Tapped Out: Morgan McIntosh's future looks bright.

Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004 — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 19:46:00 +0000

Year No. 6 of my journey to Bakersfield is done. Each year, I have had at least one county champion. This year it was Morgan McIntosh (171)

Morgan McIntosh, who was also selected as Champion of Champions, finished the season 42-0. He might be on the verge of history. Brian Moreno (Foothill) is the only county wrestler to win three state titles.

Bruce Terry (1978-79), Howard Lawson (1980-81), Todd Tomazic (1986-87), Mike Phillips (1987-88), Heath Sims (1988-89), Zach Cooper (1989-90), Tony Okada (1990-91), Josh Holiday (1994-95), Ed Mosley (1994-95), Joe Calavitta (1996-97), Ty Wilcox (1996-97), Michael Simpson (1999-2000), Joe Williams (2002-03) are the only county wrestlers to win two state titles.

I think McIntosh will be able to at least join that group and who knows, maybe Moreno will have some company.

"A lot of the coaches have told me that he is by far the best wrestler in the state of California," Calvary Chapel coach Arsen Aleksanyan said. "I don't think he worries about records, rankings or pressure. He doesn't buy into the pressure."

And as for the future:

"I think there's a lot he can do," Aleksanyan said.

Aleksanyan then ran through a list of possible achievements and the first: Three-time state champion.

Tapped Out: Mitch Newcomer rallies for a third place finish

Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004 — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 06:22:55 +0000

Laguna Hills' Mitch Newcomer didn't make the finals at 135 pounds, but maybe more impressively was the way he handled his defeat to Poway's Conrad Snell.

After losing to Snell in the semifinals, 9-6, Newcomer, went about his business to finish third and he did, finishing the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Shervin Iraniha.

"That showed a lot of heart on his part," Jarmie said of Newcomer. "It would have been easy to be disappointed and give it up, but he didn't do that."

Newcomer, who entered the tournament ranked second in the state, defeated Nathan Zarate of Selma, 14-3 before topping Iraniha.

Newcomer started the season at 140s, but made the drop to 135s. He made the transition seamlessly as he won Five Counties, Pacific Coast League, CIF and Masters championships.

"He ended up third here, so he lost once here and once earlier," Jarmie said. "I think he's 60-2 ....that's amazing. He had a pretty stellar year and a pretty stellar career."

Tapped Out: Wall-to-wall Calvary Chapel coverage

Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004 — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 19:40:40 +0000

That's because Tank Knowles (215) is on the mat in front of me for a consolation match and Morgan McIntosh (171) is on the mat to my left in a championship semifinal. Busy moment for the coaching staff, lets see which coach goes where ...

Josh Holiday stayed with McIntosh and Aleksanyan and Hartman stayed with Knowles.

Knowles faced Brian Schoene of Bakersfield. Schoene defeated Knowles at Five Counties. I think the was 2-1 or 1-0. I just remember the Schoene kid stalling all day, but he didn't get warned or penalized.

No need for warnings this time. Knowles won 5-0.

Arsen (w/o coffee) has gone over to join Holiday and as soon as he did, McIntosh capped the match, 22-7. He will face Jordan Williams in the finals.

McIntosh is the lone county finalist. All I need is one.
