30 | January 25, 2018 | The glencoe anchor sports glencoeanchor.com Ryan, Trevs impress at conference meet Todd Marver Freelance Reporter New Trier, Glenbrook North, Highland Park and Glenbrook South wrestling tuned up for the postseason, at the Central Suburban League conference tournament. With regionals quickly looming and a start date of Feb. 3, area wrestling teams honed their skill Saturday, Jan. 20, at Maine West in the conference tournament. New Trier placed the highest of the four CSL schools in the 22nd Century Media coverage area with a third-place score of 222.5. New Trier senior Patrick Ryan, took home the title in the 145-point weight class and remained undefeated with a 38-0 record. He was also presented with the Elias George Outstanding Wrestler award at the end of the event. “It’s an honor that the coaches voted me recognizing the hard work our team has put in this year,” Ryan said. “I’m super glad to have partners in the wrestling room who coach me to get better like Jack Tangen, Bayne Kiser and Russell Sanchez because without good practice partners it’s really hard to improve individually, so I’m just really glad that I’ve got those guys to push me every day.” Ryan defeated Highland Park senior Alex Rosenbloom (25-2) in the championship match on a 7-3 decision. “I was expecting a competitive match in the finals,” Ryan said. “I think the difference was my conditioning during the match. As far as something that I can work on, I really think that my takedown finishes could be cleaner. Just working on my technique. I need to improve riding guys in the top position and just trying to get all those things right for regionals in a couple weeks.” Ryan looks to keep his personal and team success going deep in the postseason.

I would say we’re an underdog right now, but in our wrestling room we have the mentality that we should be hanging in there with those teams. We’re just going to wrestle hard and see how it goes out. Hopefully we go out with a regional title and I hope to be able to end my career with a state title.” Rosenbloom looks forward to a potential rematch with Ryan at the Barrington Sectional on Feb. 9-10. His Giants placed sixth at the CSL conference tournament with a score of 118.5. “I was wrestling the top guy in the state,” he said. “I know I’m a top guy in the state. He just took advantage of all of my mistakes. When I stopped wrestling that’s when he took advantage and took me down. It was a tough loss, but it’s good I have the film. I’ll be able to look over it. I’ll see him in three weeks. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get him New Trier’s Russell Sanchez takes down Maine West’s Nick Hernandez.

I think with my talent if I’m on I shouldn’t have a problem. I think it’s going to be there and I just have to wrestle my best and keep on working hard for the next three weeks. I think it’ll come.” Rosenbloom was Highland Park’s lone wrestler to place either first or second at the conference tournament, while the Trevians had four additional wrestlers to finish either first or second in their respective weight classes. Michael Miralles (16-9) placed second in the 113-pound weight class, Jack Tangen (35-1) took home the title in the 152-pound weight class, Russell Sanchez (24- 13) placed second in the 170-pound weight class and Jimmy McDermed (23-9) took home the title in the 285-pound weight class.

Michael Wojtychiw m.wojtychiw@22ndcenturymedia.com For girls and boys basketball, the months of January and February are ones that are to prepare teams for the grueling end of the season and hopeful run to a state title. Many teams participate in shootouts to get an opportunity to play teams they may normally not get a chance to. The North Shore’s shootout, the War on the Shore, however, means a little more to the participants. This Saturday, Jan. 27, will mark the eighth annual War on the Shore featuring the boys basketball teams from Loyola Academy, New Trier and Evanston against three teams from the Chicagoland area and Midwest. “When we started this event, we just wanted to shine a spotlight on the North Shore and some historically good basketball programs in New Trier, Evanston and Loyola and bring in really good teams,” Loyola coach Tom Livatino said after last year’s win over St. Patrick. What makes this shootout different from others is that it helps a local charity that means a lot to the North Shore, the Danny Did Foundation, a foundation whose mission is to prevent deaths caused by seizures. Mike and Mariann Stanton founded the foundation after their 4-year-old son Danny died suddenly on Dec. 12, 2009 in his sleep after suffering a seizure. Soon after, his uncle Tommy, then an assistant coach with the Loyola basketball team, joined Mike, a Loyola grad, and Mariann and now serves as the executive director of the foundation. In the seven years of the shootout, the event has raised nearly $17,000 and has become a staple for one Saturday afternoon of boys basketball on the North Shore. Covering last year’s event, my first War on the Shore experience, was a lot of fun because it was great to see that people of all different backgrounds could come together for a great cause, while also being able to watch great basketball. “Partnering with Danny Did makes it special,” Livatino added last year. New Trier and Loyola will both take part in the eighth annual War on the Shore this weekend at Loyola. 22nd century media file photo “Our thing at Loyola is ‘Men for others’ and this is something that’s more than basketball and an organization and a family that’s special to us.” This year’s event features non-North Shore teams from Geneva, St. Viator and Detroit Jesuit from Michigan. New Trier and Loyola’s opponents, St. Viator and Detroit Jesuit, have a combined 25-6 record on the season, so it should be a good group 2018 War on the Shore — Saturday, Jan. 27 Tickets are $5 at the door.
