Some results from this week

We've got some basketball and wrestling action between Carroll County Athletic League opponents going on this week, so let's take a look at some of the games and matches that have taken place so far.

Wrestling

South Carroll 60, Francis Scott Key 24

Recap: The Cavaliers improved to 15-0 (3-0 county) behind pins from Evan Owen (113 pounds), Ryan Athey (126), Michael Pizzuto (132), Anthony Bond (145), Manny Rodrigues (152) and Brandon Athey (170). The Eagles (4-12, 0-3) picked up pins from Gabe Dell (195) and Jacob Dell (220).

Manchester Valley 61, Winters Mill 12

Recap: The Mavericks (12-3, 3-0 county) reeled off 12 wins in a row to take Lee Seipp (132), Blake Ray (145), Travis Green (152), Jake Boog (160), Connor Ryan (170), Vinson Smith (195), and Kobe Pennewell (285). Chris Gaeng (106) recorded a pin for the Falcons (10-4, 2-1).

Pat's Take

Looks like South Carroll and Man Valley are on a collision course to determine the county champion. The Cavs visit the Mavericks on Jan. 25 for their regular-season dual meet. 

Mat Notes

I recently visited South Carroll to chat with junior Michael Pizzuto, who earned the latest CMSportsNet Athlete of the Week honors. Check out our video interview with him here.

Boys Basketball

South Carroll 61, Liberty 46

Recap: The Lions got to within five points late in the third quarter, but the visiting Cavaliers (4-6, 2-2 county) pulled away behind 15 points each from Owen Scott and Chase Fowble. Colin Maynard added 13 and Karson Pavlik scored 11 for SC. Shane Stewart led the Lions (8-2, 3-1) with 14 points, but they saw their six-game win streak come to an end and dropped their first county game of the season.

Pat's Take

The Liberty loss leaves Century (9-1, 4-0) alone in first place atop the county standings. The Knights downed Westminster 66-47 on Jan. 10, and face South Carroll on Jan. 14 for their other game this week. 

The Lions and Knights square off next week in the first of two regular-season matchups. Should be a good one as always.

Hoops Notes

There were some other boys basketball games going on around the county. We have some highlights from a recent clash between Francis Scott Key and Man Valley.

Girls Basketball

Liberty, Man Valley, and Century have become the top three teams vying for the county crown. And the Mavericks (9-1, 3-1) won their sixth in a row earlier this week by traveling to FSK and clipping the Eagles. Take a look at our CMSportsNet highlights from that game in Uniontown.

And coaches, the request has been sent out (by me) to help put these roundups together. Any cooperation we can get with box scores and game/match results will make the roundups more compete -- and recognize the standout athletes and teams around Carroll County.
