Competing at the Capitol Challenge Tournament, Pollock took first place at 215 pounds. Also an All-Central New York and all-state football lineman, Pollock recorded the fastest pin (11 seconds) of the Capitol Challenge.

Jeremy Caley, Phoenix: After finishing as Section 3 runner-up at 189 pounds as a junior, senior Jeremy Caley (22-0) of Phoenix has been chosen sectional Wrestler of the Week. Caley, who compiled a 35-4 record as a junior, led coach Gene Mills' Firebirds to a fourth-place finish at the Liverpool dual meet tournament Saturday by winning his five matches. For his career, Caley is 137-44.

Chris Davis, Mohawk: After avenging one of his two losses of last winter at the Central Square dual meet tournament Saturday, Mohawk sophomore 135-pounder Chris Davis has been chosen Wrestler of the Week in Section 3. Davis, who finished a 37-2 season as a freshman on the varsity last season, had lost to Central Square's Andy Case 6-4 at 125 pounds in a semifinal match of the sectional tourney at the Onondaga County War Memorial.

Saturday, Davis beat Case 13-5 during Mohawk's 51-14 win over the Redmen. The Mohicans went on to win the tournament with a 5-0 record. Davis is the No. 2-ranked wrestler in the section behind Indian River's Joe Jewett at 130 pounds.

Allan Boice, Vernon-Verona-Sherrill: For earning the Most Outstanding Wrestler trophy at the Central New York League tournament last Saturday, 112-pound sophomore Allan Boice of tournament champion Vernon-Verona-Sherrill has been chosen sectional Wrestler of the Week. Boice (26-3) pushed his career-wins total to 119 when he won the title match by technical fall over Mohawk's Alex Marriott. Prior to that match, Marriott had been No. 1 at 112 pounds in the section.

Matt Keib, Fulton: For winning all four of his matches at the Section 3 dual meet tourney Saturday, Fulton's Matt Keib has been chosen sectional Wrestler of the Week. Keib went 4-0 Saturday, including a key 3-2 win over Baldwinsville's highly regarded Gene Lang in the tourney title match.

"Keib hasn't gotten much credit, he's been a real key to our (23-2) season," Conners said. "He's 26-1 overall and he's undefeated against Section 3 wrestlers. His only loss was to last year's Section 4 champion, Sherwood Fendryk of Greene, in an early season tournament."

Joe Jewett, Indian River: Fresh from winning his fourth straight Frontier League title, Indian River senior Joe Jewett (32-1, 172-16 career record) has been selected sectional Wrestler of the Week. Jewett, a three-time Section 3 champion, edged Lowville sophomore Taylor Malone 2-0 for first place at 125 pounds at the meet Saturday. At the upcoming sectionals, Jewett will likely seek the 125-pound crown, said Indian River coach Jamie Call.

In past winters, Jewett won sectional titles at 96 pounds (1999), at 103 (2000) and at 112 (2001). At the state tournament, Jewett's best finishes were a pair of third places the last two seasons. He could be Section 3's first state champion since 1998. The state finals are at the Onondaga County War Memorial March 1-2.
