Upcoming Events for BRW

Mulch Sale, Fauquier Tourney, Camp All Approaching

     With the season officially closed, it is now time to start planning for the rest of the year.  With that in mind, here are some upcoming events, as well as information on things for the spring and summer.

 1. Off-Season MAWA Tournament at Fauquier HS - Sunday, March 17th - All Day

     This Sunday the Ashburn Wrestling club will travel to Fauquier HS, about an hour away, to get our first off-season matches under our belt.  All Broad Run Wrestlers are invited and encouraged to attend.  Singlets can be provided for those that do not have them, though they must be returned that day.

     Rides can be provided as well, but if we can get a couple of parents to car pool it would be greatly appreciated.  For more information, click here, or attend Club practice this Tuesday or Thursday. 

2. The Mulch Sale - Saturday, March 23rd - All Day

      On Saturday the 23rd, the Broad Run Wrestling team will meet to spread the mulch sold by the BR Booster Club.  This is a HUGE fundraising event for the program, and all the proceeds go DIRECTLY to an account for summer camp for each child.

     The money earned is totaled and then split by the # of hours worked by each wrestler.  In the past, wrestlers who worked all day earned over $100 towards camp at UVA, approximately 1/4 of the price!!

     Wrestlers should start signing up with the coaches to let us know you will be working.  You WILL GET DIRTY!!  We may need a few parents to drive kids around, especially if you have a truck.

3. Summer Camp at the Univ. of Virginia - Sun., July 7 - Wed., July 10 - Overnight

     While Summer Camp seems a long way off, we want to reserve our spot!  Every year we have taken over 20 kids to camp, and we want to do it again!

     UVA runs a team camp and the kids will learn technique as well as wrestle dual matches each day.  It is fun and a great way to build a team connection as well as your skill level.  Money from the mulch sale will go towards attending and we get a discount when we have over 10 people.  For more information on UVA Camp, click here.

     Registration can be brought to Coach Totaro, or send directly to UVA.

If you have any questions email Coach Totaro (james.totaro@lcps.org) or Coach Costa (buckeyes05@msn.com).

BE SURE YOU ARE WORKING OUT, RUNNING AND CONTINUING TO TRAIN.  FOR INFORMATION ON CLUB AND ASHBURN ELITE, CHECK OUT WWW.ASHBURNWRESTLING.BLOGSPOT.COM 

Banquet Goes Great

Spartans Close the Season with Their Banquet

  Though it seems like November was just here, another season is in the books, and the Spartans ended it in the usual fashion - the End of Season banquet.  

  The banquet was held Sunday night at Broad Run with food and desserts from parents as well as the main course from All-American Steakhouse.  The night went off without a hitch with JV wrestlers receiving their awards, pins, and their newly minted Ausberry Trained t-shirts to signify the finishing of their first season under Coach Ausberry.

  From there it was on to the Varsity Team who also received their Costa Trained t-shirts, along with their letters, service bars, captain stars, and so much more.  Earning this year's Coaches Award for his incredible turn around season and a State qualification was Timmy Brown, a sophoore for the Spartans.  Earning Most Improved was Timmy's practice partner and Region qualifier Tyler Corbo.  Finally, the MVP for the season was none other than Connor Bryant who led the team in matches, wins and pins on the season.

  And let us not forget about our Seniors and Senior managers.  Each Senior was awarded a 16x20 poster of their accomplishments this season, along with pictures of them in action, marble plaques provided by Spartan sponsor James J. Totaro & Associates ( a tradition now in its 9th year), and their shirts and other awards.  

  Earning Captain Stars were Clayton Shepherd and Logan Shain, who both also won scholarships through the program (the Loya Scholarship and Spartan Wrestler scholarship respectively).  

  Finally, we honored our Senior managers, who will be greatly missed, as well as our team parents, the Martin's who retire after 3 years as Spartan Parents, but were added to our wall of Heroes.

  We look forward to a great off-season and seeing everyone throughout the year before next November when we start it all again!

2 State Qualifiers; 1 Medal

Martin, Brown Qualify to State Tournament

Both Make Top 12; Martin Medals 7th

  In a season that has been marked by numerous highs and lows, two Spartans were able to reach the ultimate stage - the Virginia AAA State Tournament held at Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, VA.  For Timmy Brown, a Sophomore at 106, it was his first trip to the big show and an incredible improvement over a season ago.

  "Last year, poor Timmy was 0-13 and 20 lbs under weight," said Totaro of his tough lightweight.  "This year, the only two words that can describe him are 'tough' and 'determined' - plain and simple.

  Those two words could not describe the 98 lb terror better as he has wrestled much of the season fighting to hit triple digits on the scale.  But, on the mat, speed and toughness rule, and Brown used just that to defeat his Salem opponent to win his first State match of his career; a major step for a young wrestler.  Timmy would end the first day 1-2, placing in the Top 12.

  The story for Tarkan Martin was much different as this was his 3rd straight trip to the State Tournament, but the first two trips had not ended the way he had hoped.

  "Yeah, getting sick the week of the State tournament definitely sucked last year," said Martin of his 1-2 performance at Robinson in 2012.  "But this year, I finally reached my goal and beat guys I never have before along the way."

  Martin, who was injured for over a month earlier in the year, almost saw his chances at a 3rd State Tournament ended when Willie Inserra of North Stafford wrenched his shoulder and incapacitated Tarkan for much of December and early January.  Martin would fight back from injury, but struggled to find his 'true form' until early February - just in time for the postseason.

  "He just didn't look like Tarkan; making mistakes, little things just looked sloppy," said Josh Costa, assistant coach for Broad Run.  "He fixed it all though, and even added a few things and peaked exactly when you want to see a kid peak."

  The coaches thought that peak was at the Regional tournament when Martin notched his 100th win and a 3rd place finish to qualify for the State Tournament.  Little did they know that Tarkan, who would have to see Brock Jacobsen of Edison, would be able to upset Jacobsen after losing by major decision to him earlier in the year.  With the win came what Tarkan had been working towards for 4 years; a State Medal.

  After losing his next match, Martin would need to settle for 7th or 8th place, but would face another former opponent who had defeated him earlier in the season - Willie Inserra.  

  In a story that seems like something out of an ESPN360, Martin was more ready for Inserra than ever before.  Knowing Inserra would look to throw and run a deadly leg series, the plan was to beat him on his feet, and the plan was followed perfectly.

  Martin started by scoring the first takedown and releasing Inserra, and followed it up with 2 more takedowns to take a 6-2 lead.  Following injury time from Inserra, Tarkan would continue the neutral attack, being taken down only once late in the third period, while scoring a total of 6 takedowns in the match and avenging a loss that almost never let him get to this point.

  "It is all just surreal.  I can't believe it's all over." Tarkan expressed, as he looked back on four years with the program.  But with the 7th place medal, Martin adds an impressive group of All-State wrestlers in the Broad Run Program. 

  Check out the next post to see the entire list of All-State Wrestlers from Broad Run Wrestling.

Spartans Put 3 Into Cedar Run Finals; Earn a Champ

11 Qualifiers Head to Regionals Next Weekend

  While the tournament scoring did not show the success of the Spartans, the number of people going on to Regionals did.  Broad Run placed 5th overall in the Cedar Run, an extremely disappointing finish, but they did qualify 11 of 14 to Region competition, and had three finalists.

  Placing 4th at Districts, and earning a bid to the next round, were Seniors Diego Loya (195) and Clayton Shepherd (160), as well as Junior Ben Paul (132) and Sophomore Tyler Corbo (113).  Paul would later be pulled from the Region Tournament due to concussion symptoms suffered from a head trauma incurred in his lat match of the District.

  Placing 3rd for the Spartans were Juniors Zach Fossett (152) and Connor Bryant (182), along with Sophomore Ewen Riordan (285) and Senior Phillip James (220).

  In the finals, Timmy Brown (106), Tarkan Martin (138) and Logan Shain (170) would all be automatically qualified for the Region and have a chance to be added to the extensive list of Spartan District Champions.  Timmy Brown would fall short against Matt Asper of battlefield but fought hard and showed huge improvement over his 0-13 record from a year ago.  Logan Shain would also place 2nd with a loss to Alex Thomas of Battlefield by fall.  Broad Run would earn 1 District Champion as Tarkan Martin defeated Robertson of Patriot to earn the top spot at 138.

State Tournament Will Have 2 Spartan Wrestlers Entered

Martin, Brown Medal at Regionals to Qualify

  Senior Tarkan Martin and Sophomore Timmy Brown placed 3rd and 4th respectively in their classes to earn a bid to the AAA State Tournament in Chesapeake, VA on February 15-16.  Tarkan placed 3rd after falling to Casey Bowers of Hylton in the semifinals, but came back to win back to back matches to earn bronze.  

  Timmy Brown lost in the quarters to eventual Region Champ Tommy Aloi of Forest Park, but would win 3 consecutive matches to earn a spot in the consolation finals before falling to Nail of Colonial Forge.  Congratulations to both and good luck next week as they look to earn All-State placement by earning 8th or higher in the tournament!

Spartans fall to Battlefield; Defeat Patriot

A 2nd place Regular Season Finish for Broad Run

  In the final matches of the season, Broad Run fought, but fell just short, of a regular season duals championship.  Up first on the night, the Spartans faced the defending Cedar Run champions Battlefield, and the winner would take home the trophy for the regular season.  Starting at 138, Broad Run was able to pick up a major decision from Sophomore Chris Lamboy, but gave one right back to Junior Justus Weaver of the Bobcats.  From there Broad Run would win at 152, but lost at 160 and 170.  The 182 rematch between Andrew Thomas of Battlefield and Junior Connor Bryant was highly anticipated by the coaches of both teams and it would be Bryant who came up with the huge 6-2 decision.

  Diego Loya would add 6 more to the team score with a pin at 195, and disaster would strike the next two matches as both Senior Phillip James of BR and Lee Ferrill at HWT for the Bobcats were both injury defaulted out of their matches for a 6-6 swing in points.  106 and 113 were tough fought matches, but the opponents were too much for the Spartans, and in the end, Broad Run would fall 41-25 moving to 3-1 on the season in District and needing a win to hold on to 2nd place.

  With the loss of their 220 wrestler against Patriot, the Spartans were forced to forfeit at least one weight class.  Thanks to some huge wins from Timmy Brown and Tyler Corbo at 106 and 113, as well as pins from Zach Fossett, Diego Loya and Ewen Riordan, the Spartans were able to pull out a 38-32 victory over the Pioneers and solidified a 2nd place finish in the Cedar Run.

  Up next for the Spartans will be the District Tournament where the Spartans will look to qualify as many as possible to the Region and hopefully crown a few District Champions!

Snow Stifles Spartans Final Events of Regular Season

Wrestlers Prepare for Final District Matches

  With snow canceling the weekend's events, the Spartans will now wrestle their last two Cedar Run District events on Wednesday January 30th.  Battlefield will host the last District tri-meet as Broad Run hopes to knock off Battlefield and Patriot to claim the Cedar Run Regular Duals Championship.

Loudoun Valley Duals Bring Spartans Back to Reality

3-5 Record on the Weekend is 'Unexpected'

Photography by Jessica DiNovo

  Following a huge weekend at Freedom last weekend, the Spartans were hoping to continue their hot streak through the Valley Duals in Purcellville, VA.  However, injuries, sickness and exam fatigue would all play roles in what turned into a less than stellar weekend for the Spartans.

  The Loudoun Valley Duals is a 2-day duals tournament where each team is given 8-9 matches in a round robin format.  With snow affecting some teams a new schedule was created, and Broad Run was slated to see some tough competition  exactly what is needed with Districts approaching.  

  The first match of day 1 was a tough one against one of the top programs in the state; Westfield HS.  The bulldogs would prove far too much for the Spartans who would only be able to earn 12 team points in the match.  Washington HS of West Virginia was also a tall task for Broad Run, and they would fall to a similar fate and be 0-2 after the first two rounds.

  Coach Totaro put in plainly, "we just didn't wrestle well.  I think we go caught in a bit of a trap game; came off some big wins and just lost sight of things.  We will refocus and be back and ready to compete."  

  Some of that fight came back as the Spartans faced off against Liberty and Hedgesville (WVA) and pulled out two decisive victories.  Both teams wrestled well but the Spartans would come out victorious 39-34 over Hedgesville and 63-9 over Liberty.  Unfortunately, the Spartans would lose Paolo Cardella to a potential concussion, but would get to celebrate Freshman Eric Potak's first varsity win.

  Saturday would be another tough day as Broad run was slated to face, Stafford, Sherando and North Lebanon (PA).  All three would end up in losses for the Spartans, with the loss to Sherando coming to a 37-37 tie, with criteria H deciding that Sherando was victorious.  

  "I've never seen a match come down to 'most first scored points' before," said Totaro, "but I guess I have now."  He continued that the team was wrestling better and sometimes things just don't work out.  He was pleased that the team was able to pull out a win against Heritage, though with only 6 men in the line-up it was a rather empty win for the Spartans.

  With the 3-5 finish, the Spartans moved to 24-11 in duals on the season with 7 duals left on the schedule.  The team is hopeful to hit 30 wins on the season, but also wants to make sure that they are peaking at the right time and are prepared for districts.

  Broad Run wrestles back-to-back days on Friday in a District Tri-Meet, followed to a dual event on Saturday at Woodgrove HS known as the Ring the Bell Tournament where each pin comes with the ringing of a miniature Liberty Bell.

Spartans 3-0 in Cedar Run with Huge Win Over Rival Freedom

Team Also Takes 2nd at the Freedom Duals

Photography by Jessica DiNovo

  The rivalry between Freedom and Broad Run is relatively young, but has stayed consistent as the two schools have traveled from AA to AAA together; the only two schools in Loudoun that have done so.  Add to that the fact that it has been Freedom that, in recent past, has kept Broad Run away from a potential District Championship, and it is easy to see why the rivalry is there.

Corbo works to the fall at 113lbs against Freedom.

  On Saturday, the two teams met, at the Freedom Duals, and would start the day with a dual against one another.  With a win, the Spartans could keep their hopes of a regular season District championship alive, and after winning 10 of 14 matches the Spartans moved to 3-0 in the Cedar Run and took one step closer to earning the crown that has not been attained since the Class of 1995.

Martin's win solidified a Spartan victory
over rival Freedom.

  Starting at 182, the Spartans were able to take an early lead as Connor Bryant won by decision.  Freedom would quickly tie the match 3-3 with a close 3-1 loss to Kammerdeiner.  From there, Broad Run would go on a roll, winning 7 of the next 8 matches.  Senior Phillip James would secure a win at 220, and Ewen Riordan would endure a long match before coming out on top.  The terrible twosome of Timmy Brown and Tyler Corbo both tallied big wins which began to put the match out of reach for the Eagles.

  Entering the 145 match of Tarkan Martin v. Andy Hinrichs, the Spartans needed only one more decision to solidify victory.  Tarkan scored an early takedown, but Hinrichs would then take a 3-2 lead going into the 2nd period.  From there, Martin would take control and earn a 7-4 decision to put the dual out of reach and keep the Spartans undefeated.

  "It was a huge win for us." said Coach Totaro, "and we definitely did what we needed to do to achieve our goals."  The team would parlay the 40-16 victory over Freedom to add 3 more dual wins to their record on the day and win their pool.  "Beating Freedom was awesome.  They were missing some guys, but we still felt we had a good shot to make it happen" said Coach Josh Costa.

  The next 3 victories came over King George, William Monroe and Edison high schools, which put the Spartans in the final against Pool B winner Mt. Vernon.  Though the match was close, Mt. Vernon would prove too much for the Spartans, who would place 2nd for the 2nd time in dual tournaments this season.

  Up next for the Spartans will be the Loudoun Valley Duals, which will be 8 matches over 2 days.  be sure to check back in for more details on the event.

Broad Run Goes 2-0 in Cedar Run District Duals

Celebrates Over 40 Years of Tradition

 Photography by Jessica DiNovo

  January 9th was a big date on the Broad Run competition calendar for numerous reasons.  First, it was Senior Night - a joyous and special occasion where teams honor and thank their Seniors for their time with the program, as well as the parents who have supported them.  Secondly, it was the first Cedar Run matches of the season which would position the Spartans for a chance at a District crown, or leave them waiting for a chance for individual glory at the tournament.  Lastly, it was the 2nd annual Alumni Night for Broad Run Wrestling which celebrates the great tradition of the program.

  For the current Spartans, the matches against Stonewall Jackson and Osbourn would not be easy, especially as Broad Run had to remember the fateful 36-33 loss to Osbourn last year in the final match.  However this year would be different as the Spartans made easy work of the Eagles of Osbourn, defeating them by a score of 51-20.

  Broad Run would win its first six matches from 152-220 before taking a loss at heavyweight, putting up a team score of 32-6.  Only 3 other wrestlers would come out on the wrong end of their match as the Spartans racked up 10 wins in 14 matches and took a 1-0 record in the Cedar Run District.

  Stonewall Jackson would be the other district opponent that night and they too would fall to the Spartans by a score of 48-31,and it would be the dependable upper-weight of the Spartans that would power them through.  Shain, Bryant, Loya and James would all record 1st period pins, and lower-weights Timmy Brown and Mauricio Ballon would also add 6 apiece to help up the team score.  With the win the Spartans were now 2-0 in the Cedar Run and had hopes of knocking off 3 more opponents and a chance at a district trophy, which has not been accomplished since 1994.

  the more sentimental portion of the evening came with the presentation of the Alumni and the Seniors.  Broad run offered a catered dinner from the All-American Steakhouse including chicken, ribs, baked potato, salad and rolls. as well as dessert, to its parents and alumni before parading them to the mat.  With nearly 30 members of the SWAA (Spartan Wrestling Alumni Association) in attendance, representing 1984 to 2012, the alumni took their place on once side of the mat as the crowd and non-Senior wrestlers applauded their recognition.  Following them was the presentation of the Seniors and Senior managers of the team.  By the end of the presentations, Spartan wrestlers young and old encompassed almost the entire home mat of Broad Run.

  "We want our alumni to come back every year.  It's important for us to keep in touch and we truly are a family," said Coach Totaro, an alum of 1999 himself.  "It's a tradition we hope to have grow each year and we want to make special."  Plans for next year are already in the works according tot he staff as they plan not only alumni night, but the 5K event in the fall as well.

Spartans 1st Tournament of 2013 Brings 4-1 Record; 3rd Place

5th Annual Growing Earth Duals A Great Success

Photography by Jessica DiNovo

  For the past 5 years, the first weekend in January has been the date for the Growing Earth Duals; an event put on by Broad Run hosting 10-12 teams on 5 mats in duals competition.  Each year, there is a new twist to how the champion will be crowned, but it is always an enjoyable event.

Vasquez works for the fall against Tuscarora to earn team points.

  This year's event held 10 teams in a competition to see which teams could do the most pinning in the shortest amount of time.  Each team earned points for  pins in the first second or third periods, with more points being awarded for the early periods; 6 in the first, 4 in the second and 2 in the third.

  Broad Run would place 3rd overall scoring 155 total pin points on the day. and falling just 11 points short of runner-up West Springfield and tournament champion Skyline, who amassed 230 points on the day.  On a positive note for the Spartans was their 4-1 record defeating Potomac Falls, Park View, Tuscarora and Briar Woods.  Forest park proved to be a tough match up and gave Broad Run its only loss on the day.  With the wins, Broad Run moved to 15-5 on the season in dual competition.

Senior Diego Loya works to turn his Husky opponent.

  Numerous compliments were given to the coaches about the efficiency of the tournament and the wonderful goodies in the hospitality room.  Thanks to wonderful parent and JV support, the tournament ran without a hitch and teams continue to return each year.

Slow Start at Woodbridge Brings Disappointing Finish to 2012

Spartans Place 11th Overall; Achieve Four Medalists

Photography by Jessica DiNovo

  Traveling to tournaments during the winter break always proves to be a difficult challenge for winter teams, and definitely affected the performance of the Spartans at Woodbridge for this year's Battle at the Bridge.  It should be noted that two of the top wrestlers for Broad Run, Tarkan Martin and Logan Shain, were held out of competition for various issues (injury and match limitations).  But it was the start to Day 1 that truly affected the Spartans, who only won 8 of their matches through the first two rounds of the tournament.  

  Returning for the second day were 10 of the 16 entered into the tournament, but Day 2 would have a similar affect as the Spartans would unfortunately fall in numerous early matches, but four would make it to the medal rounds.  Ben Paul (132), Connor Bryant (182), Diego Loya (195) and Phillip James (220), would all medal in the top 6 of the tournament.

  "It's a tough tournament, to be sure, and it's hard coming off a few days off," said Totaro, "but you shrug off a bad day, or tournament, move on and improve from there."  He continued by saying that good wrestlers learn from bad outings and try to keep from letting the situation hit again.

  The team was able to have some fun as they decided to place wagers on the final 14 matches - grand prize; loser did 50 pull ups.  In this Coach v. team match up, the team came back from being down 7-4 in the last three matches to tie the picks.  Holding the tie breaker of the team with the higher team points, the Team won, forcing their coach to do 50 pull ups at the following practice.
