Varsity Reserve Team Takes Third at New Berlin West Duals

The Varsity Reserves went 3-2 to finish third in the 10-team Viking Duals varsity tournament at

New Berlin West High School on Saturday.

 

In the first round the Ghosts defeated West Allis Hale, 55-18, to put them in the Gold Pool. Kaukauna went on to defeat Racine Case, 30-27, and Mishicot, 39-38, to set them up for the final two rounds against the top seeded teams.

 

In round four against Oconomowoc, the young Ghosts had problems fighting off pins as they fell down 18-0 after the first three matches. Kaukauna fought back to make the score 27-22, but Oconomowoc’s experience proved to be two much as they ran away with the dual 44-22.

 

The Ghosts fought hard to rebound in the final dual against Delevan-Darien, but were only able to manage three wins and were simply outmatched by the tournament champions 59-9.

 

Senior Craig Schmitt and junior Josh Weber went 5-0 on the day, while sophomore Aaron Bodoh went 4-1.

Budi State Champ

Posted February 25, 2007

Ghosts' Budi sends them home happy
By Tom Goff Post-Crescent staff writer

MADISON — Joe Budi didn't want to disappoint the 18 members of his dad's family who flew in from as far away as Arizona and Puerto Rico to watch his match against Oak Creek's Malcolm Briggs. He didn't have to worry. In the matchup of the state's top two 189-pound Division 1 wrestlers, he was in control all the way.

Budi capped an undefeated 50-0 season with a 9-2 victory over the previously undefeated Briggs on Saturday night at the WIAA state individual wrestling tournament at the Kohl Center. "It feels great," said Budi, a junior, who became the first underclassman among Kaukauna's five state champions and the first to win 50 matches in a season, while improving his three-year mark to 117-20.

Following a scoreless first period, Budi got an escape with 1:35 to go in the second period, but Briggs neutralized that with an escape to start the third period. It came down to the final 20 seconds when the two got into a scramble and Budi came out on top for a takedown and three-point nearfall. "I work on those scrambles a lot and try to get my points," said Budi, who joins Dave Viaene (1983), Joe Vanevenhoven (2000), Justin Geitner (2001) and Nate Van Schyndel (2006) as Kaukauna state champions.

" He's known to be a thrower, so I didn't want to come up high and give him five points." Everything went as planned, according to coach Jeff Matczak. "We were able to stay out of his front headlock and he has got a good cradle," said Matczak. "He didn't attempt any type of leg attacks on us, which kind of surprised us a little bit."

Budi took sixth at state as a freshman at 152 in 2005, but did not qualify last year, finishing third at sectionals. "That was one of my goals. To win my last match of the year because I lost them in my freshman and sophomore years," Budi said.

Among those that made the trip from Appleton to watch Joe wrestle at state were his grandmother Julie, from Mesa, Ariz., and his uncle Jim from Puerto Rico.
