MILL HALL -- After 984 bouts spanning some 22 hours in two days, the 2010 edition of the King of the Mountain Tournament came to a halt here early Saturday evening.

The tournament was won by Perry, Ohio, with 253 points, followed by Greater Latrobe (293), High Point, N.J., (199), and Central Mountain (160.5).

Of local interest, Shikellamy led the way with 91 points, good for 14th place. The Braves were followed by Line Mountain in 22nd place with 80 points, Mifflinburg in the 27th spot with 58.5 points and Lewisburg in 40th place with 24 points.

Here is a close look at how the four local teams fared in the tough tournament:

The Line Mountain Eagles entered Saturday's action with three wrestlers still alive, a trio that included a pair of semifinalists.

Making their way into the semis were defending PIAA state champion and KOM titlist Zain Rutherford (119), along with Travis Erdman (145).

In the consis, the third LM wrestler still alive, Mason Zimmerman, dropped his first bout as he was defeated 2-1 by Isaac Best of Perry.

As for Retherford and Erdman, both won their semifinal bouts to earn a ticket to the championship finals. Retherford dominated Tim Connelly of Penn Trafford for a 16-0 technical fall in 4:50 while Erdman became the second Eagle semifinalist with a 7-4 nod over Tanner Lemon of Perry.

In the finals, Retherford suffered only the second defeat of his young career when he was downed 7-3 by Mitch Newhouse of Perry, while Erdman became the only individual champion from the area when he came from behind to defeat Joey Caccione of High Point for the 145-pound title.

"He was pretty tough on top, but overall I just thought he was pretty funky," said Retherford. "He was hard to wrestle and hard to score points on. Every time I tried to set something up he was able to counter it and I couldn't finish any of my moves."

The Shikellamy Braves entered the second day of the tournament with five wrestlers still alive for a possible place.

Matt Neff (140) was the only semifinalist of the quintet, while Landry Badman (130), Dominick Wolfe (189), Nick Bennick (215) and Nolan Blackwell (285) were in the consolation brackets.

In the fourth round of Consis, the Braves went 2-2, Wolfe and Bennick coming out with a win, while Badman and Blackwell came up short of advancing to the next round of consis to fall out of the tournament.

Wolfe defeated Blaze Buckwalter of Central Mountain 5-2 and Bennick majored Noe Aguilar of Biglerville 16-5. Badman dropped a 12-7 decision to Jason Snider of High Point and Blackwell came up a point short in a 6-5 loss to Tyler Stabilito of Neshaminy.

As for Neff, he fell out of contention for a gold medal in the semis when he dropped an 11-2 major decision to Zach Dailey of Perry. In the consolations, Neff lost his first bout before he battled back to take fifth.

Wolfe and Bennick each picked up their second wins of the day in the next round, Wolfe winning a 16-1 technical fall in 4:16 over Michael Brett of Bedford, while Bennick doubled up on Tim Riley of Council Rock South for a 10-5 win.

In the consi finals, Wolfe dropped a 2-0 decision to Cory Bruder of Parkland to finish sixth, while Bennick won his bout with Jerome Beers, taking a 3-1 OT win to finish third.

Mifflinburg entered the second day of competition with four wrestlers still alive.

David Sheesley (112) and Ty Walter (160) made their way to the championship semifinals, while Zane Rowe (130) and Alan Miller (140) were in the wrestlebacks.

In the fourth round of consis, Rowe and Miller both lost, Rowe dropping a 19-3 technical fall in 4:15 to Artie Walsh of Schuylkill Valley, while Miller came out on the short side of a 7-2 final score to Ryan Watson of Phillipsburg, N.J.

The championship semifinals weren't so kind to Sheesley and Walter as they both came out on the short of their bouts and dropped back into the consolation bracket.

In the consolation place bouts, Sheesley dropped a 9-1 major decision to Penn Trafford's Willie Bohince to finish sixth, while Walter hardly worked up a sweat as he decked Zack Zavatansky of Greater Latrobe in just 55 seconds to finish third.

Curt Schneider was the Lone Ranger for the Lewisburg Green Dragons and he made the most of his first match in the second day as he beat Red Lion's Tyler Schall for a 5-3 win.

Schneider dropped his second match by a 2-0 count to Noah Kail of Greater Latrobe before coming out on the short end of a 7-1 verdict in the consolation finals to Geno Morelli of DuBois to finish eighth.
