated in dual meet action. Chesmont VS. SCCL Duals: After losing to Downingtown West by score of 53-13 in their opening match every wrestler gave their all in a tough hard fought meet against Henderson HS on 12/14.
