Freshman opt to try their hand at high school wresting
Phoenixville’s wrestling team, under third-year head coach Dave Saville, has a young squad for the 2010-11 season.
The Phantoms have three seniors, two juniors, four sophomores and nine freshmen on the 18-man roster. The ninth graders have opted to try their hand at the rigors of senior high school wrestling as opposed to middle school wrestling.
The Phantoms have dropped their first two Pioneer Athletic Conference matches to powerful Spring-Ford, 62-9, and then Boyertown, 57-9, Wednesday night in a pair of home meets. However, Phoenixville has had some bright spots in the matches and at some tournaments in which they have competed.
Phoenixville’s top senior is Ken Cenci (285), a returning Southeast Regional qualifier at 215 pounds who is also the top-rated heavyweight in the Pottstown/Phoenixville area and one of the top-ranked in his weight class in District 1 Class AAA. Cenci now has 86 career victories and hopes to have a solid remainder of the dual meet season and then go far during the postseason tournaments to reach the coveted 100-victory plateau for his career. Cenci is off to a 17-1 start this season and his only loss was a narrow 3-2 decision to highly regarded Mark Muscari of West Chester Henderson in the season-opening Rustin Rumble Tournament at West Chester Bayard Rustin High School.
Only three Phoenixville wrestlers have achieved that mark. They are Jason Meister (126), Class of 1999: Bret Wade (114), Class of 201; and Dominic Viola (112), Class of 2001. Meister wrestled in college at Baptist Bible and Wade at Kutztown University.
The Phantoms’ other seniors are Matt Cermanski, a returning district qualifier at 145/152 pounds; and Joe Giampietro (171).
Juniors are Brendon Bonner (135), who has been one of the Phantoms’ most improved wrestlers; and Sam LaPorte (160/171).
Sophomores are Ed McCarthy (103/112), Henry Hancock (145), Jordan Valenteen (135-145), Ben Turner (119) and Chris Schelberg (140).
Freshmen include Tristen Alvaredo (119), D.J. Brock (125), Colin Mea (171), Will Miller (119), Chris Modica (145), Paul Hossler (140), Tim Labik (145), Justin McDougal (160), Patrick McGinnis (119).
