Tschida places Fifth and Lowe Sixth

Michael Burckhardt wrestled flawlessly the entire weekend and captured his first State Championship as a junior for himself and the Coon Rapids Cardinals. Burckhardt entered the tournament with a 35-4 record and proceeded to win four grueling matches against the best the state had to offer. Burckhardt won his first match by a 9-0 major against Bryce Kirchner from St. Cloud Apollo, his second match was a 9-6 decision against a very physically strong wrestler from Roseville who sported a 30-3 record, in the semi finals Burckhardt defeated Coyte Kuefner from Owatonna 8-5. Burckhardt then advanced to the finals where he battled it out with Isaac Eichman, from Hastings, an old foe that Michael has wrestled probably 20 times over the years. Michael’s father Lance readily admitted that Michael was probably on the losing end in most of those battles, however, the last few years Michael has turned the corner and in the most important match of their long rivalry, Michael proved to be at his best when it counted the most! Michael Burckhardt is now Coon Rapids 9th State Champion and has a chance to become the first ever two time State Champion. Burckhardt ended his season with a 39-4 record.

Much of the credit needs to go to Erik Berdahl and Jake Emmerfoll who were new to the coaching staff this year and wrestled with Michael virtually everyday all year long. Michael was never allowed to rest and always needed his guard up throughout the season. The coaching staff over the last two months has been calling Michael by his new nick name “Two Time” as he was preparing for this weeks event. We have a feeling that name will continue for… oohh the next year or so! Congratulations Michael well deserved!

Blane Tschida placed 5th in the tournament. Blane came in with a record of 36-3. Tschida defeated Christian Bahl from Stillwater in the first round by a 4-2 score and then had a scare in the second round against Taylor Venze from Farmington. Tschida seemed to hold a comfortable two point lead late in the match when Venze scored a takedown to force overtime. The overtime was short lived though when Tschida quickly took Venze down in the first five seconds to secure the 5-3 overtime victory. Tschida then ran into a wrestler from Apple Valley that he had pinned last summer, however, this time it the tables were turned against Tschida and Tschida was the one pinned when he was caught in a cradle early in the first period. Tschida then lost his first match in the wrestle back round 1-0 against Maas from Bemidji which placed him in the fifth place match where he won by injury default. Blane has had a great season and probably feels he could have and should have placed higher knowing that the kid that won the tournament from Apple Valley, the kid he pinned last summer was the eventual State Champion. Tschida ended his season with a 39-5 record.

Tanner Lowe placed third last year and sixth in the tournament this year. Tanner wrestled a wrestler with 30 wins from Minnetonka and won 5-2 in the first round of the tournament. The quarter finals match Tanner was ahead 4-1 with only seven seconds remaining on the clock when he gave up a takedown and was warned for stalling twice in the last seven seconds. The warnings tied and then put Lowe behind by one point, a point he couldn’t overcome in the final seconds of the match. Lowe, who has been ranked #1 all season long found himself in the wrestle backs where it is very difficult for many wrestlers, with hopes of winning a state championship, to stay focused and motivated. Lowe was able to win his next two matches 2-0 and 5-3 before he was defeated in his next two matches 8-7 and 3-2. Tanner has committed to wrestle at Northern Illinois next season and will be someone to contend with in the college ranks. I am sure that Tanner will anchor his new team like he has for the Cardinals over the years. If the team score is close going into the heavyweight match and Lowe is next on the mat his team can certainly know that they will have the advantage much like the Cardinals have had the last four seasons. Congratulations on a very successful career! Lowe ended his season with a 30-7 record.

We always tell our wrestlers that to go to the show once is nice but to get there as a Junior or before is added valuable experience. Joe Anderson qualified for the state tournament as a Junior and will have second chance next season to get back to the show. If that happens, Joe will have a better understanding of what it is like to come out of the tunnel in front of 10,000 wrestling fans and perform at a high level. Joe had a very tough draw this year and was defeated by Dustin Weinman from Irondale who came in with a 32-4 record. Weinman was then defeated by the eventual State Champion (who beat a three time state Champion and the best wrester in the tournament) and that defeat knocked Anderson out of the tournament. In the first round of the State Tournament, if you lose, the guy that beat you must win for you to get a chance in the wrestle backs, in Joes case his guy was defeated so Joe didn’t get a second chance. However- there is next year for Joe Anderson! Anderson ended his season with a 29-15 record.

The Cards also had three other wrestlers, Darren Gagne, Tyler Berdahl, and Brandt Halseth, claw their way back for true second matches after early round losses. All three gave themselves the opportunity to get to state with a win in their final match, however, all three came up short.

Of the four that qualified, Blane Tschida, the number one seed, had a first round bye, a 9-0 win and then lost a tough 6-4 match to Aaron Dick seeded second from STMA in the finals, a wrestler he had defeated earlier in the season. This is Blane’s first time going to the Show.

Joe Anderson seeded second at 120lbs started qualified with a fall, won a 7-4 hard fought battle and then lost in the finals 14-4 to the #3 rated wrestler from STMA. This is Joe’s first time going to the show.

Michael Burckhardt rated #2 pinned his first two opponents and then defeated the #1 ranked wrestler in the state from STMA 5-1 in a great match. Burckhardt used a quick duckunder on the edge of the mat to secure his win and berth to the Big Show! Burckhardt placed 4th at state last year.

Tanner Lowe qualified , nursing a sore knee pinned his first opponent and then survived a very difficult overtime match 3-1. It was obvious that Lowe was a little winded after missing the last few weeks due to the injury. Lowe was then defeated in the finals on a very controversial call when the referee clearly blew his whistle when the wrestlers went out of bounds and then awarded points after Lowe released his defensive whizzer. Lowe placed third at state last year.

We accomplished much this year! We won the Ninth grade State Tournament, competed in the Clash against some of the best in the Nation and ended the season with a very respectable 28-8-1 record. Looking at the teams that qualified for state this year there are numerous teams that qualified for the state tournament this season that the Cards either defeated or are rated higher than in the polls.

The Cards defeated Hastings #2 39-25, Champlin Park 40-27, Prior Lake 35-24, Willmar 35-33, and are rated higher than White Bear Lake and Little Falls in class AAA. In AA we defeated Milaca and Monticello and Zumbrota in class A. All three of these teams qualified for the state tournament from their respective sections. This is in no way intended to disrespect those programs, it is only meant to convey just how hard it is to get out of section 7AAA. In summary the Cards defeated seven teams that will be wrestling at state this year. The Cards were defeated by only two teams in this years AAA State tournament, Apple Valley and STMA. STMA returns all but one starter next year from this year’s team, Cambridge will graduate nine kids, Coon Rapids will graduate five starters. Therefore, STMA will be a heavy favorite again next year.

This Friday and Saturday the Cards will be at Elk River to wrestle in the Individual portion of Section 7AAA. The top two individuals will qualify for the Big Show in St. Paul on March 1st. Here is the schedule:

The Coon Rapids Cardinals won their third consecutive Northwest Suburban Conference Championship and fourth NWSC championship in the last five years on Thursday night against Andover by a score of 45-21. It was Senior Night at Coon Rapids and the seniors were recognized prior to the varsity dual. Wrestling in their final match of their high school career, four of five seniors were able to find success in their very last home match. Senior, Jake Montague was given the honor of reading the senior poem to the audience and he did a fantastic job!

Open note to our seniors…Seniors, we have enjoyed watching you wrestle over the years and grow into the young men that you have become. We thank you for carrying the torch while you were here and continuing the tradition of success! We have experienced your joy of your every win and the pain of every defeat, we wish you all the luck in your future endeavors- we will miss you! Seniors this year are, Jake Montague, Jason Ramierez, Tanner Lowe, Brandt Halseth, Josh Fleck, Darren Gagne, and Austin Lubinski.

We also honored our two senior managers this year, Danielle Parks and Meghann Records. These young ladies have done an exceptional job over the last four years. They are the glue that holds our program together by doing all the behind the scenes work like stats, equipment, grocery shopping for after weigh-ins and much much more! Every year we ask our managers to do more and more and they always come through for us. Thank you for all you have done! These young ladies will also be missed!

The Cards ranked #6 in the final poll of the season, traveled to Foley ranked #3 on Friday for their final tune up before the section 7AAA tournament in St. Michael and came very close to pulling off an upset. Foley boasted nine seniors in their starting line up compared to only four for the Cards. The Cards built a 15-6 lead with a fall by Tschida, a decision by Anderson, and a huge fall by Nate Julkowski who was losing by a score of 10-0 at the time of the fall. Michael Bothwell then pulled off a take down with two ticks left on the clock to win 4-3 and that was followed by a 8-2 win by Gagne that put the Cards on top 21-6. Foley won the next two matches and then Tyler Berdahl won an exciting 14-12 match. Foley then won the next three matches before Michael Burckhardt won 6-1 at 220lbs. The Cards were down by three points going into the heavyweight match, which usually isn’t a problem with Tanner Lowe anchoring the team at heavyweight. However, since Lowe was injured Shad Olson got the call. Shad came through last week with a huge pin against Milaca but couldn’t duplicate last weeks performance taking on a highly ranked heavyweight and lost by fall late in the third period. The Cards won 7 of 14 matches but lost 36-27 in what was a fantastic night of wrestling.

The Cards will be at STMA on Friday night in the Team portion of the Section 7AAA Tournament. The Cards are the three seed and will face Blaine (#6 seed) in the first round. If the Cards win their opening round they will likely see #2 seed Cambridge. The Cards and Cambridge tied earlier in the season 30-30. If the Cards get by Cambridge they could see the winners of Forest Lake (#4 seed), STMA (#1 seed) and Anoka (#5 seed).

Come out and cheer the Cardinals on next FRIDAY NIGHT!

I must confess, I’m feeling a little guilty-maybe even a bit selfish. I’ve been a little stressed out lately with the end of the season coming up and wondering how our team will perform. In addition, the pressures of getting our banquet done along with that darn banquet video. You know… the great video that Coach Noah Glenn has produced for all of our enjoyment the past five years. And don’t forget the individual videos Noah provides for all the kids; Noah spends hours and hours editing so that each and every kid on the team has a keepsake that he can look at 20 years from now to see how skinny he was. Yes, Noah is a very special person, we are very fortunate to have him.

Over the many years I’ve been involved in the sport of wrestling, I’ve been associated with some really great people. The sport of wrestling has been the glue that holds many of us reading this together. One of these people is Noah Glenn who graduated and was a captain for the Cardinals in 2001 and then went into the United States Navy. After Graduating from the Navy Noah came back to CR, married a very pretty girl, former CR wrestling manager, Muffy Setchell (remember the glue) had a baby boy named Nixon, who is just over a year old now and joined the Cardinal team again as our Ninth Grade Head Coach….. and as you all know (drum roll please) won the Ninth Grade State Championship this year. I knew Noah was special back then, and today, I realized, just how special Noah really is.

Noah has made the decision to donate 60% of his liver to his aunt Patty at the end of this month on February 22nd at Fairview hospital in Minneapolis. Noah’s aunt Patty, has been diagnosed with liver cancer and was told she wouldn’t live past April (2 months from now) with out a transplant. The operation will take approximately 8 hours, and Noah will need to have his chest and stomach muscles cut during the operation which will leave quite a large scar. Noah will spend a week in the hospital and a month at home resting after the operation. When I called Noah tonight, he didn’t know I was planning to write this about him. During our conversation, Noah told me, “one of my goals in life was to be able to save someone else’s life and this is just my way of doing my part, I’m not scared, I’m good to go”. It will take Noah’s liver three months to regenerate. During that time he will tire very easily. Noah;s wonderful bride Muffy, is very supportive of her husbands decision.- she is sooo nice!

When you’re a kid participating in a high school sport it’s fun to see your name in the local papers or be seen on CTN sports with Joe and Howie, it’s nice to be recognized for your accomplishments. That isn’t the case with Noah. Noah wasn’t looking for recognition of any sort and he gave me permission to disclose this information after the fact. I wrestle, no… I fight for the words to accurately describe just how inspired I am by Noah’s gift of life he is so unselfishly giving to someone else. Hopefully, aunt Patty will go on to be an old woman well into her 70’s or 80’s and Noah….well…Noah will just keep on coaching at Coon Rapids giving to our program and inspiring our kids like he inspires all of us.

Like I said, I feel a little guilty worrying about the end of our season and the banquet video. Parents, this is your notice…we may or we may not have a banquet video this year…if we don’t….well…I’d say there was a very good reason why we didn’t. Noah, you are truly and inspiration to all of us, especially the young men who look up to you everyday at practice! Everyone, please keep Noah in your thoughts and prayers, especially on February 22nd.
