BUTLER TWP — An iconic senior day, to be sure.

Butler 160-pound senior wrestler Steven Green recorded his 100th career victory Saturday in the high school gym, scoring an 18-3 technical fall against Bethel Park's Anthony Zaborowski.

He followed that up with a 3-2 decision of Indiana's Jack Turner, scoring an escape with a minute remaining to decide that match. Turner took a 10-1 record into that bout.

Green is 14-2 on the season. His career record is 101-37. He became the 10th Butler wrestler to secure 100 wins.

“It all came together perfectly,” Green said. “To get the 100th on Senior Day and to do it in our high school gym, where we rarely get to wrestle ... I'll always remember this.”

Butler (15-2) won both duals, defeating Bethel Park, 55-17, and Indiana, 55-9.

But this day was about the seniors.

“I'm just thankful to have the opportunity to wrestle this year,” Green said. “Everything's been so crazy. We just took one day at a time. We're still doing that.

“I learned a long time ago not to worry about things that are out of my control.”

Nick Schaukowitsch, Clayton Dressler, Nate McMaster and Green have combined to start for 15 years at the varsity level, tallying 327 wins in the process.

Helana Graham, a senior statistician-manager with the team for three years, was recognized as well.

“We've never had a senior class contribute to the varsity for as long as these guys have,” Butler coach Scott Stoner said. “This is a special group, to be sure.”

All four picked up two wins on Saturday. Schaukowitsch (64-26 in his career) recorded a pin in 20 seconds. McMaster (90-46) won by pinfall and technical fall. Dressler (72-49) won by pinfall and major decision.

Only McMaster plans to wrestle in college. He will attend Butler County Community College for a year before pursuing a wrestling career at Waynesburg University.

McMaster needs 10 wins to reach the 100-mark. Butler wrestles in the sub-section tourney Thursday at Seneca Valley with the host Raiders, West Allegheny, New Castle, Moon and Beaver. The top two placers in each weight class advance to the section finals Saturday at North Allegheny.

“It may come down to the wire for Nate,” Stoner said of his quest to reach 100. “It's going to be close.

“He and Steven have different backgrounds. We pulled Nate out of gym class in seventh grade. Steven came up through our elementary program.”

McMaster said of 100 wns: “If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.”

He's happy, regardless.

“I'm going to have more than 90 wins and I'm proud of that,” he said. “I'm grateful for the time we've gotten on the mat this year.

“Steven is my practice partner in the room. I'm so happy for him. He's such a hard worker, so driven. No one deserves this (100 wins) more than him.”
