For Rian Shubeck, it wasn't a matter of if, but rather a question of when.

A talented wrestler that has always had high expectations of himself perhaps higher than anyone else Shubeck will gladly tell you that he wants to be among the best in Panther Valley's storied history.The senior took another step towards achieving that goal when he notched his 100th career win during the Coal Cracker Round Robin Tournament, which was held recently at Panther Valley.Shubeck didn't make his family and friends in attendance wait, hitting the landmark win total by pinning Archbishop Wood's Frank Raddi in the first period of his opening bout of the tournament."It's definitely a nice milestone to have," said Shubeck. "And getting it at a home tournament, where so many people could be there, made it even better. It was a great feeling."While certainly a great accomplishment for Shubeck, the feat was no less significant for Panther Valley coach Tim Robb, who takes great satisfaction in seeing his athletes succeed."It's important to me for all of these guys to set and reach their goals, and one of Rian's was 100 wins," said Robb. "But he told me three years ago that 100 wins was just going to happen, it really wasn't one of his goals. Winning a state medal is his goal."Shubeck made it to Hershey last year as a PIAA state qualifier, along with teammates Lenny Ogozalek and Richard Nase.Nase was the only one of the trio to return with some hardware, something that drives Shubeck to not only get back to Hershey, but to also top Nase's eight-place finish a year ago."I really want to beat what Rich did last season," Shubeck noted. "And I want to try to get as many of Lenny's records as I can."Though Ogozalek is second on the school's all-time wins list, Shubeck's credentials are no less impressive. Currently sporting a career mark of 106-33, Shubeck already holds Panther Valley's record for falls with 56.After injuries led to a slow start to the season, Shubeck returned in time for the Schuylkill League Tournament, where he earned his second straight silver medal.Since his loss to Blue Mountain's Erech Noecker in the Schuylkill League final, Shubeck has won his last 12 matches, eight by fall."He is very focused right now and he is very healthy right now," said Robb. "We took some early precautions so that he wasn't re-injuring himself, and it seems to have paid off."But Shubeck is about more than just individual accolades.Yes, that state medal is on his mind, especially with the district tournament coming up at the end of this week. But Shubeck wants others to experience the success he has, and show those around him that hard work can make anything happen."I want to set an example for the younger kids," he said. "I want to show them what they can do that they can get to 100 wins; they can get to states."That trickle-down effect is something Robb has seen in recent years, and certainly one he hopes continues well into the future."I think success breeds success," he said. "Nick O'Donnell started the ball rolling a few years ago. He put the work in and got better, and he passed it on to kids like Lenny (Ogozalek), who took the torch from Nick and sprinted with it."Now, I think we have a whole new group of kids coming through that have high goals and expectations. Guys like Rian, Hunter Davidyock and Darren Goida are passing it on this year, and it's great for the program."Regardless of what happens over the final few weeks of the season, Shubeck is already one of the most decorated wrestlers in Panther Valley history.But for now, all that matters is what takes place during the postseason, something Shubeck has already shown he's more than ready for."Everyone expects me to do well and I don't want to disappoint them," he said. "I'm just hoping for the best, and we'll see what happens."This is what I've been working for."
