Mat milestone

Woodstown’s Balback scores 100th career win, Hyland recognized for his 300 coaching wins; story will be updated

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

WOODSTOWN – One of the first things Travis Balback did when he made the Penns Grove varsity wrestling roster four years ago was pull out a piece of paper and write three numbers on it in big, bold letters: 1-0-0.

BALBACK

He put the paper away in a safe place and went back to it after each match he won, drawing a hash mark counting down the big number to zero.

One hundred wins was always a goal of his from the time he started wrestling. He took that paper with him when he transferred to Woodstown and Saturday he scratched the last tick mark off that goal with his 100th career win, an 11-8 decision over Justin Scotton at 132 in the Wolverines’ 32-31 criteria loss to Delran.

He picked up No. 101 with a 54-second pin of Brennan Albright in their 62-12 win over Haddon Heights.

“It’s been a goal since I was a kid to get 100 in high school,” Balback said. “It’s a big accomplishment … It’s something I’ve always wanted.”

He is the ninth Woodstown wrestler to reach the milestone and first since Hunter Gandy in 2021.

Another kind of 100 threatened to derail his bid to get it Saturday. Overnight he was fighting a fever that touched 101 and kept him up all night. But he was determined to go. He had never missed a match due to illness or injury and with the milestone right in front of him he wasn’t about to do that now.

“I felt pretty bad, just gassed,” he said. “Still with some sickness, but, then, you know, it’s wrestling. I was wrestling no matter what. I knew what the goal was, what the mindset was; I had to be here no matter what. It made me wrestle tougher and want it more.”

“He never misses practice,” Wolverines coach Adam Hyland said. “He came to Woodstown to wrestle. He’s a phenomenal kid. He’s a great leader the last two years for us. He’s just a great kid all the way around. Super proud he gets his name on the banner on the board here so he’ll be remembered forever.”

Woodstown coach Adam Hyland congratulates Travis Balback Saturday after the senior scored his 100th career win.

Wrestling up in class at 132, Balback was giving up inches and pounds to his opponent, but held his own. He led 6-2 at the end of the first period and 10-4 at the end of the second. Scotton got closed the gap to 11-8 where a takedown would’ve made things really interesting, but Balback held his ground.

He didn’t feel well the entire match and took the moments it spilled off the mat to recharge. He got a big breather in the third period when Scotton’s headgear came off and officials stopped the bout to put it back.

When it was over, Hyland was the first to walk out and shake his hand. Teammates gathered around for pictures and then it was on to the next match.

“Even when I go to the region tournament I’ve noticed there are very few kids who win 100 matches each year,” Hyland said. “It shows consistency, that you were able to be on the mat for four years every year without injury, you’re obviously good averaging 24 matches per year. It says a lot to get to 100 wins.”

Even though Balback has reached the milestone, there are no plans to retire that piece of paper.

“We’ll just keep going,” he said. “Do as much more as I can.”

Balback wasn’t the only one the Wolverines celebrated Saturday.

Before the match with Delran, school officials recognized Hyland’s 300 career coaching wins. He reached the milestone on Jan. 22 against Overbrook, becoming the third coach in school history to hit the mark (baseball’s Lee Ware, soccer’s Darren Huck). He is the winningest active coach in Salem County. 

Since taking the program in 2004, Hyland’s teams have won nine region championships, seven Tri-County Conference division titles and had four wrestlers place in the state tournament.

“I’m not a big stat guy, I just kind of live in the moment, want to wrestle these matches individually every time we wrestle, but obviously to get to a certain milestone like that make me feel good,” Hyland said. “We’ve sort of built the program over the years, got to a certain level, and I’ve been really proud that we put Woodstown on the map in a lot of ways.”

Woodstown wrestling coach Adam Hyland (C) accepts the banner commemorating his 300 career wins from Wolverines heavyweight Mateo Vinciguerra as son Greyson looks on.

Shorthanded Schalick falls short in challenging powerhouse Paulsboro in South Jersey Group I wrestling finals

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

PAULSBORO – When you’re already the underdog and facing a program that practically owns the championship trophy, it helps to have all your weapons.

Schalick was “shocking the world” getting to the sectional final for the first time in school history Thursday. But the Cougars didn’t go in with all their bullets and as hard as they tried to make a stand they fell to Paulsboro in the South Jersey Group I championship match 56-17.

It was the Red Raiders’ 45th sectional wrestling title.

“A lot of things had to happen our way,” Schalick coach Joe Frassenei said. “Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. I’m happy we scored 17 points.”

The Cougars (24-2) set a school record for wins in getting to the finals, but they went into the match without three 20-win wrestlers. They already knew they’d be without 165 Eric Sulik – he broke his nose in last week’s Pennsauken match — but the absences of E’Shion Underwood (120) and Koen Martin (144) were a more recent development they declined to talk about.

It caused Frassenei to get creative with his lineup, tinkering with it all the way up to match time. He already had second-year wrestler and JV undefeated Dezy Purnell in at 165, but dropped Caleb Jenkins from 113 into the leadoff match at 120 right before the call to the mat and plugged Jacob Potts in a 144. All three were pinned.

“We couldn’t make any moves,” Frassenei said. “We had to go strength on strength and their strength was a little bit better.

“Like at 150, I probably would have bumped around, created more opportunities for us, but when you don’t have the checkers to play with, you don’t have the checkers to play with.”

Athena Eberl even volunteered to wrestle at 120 to give the Cougars some flexibility, but if she weighed in at 120 she wouldn’t be able to compete in her regular weight class in the girls regionals, where she is expected to be a contender.

“We have that kind of team,” Frassenei said. “They just want to step up and fill the gap. That’s the kind of kids these are. They are willing to step in.”

The Cougars got behind early and couldn’t get catch up. Paulsboro won the first two bouts with a pin and tech fall to go out 11-0.

Ryan Miller got the Cougars on the board with a second-period pin a 132, but Paulsboro won the next five bouts to stand on the verge of clinching. One of the key results in the run was Kyaire Harvey’s 12-6 decision over Ayden Jenkins at 150. It was a tight bout throughout, but Harvey scored a takedown with 15 seconds left in the third period followed by a near fall to win. 

Schalick now had no margin for error. Ricky Watt and Evan Elliot kept the Cougars alive. Watt remained undefeated on the season with a tech fall at 175 and Elliott followed with a pin at 190.

“It’s always winnable so, I went out there (and) I did my best,” Elliott said. “I did everything I needed to do. It was tough going out there knowing it was going to be hard to win but I trusted my teammates and whatever happens happens.”

“I just wanted to try to bring the score back as much as I could,” Watt said. “If I could go out there and get a pin, that’s what I wanted to do. That’s all you really can do is go out and do your part. You can’t really control what your teammates do, you just want to go out and do as much as you can to help your team.”

Their wins, however, just delayed the inevitable. Frank Damminger scored an 8-5 decision over Gerardo Felipe at 215 to clinch the match. The Red Raiders also won at 285 to extend the lead and Schalick forfeited the last two weight classes.

The Cougars were disappointed they couldn’t go farther, but 157 Riley Papiano probably had the best perspective of the night. He said it might have been a loss on the scoreboard, but it was a win in the history of the school and its wrestling program.

“We’re tenth graders, the majority of this team is ninth and tenth graders, we had 10 guys in ninth and tenth grade who started for us,” Frassenei said. “We’re young. We don’t have seven seniors like they do. Audubon (who they beat in the semis) has seven or eight. We plan on being back.”

AUDUBON – Riley Papiano has never felt so happy to be dropped on his head before.

Papiano painfully won his match at 157 in the South Jersey Group 1 wrestling semifinals Monday night when Audubon’s Pedro Marte was disqualified for slamming the Schalick senior to the mat.

As much as it hurt in the moment, Papiano knew what it meant. The win clinched the Cougars’ 36-31 victory over the No. 1 seed sending them to the sectional final for the first time in school history.

“It was a great night,” Papiano said. “I think it was amazing for the team, the school, everybody.

“I don’t think anybody counted on us getting this far. All the newspapers were going against us and I think we’re just shocking the world. We’re showing everybody else wrong that we can compete at a higher level than anybody else thinks we can.”

The school-record setting win sends the once-beaten Cougars (24-1) to Paulsboro Wednesday – weather permitting – to face the perennial power Red Raiders for a spot in the state final four.

“I don’t think anyone thought we had a shot,” Schalick coach Joe Frassenei said. “Everyone was like, you don’t wrestle a good enough schedule. They weren’t afraid of the big situation. They just wrestled them like they were another opponent and went out and did a great job.

“I told my assistant it was like disbelief (when they clinched). We knew we had a shot, but then reality set in that we actually are going to the South Jersey final for the first time in school history.”

The Cougars had a lot of work to do to get there. Ricky Watt (175) and Evan Elliott (190) “really set the tone for the whole night” with a pin and decision in the first two weight classes to get them rolling.

The Green Wave (22-5) won the next four bouts to go up 20-9. The Cougars stormed back to retake the lead 24-20 on wins from E’Shion Underwood, Luke Silva and Ryan Miller, but Audubon took it right back on Tyler Perozzi’s tech fall at 138 to set up the end game.

Koen Martin (144) and Ayden Jenkins (150) won tight decisions to set up the Papiano-Marte match. If Marte won, the match would go down to the final bout. If Papiano won, it was over.

“I was more proud of the team (than his win),” said Papiano, who’s headed to Norwich (Vt.) University to play football. “It was a team win tonight, it wasn’t an individual. It wouldn’t have been a clinch if Ricky Watt didn’t pin in the first and Ayden Jenkins did get that tough match or Koen didn’t squeeze by and all these other matches, it wouldn’t have mattered.

“As a team I think we embrace (the underdog role) fully. We know no one believes in us and we know every time we win it just makes everybody else more mad.”

If the Cougars are able to pull it off Wednesday, Papiano said, “it would mean the world” to him. He also was part of the Schalick football team that played for South Jersey Group I title in the final.

“Two sectional final games in one year for me is amazing,” he said. “I’d love to win one.”

The Cougars got to Audubon by beating Haddon Twp. in the quarterfinals 44-36. They opened a 44-0 lead, then forfeited the last six weight classes. 

Paulsboro got through its half of the bracket by beating Pitman 45-24 and Woodstown 38-37. Sawyer Cabanas pinned Thomas Lacy in 21 seconds at 157 to give Paulsboro a 13-point lead in the Woodstown match and the Red Raiders forfeited the last two weight classes to bring the final margin.

Woodstown took out Pennsville 61-16 in its first-round match.

SALEM – Even though his team was facing an opponent that had 19 wins and was fourth in South Jersey Group 3, Salem basketball coach Anthony Farmer believed it was a winnable game if the Rams brought the right energy.

But even with a Senior Day celebration to add some more juice, the Rams were flat and lost to Absegami 56-43.

The Braves are now 20-3 with a 12-game winning streak.

“I wish I had some answers for you, but the whole game it was energy and effort,” Farmer said. “This was considered a big one for us, we needed this one (and) thought it was a winnable opportunity for us if we played with the right spirit. We just didn’t have the spirit. We didn’t have the energy, effort that we needed.

“You expect the guys to come out and play with some spirit, play with some energy and effort and fly around and we just didn’t have that today. We were flat.”

The big downer was the third quarter. The Rams (9-11) were held to one late field goal and outscored 18-3.

It was a tight game early with the teams trading baskets through 7-7. The Braves started exerting its game-long dominance in the paint and opened an 18-8 lead, but the Rams buried three straight 3s by Tymear Lecator and Xavier McGriff to climb back in it.

It was a four-point game when Absegami coach John Arcidiacono called time with 2:43 left in the first half after Jermyis Burroughs’ 3-pointer gave the Braves a 23-19 lead and then then they really went to work.

They gave up a bucket to Neziah Spence that made it 24-21 then didn’t allow another bucket until Azhone Burden’s running hook with 2:08 left in the third quarter. It was the Rams’ only basket of the third quarter.

“It’s a (close) game at halftime, you’ve got to come out, make a shot or two, get some stops and the game could change just like that,” Farmer said. “Obviously, a three-point quarter, things didn’t go our way … We just need to be better. We need to be able to use energy or we’ll be out (of the playoffs) early.”

The Rams recognized their two seniors before the game and both scored in the game. Burden scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds. Joe Tunis scored a bucket in the fourth quarter.

The game also marked the return of Darrelle Johnson. The junior guard had to sit out since Jan. 13 when the NJSIAA declared him ineligible for a violation of its transfer rules and stripped the Rams of four wins that interrupted Farmer’s run towards 100 career victories.
