OVIEDO NOTEBOOK BULLETS

• In a Region Championships tourney that featured the top three ranked teams in the Florida 2A division, nationally-ranked Oviedo sends 10 wrestlers to the Florida Finals State Championships held at The Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida on 19-20 Feb. 
• Oviedo wins it 8th consecutive Region title.
• Five of the top ten team finishers were from the District that Oviedo competed in last weekend to qualify for the Region tournament.
• In the toughest weight class of the tournament that saw a 3rd place finisher from last year's State Championships not qualify this year, Oviedo's Erin O'Dell and St Cloud's Frank Cousins, both USA Wrestling Fargo All-Americans, faced-off again in the finals for the second weekend in a row of the State Championship series, in what is anticipated to be another finals match-up next week for the State Championship title at 160.
• USA Wrestling Fargo All-American and state-ranked #1 Joey Hefley claimed his Region Championship title over state-ranked #3 Justin McKay of Land O'Lakes in the finals by score of 15-3.
• Two-time USA Wrestling Fargo All-American, defending State Champion, and state-ranked #1 Chase Gordon dispatched Oak Ridge's #3 state-ranked Justin Thiele by score of 15-5 for a second straight Region Championship title.  Thiele's only losses on the season are to Gordon.  Chase will wrestle for the Oklahoma Sooners next year. 
• Gordon ties the team record for most wins in a season at 51.  He now shares that record with Justin Fraga, who placed 3rd at the State Championships his freshman year, 2nd as a sophomore, and stood at the top of the State Championships podium his last two years as an Oviedo wrestler.  Justin was also a USA Wrestling Fargo All-American.  He was an NCAA Championships qualifier while wrestling at Purdue University in the Big Ten Conference and is now a current member of the Oviedo coaching staff.
• Joining Gordon and Fraga as the only other wrestlers in the history of Oviedo wrestling to ever hit the 50 win mark in a season are now Hefley, Jay Taylor, and Doug Vollaro, all three Region Champs with 50 apiece.  Looking to also join the ranks of 50 wins in a season is Ray Rowland, currently at 47 victories.
• Vollaro and Taylor are in a race to the finish for most team pins for the year, with Vollaro up one at 39.  Both have surpassed the previous team record of 35 in a season, held by Kenny Lester.  While at Oviedo, Lester was a State Champion, a USA Wrestling Fargo National Champion, and ranked #1 in the country in his weight class during his senior year.  He currently wrestles at Arizona State University. 
• Vollaro's win in the Region Championship finals was over a previously undefeated 53-0 senior opponent.  Doug is a 2009 USA Wrestling Fargo All-American in freestyle.
• Freshman Alton Meeks, a 2009 Tulsa Nationals Champion, battled his undefeated senior and state-ranked #1 opponent for 4 overtimes in the Region Championships finals at 215.
• Although falling a match short from qualifying for the State Championship tournament, sophomore Nick McLean finished the season in strong fashion.  At the District tournament, he was unseeded and upended the #3 seed en route to qualifying for the Region tournament.  In the first round of the Region tournament he beat a District Champion 10-0 to open things up.  At the Region tournament, he scored important team points by going 3-2, losing only to the Region Champion and third place finisher.
