Six of seven finalists take titles, Cavaliers repeat as county tournrey champions

South Carroll advanced seven wrestlers into the championship finals at the county tournament Friday at Westminster High School, giving the Cavaliers 134 points and the lead in the standing.

Winning the tournament title can be done despite another team pegged as the odds-on favorite.

Seven of Carroll's eight schools have participated in a regional dual tourney (either Class 4A-3A or 2A-1A) at some point in their history, but only 19 times has a county team advanced to the state tournament. And Carroll has but three state dual-meet champions, with North Carroll taking the inaugural 2A-1A crown in 1994 and Winters Mill earning back-to-back 2A-1A titles in 2012-13.

The Cavs and Falcons have been two of the top teams in Class 2A-1A over the past several years, with seven combined state titles since 2011 — WM won state duals 2012 and 2013, and team tournament crowns from 2011-13; SC has won the last two team tourney titles.

Running back Steven Baca, offensive lineman Brian Plummer, and safety Silas Kelly were honored among state's best.

As a junior at 113 pounds, Eckenbarger placed second at the county tournament, second at the Class 4A-3A North Region tourney, and fifth at the 4A-3A state tourney. Room for improvement, which is why the team captain said he likes participating in events like the Duals at Westminster.

SC reeled off seven wins in the final nine bouts, capped by a pin from state champion Jamar Williams in the finale, and edged the Owls 39-33 to hand Westminster its first county loss of the winter.

South Carroll collected 10 pins and walloped Wilde Lake 74-6 in non-county wrestling action Monday in Columbia.

South Carroll and Manchester Valley both host regional finals tonight, looking to capture a region crown and earn its spot in the state tournament next week. The Cavaliers and Mavericks were both the top seeds in their respective regions, earning them the right to avoid travel through the first two weeks of the postseason.

The Cavaliers' defense dominated from the first snap as South Carroll shut down the Mustangs in a 21-0 victory. The Cavaliers (10-1) came out looking to stop the run and they succeeded, as Marriotts Ridge was forced to throw more times than it would have liked to.

SC used four long first-quarter touchdowns to handle the Knights on the road, 42-7, capturing its second straight county championship and clinching a spot in the Class 2A playoffs in the process.

South Carroll's defense scored the first points of the game and didn't let up, as the Cavs pulled away to complete a 36-6 victory.

SC's Steven Stockslager, a 250-pound guard, paved the way for many of South Carroll's power run plays, including Jamar Williams' 85-yard touchdown run on the Cavaliers' first offensive play. South Carroll rushed for 375 yards on 32 carries. That's 11.7 yards per carry.

Century against Manchester Valley should be another matchup that has county championship implications.

Silas Kelly scores twice as the Cavaliers moved one step closer to a county championship.

Manchester Valley is 4-0 and will host defending county champion South Carroll. The winner will hold at least a share of first place in Carroll, depending on how Century does against Francis Scott Key.
