We just never quit" ' McCoy said Pretty and Scales ·know what to expect when it comes . to the state tournament "Nothing is ever too big for them," McCoy said. 'Their de-meanor is just that they're having fun. Obviously, they expect to be state champions, and anything .: short of that is a disappointment" ;· The state tournament starts at , 3 p.m. today at Ohio State Universi•ty's Schottenstein Center. : The competition resumes at ~ 10 am. Friday and the same time ~Saturday morning. The finals are •expected to start about 5:50 p.m. :Saturday. • Lakewood St Edward, which :qualified 11 wrestlers, is the favorite ·again. St Ed has won 11 consecu~ tive state titles. But Bob Preusse, high school columnist/ranker at Amateur ·Wrestling News, said the Panthers · have an opportunity at second ·place. : ''I've been saying that Moeller is · the second-best team in Division I, :but (there is) a good chance they · won't win state," Preusse said. ''It looks more and more that way now with Elder having eight state qualifiers to Moeller's six." Moeller, which was district runner-up, is ranked No. 1 in the season's final Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll. Moeller had four district champions, including sophomore Jacob Corrill (103), senior Adam Wallalider (119), senior Matt Melink (140) and senior Eric Gobin (152). Melink has won 19 of his past 20

matches, including wins over individuals from state powers St Paris Graham. and Troy Christian, according to Moeller coach Jeff Gaier. .

Johnny Carpenter (304) became the first Madeira freshman to win the district tournament, Madeira coach Jason Foley said.

; To say Lakota West senior Ryan Fields wrestles with intensity is an tmderstatement. , Fields, headed to UNC Greens.: boro next year, finished first Saturday at the Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Classic, but it wasn't enough for his team to break into the top three, as the Firebirds finished fourth. , . Fields won all of his matches by pin in the·130-pound weight class With the exception of the championship match.; wh~re he recorded ~

dominating S..O decision over Milford's Chris Newberry.

I just get focused mentally, and go out there and do what I have to do," said Fields. Fields has finished runner-up in the state finals every year since he was a freshman and is ready for the top spot on the platform this season. "I cut weight· right .this year, ate right and conditioned right,"

said Fields. "I try and improve with every practice and with every match." Moeller ended up winning the Coaches' Classic after entering the finals with a comfortable lead and having 10 wrestlers place in the top six.

HIS GOAL: 'MAKING STATE'

P_hotos by Michael E. Keating/The Enquirer

Senklr Dustin Carter takes a long drink after his workout Thursday at Hillsboro High. Carter, 32-1 this year, will begin his quest for a state wrestling championship in the 103-pound division this evening.

Wrestler has lost just 1 match this year in pursuit of a dream By John Erardi jerardi@enquirer.com

oday, Dustin Carter opens his pursuit of "making state," as he wrestles in the sectional tournament at Chillicothe. His favorite thing about that? His entire Hillsboro High School team will be wrestling, too. He's the team captain, just one of the guys. Carter and seniors Oney Snyder and Greg Rhoads ride herd on the team. The three are very close.

T Carte1r, the team captain, Âˇworks out Thursday. He lost his limbs when he was 5 because of a blood infection.

Next year, they'll each be wrestling in college. 'That's pretty amazing in itselfthree wrestlers from HillSboro going on to wrestle at the next level," says Carter - the most amazing story of them all. Carter sees himself as just another senior wrestler with a dream. But he's different He doesn't have arms or legs. They had to be amputated when he was 5 years old to save him from a rare blood infection. See CARTER, Page .A13

Carter:

'Making state' his dream From Page A! The Enquirer/Michael E. Keating

Carter is already the talk of the state. Many people want to see him make it to Columbus. ''Every eye in the gyi:n watches his matches, no matter who they're there to see," Hillsboro High School principal Rick Earley says. Carter doesn't concentrate on what's been taken away, but rather on what he has developed strength, agility and perseverance. He is 32-1 this season and ranked No. 9 in Ohio in the 103-pound weight class (Division IO. The only wrestler to beat Carter· this year is Nick Brascetta, a freshman ranked No.4 in the state from Graham High (St. Paris, 30 miles northeast of Dayton). Graham is the No. 1 team in the country, according to most rating services. Here is what Brian Brakeman, author of 'The Brakeman Reports," the bible for high school wrestling in Ohio, says about Carter and Brascetta: "Brascetta dominates the Goshen District with one exception- the incredibie Carter (who) went into overtime with Brascetta. ... Carter is difficult to wrestle -very strong, with good movement and some unorthodox techniques. The crowd is always on his side. So am I." Four wrestlers in each weight class will advance this weekend to the district tournament in Goshen. Carter is one of the favorites to advance. After district is state. "Making state would be a dream-come-true for me," Carter says. "Oney and Greg are used to going to state. I'm not." Snyder, ranked No. 5 in the state at 215 in Division II, has made it to state twice. He is Ivy League-bound in the fall- Cornell

University. P.hoads, No. 7 in the state at 171, has been to state three times. He hasn't yet chosen which college to attend, Carter says. Carter will attend the College of Mount St. Joseph, if he can come up with the money. Earley says that in his 25 years at the school, he has never known three senior teammates to go on to wrestle in college. 'The speaker at our National Junior Honor Society told our students, 'Where you are is the center of the universe- but from here, you can go anywhere you want,'" Early recalls. 'These three young men are good examples of that." The center of Carter's universe is Hillsboro, 50 miles east of Cincinnati on U.S. 50 in Highland County. "From the day I started wrestling, I loved it," he says. ''It's the greatest thing in the world. Honestly, though? I never thought I'd go this far. I never thought I'd get 30 wins. I never thought I'd lose only one match. I just kept working at it, though. That part suits me." Before the blood disease, he was a terrific swimmer, a fast runner· and good hitter in baseball He was also strong-willed, darn near defiant - attributes that father, Russ, says his son has put to good use. Dustin has life in a headlock. Says a persopal trainer from Cincinnati who has taken Carter under his wing: "I tell people, 'Dustin trains like he's going to live forever, and lives like he's go-

ing to die tomorrow.' " Carter has been an inspiration to the entire student body at Hillsboro High. "But he's also a typical (teenager) in that I've had to have him in here (the principal's office) for some frank discussions," Earley says. ''He's always been honest with me, always been accountable. You can be having a bad day, but that ends when you see Dustin. He always has a smile on his face." · Carter credits his trainer, Scott Goodpaster, for much of his improvement on the mat. "He's made me stronger, taught me how to use my hips, improved my balance," Carter says. "We go out to eat together. We talk on the phone a couple of nights a week. Before, I was stubborn in practice. I kept doing the same things over and over, kept getting beat on the same move. Now I think my way through it. Some of that's maturity. I've matured a lot in the last year." In March, Goodpaster offered his services free of charge to Carter. Goodpaster had seen Carter wrestle at a tournament at Oak Hills. "I train a lot of wrestlers~ it's my niche, you could say," Goodpaster, a former wrestler at Deer Park, says. ''I felt I could help Dustin with his dream of making it to state. Most of what I've helped him with is core strength and balance. "But he's the one who's supplied all the perseverance. He's the reason he's going to make it state.

Dustin Carter and Hillsboro High School wrestling teanunates Oney Snyder and Greg Rhoads leave this morning for the state wrestling tournament in Columbus. They will check into a hotel, and then go over to the Schottenstein Center for weigh-in. Carter said he wrestles Andrew Bertub!n (3?-9) of Carter Cambndge m one of the opening matches of the Division II portion of the state tournament at 4:20 p.m. today. If Carter wins today'(; match, he won't wrestle again until Friday morning, he said. Carter is a 103-pounder. His buddies Snyder and Rhoads are 215 and 171, respectively, and are veterans of "going to state." They have been sharing their thoughts with fellow senior Carter. "Oney and Greg have told me that going through the tunnel up there (at the Schottenstein Center) is overwhelming," Carter said. 'They said it's 3mazing. , 'The .tunnel's dark, and you •come out the other end (mto the 'arena) and there are all those seats, all those people. You feel small. Ifs .scary." Carter, whose stoty has cap.tured national interest, has stubs for limbs since having surgeries at .5 years old to save him from a rare blood infection. .

"As long as they (Carter and Brascetta) keep winning, they won't meet until the finals," said Russ Carter, Dustin's dad. "I feel ' like Dusty's got a good draw, but everybody up there at state's going to be tough- we know that" Russ said his son also has been ialking a lot about the following wrestlers in the H)-man field: Johnni Di,Julius, 4~, of Walsh Jesuit in Cuyahoga Falls; Ty Mitch, 35-5, of Aurora; and Cody McGee, 34-5, of Minerva. '1 haven't been sleeping too well," Carter said earlier this Week '1 had the same problem before districts (which he wrestled in for the first time this year). But that was because I was nervous. This is because I'm excited." Carter, 18, already has fulfilled his dream of making state, but now that he's in, he said his dream is to place. The top eight finishers place, he said. Although a monumental task and life-changing experience awaits him in Columbus, his stoty would be elevated to national 1V network-worthy if he were to make it to the finals. He is ranked ninth in the state at 103 in Division II. Carter has evety right to be about ready to jump out of his skin, said wrestling referee Paul Branco, ofWest Chester, who twice has officiated in the state tournament, most recently two years ago. In the early rounds of the state tournament at Schottenstein Center, Branco said, the enonnity of the scene is in the 10 mats on the floor and the continuous wrestling, all by precision clockwork. · ''By the time they get to the finals, evety seat is full - 20,000 strong - with three elevated. inats on the floor for each division, I, II , and III, wrestling side by side," Branco said.

Carter, finds fan base at Shriners Hospital cared for him after surgeries By Shannon Russell srussell@enquirer.com

No matter how Dustin Carter fares at the state wrestling tournament, he'll always have a cheering section at the Shriners Hospital for Children.· Many staffers at the Cincinnati location have known the Hillsboro resident since he was 5. That year, surgeons amputated his limbs to save him from a rare blood infection. The hospital, which specializes in skin treatnient, cared for Carter following the amputations. · "When he first came here, he was a very angry little boy," said Lori Anderson,, his teacher at the time. ''I think he turned that anger into determination." · Anderson is a 15-year Shriners employee who now supervises its school program. She hasn't been in touch with Carter for several years. but, like other employees, has watched from afar as his wrestling career has taken off; The hospital collects newspaper clippings dOcumenting the IS-yearold's successes. "We're all rooting for him. Ifs the buzz about the hospital," Anderson said. Louise Hoelker is another Carter fan. She directs volunteers and public relations at the hospital and has been a staff member for 20 years. She couldn't put a number on how many Shriners;l'IY2r~ers are watching out for Carte11,.but added that there are many long-term employees who remember him. Carter's story isn't one you forget,'Hoelker said. "When he 'came and he was sick and needed· those amputations, it was felt throughout the hospital. Everyone felt for him and his family," Hoelker said. Hoelker is organizing a patient reunion to celebrate the hospital's 40th anniversary. She e-mailed Carter to see if he'll participate in the festivities. She hasn't heard back from him but said, laughing, ifs understandable. He's beeri a little busy. · Carter entered the state tournament with a 3g:2 record, including a 4-1 mark at the district tournament at · Goshen. He won his first state match 2-1 in double overtime Thursday and 'wrestles again today. · Neither Hoelker nor Anderson has been surprised by Carter's athletic·achievements.

To win its dual meet against Elder on ;Thursday, Moeller, the top.ranked team in the Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, need· ec\.to earn points in either the 215pollnd class or the heavyweight di~ vision. So Crusaders coach Jeff Gaier employed some strategy. Gaier let Ross Quehl - a state qualifier at 215 pounds last season -wrestle at heavyweight. By doing so, Quehl would avoid · the Panthers' star 215-pounder, Orlan· do 'Scales, who placed third in the state last season. · The coach's move paid off. With Quehl's 1M victory and pins in two of the meet's final four matches, the Crusaders defended their No.1 status and outlasted second-ranked Elder 34-24. "Our heavyweight is not at full strength right now," Gaier said: "We felt our best opportunity ... was to bump Quehl up to heavyweight. It worked out and we got the win." Scales, who entered the mat area ·with' a disappointed facial expression when he realized he wasn't wrestling Quehl, says he wanted his· "true" opponent and GCL rival to take the mat. "(Quehl) was a state qualifier and I placed at state," Scales said. "!·needed Quehl tonight. I wanted to see where I am at right now." Scales is still in the upper echelon of heavyweights. He was dominant is his match, recording a pin in 45 seconds. The junior improved his career record to 46-8 and is 7-0 on the season. The Panthers' other pin was re-

Elder's Tom Pretty, who finished third a state at 130 pounds last season, and Tim Pope (140) also won matches. · Elder (6-1) won the first three matches before Moeller's (W) Eric Gobin - another state qualliier from .last season - won a 7-3 decision· over Tony Pope at 152 pounds. The Panthers led '21-15 with six matches to go. : Moeller went on to win five straight matches, including two pins. Cohen Hilton recorded a pin in 4:30 at the 171-pound class, and Jake Corrill tallied a third pin fur the Crusaders in 1:07 at 103 pounds. . . Adam Wallender improved his

personal record to 3-2 this season · and is 75-38 for his career after he pinnedJoeRinckin4:35in the119pound class. Wallender was leading 8-0 when he earned the fall. "I figured I ~ould just wear him down,". Wallender said. "I wasn't counting 100 percent on a pin, but luckily for me and my team I got one." Elder coach Dick McCoy wasn't fazed by his teani coming so close but failing to upend the Crusaders.

To say Lakota West senior Ryan Fields wrestles with intensity is an understatement. Fields, headed to UNC Greensboro next year, finished first Saturday at the Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Classic, but it wasn't enough for his team to break into the top three, as the Firebirds firushed fourth. Fields won all of his matches by pin in the 130-pound weight class with the exception of the championship match! where he recorded a

dominating 5-0 decision over Milford's Chris Newberry. Fields has finished either first or second in the Coaches' 路 Classic since he was a freshman but was eager to win after losing a close overtime match in last year's finals. , 'There's no pressure. I just get focused mentally, and go out there and do what I have to do," said Fields. . Fields has finished ruimer-up in the state finals every year since he was a freshman and is ready for the top spot on the platform this season. "I cut weight right this' yeai, ate right and conditioned right,"

Out-of-state competition toughens up Moeller By Mike Dyer mdyer@enquirer.com

WresUing notebook

Moeller coach Jeff Gaier relishes the opportunity for his Crusaders team to face some of the state's strongest competition this weekend in Wadsworth. Gaier said Moeller continues to improve steadily after winning the 28-team event at the Zac Jarzynka Tournament in Oviedo, F1a, and the Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Classic. According to Gaier, the F1orida meet featured three state-champion and three state-runner-up squads. Locally, Âˇ the Crusaders are ranked No.1 in the Enquirer Divi-

sion I area coaches' poll. Moeller senior Ross Quehl (215) and sophomore Jake Corrill (103) were the two individual champs in F1orida. Corrill, who was a state qualifier last season, is 15-3 with nine pins this season. Quehl, a state qualifier last season, is 14-3 with five pi.ils. Gaier said Quehl is closing in on 100 career Victories. Senior Eric Gobin, who has committed to wrestle at the United States Military Prep School at West Point, is 14-5 with eight pins.

Gobin, who has 121 wins, needs just 11 to tie the school career record. Gaier said having his team wrestle outside the area during the holiday break helped sharpen the Crusaders' focus. "You don't see the same guys (from area opposing teams)," Gaier said. "You have a chance to get better and not worry about who you are wrestling. There were a lot of matches and all quality competition." Moeller and Elder will be the area Division I representatives in the State Dual Meet starting at noon

Sunday. "I think it will be a good duals (tournament)," Gaier said. ''We always want a shot at (Lakewood) St. Ed's; it will give us a gauge of where we are statewide." PANilfERS ON PROWL: Elder, ranked No.2 in the Enquirer poll, finished sixth of 44 teams in the Brecksville Holiday Tournament. It was the highest finish for Elder at the tournament, according to Panthers coach Dick McCoy. ''It was even tougher than ever before," McCoy said. Senior Tommy Pretty (125), who had 18 seeded wrestlers in his weight class, pinned his way

Pretty, Scales in finals By John Erardi jerardi@enquirer.com

.Elder is 3rd, Moeller 8th, Mason lOth in standings I

COLUMBUS - Elder was holding third place in Division I Friday night at the state wrestling tournament here at the Schottenstein Center, .with Tommy Pretty (125 pounds) and Orlando Scales (215) winning their semifinal matches and headed for to day's finals before a full house. Nobody was going to catch Lakewood St. Edward, which had a commanding first-place lead. Moeller was in eighth place and Mason lOth. The Elder wrestlers were among those doing the dazzling. · Scales got a big roar from the crowd when he pinned Tyler Rasho ofUniontown Lake at 1:19 of the first period. Pretty put more moves on Andrew Dinda of Garfield Heights than a gymnast on a ·pommel horse in a 15-4 decision. "I got kind of nervous when

(Rasho) threw me to my back," Scales said. "So I just. reversed him. I was stronger than the kid. I lost my grip, thafs all. ''We were in a scoring position, and soon as he dropped to his knees. I just tumbled over the top of him and stuck him like that." That's a slick way of weighing in somebody - especially when you're 215 pounds and your name isScales. He was reallytippin"em. Scales, a junior · from Westwood, is a lineman for the Panthers football team but figures he'll be a wrestler in college. He's quick and he's strong, and Rasho.didn'tknowwhatto do with him. It was obvious from the start that Scales had too much talent, as soon as he got that reverse. The

crowd sensed it, too. Scales finished third at state last year. Runner-up won't cut it for this junior, not considering whom he's facing. ' · Tonight for the state championship, it's Scales vs. Adam Cogar of Barberton, who decisioned Matt Cook of Reynoldsburg 8-3. · ."(Cogar) beat me last year in the semis," Scales said. "(Saturday) is the real deal. All I know• about Cogar is he's tough. Short, stocky, tough. I've gotto be smarter.... Tommy and I got third last year, so we're looking to change that." Pretty goes against Shawn Fayette of Miamisburg; who decisioned Anthony Salupo of St. Edward 2-1. Scales said he loves the entire

atmosphere of being at state. He particularly likes "the tunnel" leading out to the floor, the precision and organized way the tournament is run, and the people in general. Nobody slips by security here, but even they are friendly when they ask you to get off the floor when all you've got is a red printmedia badge and what you really need is the yellow of a photographer. Not a problem. After the match, The Enquirer caught up with Scales in the stands, where he was sitting watching the action with his father, also Orlando. While Scales stripped off his purple top, a family friend showed a couple of moves to use tonight in the finals. "Every time I come here I do good," Scales said. "I'd love to wrestle here (at Ohio State). I've talked to the heavyweight now who goes here. They're interested in me."

Strategy weighs heavily in Moeller's wrestling victory By Todd Bonds / A.jt ~~ '7 Enquirer contributor

To win its dual meet against Elder on Thursday, Moeller, the top-ranked team in the Enquirer . Division I area coaches' poll, needed to earn points in either the 215pound class or the heavyweight division. So Crusaders coach Jeff Gaier employed some strategy. Gaier let Ross Quehl - a state . qualifier at 215 pounds last season -wrestle at heavyweight. By doing so, Quehl would avoid the Panthers' star 215-pounder, Orlando Scales, who placed third in the state last season . . The coach's move paid off. With Quehl's 10-4 victory and Tony Tribble for The Enquirer pins in two of the meet's final four matches, the Crusaders defended Moeller's Eric Gobin (front) defeated Elder's Tony Pope 7-3 in a 152their No.1 status and outlasted pound match Thursday.
