Syracuse.com’s wrestling coaches poll: Who has the most unstoppable move?

Syracuse, N.Y. — Knowing what a top wrestler is going to do when a match hangs in the balance is one thing.

Stopping it is quite another.

At syracuse.com’s recent winter sports media day presented by Rainbow Lettering, we asked Section III boys and girls wrestling coaches which of their athletes has the most unstoppable moves.

Here’s who they nominated.

Boys

Ryan Munn, Carthage

“He’s pretty tough on top with his tilts that he uses. It’s a good move that he’s kind of developed since a young age. And it’s something he’s kind of crafted and something that doesn’t get utilized a lot by other kids.” — Don Dorchester

Jaxon Perkins, Central Square

“Super duck, and his low singles there are pretty tough. Super duck (is) when the kids tie you up, you basically drop your level and you kind of go underneath them there and just using the momentum, you can bring him right to the mat.”— Pat Cost

Edward Geer, Chittenango

“Eddie Geer is a very long human, so when he really cranks on the waist, when he’s on top, the opponents can feel that. And you can hear him grunt sometimes, so it’s pretty good when he gets that tight waist.” — Nic Bacon

Kennedy Thomas, Cicero-North Syracuse

“He’s so unorthodox and athletic and flexible. He does chin whips. He could be on his back and next thing you know he’s off his back and pinning the guy. He’s got very good hips, probably the best hips I’ve ever seen from a wrestler. But it’s just an unorthodox style. You really have to train for his style to beat him.” — Dave Wise

Eric Kozlowski, Fayetteville-Manlius

“Just because he’s so funky. There are times in matches where I thought he’s been buried and he somehow worms his way out of the situation. He’s put a lot of guys on their back after being on his back and he’s just a real funky wrestler and he’s really exciting to watch.” — Eric Wood

Braysen Richard, Herkimer

“Far side cradle. It’s a pinning combination. Reach across, kind of ball him up to the far side, and roll him back when your arms are long enough to reach around just about anybody. That could be a move he’s throwing while someone’s standing straight up. Sometimes he tries to go a little too fast and gets in his own way. But we’re going to slow him down and get him right this year.” — Dave Appley

Hunter Lines, Homer

“Has a pretty nasty tilt to an arm bar. Hunter’s, aggressive, athletic and has put a lot of time into the sport.” — Jason Reynolds

Bryce Dadey, Jamesville-DeWitt/CBA

“He has a couple of high-level skills that he’s getting better and better at. He’s just persistent. He’s really, really good on his feet for a big guy. He’s got a couple of off-side attacks that are really tough to stop, that are a little more high level than a typical high schooler.” — Paul Leblanc

Logan Sheriff, Southern Hills

“He has one of his takedowns, it’s perfect. I’ve seen him hit it in state qualifiers, state placers, I’ve seen him hit it just everywhere and it’s really just beautiful.” — Leo Burke

Carson Brown, Watertown

“Carson Brown is a returning section place finisher for us. He proved in his eighth-grade season last year that he can score from his feet, get off the bottom, and find turns from the top.” — Nicholas Lavin

Logan Willis, West Genesee

“His low single. It hasn’t been stopped yet.” — Brian McAvan

Girls

Breanna Leo, Baldwinsville

“Her leg lace. Nobody’s stopping it this year.” — Brett Cataldi

Shea Ellsworth, Cicero-North Syracuse

“Shea’s single leg. She works hard in the offseason. She practices a lot. So that’s her.” — Ryan Caraher

Lacey Teaken, Fayetteville-Manlius

“She has been with me since seventh grade. And then she wrestled with the boys on the JV team last year as a freshman. Has done really, really well, against the boys. Looking to watching her this year with the all-girls competition and see what she can do for us.” — Tom Hazelmeyer

Marissa Crofoot, Fulton

“I guess it’s just a double leg. She just runs girls over.” — Jeff Waldron

Mya Locke, Homer

“Maya’s bar. She’s tough. She just sticks with it. Once she gets it, she’s not letting go until the ref stops her.” — Anna Cummings

Giulana Jones, Mexico

“She’s been working hard on a leg lace and once she gets it, it’s tight. If she laces it hard there, you can’t really stop it.” — Karintha Myslivecek
