BATH — North Rose-Wolcott and Waterloo have developed quite a rivalry in the Finger Lakes Central wrestling loop. Those schools have won the last three league titles, with their regular-season meeting deciding the outcome each time.
They eyed the Section V Class BBBB wrestling tournament over the weekend as one last chance to decide 2004-05 supremacy.
Just as they had during the regular season, the Cougars prevailed.
Mike Tellier and Mike Webster highlighted NR-W's performance at Haverling High School with championship showings. Webster was impressive in the 171-pound final, pinning Hornell's Dan Rosemeier in the second period. Tellier took the 119-pound crown — he was the 103-pound champion last year — with a 5-2 decision over Dansville's Justin Walker.
The Cougars finished with 135 points, good for fifth place in the 13-team field. Hornell won the team title with 202 points.
Finger Lakes East member Palmyra-Macedon topped area schools with 1371/2 points, just ahead of NR-W in fourth. Waterloo wound up sixth with 101 points, followed in the rundown by fellow FL Central schools Mynderse (961/2) and Midlakes (901/2).
Waterloo's Josh Mateo earned a sectional patch for the second straight season, outpointing Wayland-Cohocton's Nick Sikes 8-5 in the 140-pound final.
Penn Yan's Kyle Heitmann won the unlimited division, copping a 7-5 win over Midlakes counterpart Chris Teed.
For the second consecutive winter, Pal-Mac boasted three champions. Dan Rudy, named the tournament's outstanding heavyweight, became a two-time sectional champion when he decisioned Haverling's Tony Viselli 2-1 in the 160-pound final. Teammates Sean Walton (112) and Mike Ciaburri (145) each won more comfortable decisions.
Waterloo's Dean Lemmon, NR-W's Matt LaValley, Pal-Mac's Alex Ekstrom and Midlakes' Morgan Hoven and Enan Congdon joined Teed as runners-up. Hoven dropped a 9-8 heartbreaker to 135-pound winner Aaron Parks of Hornell.
NR-W's Josh Bielemeier and Sean Wahl, Waterloo's Bryant Tumbelekis and Dave Everett, Mynderse Academy's Randy Dove and Robert O'Connor and Pal-Mac's Jeff Witt earned thirds. Chris Stobie and Adam Biesenbach of Midlakes, Chris D'Amato and Alvin Chen of Mynderse, Cody Williams of Pal-Mac and D.T. Benedict of Penn Yan wound up fourth.
