Just one full week into the regular season, the Jamesville-DeWitt/CBA wrestling team already had earned a clean sweep of both of its neighbors.
Following a 69-9 romp over Fayetteville-Manlius on Nov. 29, J-D/CBA went to the Morrisville-Eaton Duals three days later and, on the way to a perfect 5-0 mark, defeated East Syracuse Minoa 68-18.
Tyriq Block won the 170-pound opener, getting a 21-6 technical fall over Aslan Abdulla. After a pair of forfeits, Adam Honis (220 pounds) beat Ameer Ladd 8-1.
ESM would take the next three bouts, starting at 285 pounds with Logan Cowell pinning Chris Hemingway in the second period. Christian Moon (99 pounds) had a second-period fall over Cory Bauer as Dakota Allen (106 pounds) pinned Connor Muller in 39 seconds.
Matt Griffin (113 pounds) and Myles Griffin (120 pounds) had quick pins of their own for J-D/CBA, Matt Griffin finishing off Alex Leo in 46 seconds and Myles Griffin requiring 40 seconds for his fall over Noah Harbinger.
That began a J-D/CBA sweep of the rest of the matches. Three were forfeits, but Aaron Gucciardi (132 pounds) got a last-second pin over Nolan Palmer as Garrett Bauer (145 pounds) and Carlos Martinez (160 pounds) earned their own third-period pins over, respectively, Casey O’Donnell and Austin West.
Earlier in the M-E Duals, J-D/CBA had routed Cazenovia 69-10, with Kelvin Huynh (138 pounds), Ethan Wells (120 pounds), James Richer (195 pounds), William BeSeth (99 pounds) and David BeSeth (106 pounds) joining Garrett Bauer and the Griffin brothers in earning pins. Tyler Kellison, at 132 pounds, won a wild 19-11 decision over the Lakers’ Matt McLaughlin.
Against host Morrisville-Eaton, J-D/CBA won 62-18, with pins from Martinez, Wells, Garrett Bauer and David BeSeth, and in a 56-26 win over Vernon-Verona-Sherrill both BeSeth brothers and both Griffin brothers earned pins, as did Honis and Bauer as Block survived a 16-10 battle with Jevit Cumber.
The closest match at M-E saw J-D/CBA defeat Walton-Delhi 43-28, and it required a comeback from a 28-18 deficit with victories in each of the last five bouts.
Kellison began the comeback at 126, pinning Nick Lamoreaux in 69 seconds. Gucciardi’s 64-second fall over Ty Robinson preceded Huynh beating Tracer Howland 7-3 and a forfeit to Bauer before Alikhan Abdullayev beat Vinny Escobar 10-2.
Myles Griffin took his first loss of the season, a tough 9-7 battle with Caleb Robinson, but Matt Griffin held off Chandler Merwin 3-1 as Honis pinned Dalton MacEntee in 44 seconds and Block beat Ethan Church 6-1.
ESM took a 55-30 loss to Walton-Delhi, despite four Spartans pins. Abdulla got his fall over Ethan Church in the third period as Andrew Crone (195) pinned Scotty Barnhart in 43 seconds, with Ladd pinning MacEntee in 90 seconds and Palmer pinning Robinson in the third period. Also, ESM lost, 48-36, to Morrisville-Eaton, with Ladd, Allen and Austin West (160) earning pins.
In the Spartans’ 57-28 defeat to VVS, Crone beat Zach Audette 15-8, with Moon pinning Aiden Munz in the waning seconds of their bout and Leo getting a third-period pin over Alex Hyman. West had a 5-1 overtime loss to Austin Forbes.
CBA/J-D went to Auburn last Wednesday and won again, a 61-15 romp where the Maroons forfeited six different bouts after seeing Honis claim an injury in the opener at 220, defaulting to Michael Hamilton.
Jake Wright had the quickest pin at 182 pounds, topping Tom Pilbeam in 54 seconds. Kellison needed 77 seconds to pin Eric Anseth as Wells pinned Jamyr Grimes in 3:11. Bauer won, 13-5, over Liam McLoughlin before Abdullayev claimed a 7-3 win over Alex Ansteth.
In its home opener, ESM faced Liverpool and lost, 62-24, to the Warriors, who won the first six bouts on the card, four of them pins and another with a forfeit.
