Springbrook seeking shot at post-season
Feb. 2 - Entering the final week of the regular season, competition is centered on claiming the fourth and final seed for the Maryland 4A/3A West Region Duals tournament.  At 13-0 with one match remaining, Damascus has all but clinched the No. 1 seed in Montgomery County, with Northwest and Whitman, each 10-2, the likely second and third seeds for the Feb. 8 event.  Predicting the fourth seed is not quite as easy.  Springbrook (10-2), Paint Branch (10-2), and Magruder (9-2) can each finish 12-2, which would force the decision makers into tie-breaker mode.  Post

Wrestling season update
Jan. 18  - As the new wrestling season began in December, coach Rob Wendel took the team to Ocean City for an early-season tournament.  The Blue Devils finished 10th in a 22-team field, but came back from the beach with a shot of confidence. Springbrook then took second place at a December dual-meet tournament at Smithsburg in Washington County, setting the tone for one of its most successful seasons of late.  After soundly defeating Seneca Valley and Watkins Mill in a home tri-meet last Saturday, the Blue Devils are 10-1 on the season, behind only Paint Branch in the county’s Division I standings.   The squad is now looking to make some noise in the postseason tournaments.  Next up is Springbrook's own hometown tournament, Grapple at the Brook, Friday and Saturday Jan. 20-21.  Springbrook will host 15 other schools over the two-day event.  Gazette

2005-06 season preview
Nov. 30 - At Springbrook, the program has nott yet recaptured the glory years of the late 1960s. The Blue Devils have won five county titles, but the last came in 1970. However, last year’s 8-6 mark was a step toward that direction, and many of the veterans from that squad return this season.  ‘‘The strength of our team is in our numbers,” coach Rob Wendel said. ‘‘We have most of our team back from last year.”  That includes senior Joe Klass who was fifth in the state in his weight class last season. Fellow seniors Sergey Golosinsky and Peter Checco -- both of whom placed fifth at the regional tournament -- hope to better that mark this year.  Gazette
