SPRING-FORD WRESTLING
The Spring-Ford Rams captured their first Pioneer Athletic Conferece (PAC-10) wrestling title, a co-championship with Boyertown, Wednesday night. Both the Rams and Bears finished 7-1 in league action to share the crown.
It marked the second straight title for Boyertown in a wrestling field that had been dominated in recent years by Upper Perkiomen.
The Rams were coached by former Spring-Ford Area High School and Ursinus College wrestler Tim Seislove and his assistant coaches, Jason Kerkusz and John Holsinger.
Seislove also served as an assistant coach during the Rams’ glory years under coach Pat Nugent, now the Spring-Ford High School principal, during the 1990s.
Spring-Ford defeated Pottstown, 52-18, at the Trojans’ Strom Gymnasium Wednesday night while Boyertown downed St. Pius X, 61-13, to seal the co-championship for the 2007-08 campaign. The Rams’ lone loss was to Perkiomen Valley while Boyertown’s only setback came against Spring-Ford.
Justin Franiak (heavyweight), Brandon Duffy (125 pounds), Alan Gauger (130), Gareth Cooper (140) and Matt Patterson (160) registered the Rams’ five pins against the Trojans.
Tom Boring (103) scored a major decision, Anthony Wallick (112) and Ryan Kemmerer (135) forfeits, and Matt Kreuger (152) and Alex Kanakis (189) had decisions.
Tim Seislove and his older brother, Dan Seislove, were both wrestling standouts for the Rams before entering the coaching ranks. Dan is the former head coach at Quakertown High School.
Tim Seislove coached at Pottsgrove High School prior to joining the staff at Spring-Ford. Tim teaches health and physical education at the Spring-Ford Area Middle School.
Older sister Jane Seislove was also a sports star at Spring-Ford in field hockey, basketball and lacrosse. She formerly coached field hockey at Spring-Ford High School.
The Seislove children’s parents are Jerry and Ann Seislove, both of whom were teachers in the Spring-Ford Area School District. Jerry also coached junior high football for 20 years at Spring-Ford before joining the senior high school staff as an assistant coach. He also coached Spring City’s Senior American Legion baseball team during the 1970s.
Jerry and Ann Seislove still make their home on Church Street in Royersford.
Jerry, Ann and Jane still faithfully attend the Rams’ matches to watch Tim coach and to cheer Spring-Ford on.
