Monroe-Woodbury senior Evan Barczak broke a 1-1 tie on a takedown with 53 seconds left and added three back points to defeat John Jay Cross River’s Connor Melbourne 6-1 in the Eastern States Classic 152-pound semifinals.

Barczak, who earned the 204th win of his career, appeared to have Melbourne pinned as seconds ticked off the clock in the third period. He will meet Plainview Old Bethpage JFK’s Peter Pappas, a two-time state finalist, for the 152-pound championship.

Barczak avenged a loss to Melbourne for fifth place in the state last season.

Wallkill’s Mike Fekishazy advanced to his first Eastern States Classic final in dramatic fashion.

Fekishazy, a senior 182-pounder, scored a takedown with 18 seconds left in the sudden-victory period to earn a 3-1 win over John Jay Cross River’s Evan Frank. He was a split second away from being taken down by Frank. Fekishazy kept his body moving and was able to pull out the victory.

Next up for Fekishazy is Hilton’s Louie Deprez, ranked No. 2 in the country.

Evan Barczak pushed undefeated and top seed Peter Pappas of Plainview Old Bethpage to the limit in their 152-pound Eastern States Classic final.

The match between two of New York’s best went into the sudden-victory period tied at 1-1 before Pappas scored a takedown with 14 seconds left to pull out the win.

Barczak said he will use the setback as motivation to work harder in practice in preparation for the state tournaments and another shot at Pappas.

“You can look at it in one of two ways,” Monroe-Woodbury coach John Gartiser said. “You can look at as, ‘Hey, I need to figure out where I need to get better.’ Usually you learn more from your losses. Or you can be upset about it and put your head down and things can go downhill real quick when you think like that. You just have to have the right mindset and move forward.”

Mike Fekishazy became the fourth Wallkill wrestler to advance to an Eastern States Classic final. The senior did not lock up with nationally-ranked Louie Deprez opting to take a medical forfeit. Fekishazy was noticeably limping when he named was announced with all of the finalists.

Monroe-Woodbury senior 152-pounder Evan Barczak is five wins away from passing Jamie Franco for the all-time school wins records.

Pine Bush coach Steve Distefano said his team didn’t play its best game of the seasson in a 69-62 win over Middletown Wednesday but the Bushmen will certainly take the victory.

Pine Bush became the first team since Kingston on Feb. 12, 2014 to beat Middletown on its home floor and stayed undefeated (12-0).

One Pine Bush fan held up a sign, “Splash Bros” with Brandon Powell’s No. 5 and Bryan Powell’s No. 24. The Powells scored 20 points each. Brandon Powell missed four minutes of the first quarter after receiving a cut on his nose from taking a charge.

“Winning is not easy,” Distefano said. “Winning is tough. You are going to come out with boo-boos like that. He (Brandon Powell) toughed it out tonight, stuck it out and helped up get the win.”

Bryan Powell and Mason Memmelaar punished Middletown on the glass converting second, third and fourth chances.

Pine Bush guard Marquis Johnson can get up. Johnson denied a Middletown fast break with a block and threw down a dunk off a putback in the second quarter.

Pine Bush, the defending OCIAA Division I champion, is now 3-0 in league and host Newburgh Free Academy (8-3, 2-1) Friday.

Pine Bush entered the game averaging 85 points. The Bushmen scored its most narrow win of the season. Pine Bush had defeated both John S. Burke Catholic and Albertus Magnus by 14 points each and blew out everyone else on its schedule.

Both teams struggled from distance, hitting just two 3-pointers each.

Middletown’s starting big men Jayden Nichols (15) and Bright Afful (14) combined for 29 points. Guard Marquis Gill led Middletown with 18 points but the Middies didn’t receive much production from the rest of its perimeter/wing players.

Afful scored eight straight points, including two straight 3-point play, in the fourth quarter to bring Middletown to within 60-54 but he fouled out on the next play with 2:43 left in the game.

Monticello’s Patrick Owens upset returning Section 9 champion Tyler Lynch of Minisink Valley 4-2 in the semifinals and edged Minisink Valley’s Sean Savacool 6-5 to win the 120-pound title to earn most outstanding wrestler honors at the Gene Brigham Invitational at Minisink Valley Middle School Saturday.

Lynch did not wrestle his next match following the semifinals, taking a medical forfeit.

Minisink Valley junior and returning Section 9 champion Connor Greiner captured his first tournament title of the season after making his season debut Wednesday. Greiner, who was injured in the preseason, won all three of his matches by pin.

“I’m feeling really good,” Greiner said. “I’m really excited. I’m glad I’m back wearing a Minisink Valley singlet again.”

Goshen senior 220-pounder Ryan Ellefsen was dominant, pinning all three of his opponent, including an eight-second fall of Garrett Olbrych of East Providence, R.I. in the semifinals.

Minisink Valley’s Joey Yanis pinned Middletown’s Adonis Morano, a 2016 Section 9 finalist, in 4:59 to win the 182-pound final. Morano moved up to 182 to wrestle Yanis.

Eldred senior Noah Curreri said he’s been working on his offense lately and it showed in a 10-4 win over Minisink Valley’s Timmy Ganuncio in the 160-pound final.

“That match right there really improves my confidence,” Curreri said. “That’s the way I’ve been wrestling. When I don’t get my offense going like that, it makes me mad. I know I’m a better wrestler.”

Curreri suffered his first two losses of the season at the Eastern States Classic last weekend.

“It was a bad day, a bad weekend,” Curreri said. “I’m bounced back from it. When I’m on top of the podium at the end of the year, that’s what matters.”

KOHL INVITATIONAL

Monroe-Woodbury sophomore Marco Vespa jumped out to a 10-1 lead on Huntington’s Ryan Mock before pinning him in the first period of the 113-pound final. Vespa was named the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler.

Monroe-Woodbury senior Kendall Elfstrum wrestled in his first tournament of the season and won the 182-pound title. Elfstrum, a two-time Section 9 champion, made his season debut Wednesday in a dual meet against Newburgh Free Academy. An injury had kept Elfstrum out of Monroe-Woodbury’s lineup.

The first Brawl For The Belt certainly lived up to its billing.

Monroe-Woodbury and Minisink Valley’s dual meet went down to final match, which happened to be the most anticipated bout of the night.

The 120-pound clash between Monroe-Woodbury’s Marco Vespa and Minisink Valley’s Tyler Lynch went to the sudden-victory period with Vespa pulling out a 3-1 victory with 25 seconds left.

Here’s an interview with Vespa after the win and some matches videos including Minisink Valley’s Nick Picariello 8-7 win in the ultimate tiebreaker over Nick Scancarello at 99 pounds:

Dior Johnson wanted to play for the Saugerties varsity basketball team as a sixth grader last year.

Johnson was told he would have to wait a year. New York allows seventh graders to compete at the varsity level if they pass a maturity test.

“I was trying,” Johnson said.

The wait is over. Johnson, who turned 13 Saturday, is one of the more electrifying talents in Section 9 basketball this season.

Washingtonville coach Todd Rose confirmed Johnson is “legit” after the seventh-grader dropped 32 points on his team Friday night.

Rose said he designed a defense to contain Johnson but the 5-foot-9 guard’s speed makes him difficult to stop. Johnson scored 15 points in the fourth quarter alone and nearly led Saugerties to a win over Washingtonville, a Class AA team. He notched his third straight 30-point game.

“From here on out, I’m trying to have 30-plus (point) games because I know I can do it now,” Johnson said. “People know I can do it. My teammates trust in me. (Saugerties junior guard) Austin Curlin is a great player and a great friend. He gets me motivated and he tells me what to do on the court and what not to do. He makes sure he gets me open. If we are down, he’ll said, ‘take the ball and do you.’”

Johnson can shoot from anywhere on the court if coach Mike Tiano allowed him. He’s creating his own 3-point line at Saugerties’ gym. Johnson routinely hit 3-pointers behind white line (used for volleyball), which is about four-feet beyond the normal high school arc of 19 feet, nine inches.

Some of Johnson’s moves and shots around the rim are mesmerizing. Where does Johnson’s creativity come from?

“I go to Kingston Boys & Girls Club every day and the Kingston YMCA,” Johnson said. “I play rec basketball. There, we kind of free form. I’m use to that. I’m used to finishing with different kind of styles of layups. I’m used to finishing fancy at the rim. I just trust my shots. It’s all in trust.

“I’m not even thinking about it. Say if I go up on the right and your hand is on the right, I’m going to do a reverse or anything I can do put it up on the left, whatever I need to do to put the ball in the basket.”

Johnson plans to play up on the 15-and-under New York City Rocks team after the high school season.

Read more about Johnson, who plans to play up on the 15-and-under New York City Rocks AAU team this spring, and his amazing rise to a varsity scoring machine here.

Here’s a video of Johnson talking about the start of his varsity career, which included a 4-point play as his first basket.

Evan Barczak is Monroe-Woodbury’s all-time wins leader after a first-place finish at the Ridgefield (Conn.) Challenge Saturday.

Barczak recorded his school-record 209th win with a technical fall over Max Khoshabo of Bethel (Conn.) in a 160-pound semifinal. Jamie Franco, a 2008 state champion, had 208 wins for Monroe-Woodbury.

Barczak defeated Mike Ceci of Greenwich, Conn. by technical fall in the final for his 210th career victory. The Monroe-Woodbury senior is now third on the Section 9 all-time wins list behind Cody Ruggirello (Valley Central) 275 and Mike D’Amato (Wallkill/Valley Central) 214.

Monroe-Woodbury’s Kyle Strauss had three pins on his way to the 182-pound title at Ridgefield.  Monroe-Woodbury senior Kendall Elfstrum went 4-0 including a 7-1 win over Dakota Grover of Fitch (Conn.) in the 195-pound final.

Middletown won the Peter J. Caruso tournament behind first-place finishes from Tajh Ali (170), Adonis Morano (182) and Horace Duke (220).

Cameron Green (106), Tyler Matos (138) and Julius Oquendo (195) took second for the Middies.

Pine Bush 106-pound Kevin Urena and Chester 120-pounder Nick Conetta won titles at the Big Ten Invitational Saturday in the Albany area.

Urena defeated Jake DeGuire of Mohonasen 10-7 in the final. Conetta improved to 23-1 on the season, winning by disqualification over Nick Hotaling of Shenendehowa.

Pine Bush’s Jordan Suarez (99 pounds), Chester’s Liam Bullock (113) and Chester’s Dean Trevisano (220) reached the finals.

Dylan Greer (138) placed third, Nick Florin (132) finished fourth, Derrick Magsamen (126) was fifth and Tommy Askey (120) and Austin West (113) were sixth for Pine Bush.

New Paltz 182-pounder Ben Cuppett, a returning Section 9 Division II champion, placed sixth. Chester’s Brody Harris defeated Cuppett 12-4 in a wrestleback.

Monticello’s Patrick Owens won a tournament title for the second straight weekend. Owens took first place at 120 pounds in the Edgemont tournament. Najee Shackelford (126) placed second and Justyn Kelly (145) placed third for Monticello.

The early Tuesday snowstorm has cancelled all Section 9 high school sports action, and all but two local collegiate events.

If you need to fill your wrestling fix, here’s a podcast preview with myself and photographer Josh Conklin

Pine Bush was a basket shy of the century mark as it clinched its second straight OCIAA Division I title with an impressive 98-46 win over Middletown.

Bryan Powell outscored Middletown by himself in the third quarter 18-11. Powell finished with 28 points as Pine Bush remained perfect at 16-0 (6-0 OCIAA). Pine Bush outscored Middletown 60-18 in the second half. The Bushmen scored 36 in the third quarter alone and held Middletown, the defending Section 9 Class AA champions, to one 3-pointer.

Brandon Powell added 22 points, Mason Memmelaar scored 16 points and Marquis Johnson had 14 points for Pine Bush.

John S. Burke Catholic wrapped up the OCIAA Division II title with a 46-37 win at Washingtonville. Tommy Garneau paced Burke Catholic (15-3, 7-0 OCIAA) with 15 points.

Goshen clinched its second straight OCIAA Division III title behind 25 points from sophomore guard Zack Foley and 23 points from senior guard Ryan Lutz in a 77-69 win over Port Jervis.

A few school cancellations Friday prompted the Section 9 Division I tournament to be changed to a one-day tournament Saturday at Monroe-Woodbury.

Some weight classes now may require a wrestler to reel off four straight victories in a day to win.

Photographer Josh Conklin and I broke down each weight class before the tournament was condensed.

Newburgh Free Academy junior Greg Fischer earned his 100th career win with a pin of Middletown’s Cameron Green in 3:15 in the Section 9 Division I 106-pound quarterfinals.

Newburgh Free Academy sophomore 152-pounder Tyler Serafini notched his 100th career win with pin of Saugerties’ Colden Staccio in 2:44 in the round of 16.

Port Jervis junior Jason Butler outlasted Minisink Valley’s Demetrius Moore 1-0 in the ultimate tiebreaker to advance to the 170-pound semifinals.
