Varsity Qualifies 5 and 1 Alternate for Masters

Congrats to Varsity Placers and Alternates at the 2009 CIF Division I Tournament Saturday.  The tournament was held at Escondido. Due to injuries, flu, and the 21 match rule, we were only able to take 10 of 14. Of that 10, we qualified 5 for Masters this week, Wilson Lu at 105 (6th), Josh Edralin at 114 (7th), Carldee Soriano 135 (8th), Dexter Carranza 140 (6th) and Gabi Mussallam 215 (3rd).  Sr. Paulo Tolentino is an alternate at 130.

The 8 finishers at each weight go on to Masters State Qualifier this week.

GOOD LUCK to all the MASTERS bound MARAUDERS.

CITY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Varsity Takes First

Your Marauder Varsity stunned the city conference with a tremendous first place win, in the 2009 Willie Jones Memorial City Championship, just barely nipping Eastern League rival and 2009 Eastern League Champions, Patrick Henry by 1.5 points 211.5 to 210.  Other Eastern League teams Morse (170 points) and host team Scripps Ranch followed right behind.

The team was led by Jr Carldee Soriano who was the 135 lb Champion followed by  Srs Wilson Lu (2nd at 105 lbs) and Dexter Carranza (2nd at 140 lbs), and Jr Josh Edralin who finished 2nd at 112 lbs.

Wilson Lu vs Scripps Ranch

The team scored more points than any Marauder Team that any of the coaches could remember. The run for the championship started in the first round, where the Marauders won 7 of 9 matches, all with pins.  In the second round, they covered all but one of the BYE matches in the first round picking up 8 bonus points (points for"byes" are only awarded if the wrestler wins in the following round).

Wilson Lu vs Catherdral at City 2009

At the end of the first round, the Marauders led with 28 points, Henry had 25 and Scripps Ranch 24. But by the next time Team Scores were announced, Patrick Henry who had defeated the Marauders soundly in league had pulled away by 9 score PH 96, MM 85, Morse 79...as the day went on MM closed the gap just a bit to 5 points...PH 99, MM94, SR and Morse at 82.5 and 82...the last time scores were posted it was PH 149, MM 144, Morse 121 and SR 119.

During the next two rounds coaches tried to track the scoring...parents and wrestlers in the stands said they were trying to keep track...but things were going along really fast, with 3rds and 5ths being wrestled out of order because of minimum times between matches and the 5 match maximums being applied to the tournament.

Chris Pappas vs Scripps in Dual

We fell behind a bit at the finals, loosing 3 out of 4, our hope being the 3rd thru 5th place finishes...but no one was sure of what the final outcome would be,,,it was just too close to call...As awards were being handed out, most everyone gathered by the podium waiting for the team finals to be announced...see, you win individual awards, but the CITY Championship is primarily a TEAM event...

The first announcement was for MORSE...3rd  Place
They took the podium to applause of parents and well wishers...

The guys were waiting to be called up for second...

then the stunning announcement...that there was a virtual dead heat...
with only 1.5 points separating the two teams...
after a short pause the announcement was made for the 2nd place team...
PATRICK HENRY

The Marauders in the stands, and sitting on the rolled up mats went crazy. 
I've never seen a more excited bunch. We celebrated at Pizza Hut...It was surrealistic ....no one could believe we'd won...everyone had the realization of how important each other's accomplishments had been...if even one wrestler on the team had not advanced or a sixth place had fallen to a 7th, or a 3rd had been a 4th, or any combination of events throughout the day had been just a little bit different, it would changed the outcome.

Someone said it was like the Heith Ledger movie "Knights Tale",
and that they'd felt like they'd "Changed their Stars".

Just could be....NEXT WEEK CIF at ESCONDIDO!!!
