By NJSIAA rules, “any player that leaves the bench area during an altercation, regardless of whether the player engages in the altercation, shall be disqualified,” meaning any wrestler identified in the brawl would be DQ’d for the rest of the season.

Nothing trashier and more pathetic than fighting at a youth sports event. Good riddance.

By NJSIAA rules, “any player that leaves the bench area during an altercation, regardless of whether the player engages in the altercation, shall be disqualified,” meaning any wrestler identified in the brawl would be DQ’d for the rest of the season.

That rule applies to leaving the bench to get involved in an altercation on the playing surface, most typically in basketball and hockey. It also doesn’t necessarily mean he’d be DQ’d for the season. Usually in sports there’s a number of DQ’s you’re allowed on the season as an individual/team before there are postseason penalties.

Additionally at district tournaments, the “bench area” is typically in the bleachers which is where the fight occurred. The fight also spilled onto the mat so there’s really nowhere safe for anyone to go. I’m not sure if Anthony got involved in the brawl but I highly doubt the NJSIAA is going to make him ineligible moving forward unless they find evidence that he participated in the fight. Even then it might be a stretch.

Hell its new jersey, just throw some money at the people in charge, he’ll get to wrestle.

Looks like Anthony Sr. moves up many spots on the all time list of disliked, NJ, wrestling dads.
