Carthage Big Win Collects 100th Win One Weekend; Knocks Off State Champ the Next

Name:
Kamdyn Dorchester

School:
Carthage-3

Current Rank:
DI #2 @ 285  pounds

Past Credentials:
-Current #37 overall in-state prospect on 2025 Big Big Board
-2024 NYSPHSAA DI 5th at 285
-2x Section III medalist/Defending Champion (3rd in '23)

Rationale:
Closed out 2024 by reaching the 100th-win milestone at the Teike-Bernabi; Picked up right where he left off in 2025 when he took down a State Champion en route to the hardware at the Ross Cordell!

Description:
Unlike Halley who only shows up every 75-80 years; Dorchester is a Comet who has made his presence known on a weekly basis!!

Entering his swan song campaign for Carthage as a returning NYSPHSAA Di State 5th; the big man out of Section III has resembled nothing but a genuine title contender at every stage of the 2024-2025 season thus far!!

His resume remaining unblemished during the two-week Holiday festivities; Dorchester registered a pair of milestone/highlight moments during respective tournament triumphs at the Teike-Bernabi and the Ross Cordell Rotary!! 

At the former in late-December [Teike-Bernabi), he'd notched his 100th career varsity victory behind a 6-0 vitae that concluded with a 9-0 major decision dub in the finals over JD-CBA's    Mykola Fabian!

This past weekend, he kicked off 2025 on the right foot; as Dorchester banked marquee victories in back-to-back appearances down the homestretch to hoist hardware at the Cordell...

In the semifinals, he'd pitch a 1-0 shutout against DII #4 ranked/returning NYSPHSAA State 4th, Landon Andrade (Sherburne-Earlville)...

His finals effort was even more grand as he'd emerge as a 8-3 victor over the current small school top-billed man/Defending DII State titlist, Troy Beeman (Waverly)!
