West's Andreis Makes
History On The Mat
Eric Andreis walked into (he South Brunswick gym Saturday morn
ing with one thing on his mind?making history.
For this West Brunswick High School senior, four years of sacrifice
and strenuous practice had como down to one battle on the w rest lint'
mat.
Andreis entered the gym a three-time county tournament champion
and wanted something had to exit
as a four-time county champ.
Make that the first four-time coun
ty champ in history.
While everyone else wrestled
Saturday, Andreis waited and
waited and waited. He paced,
stretched out, paced, warmed up,
and finally his number came up.
Number 152. As in 152 pounds.
Andreis was a highly-com
bustible package as he hustled on
to the mat. As he shook hands with opponent Carnell Jones of South
Brunswick. Andreis had the look of a caged animal that knew it was
about to be turned loose.
One niinuic. 4!) scconds later ii was over.
Another pin for Eric Andreis, but not just another pin. lie sprang to
his feet, looked to his teammates and Hashed four fingers. As in four
time county champion.
"I really wanted to win today," Andreis said later. "Nohodv has ever
won four county championships, and I wanted to be the first one to do it."
When you watch him at work, it's hard to believe that Andreis
didn't take up wrestling until his freshman year at West Brunswick. That
was the first year wrestling was offered at the school.
You could say Andreis discovered wrestling hy accident. Coach Joe
Noble needed a 125-pounder. and Andreis fit the bill. In four years,
Andreis has not disappointed.
"I love wrestling. There's nothing like it in the world," he said
Saturday. "I like the one on one. Just you and him on the mat. When the
referee raises your hand, it's just a great feeling."
Andreis likes knowing that winning and losing is entirely in his
hands.
"It's just you and somebody else on the mat. If you lose, it's your
fault and you can't blame it on nobody else. If you win, you earned it
and nobody can take that away from you."
Andreis says most people will never know the energy it takes to
wrestle. A match can last up to six minutes, and there are no time-outs.
"There ain't nothing like six minutes on the mat." he said. "You use
every muscle in your body. You use muscles you never used before. You
use more energy in six minutes on the mat than you use in any other
sport."
But there's more to it than conditioning. A lot more. Conditioning
don't mean beans without wrestling smarts.
"If you don't know what you're doing out there, conditioning won't
help you," Andreis says.
Make no mistake about it. Wrestlers are a breed apart. As John
Madden would say. they're a little goofy. They eat vegetables. They
don't drink Coke or Pepsi.
But in this age of trash-talking on the football field and trash-talking
on the basketball court, wrestling remains a gentleman's sport
Because of the total commitment involved in their craft, wrestlers
have mutual respect tor each other. It's "like a fraternity. I hey are blood
brothers of the mat.
"Everyone who comes out and wrestles has the respect of everyone
else who wrestles," Andreis says. "I don't care if they're t) and 3D or Ml
and I). I have respect for them because they're out there doing it."
