The Canes headed to John Glen High School last Saturday into the buzz saw that is the League VI Tournament. Entering the tournament, League VI boasted county ranked wrestlers in 12 of the 15 weight classes for a total of 19 ranked wrestlers, which is over 20 percent of the ranked wrestlers in the entire county. It is arguably the toughest league in New York State. When all was said and done, WHB finished the day with 5 all-league wrestlers. Freshman Gavin McIntrye ranked 2nd in the tournament at 99 pounds, posted a 5-1 win in the finals to become the only League VI Champion from WHB. Junior Liam McIntyre, who entered the league tournament undefeated, was actually ranked 2nd in the league to John Glenn's Joe Franzese. Liam lost in the finals 2-0 in the last 10 seconds of the match to place 2nd. It also set up at least one very possible rematch at the County Tournament as the two are arguably two of the top wrestlers in New York State at 182 pounds. Senior Tyler Skala (113), Sophomore Jason Montagna (120), and Senior Lucas Villareale (220) all lost to the eventual League VI Champions in the semi-finals, but all went on to win the consolation match to place 3rd. They will all head to "The Show" this weekend at the Section XI Tournament and we wish all of them success! Go Canes!
