MILL HALL -- It was a good second day for Mifflinburg and Line Mountain wrestling as the Wildcats and Eagles came through with some fine efforts in the 2011 King of the Mountain tournament.

In terms of team efforts, the Wildcats finished 11th with 104 points and three placewinners, while the Eagles wound up in the 18th spot with 66 points and four medalists.

Heading into the quarterfinals, Mifflinburg had a trio of wrestlers who were hoping for a berth in the finals, but a hiccup at 120 saw freshman Cole Walter drop an 8-1 decision to Bellefonte standout Tom Traxler to keep that from happening.

In the finals, the Wildcats crowned two individual champions as David Sheesley captured the 113-pound title before the biggest Wildcat, Nazar Mironenko, put the lid on the tournament with a win at 285.

Sheesley won his title with a solid 9-6 win over Bedford's Ryan Easter, Easter finishing as the runner-up for the second year in a row.

"Right now it feels wonderful," said Sheesley. "Not only to come here and win a championship, but to keep moving up each year makes it feel real good right now. I have been good on my feet my whole career and if I can move him (his opponent) to where I want him to be, I can take the best shots and finish a few of them like I did tonight, enough to win."

For his win, Mironenko was a single digit better than Garrett Poorman of Bellefonte for the 4-3 final.

"It seemed like I was a little bit tired in the finals after having wrestled three matches today," Mironenko said. "But pulling through and getting it done makes it feel real good."

If the biggest Wildcat has one advantage over many of the 285-pounders, it might be his quickness on his feet.

"Without that (quick feet) I couldn't have won that match in the finals," he said. "That is one of my big things that I have going for me. This is a tough tournament and it feels good to win it."

The other Wildcat who entered the day in the quarterfinals was freshman 120-pounder Walter. After a quarterfinal loss to three-time PIAA place winner Traxler, Walter came back to post four wins in a row to finish third, avenging his loss to Traxler with a 6-4 overtime win over the Red Raider lightweight in the consi finals.

"He went out there determined to win it," said Mifflinburg head coach Dave Murray about his freshman. "I told him that I thought the match was won when he went into a 30-second flurry and didn't give up a takedown. That was the difference and when he went after it (the winning takedown), there was no stopping him."

The Wildcats also had two other wrestlers alive in the consolations entering the day's competition, but Alan Miller (138) and John Punako (182) both dropped their first bouts to exit from the tournament.

Going into the quarterfinal round, the Eagles boasted four wrestlers with unblemished marks in the tournament in Mason Zimmerman (126), Seth Lansberry (138), Adam Kritzer (152) and Kenny Rothermel (220). However, coming out of the quarters, only Zimmerman remained alive for a possible gold medal.

The quarterfinals didn't treat the Eagles kindly to say the least, as only Zimmerman won his first match of the day with a 7-3 win over Kyle Shoop. He followed that with a 2-0 shutout over Parkland's Ian Evans before he was the victim of a 3-0 shutout handed to him by Nick Gibson of Erie McDowell in the battle for the gold medal.

"If you can't win, I guess that second place is the next best place to be," said Zimmerman. "I didn't come here to finish second, but in this tournament, that is pretty good. He (Gibson) was a tie-up wrestler and that made him a little hard to score on."

After dropping his quarterfinal bout, Lansberry bounced back to win two in a row as he defeated Neshaminy's Ryan O'Connor 5-1 before edging Dom Scalise of Greater Latrobe, 6-5. In his consolation round 6 bout, Lansberry lost to McDowell's Steve Spearman before placing fifth with a 6-3 win over Central Mountain's Joey Miller.

"It is definitely no fun losing, but eventually it is going to happen," said Lansberry. "It really felt good to be able to come back because this is probably one of the harder tournaments we go to, if not the hardest. If you can do good here, you can do good anywhere. I just want to keep working hard through the Christmas break, come back at a lower weight, keep pushing through it and hopefully win states at the end of the season."

Line Mountain head coach Mike Martz liked what he saw from not only Lansberry, but from the rest of his troops making it to the second day.

"I think Lansberry was arguably in the toughest weight class in this tournament," Martz said. "I am proud of all of our guys, especially with the way Seth battled (Biglerville's Laike) Gardner because it was any man's game with the takedown at the end.

Adam Kritzer had a rough day at the office when he went two and out of the tournament, but Rothermel and consolation survivor Cody Rebuck battled back to place eighth at their respective weight classes.

"Cody Rebuck is a guy who really stepped up at this tournament," said Martz. "Even Adam Kritzer could have won either of his matches, but it just wasn't his tournament. All the guys wrestled hard today and that is all I can ask of them."
