High School Individual State Championships Thread
- Thread starter MS-RU
- Start date
Hermes won both of his matches by fall in an about a minute each in the district championships.
Wow congrats! Mine as-well be wrestling at Prep Nationals with a kid from South Carolina and Texas going to your school smh. It is one thing to get the top kids in NJ. When you start getting kids from out of state...thats when it gets pathetic.
Ha. I always got a kick out of when JoJo Aragona won a NJ state title while living in Pennsylvania. Not St Joes but same concept.
Hahaha. St Joes montvale ! Who give a toot..
#1 team in the state and 3 into the state finals.
St joes have 10 guys leaving with a medal from AC. Program is on a the rise and creating a problem that will be hard to beat in the years to come. Really young team.
Current Team score Delbarton 175 St Joes 161. A fluke duel meet victory does not mean anything. Best team in the NCAA goes by tournament not duel meet. Enjoy your fantasy
For what it’s worth this isn’t the NCAA and the state did away with team scoring for states. Fluke dual win or not, St Joes was the best non public team in the state this year.
Credit to SJ but Delbarton and SJ could wrestle 100 times and Delbarton would win 99. The Sloan pin, while down 10-0 and locked in a cradle, was a 10 point swing and Vasquez upset was the WTF match of the year - especially considering that Vazquez took out Nini yesterday. Everything that could go wrong for Delbarton, did go wrong, during that match.
Agree entirely but it’s all irrelevant. That’s why you wrestle. Delbarton had their chance to be the best non public in the state and for one reason or another they blew it.
The real question is, is Bergen dead? Without Bell, are they going to slide? At least the other private schools are in the mix now. They're still having tourny, but will it change? Seems like there's been a shift.
The shift was happening before that. Delbarton and St Joes we’re closing the gap steadily the last few years. Even St Peter’s has been pumping out state finalists and champs lately.
True, but now that Bell is gone their gonna slide fast. I know the assistant has been there for a while, but the other programs have a lot of momentum. I remember when Delbarton was awful in the late 90s. They've come a long way.
That super duck against Nini was pretty filthy. I thought he had that match. It's a shame that he couldn't get the takedown
Going off the list MSRU listed earlier
Commits:
Matt Henrich is wrestling for 1st
Jack Zaleski is wrestling for 3rd
Alex Nini is wrestling for 3rd
Targets
Anthony Knox going for 1st
Jayden James going for 3rd
Carson Walsh going for 5th
Alessio Perentin going for 1st
Jordan Chapman going for 3rd
Louis Cerchio going for 1st
Harvey Ludington going for 1st
Vincenzo LaValle going for 3rd
Bell is still going to be involved just not head coach
Zaleski ends his high school career with a 3rd place finish over Collins. Shame he ran into Stanich in the quarters because he’s probably a state finalist if either one are on the opposite side of the bracket.
Nini also takes 3rd
Nini also takes 3rd
Hermes wins his district and should be the top seed in the Ohio state tournament next week as he goes for his 3rd state title
Mullen wrestled not to lose, never shot (which he usually does), just looked for the bear hug to a trip. You feel for Acciardi because he wrestled the better match and just didn’t get it done.
Henrich wins a state championship at 150! Congrats to Matt!
Yup, Tucker Hogan has been on tear in the tournament getting TFs each round thus far and is 40-0 on the season
I can tell you for a fact NJ will not push back. Student representatives requested a longer time off in between winter and spring seasons and athletic directors agreed. As a result, spring sports are starting two weeks later than usual this year and likely beyond.
Pushing up is certainly a possibility as I predict most spring coaches will be complaining that their preseason isn’t long enough with this added break.
Conner Harer in the Finals at 152.
Hopefully he commits (or announces it’s pubically) very soon!
No sure why we are excited about Packer. He is not nationally ranked by Flo. Now if we get Harer it is a different story. Flo has him ranked # 6 nationally.
I’m not sure why we wouldn’t be excited for any one who commits here and wants to wrestle for RU. The coaches obviously see something in him and he could obviously continue to develop over the next few years. Worst case he’s a solid depth guy who surely isn’t receiving a meaningful scholarship allocation which would limit the team. I’ll always support anyone who chooses to represent RU.
