Elder Wrestling 2024-2025

Coach McCoy said:
Panther VOR, I believe you are correct and the Irish player mentioned was Joe Montana I believe. Not sure if you get extra credit for guessing that players name or not?

Side note o Joe Gramke, only wrestled 2 years in high school and was a state placer his senior year. Pretty impressive.

Even if Gramke wrestled in grade school and then took his freshman and sophomore years off before resuming wrestling, for him to place as a senior isn't just pretty impressive, it's pretty darn impressive. If the first time he ever stepped foot on a wrestling mat was the fall of his junior year, for him to place as a senior is simply amazing.

The varsity, jvA, and jvB rosters have been posted. Here are the Panthers who are listed on a roster and were in the varsity lineup at least once last year: Carson Adkins, Brandon Black, Colin Broxterman, Ben Demoss, Ben Florian, Konner Lambers, Tyler Lorenzen, Jake Mentz, Zach Ridner, Joey Thamann, and Carson Williams.
At the Elder Duals (a mere 15 days away, by the way) we’ll see who claims a starting spot (for that day, at least) and who makes his varsity debut.

Rosters look divided by class. I honestly don't think they change it online, even after wrestle offs. Broxterman is still listed on last years JV after claiming 6th in the state at 106. I think there's five guys showing on the varsity roster from last year that never wrestled a varsity match. I think the Varsity roster is going to look pretty interesting.

I figured the QB was Montana but I am stumped by who the Houston RB was. I know I’ll kick myself when I hear the name. Gramke was very smart too, which probably helped get him to ND in addition to his football skills.

I was wondering, has there ever been another Elder wrestler who went on to play football at ND? Certainly none that I can think of that would have played with Joe Montana.

Not to start a football debate on the wrestling board but… I still think that 1977 football team his senior year was the best I ever saw at Elder, including the back to back teams. I’ve always heard the ‘72 team was the best but I didn’t have the pleasure of seeing that team.

Right about the 38:40 second mark

Mystery solved! Thanks, typeman.
The next season as a senior Joe went 21-7 and was GCL champ at 137. Sadly, Joe passed away in January of 2013; he was only 61. His time on the mats must have stayed with him: the last sentence of his Radel Funeral and Cremation Service obituary (Joe went to St. Dominic) reads, "If so desired memorials may be made to Elder High School Wrestling Program, 3900 Vincent Street, 45205."

Joe's son Joe Jr also wrestled for me back in the mid to late 90's. They both were/are very good men. Thanks Typeman for solving that for us.
 
The Panther grapplers will open their season this Saturday as they host the 19th annual Elder Duals. Beavercreek, Colerain, Marion C. Moore (Louisville, KY), Sycamore, and West Clermont will provide the opposition.
I know people are busy on the weekends, but if your schedule permits you should consider going and watching the grapplers, if only for a few of the duals. The Elder Duals are the best deal of the entire season. For one low, low price (maybe $8, surely $10 max) you get to see not one, not two, not three, not four, but five, count ‘em five, dual matches. That’s a mere $1.60 to $2.00 a match, you can’t beat that with a stick. Plus, once you stake out a spot in the stands, you don’t have to move the entire day because the Panthers will wrestle all of their matches on the same mat. How’s that for convenience? And I’m sure they will have programs and an announcer, which is nice and isn’t always true at other dual meets.
Beavercreek is led by two-time state qualifier junior Jeremy Sibrel. In addition, the Beavers return ’24 district qualifier junior Austin Kawanishi. Last season Elijah Papalios, then a junior, finished second at the Centerville sectional but for whatever reason did not wrestle at Kettering; look for him to be in their lineup.
Colerain is led by ’24 state placer junior Demarco Kates (seventh at 106). The Cards’ other two state placers, senior Kyser Kostoff (sixth at 165) and sophomore Tyton Kostoff (seventh at 120), now reside in North Carolina. The Cards also return senior Jordan Jackson (2x district qualifier) and sophomore Bryson Wurzelbacher (district qualifier).
Moore is led by their four returning ’24 state qualifiers. They are seniors Xavier Gonzalez (eighth at 138), Brody McKune, and Collin Williams; and freshman Santiago Gonzalez.
Sycamore, having lost 2x state qualifier Adam Gelman and 4x state qualifier and 2x state champ Eugene Harney to graduation, is led by their two returning ’24 district qualifiers, seniors Jacob Baron and Fintan Courtney.
West Clermont did not have a state qualifier last year, but the Wolves return ’24 district qualifiers junior Nate Wallace and sophomores Cooper Renner and Kellen Renner.
The action starts at 9:30 a.m. Be there. I will. Aloha.

Great writeup and great information. I did not know the Kostoffs moved to North Carolina. That is a blow to Colerain but also the local wrestling community. They are a great family.

Thank you for all of that info! Definitely helps having an idea of "who's who" at the first dual of the year. It looks like Borofan is pretty fond of the Beavercreek kids too. In addition to Sibrel, he has Papalios 8th @ 165. Should be a good matchup @ 190 as well. Borofan has their Senior (Wazgar) ranked top 10- just a few spots above Carson Williams.

That's great! I wonder which former grappler will be behind a mike doing color commentary . . . .
Slight correction to my post number 38, varsity action tomorrow starts at 10:00 and not 9:30.
Last year sophomore Joey Carter wrestled 11 varsity matches and according to last year’s three wrestling rosters was the only Carter in the program. This past football season junior Joey Carter played for Coach Ramsey, I’m guessing he is the same person. This year’s varsity wrestling roster lists a junior by the name of John Carter but no Joey Carter while last year’s jv football roster also listed a John Carter but no Joey Carter. I will attempt to find out tomorrow whether Joey Carter and John Carter are one and the same or two different persons; I suspect the former is the case.

Yes. Same kid.
 
When I’m wrong, I’m wrong, and I will be the first to admit it. Adult admission today isn’t $10 or even $8, it is a paltry $7! You can’t even buy a sack of sliders for that anymore.
You still have plenty of time to come down and watch some duals.

I have turned on the ENN coverage and have it going. I was hoping someone could explain the dual meet to me. Pantherontheporch has been given great updates. But when you have so many teams, does that mean only Elder is wrestling the other teams, or say will Sycmore wrestle Beavercreek too?

Frosh Curry defeating Demarco Kates is a very significant win. A state qualifier last year, Kates won 37 matches at 106 and is currently ranked #10 at 113 in D1 by Boro. Both Curry and Black have had great starts to their seasons. Congratulations 👏
