I cannot wait until March 14th and 15th, 2025, at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island (formerly the Dunkin Donuts Center), where we will get to watch these guys each collect their first of many NCAA trophies!

Those are bad friends. When I was a 22 year old parapro, my head coach NEVER let me pay for anything when we went out. Because he was kind, considerate, and cared about me. I have a 20 year old college kid on my staff and I never let him pay for anything.
ETHAN SPACHT and AJ MANCILLA made school history yesterday! BBCHS Wrestling has never had TWO WRESTLERS place in the TOP FOUR in the same year. We are so proud of these two young men!
ETHAN SPACHT ➡️ 2x ALL-STATE!!!
Big pin in the blood round!!!
Could not be more proud of this young man. Obviously he is a great wrestler, but more importantly, he is a great person, great friend, great student, as resilient as it gets, & a great role model for his teammates.
AJ MANCILLA: 2x ALL-STATE!!!
With a pin 32 seconds into the second period, AJ joins Mike Russo (3x All-State, class of 1995), Mason DeLong (class of 2016), and Ethan Spacht (class of 2023) as the only wrestlers in BBCHS HISTORY to accomplish this amazing feat!
ETHAN SPACHT: TOP 5 IN THE STATE!!!
Incredibly proud of this young man. Not only is Ethan an incredible wrestler, but he is also a great student, an incredible teammate, an unbelievable person, and a stellar role model. It is an honor to get to work with Ethan every day.
ETHAN SPACHT INTO THE BLOOD ROUND WITH A FALL WHILE UP 13-0 OVER A TOP-RANKED GUY!!!
If he wins his next match (tomorrow), he places top 6 and earns All-State honors!
AJ MANCILLA ➡️ ALL-STATE!!!
HUGE LAST-SECOND SCORE IN TRIPLE OT!!!
AJ and Ethan MAKE SCHOOL HISTORY, as BB Wrestling has only had two All-State wrestlers in one year once - EMERSON RUSHING (3rd) and CHAD MARSH (6th) in 1999.
For those of you that don’t know, one of the greatest human beings on Earth, Cameron Borneman, was involved in a very serious accident recently.
Tomorrow at 1pm, there will be a camp with all proceeds going to Cam’s family.
Ty Starr loses a one-point match in the wrestlebacks, and falls short of his goal of placing top 6 in state as a junior. We are incredibly proud of this young man, his outstanding effort, and his unparalleled toughness. We are excited to see what he can do with his senior year!
AJ MANCILLA PUNCHES HIS TICKET TO STATE WITH A DOMINANT 5-1 WIN OVER A SUPER TOUGH OPPONENT!!! I have never seen him more locked in, offensive, and HUNGRY! Great time to be peaking!
AJ MANCILLA IS YOUR FRESHMAN/SOPHOMORE STATE CHAMPION!!!
Dominant 14-2 win in the state finals. Gave up 0 takedowns, 0 reversals, and 0 back points the entire tournament. Perfect.
ETHAN SPACHT!!!
2x MidStates Tournament Champion with a tech-fall in the finals over the guy with the second-most team points in the tournament (behind Ethan)
38 full teams showed up. Only one individual wins the OUTSTANDING WRESTLER award. Incredibly proud of ETHAN SPACHT for a million reasons. Great person, great teammate, great leader, great worker, great competitor, great student of the sport, great man.
…by a combined score of 215-25…AAAAAAAAND STILL…ALL-CITY CHAMPIONS…BBCHS!!!🥇🥇🥇
Special shout out to all of our SENIORS and all they have contributed to the program! This is an incredibly special group, and they will be missed when they are gone.
AJ MANCILLA wins his quarterfinals match in dominating fashion!
If he wins tomorrow morning’s semifinal match, that would qualify him for the IHSA 3A State Tournament in Champaign next week.

AJ MANCILLA INTO THE BLOOD ROUND WITH A 41-SECOND PIN!!!
He needs to win one more match to become a 2x All-State!
Next match will be tomorrow around 10:30am.
Are there any stats more important than wins and pins in folkstyle wrestling? Some stats from this season:
AJ MANCILLA had 47 wins this season - the most in a single season in SCHOOL HISTORY!
ETHAN SPACHT had 31 pins this season - the most in a single season in SCHOOL HISTORY!
Congratulations to our Regionals placers!

Ethan Spacht’s Freshman Year Hit List:
-
#15
in D1 with only 5 other losses that just got 3rd at the Big 12 Tournament ✅
-guy who just got 3rd at the D3 National Tournament ✅
Not bad for a kid that was a student at BBCHS 10 months ago. Excited for the future!
Top 3 team in the country let’s our guy ETHAN SPACHT start UP A WEIGHT CLASS and he gets a pin in one minute! Ethan Spacht making college wrestling look easy. Impressive, but not surprising.
This school already feels different in the absence of the absolutely wonderful class of 2023! Your personalities, effort, and respect will be greatly missed! The next few classes have some big shoes to fill!
ETHAN SPACHT starts his college career off with a 4 wins and 1 loss day, only losing to a returning NCAA All-American by two points!
Could not be more proud of this young man.

We brought 8 guys to regionals last week and 7 to a brutal 3A sectional tournament today. I am incredibly proud to say that we are bringing FOUR 3A STATE QUALIFIERS to the big dance in a week!
Congratulations to ETHAN SPACHT, ANTHONY LAWRYN, ANTHONY MANCILLA, and AJ MANCILLA!!!
Final results from sectionals:
AJ MANCILLA 🥈
He will be looking to earn his 140th high school varsity win in his first match at state in Champaign next weekend.
Aiden Plumley loses to a tough Andrew kid. Aiden is an absolutely hall of fame example of not making excuses and succeeding through anything and everything. He will be talked about in pre-practice meetings for decades for his resilience and toughness. He has had a great career,
AJ MANCILLA gets a bye in the round of 32, followed by two dominant wins to put him in this morning’s semifinals! Here are his highlights from yesterday:
