SCHEFFEL WINS NATIONAL TITLE


From the front page of the Republican:

Three members of the state champion Southern High School wrestling team competed in the National High School Coaches Association Junior National Championships at Virginia Beach, Va., this past weekend, and one of those Rams, Jakob “Bubba” Scheffel, returned home with the national title in the 160-pound division. He is pictured above right with teammate Lex Ozias, who finished third in the 140-pound division. Both are juniors at Southern, and both are current Maryland state champions.

Bubba cruised through his bracket of 48 of the nation’s top 160-pounders, pinning four opponents and recording a 12-1 major decision over the fifth one. Ozias won four straight matches, was edged by a single point in his fifth match, and won his sixth to take third place among 57 wrestlers in his bracket. Bubba’s brother, senior George “Brutus” Scheffel, finished the senior division tournament with five wins and two narrow defeats. His division included nearly 80 wrestlers, and he was one of four 4-time state champions in the 145-pound bracket. Northern High School’s Adam Moranduzzo also competed in the senior tourney and won two of three matches in the 152-pound division.

Colin Lynch is headed to the USA Snowboarding National Championships

Colin Lynch, a freshman honors student at Southern High School, is headed to the USA Snowboarding National Championships at Copper Mountain, Colo., April 1-10. With nearly 2,000 competitors, the championship is the largest snowboarding and freeskiing competition in the world. Every U.S. Olympic Team athlete got a start in the United States Snowboarding Association (USASA).

Lynch is currently ranked fourth overall in the nation in his age group (the largest age group in the competition). Additionally, he is one of only six youths who have qualified for and been invited to compete in all five disciplines: giant slalom, slalom, boardercross, slopestyle, and halfpipe. To qualify, Lynch competed in 20 events during the regular season in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. This is his third appearance at the national competition, but the first time he has been invited to compete in all five events.

Lynch is a member of the Deep Creek Winter Sports Team and competes in the Appalachian region of USASA. He is sponsored locally by High Mountain Sports. His national sponsors are Nitro Snowboards and Bern Helmets. At Southern, Lynch is also a member of the boys’ soccer team and the boys’ track team.
