Wrestling Press Releases 2019-20 BUTLER WRESTLING PRESS RELEASES Butler Eagle Butler County's great daily newspaper Raiders bring back loaded lineup SV returns 4 wrestlers with 30-plus wins from last year John Enrietto, Eagle Staff Writer - December 7, 2019 Seneca Valley's defending state champion Alejandro Herrera-Rondon celebrates after pinning Hampton's Josh Campbell in a 120- pound match in the Section 3 semifinals last season. Herrera-Rondon is one of four 30-plus-win Raider wrestlers who return to the lineup this winter. FILE PHOTO A 30-win campaign is an outstanding season for a high school wrestler. Seneca Valley is bringing back four of those, including two — (Alejandro Herrera-Rondon (48-1) and Dylan Chappell (42-5) — with more than 40 wins. The Raiders also return three WPIAL champions (Hererra-Rondon, Chappell and Antonio Amelio) and three other wrestlers with at least 20 wins a year ago. “Our goal as a team is to maintain the level of competition we've had the past couple of years,” Seneca Valley coach Kevin Wildrick said. “The expectations are there.” Herrera-Rondon, a junior and defending PIAA champion, is 94-9 over two years. He recently committed to the University of Oklahoma. Chappell is headed to Bucknell. Former Raider Louis Newell is now starting at Pitt. Two of last year's seniors — Nick Montalbano (American) and Jason Geyer (New York University) — are now on collegiate wrestling scholarships. “The program is sending kids on to college and that's a big part of what we do,” Wildrick said. “And Alejandro's numbers ... They're ridiculous.” Butler returns a 30-win wrestler of its own in sophomore Cooper Baxter (30-10). Three other Golden Tornado wrestlers — Nick Schaukowitsch (28-9), Nate McMaster (28-14) and Steven Green (29-12) — won at least 28 matches last year and are still underclassmen. “We have a lot of balance and should be a good dual match team,” Butler coach Scott Stoner said. “We've got 24 kids up from 14 two years ago, and I think we can match up with people.” Three Butler graduates — Caleb Baxter (Waynesburg), Scott Dietrich (Mercyhurst) and Justin Johnson (Mercyhurst North East) — are wrestling in college. Here is a look at prospective lineups for Butler County teams this season: Butler - Coach: Scott Stoner, 27th year 106-Aiden Plopi (freshman), 113-Levi Donnel (freshman), 120-Nick Schaukowitsch (soph.) 28-9, 126- Domenic Vivirito (soph.) 18-10, 132-Colton Spohn (senior) 12-9 or Clayton Dressler (junior) 24-16), 138-Nate McMaster (junior) 28-14), 145-Cade Savochka (soph.) or Mickey Kreinbucher (freshman), 152-Steven Green (junior) 29-12, 160-Nate McDonald (senior) 17-11, 170-Hunter Neff (senior) 9-14, 182-Cooper Baxter (soph.), 30-10, 195-Caleb Hartung (senior) 25-14, 220-Jake Pomykata (soph) 16-12, 275-Shawndell Zapata (soph.) 21-10 or Greg Schultz (soph.) Seneca Valley - Coach: Kevin Wildrick, 9th year 106-113: Tyler Chappell (freshman) or Hunter Swedish (junior) 20-8, 120-Dylan Chappell (junior) 42- 5, 126-Evan Vetter (freshman), 132-Alejandro Herrera-Rondon (junior) 48-1, 138-Chanz Shearer (junior) 24-7, 145-152-Drew Vlasnik (senior) 31-11 or Antonio Amelio (junior) 30-15, 160-Caden Leighjty (senior), 170-Liam Volk-Klos (soph.) 19-19, 182-Open, 195-Patrick Johnson (senior) 22-12, 220-Nick Funovits (senior) 9-21, 275-Davin Beahm (senior) 15-19 Butler Eagle Butler County's great daily newspaper Butler Wrestlers Win Title 30 Team Chartiers Houston Tourney December 9, 2020 – Round-up Freshman Levi Donnel won the 113-pound weight class — pinning the top two seeds — and Butler won the Chartiers-Houston Tournament over the weekend. The Golden Tornado jumped out to an early lead after day one of the tournament and never looked back. Butler tallied 184 points to top the 30-team field. Pine-Richland had 164.5 points and Burgettstown was third with 161. Butler placed nine of their competing 13 wrestlers in the top six. Placing third in their respective weight classes for the Tornado were Colton Spohn at 132, Nate McMaster at 145, Cooper Baxter at 182 and Caleb Hartung at 195. Steven Green was fourth at 152.Nick Schaukowitsch at 120 and Nate McDonald at 160 were fifth while Jake Pomykata was sixth at 220. In all in the medal round Butler won 7 of 9 matches wrestled Butler Eagle Butler County's great daily newspaper Efficient Work, Butler uses 4 pins to score critical early dual match victory over Pine-Richland Mike Kilroy - Eagle Staff Writer - December 12, 2019 High School Wrestling Butler grappler Levi Donnell gets leverage under Pine-Richland wrestler Shane Simpson in their 113-pound match Wednesday night. Donnel won the match by pin. NATE BLACK/SPECIAL TO THE EAGLE BUTLER TWP — Cooper Baxter didn't waste any time. Neither did Caleb Hartung. Each Butler wrestler made quick work of his Pine- Richland opponent Wednesday night at the Butler Intermediate School. All three had first-period pins and picked up key points as the Golden Tornado cruised to a 42-28 win over the Rams. Freshman Levi Donnel also got a second-period pin for Butler at 113 pounds. It was a big victory for the Golden Tornado as section-openers go. The winner figured to have an inside track at a playoff spot far down the line. That inside track belongs to Butler. “They loaded the front end of the section schedule for us,” said Butler coach Scott Stoner. “Pine has some stud kids and we're not at the weights where I'd like us to be yet. We haven't really solidified our lineup yet. We shuffled some people around.” Still, Butler turned in some good performances across virtually every weight class and got a huge victory early in the section slate. The Golden Tornado did have to forfeit at 106, but only suffered one loss by pin. Butler also received two forfeit victories and the four pins by Donnel, Baxter (182), and Hartung (195). Stoner, though, was just as impressed by some of his wrestler's losses. Jake Pomykata lost by pin over the weekend to Pine-Richland's Zach Shaver. This time around when the two 220-pounders met, Pomykata dropped a 6-2 decision, but saved three points. “Toward the end he was still in it,” Stoner said of Pomykata. “He put himself in a situation where the guy, you could see him fading, and he could have maybe rolled him for five. He took a chance at it.” Nate McMaster was given the task of battling Pine-Richland's Nate Lukez at 152 pounds. Lukez, who is headed to West Point to wrestle, got the 11-3 major decision and his 100th career win. But McMaster avoided a pin and nearly got a takedown late that would have erased the major. “The Lukez kid is tough. I respect him a lot,” Stoner said. “I saw some growth in those things,” Stoner added. “I was happy about that, even though we lost.” Pine-Richland coach Caleb Kolb, a Grove City High graduate and standout wrestler in his days with the Eagles, said missing out on those extra points was costly. “Not the outcome we wanted,” Kolb said. “We had a couple of guys hurt and we gave up some forfeits.” Lukez, Robert Palmiere (126), Cole Spencer (160) — the quarterback on the Rams' football team and who is headed to wrestle at Penn — were bright spots for Pine-Richland. “He's one of those guys who comes in and gets the room going,” Kolb said of Lukez. “He stays after practice to work on things. That's good for these younger guys to see.” Butler is witnessing the beginning of perhaps another wrestling phenom. Donnel has dominated this season. He was at it again with a pin in 2:35. Donnel is now 5-0 with four pins this season. He won the 113-pound weight class at the Chartiers-Houston Tournament over the weekend, pinning the top three seeds despite being unseeded himself. “He was really phenomenal this weekend,” Stoner said. “He's going to be solid. The one thing I like about Levi is he didn't wrestle last year in junior high for us. He chose to go and wrestle some opens and other club stuff, but he's been nothing but positive and a sponge since he got here. He's done a nice job.” Butler 42, Pine-Richland 28 (Match started at 138 pounds) 106-Anthony Ferraro (PR) by forfeit; 113-Levi Donnel (B) pinned Shane Simpson 2:35; 120-Nick Schaukowitsch (B) by forfeit; 126-Robert Palmiere (PR) tech fall Eli Everhard 20-5; 132-Kelin Laffey (PR) maj dec.
