Hickory's Wombacker celebrates milestone

We have a mixture of just about everything this week, starting with:
Hickory High wrestling coach Carl Wombacker has been at it for 26 seasons. When the Hornets defeated Mercer 34-33 recently, it marked the 300th career victory for Wombacker.
Reynolds wrestling coach Brian Hills again directed the Raiders to the PIAA Class AA dual meet championship for the second straight year with a 33-26 victory over Northwestern Lehigh in Hershey. Reynolds has also won the team championships at the PIAA tournament in 2005-06.
Greenville, coached by John Reynolds, finished fourth at the dual meet championship, losing to Northwestern Lehigh in the semifinal and Ridgeway in the consolation.
Last weekend, Reynolds captured the Section 2-AA championship, the 37th in the program's history, outdistancing Greenville, the runner-up, 269-199. Reynolds was named section coach of the year.
Mercer hoops
Mercer County has a new all-time leading point-scorer in basketball. Commodore Perry senior Clay Sindlinger scored 24 points in a recent 56-44 loss to Lakeview, but it gave him a career total of 1,985. Brian Brush of Sharpsville held the record of 1,982.
Sharon High's outstanding football and wrestling standout Kellen Harris (6-foot-2, 212 pounds) has signed a letter of intent to play football at Marshall University.
Thiel senior guard Nicole Valentino recently became the 10th player in school history to surpass 1,000 career points. She scored 19 points in a 69-58 loss to Thomas More to achieve the milestone in front of her parents and family. Valentino is a graduate of Sharon High School.
We recently featured Westminster swimming coach Rob Klamut who won his 300th all-time meet recently. Two weekends ago, the Titans swept the Presidents' Athletic Conference championships. Westminster's men outscored Grove City, Washington & amp; Jefferson and Bethany, and the women outpointed W & amp;J and Grove City.
It marked the second straight sweep for Westminster. The Titans were awarded first-team All-PAC honors in 15 events (13 individuals and two relays) and Westminster placed second in 15 individual races and six relays to earn second team all-conference.
