ArmDrag.com is looking for volunteers to help populate the Archives.
We're not only looking for results, but tournament brackets, photos, and
articles as well. Many college and public libraries have microform copies
of complete newspapers dating back over 100 years. In them, you can find
lots of wrestling results. If you enjoy doing research, and you have some time,
make a trip to the library and check it out. Ask a librarian how to get
started and how to print out the articles that you find.

Grappling with controversy
By JIM EICHENHOFER, Staff Writer
Finger Lakes Times
February 7, 2003
WATERLOO — Amid a cascade of boos from a large segment of an irate home
crowd, the victorious North Rose-Wolcott wrestling team headed toward the
locker room Thursday night to celebrate a controversial 36-31 verdict. With
the win, the Cougars had defended their Finger Lakes Central title.
Seconds later, in the words of Cougars head coach James Prentice, matters
turned “ugly.”
As Prentice and his grapplers walked toward a corner of the gymnasium,
several Waterloo spectators began exchanging heated words with their North
Rose-Wolcott counterparts, who were seated near the entrance to the Cougars’
locker room. A handful of spectators threw objects, including water bottles.
Meanwhile, in response to catcalls from some Waterloo fans seated in the
gym’s balcony, at least one NR-W wrestler directed an obscene gesture toward
those Tribe supporters.
Fortunately, there were no fisticuffs or injuries. When a member of the
Waterloo village police department arrived soon thereafter, cooler heads
already had prevailed, and the visiting Cougars had been whisked to their
team bus to avoid any further confrontations.
The bizarre melee resulted from a discrepancy over Waterloo standout Jarrod
Ticconi’s weight, a disparity that likely determined the match’s outcome.
With Waterloo holding a 31-27 lead and just two bouts remaining — at 189 and
215 pounds — the Indians needed a win in either matchup to clinch the
victory and the FL Central crown. Waterloo appeared to be in optimum
position to do so, because Ticconi was slated to wrestle the 215-pound bout.
However, when Waterloo’s Justin Van Orden stepped onto the mat for the
189-pound affair, Prentice signaled the referee. Prentice told the official
that according to his weigh-in sheet, Ticconi could not participate at 215.
A wrestler must weigh a minimum of 180 to compete in that class, but
Prentice’s list indicated that Ticconi had weighed in at 179.9.
Since Van Orden had already set foot on the mat, by rule Waterloo head coach
Tyrone Thomas could not pull Van Orden back and use Ticconi at 189 — making
Ticconi ineligible to wrestle in either bout.
NR-W’s Jeremy Aumick subsequently posted a decision over Van Orden to cut
the visitors’ deficit to 31-30. Nate Hayes then sealed the Cougar victory by
pinning Matt Crance in 27 seconds. Crance was forced to fill in for Ticconi,
who — along with Thomas — was incensed upon learning he would not be allowed
to compete at 215.
Adding to the confusion: A hand-written weight sheet that Thomas displayed
after the match listed Ticconi’s weight at 179.9, next to a ‘180’ that had
been scribbled over. Thomas was unsure whether the number had been
intentionally changed, saying it was possible the varying figures were the
result of Ticconi being called back to the scale after an initial
measurement.
Thomas lodged an official protest with the referee, but was not optimistic
that it would result in the final two bouts of the match being re-wrestled.
Meanwhile, Prentice explained that he anticipated Ticconi would compete at
189, as Ticconi had in Waterloo’s match against Midlakes earlier Thursday.
When Van Orden stepped onto the mat instead, Prentice notified the ref of
Ticconi’s status.
“I fully expected they were going to put their 189-pounder (Ticconi) out
there,” Prentice said. “And so when they put the other boy on the mat, that
meant (Ticconi) was disqualified at 215 because he did not weigh enough. I
feel that it’s important to note that I went over there and told (a Waterloo
assistant) not to (use Ticconi at 215).
“It was a coaching mistake made. I made it myself when I was a younger
coach. You have to weigh at least 180 pounds to compete at heavyweight — he
only weighed 179 pounds. That’s an oversight.”
Prentice, cursed by a Waterloo athlete during a post-match interview,
defended his decision, saying he was simply applying the rule book.
“The word is going to be out that there was cheating by us tonight, but
that’s only because people aren’t aware of the rules,” Prentice said.
“(Ticconi) did not weigh enough to compete at that weight class. It was that
simple. That’s the way the rules are.
“It’s too bad that it has to end that way. After that happened, you knew it
was going to be ugly. I didn’t want it to be ugly like this, but that’s the
way it turned out.”
Thomas countered that Prentice’s decision to render Ticconi ineligible may
have been legal, but was not within the spirit of the rules. Thomas said
Ticconi had wrestled up at 215 several times this season and had not weighed
less than 180 all year. If Thomas had known Ticconi couldn’t wrestle at 215,
the first-year head coach would have moved him to 189.
“I like (Prentice), but come on,” Thomas said. “You’ve got to take a match
that way? We could have put Jarrod at 189 and won the match, but Jarrod
wanted to wrestle the tougher opponent, which he’s done all year long. (His
weight has) never been a question.
“We wanted to stay close and have it be decided by Jarrod. That’s what we
did. To lose a match that way, is pretty disheartening for me as a coach,
and it’s disheartening for my kids because basically, it’s like stealing the
match.”
Thomas questioned the timing of his opposite’s decision to notify the
referee.
“I think that part of the rules is (a clause) that says, within reason,”
Thomas explained. “I think if I was in the same boat, I wouldn’t do that to
someone else. You either deserve to win or you don’t. Tonight our kids
deserved to win.”
“Ten years ago, when I first started out, it happened to me,” said Prentice
of Ticconi’s ineligibility. “Ever since then, I never made that mistake
again. You just have to be careful. It’s part of the procedures: Knowing how
much a boy has to weigh in order to compete at a certain weight. It’s a hard
lesson to learn.”
Earlier in the day, both squads defeated Midlakes, setting up a head-to-head
matchup to decide the FL Central crown. Waterloo scored a 42-19 victory over
the Screaming Eagles, while NR-W triumphed 57-9.
Seeking its first league championship since the 1980s, Waterloo captured the
first four bouts on the way to a 19-0 lead. Bryant Tumbelekis opened with a
pin at 103, followed by victories from Anthony Guererri (decision), Tony
DiDuro (technical fall) and Curtis Wheeler (decision).
Brian Van Norman put NR-W (7-1, 5-0) on the scoreboard with a pin at 130,
but Josh Mateo’s pin at 135 put Waterloo (8-1, 4-1) in front 25-6. From
there, the Cougars went 6-1 over the final seven bouts.
After a forfeit win at 140, Matt LaValley produced a technical-fall verdict
to cut the visitors’ gap to 25-18. Waterloo’s Dustin Thomas answered with a
major decision for a 31-18 advantage, before NR-W’s Mike Webster and Matt
Dumas followed with a pin and decision, respectively. Dumas eked out a 7-6
win over Dean Lemmon by tallying a point with one second remaining in
regulation, making the overall count 31-30 entering the final two bouts.
