SITA AIR NEGLIGENCE

Advertisement State champion Scottie Obendorfer (126), county champions Johnny McLaughlin (113) and Ryan Lawrence (132), and county and two-time regional champion Colin McLaughlin (160) are all one match from championship bouts as the Swarmin’ Hornets pursue their second straight and fifth overall tournament title three weeks after earning an unprecedented fifth straight Class 4A-3A state dual meet championship and two earning their 14th county tournament. Still alive in the consolation rounds are junior T.J. Macklin (120), sophomore John Allan Furgeson (138), senior Davey Creegan (145), junior Brendan Parent (152), sophomore Ben Lokos (170) and junior Michael Bradshaw (220). “Saturday’s semifinal round is going to be huge,” said coach John Furgeson, whose Swarmin’ Hornets vanquished Huntingtown of Calvert County and Oakdale in their semifinal and title matches of the state duals, beating the latter for the second time this season. “We have four in the semifinals, with one match against Oakdale at 126, and we have six guys still alive in the wrestle-backs, so we have to keep going well in the wrestle-backs. We also feel that Oakdale’s got some tough match-ups in the semifinals as well.” A three-time county and regional champion, Obendorfer (38-2), a junior, won his first match 3-2 against senior Alimzahn Yakhuzov of North Hagerstown, and his second 13-2 over Bel Air’s Jacob Reed. Obendorfer has a rematch with Oakdale’s Cameron Delucia (36-1), whom he’s already beaten 5-1. On the other side of the 126-pound bracket, fifth-place state finishing senior Ryan Eckenbarger (45-3) of Westminster takes on sophomore county and regional runner-up Jack Connolly (34-5) of Churchill
