Snyder, Rovers tuned up for Konkrete Kids EASTON 48, LIBERTY 13. Senior Night goes smoothly for all six Easton seniors. Thursday, January 24, 2008 By MICHAEL BLOUSE The Express-Times PALMER TWP. | Jeremy Snyder tuned up for tonight's main event with a close, controversial win Wednesday night. Most of the other Easton Red Rovers also looked ready for prime time in a 48-13 Lehigh Valley Conference victory over Liberty at Easton Area High School's 25th Street Gym. "I wrestled all right," said Snyder, who won a 2-1 decision over Liberty's Zach Kisslinger at 160 pounds. "But I'm more focused on (Thursday)." All of the Red Rovers and their faithful fans are anxiously anticipating tonight's mega-match against Northampton. Easton owns a 14-1 record and No. 2 ranking in The Express-Times region; the Konkrete Kids are 16-0 and No. 1. The winner will almost certainly capture the LVC championship and claim the No. 1 seed for next weekend's District 11 Class AAA Duals. On Senior Night, each of the six Red Rover seniors were winners. Kegan Handlovic and Colin Dailey represented their class with pins, Jordan Oliver prevailed by technical fall, and Snyder, Tevin Gibson and Steve Vas won by decision. Oliver was the recipient of the Chuck Leiderman Memorial Award, presented annually to the match's most outstanding wrestler. Snyder earned a particularly close victory, as the 160-pound bout went to the third period scoreless. Snyder, who improved to 20-6 this season, reversed Kisslinger early in the third before the Liberty wrestler made it 2-1 with an escape at the 20-second mark. Kisslinger came close to a match-winning takedown in the final seconds -- and referee Vic Lesky awarded the two points before waiving off the takedown just before the buzzer. "I didn't even think it was too close," Snyder said of the near-takedown. "I was shocked when (the referee) called it. I was definitely relieved when he waved it away. I didn't want to go into (Thursday) with a loss." "Jeremy's a scrapper," Easton coach Steve Powell said, "and he's hard to referee. He gave the points, then he took them away. I don't think there was much of an argument." Liberty coach Jody Karam briefly disputed the call. Red Rover juniors Patrick Corpora and Eric Burgey prevailed in close bouts at 130 and 145 pounds, respectively. Corpora decisioned T.J. Bonilla 6-4. Burgey, ranked No. 2 in the region, came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat No. 4 Shane Kelly 11-5 in a battle of District 11's elite. In another matchup of ranked wrestlers, No. 3 Gibson opened up in the third period to defeat No. 4 Alex Perez 7-2. The featured bout of the evening went the way of the Hurricanes. At 112 pounds, No. 2 Anthony Marino majored No. 5 Joey Rizzolino 18-10. "Marino really dominated Rizzolino," Karam said. "I thought it would be a real close decision either way. I knew Anthony was tough, but I think he really turned the corner tonight." Liberty's other winners were Andrew Fiorini, who upset Mike Fleck 7-6 at 103, and Daryl Klotz, who won by pin at 189. Powell is confident that if his Red Rovers perform as well tonight as they did Wednesday night, Easton-Northampton will end up a thriller. The matchup, which was postponed by inclement weather last Thursday night, is scheduled for 7:30 at Shawnee Middle School. "I was really pleased with our overall attitude and confidence level," Powell said. "I'm very pleased. We're rested and ready to go."
