The Archbishop Spalding 145-pounder wrapped up another weekend of unwavering dominance by taking down a two-time state champion, easing through the eight-match tournament with seven pins and earning the Outstanding Wrestler award.
Then there was Archbishop Spalding's team championship - its first at the 3-year-old tournament.
"This was a good tournament for me and the whole team," said Lynch, who wrestled beyond the first period just once - during his 6-5, four-overtime victory over Old Mill's Ron Vaughters.
The rest of the Cavaliers (18-0) followed his lead.
Spalding handed Pennsylvania powerhouse Methacton a 45-22 loss in the final to earn its fifth title in six tournaments, including back-to-back dual championships.
"It's just a confidence-builder," said 130-pounder Cole Graves, who ignited the Cavaliers' comeback in the final with a second-period pin of Eric Mitchell. "Going back to the Battlefield Duals, it was the same thing - us dominating everyone."
Lynch, Will Switzer, Mike Still, K.K. Smith and Logan Breitenbach moved through the tournament unbeaten - combining to score bonus points in all but two of their 31 collective matches - as Archbishop Spalding outscored its opposition, 388-129.
The Cavaliers overcame a pair of forfeits at the beginning of the final and recovered from an 18-6 deficit to win eight of the last nine matches and end on a 27-4 run.
"You've got to hand it to these kids," Methactoncoach A.J. Madia said. "They wrestled eight duals, and they didn't stop. They've got some hammers in there."
Vaughters lost only that decision to Lynch and went 5-1 with four pins and a technical fall. Salaman Riddell - who dropped an overtime decision to Switzer during Old Mill's 58-6 loss to Archbishop Spalding - ended his 5-1 stay with a 10-second flattening of River Hill's Donovan DeLore for the fastest fall.
Arundel's Tyler Goodwin was close with an 11-second stick, and he wrestled into the second period only twice, but pinned all six of his opponents - including Cavaliers 135-pounder Brady Gaynor, who went 5-1. Justin Goodwin also went 5-1, as did Logan Reece and Evan Willis.
Kent Island's Shane Smith scored decisions over Reece and Archbishop Spalding's Cole Gallagher and teammate Kyle Thomas was unbeaten in seven matches at 160.
Matt Linehan was 6-1 for Annapolis Area Christian School, which went 1-7, and AACS's Jake Miller was 6-2. Broadneck wrestled into the championship bracket behind Collin Harrell's 5-2 mark
But the tournament belonged to the Cavaliers.
No team scored more than 22 points against them, and they held Old Mill and Stone Bridge (Va.) to six, while 17 of their 19 wrestlers won matches.
"We've never beaten Old Mill before," Lynch said. "The win over Methacton - and every win for our team - was pretty commanding, so that's good for our team. Our guys got to really work on their stuff. Guys who weren't used to winning came out here and brawled, and they looked good."
Methacton (9-2) provided a slight scare, though.
After Mike Still cut the deficit in half on a first-period pin of Joe Savella, Rob D'Annunzio completed a 6-0 tournament with an 8-4 decision over Gallagher, last year's Maryland Independent States 112-pound champion. Then Brett Duvernois made it 18-6 with a 4-2 mark on Matt Pente.
Breitenbach rode out much of the final two periods against Joe Stanley to counter with a 4-2 decision before Graves started the string of bonus points when he denied three turns from Mitchell for the stick.
"It helps a ton," said Gaynor, who followed with a 17-2 technical fall on Danny DaMatto to give Archbishop Spalding a 20-18 lead. "Every match we won, it just builds momentum, and we needed it after we gave up 12 points."
The Cavaliers never let go.
Switzer followed with an 18-3 technical fall on David Qawasmy - getting the final takedown right before the third period expired - and Lynch needed only 55 seconds to erase Jordan Weinberg to make it 31-18.
Pat Carr's 15-3 major decision over Connor Lane gave the Warriors some hope, but Colin McHale eked out a 4-3 win against Stephen Rupp at 160 before Zack Abey and K.K. Smith closed Archbishop Spalding's title run with back-to-back pins.
"We need to stay humble," Graves said. "We don't want to be the team "Spalding 2010-2011 upset. Our coaches tell us in every practice that we have to keep the pace and rise to every occasion."
Methacton finished 7-1 and allowed two more points to the Cavaliers than it did during a 4-0 stretch of pool play on Friday. The Warriors posted a 424-117 edge on their opponents - averaging a winning margin of 38.4 more per match
"It's definitely a different feel when you go to a different state," said Carr (18-2), who went 8-0. "I feel like we brought Pennsylvania wrestling to Maryland and really showed them what Pennsylvania wrestling is all about and how tough we are."
