Senior had four pins in four Lackawanna League victories to help Wildcats win Division II title. Also recorded his 100th career pin and 127th career win.

What does it mean to you to have 100 career pins? That was something I thought I’d never really get. I was always thinking about 100 wins, but 100 pins, honestly just kind of snuck up on me. It was this crazy thing that just happened out of nowhere. But I’m very glad it happened.
How have you been able to get so many pins? I think it’s just a by-product of my wrestling style. I do a lot of high-pin moves and it just turned out that way. I’ll always go for the pin because it’s the best thing for the team. And I get off the mat quicker that way. It’s not as tiring.
How satisfying was it to reclaim the division title from Honesdale after they beat you for it last season? It felt really good because so many people said this year that Western Wayne was going to have a rebuilding year. People thought we were going to get destroyed against Honesdale. So it felt great to prove everyone wrong and do so well, even with so many underclassmen.
Thoughts and goals for the rest of the season: For myself, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, I’m looking for a state medal. Top eight, maybe even top three. That would be great. For the team, we have District Duals on Wednesday. If we win that, we go to states. At the first practice of every new season, our coach tells us we want to go to Hershey, we want to go to states. That’s the pinnacle, so that’s the goal.

Wildcat Wrestlers Lackawanna League Division II Champs
In a total team effort on Wednesday night, the varsity team edged Honesdale, 33-32 (on Criteria H; most total first points scored in individual bouts) to capture its eighth Lackawanna League Division II title in nine years.
One year ago on this date, the Hornets registered a 33-31 win to snap the ‘Cats 52-match win streak within the division. Last night was a slightly different story at Mt. View High School, but it brought on the same intense atmosphere that the Honesdale and Western Wayne wrestling rivalry has each year.
Both teams fought with heart and true grit from the opening bout at 126, to the finale at 120. The Hornets deserved the win just as much as us, and we credit them and their coaching staff.
Backed by key pins from Mitchell Herzog (132), Matthew Leslie (145), and Cole Fuller (285), and hard-fought major decisions from Kasen Taylor (160) and Alex Hollister (195), the ‘Cats built a solid lead heading into the final three bouts.
Our three lightweights did a nice job not giving up pins, but the Hornets were able to knot the score at 32-apiece to send the match to criteria. After approximately 15 minutes of running through eight criteria scenarios, the ‘Cats came out victorious, scoring the most first points in individual matchups, 15-10.
The Wildcats closed out the night with a 73-0 win over host Mt. View. In the win over the Eagles, Fuller recorded his 100th career pin, a feat that very few wrestlers have accomplished in District 2 history. With absolute humility, Fuller also passed current assistant coach Mark Turner for most wins in school history. The new mark is set at 127 wins and counting.
With the title, the Wildcats have earned the top seed in next week’s District 2 Class AA Dual Tournament, which begins Wednesday at Western Wayne High School.

126: Dillon Dante (decision)
