Mauriello is cited Continued from Page 5C the South Jersey Invitational. District 30, Region 8 and state titles. A flawless competitor, Dykeman was at his best with a methodical 2-0 win over returning state champion Gib- more with a bright future. Unable to crack Paulsboro's powerful lineup a year ago, the 135-pounder had an excellent year, losing a two-point decision to Haddonfield's Tony Egan during the season and an 11-7 decision to Phillipsburg senior John Rutledge in the state quarterfinals. Gentile won the Edgewood Christmas, District 29 and Region 8 championships and was victorious in his Group 1 championship match against Glassboro.

The son of 1957 state champion Tony (Jap) Gentile, young Tony had 10 pins, six majors and five superiors on the way to a 26-2 season. A product of the community's midget wrestling program, Gentile was perhaps the most methodical young wrestler in South Jersey this year mixing persistent moves with an uncanny aggressiveness that, like Taylor, also makes him destined to return to te state championships again. Pantisano scored a 2:15 fall in the state consolation. Winner of the South Jersey Invitational and district titles, Pantisano had 13 pins in his 25-4 season and finished with a 36-15 career record. "Pantisano learned from his mistakes and rarely made the same one twice," said Ross.

"One thing he had on the mat was intensity he refused to let up." DAVE STANTON is the lone junior on the team. The Haddonfield heavyweight just missed making the state finals this year, losing a 6-5 match in the semifinals to Joe Hayes of Trenton. But Stanton capped a 27-1-0 season by winning the bronze medal. Stanton had 15 pins during a season that saw him win the Lenape Christmas, District 28 and Region 7 championships Not considered huge by last year's Standards in the heavyweight division, Stanton used methodical moves to dominate the opposition. His effort this year boosted his two-season varsity total to 47-5-0.

"Dave was a wrestler who took control on the mat," said Coach Joe Foulk. "In his regional final, he went against an unbeaten wrestler (Joe Ellis of Toms River North) and completely dominated him. His persistence was his strong suit." DOUG TAYLOR was one of two sophomores to make the team. The powerful Millville 101-pounder carried a perfect record into the state semifinals before losing to eventual state champion John Barna of Phil-lipsburg. The Edgewood Christmas, District 32 and Region 8 champion solidified his spot on the first team by gaining his second win in a week over Overbrook's Errol Hines in the state consolation match.

Taylor had nine pins, five superiors and seven majors in a 27-1 season that lifted his two-year career mark to 44-8-1. Taylor, whose father was a state runnerup and a one-time National Collegiate Athletic Association runnerup for Oklahoma State, is a product of the midget wrestling program in Millville who is destined to make a return tjrip to the state championships. TONY GENTILE is also a sopho TenBrook could be described as consistent he had seven pins and superiors and six major and regular decisions while winning District 32, Region 8 and state honors. Ten-Brook, who is leaning toward Buck-nell, finished his career with a 73-18-1 record. "Jim was a mentally-tough wrestler who had all the tools to accomplish what he set but to do," said Coach Dave Neder.

"He was pretty sharp all season. He had an excel- lent attitide that made him enjoyable to work with. There are wrestlers you can look back on and describe as hard workers but I just don't think there were any I've ever been associated with that had the mixture of dedication and hard work that Jim showed." BILL IIINMAN can be described, quite frankly, as one of the all-time, hard-luck wrestlers in South Jersey history. A year ago, a takedown came a split-second too late and prevented Hinman from beating Clarence Richardson of St. Benedict's in regulation in the state 170-pound finals.

Handicapped by a cut over his right eye that later required stitches, Hinman lost by a point in overtime. Nothing seemed to stand in Hin-man's way this season. But, with a 1-: 0 lead and 32 seconds gone in the second period against unbeaten Chris Musmanno of Belleville in the 170-pound finals last Saturday, Hinman was called for an illegal slam and, when Musmanno could not continue, Hinman was disqualified again placing second. tireless worker, Hinman was also very aggressive gaining 15 falls and seven superiors in a 30-1 season. Champion of the Edgewood Tournament, District 29, Region 8 and Group 1, the senior standout finished with a 98-9-2 record to place third on the all-time win list in South Jersey.

JOHN BROWNING suffered the frustration of Hinman earlier in the state finals. The Cherry Hill West senior, third in the- state a year ago, literally had the 115-pound state championship locked up with a 6-1 lead over Madison Central sophomore Kevin Jacoutot heading into the final period. But Jacoutot rallied, getting a two-point near-fall with two seconds remaining to win the state title, 7-6. Browning was not a flashy wrestler, gaining an All-Star team high 10 majors and 12 regular decisions in a 30-1 season. He won the South Jersey Invitational, District 27 and Region 7 championships before his fateful finish in the state tournament.

"John couldn't have had any wdrse luck in the last few seconds of that state final," said Coach Frank McA-leer, "but it doesn't take away from what he has done for our program the last three years. There are few who have ever worked as hard as John did." Browning finished with a 71-14-0 career record. By RICK VENTURA Of the Courier-Post The selection of a "Coach of the Year" is no easy task in any sport in any season. The exceptional accomplishments turned in by many wrestling coaches made this season's choice a particularly difficult one. Millville's Dave Neder recorded the school's first unbeaten record, captured the South Jersey South championship and produced a state champion in Jim TenBrook.

Lenape's Sam Evangelista had a super year, producing a serious threat to Pemberton's supremacy in the Please see MAURIELLO. Page 7C RICH MEEIIL was also one of the most consistent wrestlers in South Jersey, gaining five pins and superi- ors and seven major and regular decisions. He defended championships in the South Jersey Invitational and District 30, but lost his bid for a second-straight Region 8 title when Mitcho escaped in the final second of their bout. Meehl posted a 71-9-0 career mark at Highland as a three-year starter, with his finalloss coming in the quarterfinals of the state tour-, nament. "Rich never backed away from hard work," said Coach Ross.

"He was as consistent a competitor as any I've ever coached. He wasn't a flashy wrestler, but one who knew the basics of the sport and worked very hard to perfect them." FRANK MITCHO earned the right to share the 148-pound spot with Meehl by battling the Highland standout on two occasions. Meehl won the dual meet, 7-5, but Mitcho won the regional final, 3-2. A regular season loss to West Deptford's Chris Holdstein was the only other blemish fin Mitcho's record until the quarterfinal round of the state tournament. Mitcho won four major titles in his first year of scholastic wrestling.

The senior standout won the Glass-boro Christmas Tournament and Group 1, District 29 and Region 8 titles before his season ended in the state tournament. Mitcho had seven pins, five superiors and five majors in his 26-3-0 season. "I could say Mitcho's season was a big surprise, but after the first couple weeks I knew he was going to be a tough competitor," said Glassboro Coach Albert Sye. "We had a good nucleus and Mitcho was defini- telyoneof the reasons why we had a successful season."

"Bill is as tireless a worker as I've ever coached," said Highland Coach Ralph Ross.

"His life revolves around the sport. It's not uncommon to see him run longer and work harder than anyone else. He's dedi- cated to the sport." ORLANDO CACERES can only be described as a coach's dream. Not only did Caceres win back-to- back titles to cap a career that ended with 60 consecutive wins, but became the second wrestler in Pern- berton history (joining current Lehigh All-American and former All-South Jersey performer Darryl Burley)and the fifth from South Jer- sey to receive the Outstanding Wrestler Award in the state tourna ment.

"I would compare him with Burley at this stage in his career. In fact, I think he 1 has even more quickness than Bur-; ley.

He's simply an outstanding competitor." VINNY LEVIN became the first state champion for Coach Gene Bar- ber and Absegami. He was as basic a I wrestler as you could find, getting the lead and then working con stantly to protect it. For his size, the 108-pounder was as aggressive as I any wrestler on the team count-I ing 17 falls among his 33 wins this year. Levin also won every champion-" ship he was involved in, including the South Jersey Invitational, Group 3, District 32, Region 8 and state titles. The school's second All-South Jersey performer.

Levin finished with an 92-10-4 career record to place fifth on the all-time win list. "To say he was methodical would te accurate, saia tsarDer. ne oniy gave up iu points an year, ne simply a dedicated worker who wants to excel. He's willing to sacrifice to become the best." Levin is leaning toward West Chester State next year. JIM TenBROOK gave everyone, including himself, a scare by rallying in the final seconds of overtime to decision Chad Watkins of Ocean Township, 6-3, in the preliminary round of the state tournament.

Ten-Brook also had a slim win in the next round before gaining the confidence to win the 141-pound state title.

Now Selling Directly to the Public PAUL MAURIELLO wrestling Coach-ot-the-Year NICK BURZICHELLI has had his share of honors the last three seasons with Paulsboro.

The senior 129-pounder won the Edgewood Christmas, Group 1 and District 29 championships to carry an unbeaten record into the Region 8 tournament. Burzichelli twice faced the challenge of meeting Glassboro Brian Yates, a bronze medalist in the state tournament two years ago. Twice Burzichelli prevailed. His initial loss came in the Region 8 finals when Pennsville's Jim Ecret continued to play "giant killer" by deci-sioning Burzichelli, 6-2, in the finals. But Burzichelli, who had 10 falls and seven superiors on the way to a 27-2-1 season (79-9-1 career), rebounded by winning three of four matches in the state tournament to gain his third-place medal "Many times it takes a lot of personal sacrifice to become a champion," said Paulsboro Coach Bob Fredrick.

"Nick has paid the price to be called a champion. His mental attitude was an inspiration to everyone on the team." SCOTT PANTISANO made remarkable progress, according to Coach Ross, for a two-year wrestler. The Highland senior also made the most of rematches in his final sea-' son. He lost to Eastern's Ralph Sadler in a dual meet, but came back to decision him in the District 30 final. Paiitisano, who lost to eventual state champion Rick Lovato of Middletown South in the state semifinals, then locked up his first-team position in a rematch against Baylor.
