NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Senior Freddy Terranova(Jackson Memorial HS, Jackson, N.J.)—in his first action of the season—and junior Daniel Terronez(Moline HS, Moline., Ill.) each logged three wins Saturday, as Augustana competed at the Gator Boots Duals hosted by Luther College at McGavock High School. The Vikings wrestled three duals, falling to Concordia (Wis.) 25-19, Pennsylvania College of Technology 28-21 and Mount St. Joseph 30-14.

Joliet Junior College wrestler Anthony Bendy may have only three wins in his college career, but he is undefeated in both of his matches against cancer. 

Bendy, a 2015 Lincoln-Way West graduate, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in the summer of 2016, shortly after his freshman year at Illinois State University. He underwent five rounds of chemo in the fall, then headed back to Normal for the spring 2017 semester, taking classes at Heartland Community College. 

He re-enrolled at ISU for the fall 2017 semester, but was re-diagnosed in October. His cancer was caught early, and he was able to finish the semester and defer treatment until after the holidays and his January birthday.

Bendy, who had wrestled in high school, enrolled at JJC for the spring 2018 semester and approached Head Wrestling Coach A.J. Blahut about joining the team in February, but with only a few weeks left in the season, Coach Blahut encouraged him to come out the following season. 

In the meantime, Bendy underwent treatment – a stem cell transplant, but with his own stem cells which were harvested early on. He then endured a very intense week of chemo, with sessions several times per day every day. With his immune system severely compromised by the powerful treatment, he was hospitalized for a month at the University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital, then quarantined to his house for three months after being released. As soon as he was able, he began conditioning and pre-season workouts with the Wolves wresting team. 

“JJC is local since I’m from New Lenox, and it probably would have been my choice for while I was home either way, but wrestling is definitely why I’m still here,” said Bendy, now in his second year with the Wolves. “Coming here gave me the opportunity to refocus on what I wanted to do, but it also gave me the opportunity to wrestle again and compete and feel normal at a time when I didn’t really feel normal.” 

“There have been hard times, but wrestling has definitely helped with my strength, and after being on my own for so long in the hospital and at home, it was nice to be part of team again,” reflected Bendy. “Coach Blahut could have just said no from the start. I was already kind of older and I was still going through treatment so I didn’t necessarily bring a lot to the team. But he didn’t.” 

“Wrestling is more of a personal challenge for a lot of athletes and sometimes I think they’re trying to work out their inner demons and compete against themselves to see where their limits are,” said Coach Blahut. “I think Anthony is making sure that he’s fighting every day, and he’s going to continue to fight regardless of what’s thrown at him, so who am I to take that away? If students have the heart and dedication – those characteristics that are needed not only to be a successful wrestler but also successful in life – you have to let them make their own decision.” 

Bendy wrestled during the 2018-19 season, but earned only one win. 

“Last year was pretty tough because I was still finishing treatment. My body wasn’t really ready, but I was mentally ready. I got a win, but it was a tough year overall,” said Bendy. 

“He definitely took some lumps,” added Coach Blahut. “But he battled every match. You could see he never gave up. He constantly fought. He didn’t put his head down. We told him it would just take some time for him to get better.” 

“This year, he looks a lot healthier, and he’s already won a couple of matches,” continued Blahut. “You could see the smile on his face after he won that first match in November, and then that same day he won another match. It was an emotional day for him, but it was good to see.” 

“I’m definitely feeling better, and seeing my progression from last year to now is probably the best part of it all,” said Bendy, who will turn 23 in January. “Once I’m done wrestling, I’ll probably be much better off with my body than if I had not wrestled again.” 

Bendy, who is taking business classes at JJC, will earn his associate degree in May. Although unsure of his career path, he plans to transfer to Governor’s State University in the fall. He also thinks about coaching wrestling, something Blahut thinks he could be good at.

“He’s been great to have in the room, helping to mentor some of his younger teammates,” said Coach Blahut. “At the beginning of the year, he shared his story with the freshmen who didn’t know him from last year, but he also told them not to waste their opportunities. You only get to be an athlete for so long in your college career and you have to take advantage of it and be willing to live the life, and I think that’s something he’s trying to pass along to his younger teammates.” 

The Wolves host their only home dual meet of the season this Thursday, Dec. 19. JJC will take on Fontbonne University at 5 p.m. and Ancilla College at 6 p.m.

TRIO OF TROJANS LEADING WRESTLING TEAM TO ANOTHER STRONG SEASONIn his quest to develop more All-Americans, Triton College head wrestling coach Tim Duggan is tapping into a multi-generational thread of Trojan achievers on the mats.

Veteran Tommy Russell is ranked No. 1 in the 125-pound weight class early on, newcomer Sean Kelly is ranked No. 5 in the 197 pound-class, and Duggan also can celebrate the breakthrough of fellow newcomer Tyler Zeman to No. 10 at 157 pounds. He transferred to Triton after starting at a Minnesota community college.

Zeman has the genes and the family training to go even higher than No. 10. The Lyons Township graduate is the son of Matt Zeman, a Triton All-American wrestler in 1995. In 1997, he was an assistant coach under former head coach and current Triton athletic director Harry McGinnis when the Trojans won the NJCAA Division III national championship.

Zeman’s wrestling bloodlines run even deeper. Grandfather Otto Zeman was an All-American at Northwestern before he became Lyons Township’s wrestling coach. Meanwhile, Matt Zeman’s brother, Billy Zeman, was a two-time all-state wrestler at Lyons before earning honorable mention All-American honors his junior year at the University of Illinois.

“I’ve known the Zeman family for many years and coaching Tyler is very easy,” said Duggan. “He has been trained well by his family and coaches, who did a great job.”

Tyler Zeman knew how far his kinfolk went. For him, No. 10 is just a starting point. And winning the championship at Triton’s 30^th Annual Art Kraft Memorial Tournament Dec. 14 may propel him higher in the rankings.

“There’s always room for growth,” he said. “It’s great to go up against top wrestlers. The ranking means a lot, but at end of the day, it’s just a number.”

No way is his son just a number while Matt Zeman watches him compete. Backing away from day-to-day coaching in high school, he now has to restrain himself from shouting out advice and competing with Duggan and his staff while Tyler is entwined with an opponent.

“It’s hard to have that disconnect when he’s in front of you, but I’m getting better,” Matt Zeman said.

As a former coach, the elder Zeman knows well to let his son continue to grow in his own wrestling skin.

“Our styles are different,” he said. “Tyler scores points on top, where I never did.  I was real good on my feet.”
Some of that Zeman wrestling tradition rubbed off on Russell.

“Tyler grew up down the block,” Russell said. “He’s a tough kid who grinds. He has the ability to be ranked No. 1 himself by the end of the season”

In turn, Russell’s achievements serve as a kind of role model for Zeman.  He was a national qualifier in his first Triton season and was a two-time state qualifier at St. Rita. More recently, Russell snared the championship at the Yellow Jacket Open Nov. 2 in Rochester, Minn. and a third-place showing at the Ben McMullen Open Nov. 9 in Muskegon, Mich.

Like Zeman, Russell is not obsessed with high rankings. He is at the top of his game. But any momentary setback can cost the No. 1 rating. Russell suffered a close 3-2 loss in the championship bout in his weight class at the Art Kraft Memorial Tournament.

“It’s just keeping up the hard work,” he said. “No. 1 is hard to achieve. It’s a tough spot to get to, everyone is chasing you.  If you put your mind to it, you could do it.”

“It’s always nice to be ranked early in the year,” said Duggan. “But we are not worried about rankings right now. We are focused on getting better and being the best team we can be in March.”

While Duggan, an aggressive recruiter and teacher, has assembled the talent, he delegates much instruction to assistant Jameel Carter, credited by Russell for his rise to the top.

“Coach Carter pushes me,” Russell said. “He wants me to finish my takedowns harder.”

Smack dab in the middle of the Top 10 rankings is Kelly, a Maine South product. Also not worried about specific rankings, Kelly still acknowledges “my record is better than what I expected it to be.”

The freshman Kelly has placed at all five events this season including a runner-up finish against a strong field at the Grand View Open Nov. 16 in Des Moines. Kelly was also runner-up at the Art Kraft Memorial Tournament.

Carter also boosted Kelly’s work ethic. The nursing major tries to achieve discipline in both class, on the mat and in workouts.

“They pushed us hard,” he said of the coaching staff. “They’re very good with our technique. They urge us to work out on our own, run on our own.

“My hand-fighting is better, and creating pressure between me and my opponent. I’m good on the bottom. I can escape.  As you go along and gain more knowledge, you think more outside the box.”

Zeman started well after coming to Triton. Placing twice this season, he took third in the Nov. 23 meet at Concordia University-Wisconsin, going 5-1.

“I’ve gotten a lot better on my feet, and with conditioning,” Zeman said. “I definitely feel stronger. I did a real good job in off-season in running.

“I really like the coaching staff. Tim Duggan works with me individually at practice individually. You could tell he really cares.”

The development of Zeman and Kelly and the continued excellence of Russell could make those All-American rankings a reality for Triton going forward.

“We have a great chance,” said Kelly. “All my teammates have a great shot. We’re close-knit. If we keep it going, we should have multiple All-Americans.”

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Chase Diehl and Ryan Yarnell picked up wins Thursday in SIUE’s final dual meet of 2019, a 35-9 loss to Big Ten power and No. 11-ranked Purdue.

Diehl, a true freshman, defeated Purdue’s Elijah Davis 2-1 ar 165 pounds. The difference was a locked hands called on Davis when he was trying to keep Diehl from escaping.

“My coaches went over about how I should get ore on my offense, take more shots and be more aggressive,” said Diehl. “Even though I didn’t score a takedown, I was happy to get the win.”

“He fought hard through situations, and that’s what helps you get wins against teams like this,” said SIUE Head Coach Jeremy Spates.

Ryan Yarnell also earned a win, accepting an injury default after taking the lead against Max Lyon at 184 pounds.

SIUE, 1-4, is now idle until Dec 29-30 for the Midlands Invitational.

SIUE assistant wrestling coach Ty Prazma had a large cheering section at the Cougar Clash on Dec. 7 at the First Community Arena.

The former Granite City wrestling standout had about 15 friends and family members attending the all-day tournament to watch him coach.

“Just being able to be around family all of the time and feeling like I’m still getting to not only chase my dream of coaching, but also spending time with the people I care about, has been a huge blessing,” Prazma said.

Prazma is in his first season on the SIUE coaching staff. He was hired as an assistant coach over the summer after spending three years at Northern Illinois University.

Prazma, a 2010 GCHS graduate, said he’s thrilled to return to the Metro East.

“I’m loving it,” he said. “I got some advice whenever I was younger and first getting into coaching. One of my mentors told me that it’s not every time that you get to make a move that progresses your career, but it’s also good for your family, and I’ve been lucky enough to do that twice now. But this one is a real ideal situation knowing that I’m 10 minutes away from home.”

Prazma is part of a coaching staff that includes head coach Jeremy Spates and assistant Barlow McGhee. Prazma said he heard about the assistant coaching opening from Spates, who has been heading the Cougars since 2013.

“Coach Spates and I both help out in Fargo in the big (high school) national tournament over the summer,” Prazma said. “I knew he had an opening and we talked about it just a little bit. He asked me to apply and I was lucky and fortunate enough to get the position.”

Prazma said one of his goals is to help SIUE become a successful program. The Cougars have a combined 17 freshmen and sophomores on their roster.

“We’re definitely young,” Prazma said. “With that comes a little bit of inexperience, so we’ve got a lot of guys that have a lot of potential and a lot of room to grow. This is a good thing, but we have to work on our part to get them there. They’re a young talented group that loves getting into the room and getting after all of the work we throw at them.”

After graduating from GCHS in 2010, Prazma went to Missouri and wrestled with the Tigers all four years. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2014 and a master’s the next year.

“I loved it,” Prazma said. “I didn’t achieve everything I wanted to in my career, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

Prazma started his wrestling coaching career at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va., in the 2015-16 season. The next year, he headed back to Illinois in 2016 to take the assistant coaching job at Northern Illinois. He was hired as SIUE assistant in August. 

Prazma said his high school coach, Allen Kirgan, and college coach, Brian Smith, were huge influences in him getting into the coaching profession.

“That was a big driving force in why I felt that coaching was going to be my path,” he said. “It’s really nice to be back in the wrestling community that gave me so much. Now, I’m just trying to return the favor.”

DEKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois University wrestling team used a fast start and strong finish to earn a 23-13 victory over Mid-American Conference rival Kent State in Victor E. Court Wednesday night.

“We got a good start from Bryce West,” said NIU head coach Ryan Ludwig. “He had a slow start getting his takedown, but then was able to create a scramble and found his way into a fall. Fantastic start from him. In dual meets, bonus points matter.

“Anthony Gibson, for his debut at 141, had good energy. He really got to his attacks well. He put a zero on the board for the other guy and created a major decision.”

The Huskies’ (5-3, 2-1) win over the Golden Flashes was their second straight over Kent State and first at home since Jan. 18, 2004.

With the match tied, 13-13, with three more bouts left, Brit Wilson put the Huskies up, 17-13, when he scored a 10-2 maj. dec. win over Shane Mast at 184. Gage Braun sealed the victory for NIU when he posted a hard-fought 5-4 win over Colin McCracken at 197. NIU took a 20-13 into the final bout at 285, where Max Ihry turned in NIU’s second shutout of the night with a 2-0 win over Spencer Berthold.

“Brit Wilson was able to step up as a leader and put us in a situation for a bonus-point victory and really got us back in the game,” Ludwig said. “Gage Braun, I don’t think he wrestled well, but he wrestled tough. That’s what we ask for, that you can control.”

NIU opened up a 10-3 lead through the first three matches. Bryce West started the match off with a first period pin over Tomas Gutierrez at 125, the first bout of the day. After a 3-1 setback in overtime, Anthony Gibson put the Huskies back in the win column, earning an 8-0 maj. dec. over Corey Simpson.

The two schools traded decisions in the next two matches, with Kent State scoring a win at 149 and Mason Kauffman posting 7-3 win at 157.

Kent State went on a bit of a run, winning the next two bouts, one by maj. dec., to tie the match up at 13-13.

The Huskies return to the mat Sunday, Dec. 29 when NIU wrestlers compete in the prestigious Midlands Championships. The event will take place at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates.
