Spartans shine again. The Canadian Champion (Milton): Tuesday, March 9, 2009

On the strength of three individual medal-winning performances, E.C. Drury’s perennial powerhouse wrestling team claimed overall bronze at OFSAA Friday evening.

Graduating seniors Ranbir Hans (47.5 kg) and Jared Robb (83 kg) ended their high school careers with gold, while Duncan Moffat (57.5 kg) pulled off a dramatic victory in the battle for bronze — delivering a three-point reverse flip in the tiebreaking round.

James Ponton gave the Spartans a 4-for-4 showing in the finals, winning his fifth-place match, while all nine OFSAA competitors won at least two matches to aid in an overall 122-point performance.

This gave Drury an unprecedented 12th straight OFSAA team medal — a fitting way to send team founder and cornerstone Larry Jaroslawski into retirement.
