Valley Sports Report
THE VALLEY — Freshman Tyler Roe stepped into Tioga’s potent wrestling line-up and performed like a seasoned veteran, forging an unbeaten record in the truncated season to earn the 2020-21 Valley Sports Report Male “Newcomer of the Winter.”

In his first varsity season, Roe reeled off a 17-0 record, with 13 pins — including five first-period falls.

Roe picked up wins over both returning Section IV third-place finishers. He pinned Owego’s Matt Laubach, who had finished third in Division II in 2020, in 61 seconds, and forged a 10-0 major decision over Elmira’s Mason Cardinale, who was third in Division I.

Roe was the Valley Sports Report Wrestling “Newcomer of the Year.”
