Team Fauquier

Matt Raines 100 wins

On the morning of Saturday, Jan.18th that brought a slight snow dusting in the Warrenton area the Conference 22 Duals were set with four wrestling mats down on the gym floor.

Not only did Fauquier have to battle the cold elements outside this morning but also had the number one 4A ranked Eastern View HS to compete against at days’ end.

A day that had fans witnessing Matt Raines reaching his 100th career win was also followed by Fauquier running through district foe Chancellor (63-4), Courtland (63-18), King George (42-24), and county rival Liberty HS (53-21). This only had spectators really waiting for the match-up between Fauquier and Eastern View in round five. The first four matches for both teams could have been classified as a warm-up leading into the final round.

Folks it was a clash between two great wrestling programs as the school fire alarm would not separate these teams from competing against each other. A morning that may have brought Mayhem ended the day with two teams proving that they are the best teams in the 4A state.

All the credit needs to be given to Eastern View as they beat Fauquier 37 to 17 in their first ever meeting against each other. With many changes in a new VHSL alignment with all schools paired into conferences, Fauquier and Eastern View clearly have many high level state ranked wrestlers that should contend for the 4A state title.

As the 132 lb weight class would be the first bout loaded into trackwrestling.com, the battle of these teams would start with a key match-up that both teams were hoping for a win. But it would end with an unsportsmanlike conduct call leaving Fauquier in the hole. Again in all my years of wrestling, coaching, and now writing about it, once again I have never been witness to an event with a wrestling team having a negative score. Yes that is right a -1.

Coach Doug Fisher has been down this road before with team Fauquier and knows how to switch the gears-no panic button to push in these situations just minor adjustment. Growing pains that team Fauquier must overcome as the season moves forward.

Even though team Fauquier could only muster up four wins against Eastern View HS while three matches were declared by forfeits, five other matches would come down to the final seconds in some very tight and closing bouts.

Let’s be clear, it's most likely going to come down to these two wrestling teams once again battling each other in the Conferences tournament, Regional, and then the 4A State meet. So a day that favored Eastern View which had both programs bumping wrestlers up to gain a better competitive advantage during the match, both teams now will ponder how the rest of the season will play out. What is noted from this point forward and as the Conference 22 Duals comes to end wrestlers will be seeded based on Conf. Dual record. One would expect that most wrestlers from Eastern View and Fauquier will square off and will go head to head again next month during the post season play.

Three Falcons went undefeated during the day by posting a 5-0 record: 126 Kyle Roche, 138 Matt Raines, and 145 Garrett Tingen- a sense of “a job well done”. Four other Falcons posted four wins for the day: 113 Daniel Ariola, 152 Clifford Harrison, 160 Vito Camarca, and 282 Andrew Smith-as all of these wrestlers simply have aided in the team’s success through the season thus far.

As team Fauquier continues on with its dual season meets their season dual record now stands at 10 and 4.
