Conner was a precious miracle and second son born to Carl and Desiree Hopf of Ellicott City, MD in January 2005. From his first smile, his first cry, even his first breath, he was beautiful. He was diagnosed with Infantile Tay-Sachs Disease in September, 2005 at the age of 7 ½ months. Although Conner and his family attended an event for St. Mark’s in October, 2006 a cure was not in time to save his life! It is with deep regret that little Conner earned his wings on November 26, 2006 at the mere age of 22 months.

Conner’s Way was started in his memory as a way of educating the public on Tay-Sachs and saving other babies & families from tremendous heartbreak. His family will continue to make it their life’s work to rescue others from this devastating disease.

MSJ Wrestlers who have money to send in for your Pins 4 Kids commitment can make checks, payable to "NTSAD" (National Tay-Sachs) and mail to:

Mrs. Desirae Hopf, Conner's Way Foundation, 7746 Rockburn Drive, Ellicott City, MD 21043. A receipt classifying the money as a donation to a bonifide charity will be issued and mailed back to you. Please make sure a good return address is on your check and/or envelope. Coach Salvo will send the money collected at the banquet directly to Mrs. Hopf...and thank you for participating in Pins 4 Kids this year!

Volunteer Coach Randy Bohlman presents gifts and thanks to the Coaches from the MSJ Family...

Go Gaels—Work Hard—Study Hard—Fight—Great Season!

Danny Orem held a four-point lead over Archbishop Curley senior Steve Kain last night when Mount St. Joseph coach Kirk Salvo signaled for him to go for the rout.

The sophomore responded, continually letting Kain to his feet and taking him down en route to scoring seven takedowns in a 17-6 major decision that paced the No. 2 Gaels to a 34-32 Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference dual-meet win over the visiting third-ranked Friars.

When [Salvo] signaled for the optional start, it was time to go for the extra points," said Orem, whose Gaels (8-0, 5-0) won only six of the 14 bouts, but got pins from Frank Goodwin (103), Austin Clouse (112), Will Selba (145), Chris King (152) and Jake Bohn (189). "Making my score more lopsided, that added to our intensity down the stretch."

One of the Gaels' 10 underclassmen, Orem pushed the Gaels' lead to 34-23 with three bouts left. The Friars failed to make up the difference, mustering decisions by top-ranked Mitch Fenton (130), Ali Saadoulaev (135) and Russ Quillett (140), respectively, over underclassmen Benny Shaufele, Kevin Bohlman and Bobby Bowman.

The pins by Will Selba and King gave the Gaels an early 12-0 lead and "set the tone for the rest of the match," Will Selba said. "Coach said we needed a strong start, and I think that's what we gave him."

The Friars (9-1, 2-1) were within 12-11 after Mike Kulik (160) and Joe Foster (171) registered a pin and a 16-1 technical fall, respectively, with Foster scoring 10 near-fall points.

The Gaels pushed their lead to 18-11 after top-ranked Jake Bohn (189) earned his 21st pin of the season by beating fourth-ranked Sam Burdych, but the Friars were within 18-17 after sixth-ranked Josh Boler (215) edged third-ranked Jake Selba, 6-3, and Tony Powell (285) scored an overtime takedown to beat Karl Green, 3-1.

Goodwin and Clouse offset a pin by the Friars' Tyler Scarinzi (119) to give Mount St. Joseph a 30-23 lead.

"I thought after my match and Tony's, everybody was fired up," said Boler, who was coming off an injury to his right knee that forced him to default out of last weekend's Mount Mat Madness Invitational. "But down the stretch, we needed a little bit more and didn't get it."

Go Gaels—Work Hard—Study Hard—Fight—Win!

The 189-pound All-Metro senior pinned his 17th, 18th and 19th opponents to reach the title bout of last weekend's 27-team Mount Mat Madness Invitational at Goucher College. There, Bohn's reversal and two nearfall points in the last four seconds earned a 9-6 victory over Pennsylvania state runner-up Zac Bennett (17-1) of Westmont Hilltop, who is ranked No. 1 in his state at 189.

The win was the 127th in the career of Bohn, a returning National Preps tournament runner-up with a 30-4 record who joined former teammate Mack Lewnes, a four-time All-Metro selection and two-time Wrestler of the Year, as the Mount Mat Madness' only three-time champions.

To win last year's event, Bohn defeated Hammond 2A-1A state champion Steve Sessa and went on to win his second straight Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association and Maryland Independent Schools titles after having been a runner-up in each as a freshman.

Bohn earned All-Baltimore City honors as a football running back-linebacker.

Others considered // Vince Taweel, Hammond, wrestling; Malcolm Delaney, Towson Catholic, basketball; John Von Paris, John Carroll, wrestling.
