1990-91 Anne Arundel County Wrestling At A Glance

South River Seahawks

Head coach: Charles "Chilly" Orme (sixth season).

1989-1990 record: 10-3, county 3A-2A League champions.

Top wrestlers: Seniors, Bill Whitcher (112), Brian Hunt (145), Jim Chomas (152), Steve Cleary (152) and Brian Anderson (189); juniors, Greg Nida (119), Andy McMahon (160) and Harold Love (171).

Coach's outlook: "Coming into this season, I was thinking we could be pretty doggone tough. This could still be a good season for us, but we've had some problems with injuries and grades.

Anne Arundel County Sun outlook: The Seahawks sent three wrestlers to the state tournament last year and two of them -- Nida (third in county and regional champion) and Hunt (fourth in county, second in regional and state tournament) -- are back. And the Seahawks have a solid lineup throughout.

County runner-up Whitcher will get the Seahawks started in the lower weights. Chomas (16-9 last year) returns to head up the upper weights.

McMahon, Love (15-9) and Anderson (18-4) bolster the upper weights. But the Seahawks have lost one wrestler, Sean Tayman (130-135 pounds), for the entire season after a motorcycle accident. Another, 119-pound Dave Reul, injured his back during the football season. More wrestlers could be lost to academic ineligibility. Still, South River should finish among the
