Epperly loses to Szuba once again 11-8 and falls into the consolation bracket.
Yes though Clark’s matches are getting a little close for comfort. Everyon else is handling their business
HWT bracket went crazy in the quarterfinals, so these are the seeds for the semi-finals match-ups:
#8 vs #13 and #14 vs. #7
#1 and previously undefeated Bardhyl Gashi (West Essex) lost to the #8 seed Justin Wright (Howell) and he will face #13 Jim Mullen (St Joes) who is a freshman and someone who will certainly be on RU's radar.
#14 Hector Lebron (Dwight Morrow) beat the #3 and #6 seeds to make it to the semi-final and will face #7 JT Cornelius (Southern) who beat #2 Marcus Estevez (Franklin)
Crazy day for sure in this bracket.

Clark will face his ex-teammate Gabe Onorato (Paulsboro) again in the semi-finals. He beat Onorato 7-0 in the Region 7 finals last week.
My wife is good friends with Gabe's mother they went to high school together. It's good to see Gabe wrestling so well after coming back from his injury. He's headed to Drexel.
Like Kyonte Halmilton, Jim Mullen is already on Schiano's radar for football. He was St Joes first ever true freshman to start on the D line.
“He’s coming in as a national champion wrestler,” Hoffmann said of Mullen, who can line up at both tackle and end. “I don’t think he’s lost in two years. He decided to come here and he’s been almost unblockable in preseason and I think a lot of it has to do with his wrestling background. ... This kid is special.”
With Billy Smith being his head coach he's got to be hearing Rutgers, Rutgers, Rutgers. This kid looks like one of those special ones.
if a kid didn’t go to the private school and ended up staying in town, wouldn’t he lock up a starting spot for a few years ? If he leaves, some kid gets a chance to play/wrestle as a starter when he otherwise would not have
Pretty sure. Weaver hit a reversal and then got really high. Boggiano stood up on all fours and Weaver got stuck. I don’t believe a reversal to Boggiano was awarded so defensive pin seemed to be what happened. I didn’t have my audio on.
O’Neil wins and then daps it up with Poznanski who just took the mat. That was kind of cool.
Poz is the most dominant wrestler in the state and there’s not a close 2nd.
He was up like 13-5 or something and his opponent seemed to willingly get pinned. 2nd period pin.
So we have 4 in the finals and 2 that can still finish 3rd and not lower than 6. Not bad going into the final rounds.
Poz really is on another level compared to the rest of the guys in his weight. Looks college ready.
