I'll continue to update and edit the OP, but it's hard to analyze much about these results other than a winner and a loser. @wngarbarini could perhaps provide more insight whether or not some of the closer matches are due to the level of the talent in the room is increasing, or the fact these wrestlers really know each other from scrapping every day.

Early results that pop out:
Deluca vs. Santos (Nick Santos lost the Beast of the East to Sammy Sosa, stud recruit, 5-1 a couple years back.)
Pagano vs. Scott (OT)

You can see why Goodale is not in favor of wrestle-offs.

A lot of close scores. Has to be hard wrestling teammates who know your strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, etc on a daily basis.

It looks like this is wrapped up, seeing a there hasn't been an update in a bit.

What pops out to me. (2 things)

1. Agree Deluca vs. Santos, Deluca being a 5th year senior and Santos being a true freshman (walk on).

2. Firestone - taking two losses like that is surprising, especially the one to Dinapoli. staying on 133 that is a nice win for Delvechhio 14-2 over Mackall, like seeing him score points like that.

Still expecting big things from DeLuca this year. I hope it’s because Santos will be very good as well.
Mackall beating Firestone does not surprise me but losing to Dinapoli was concerning.

197 - Grello?

HWT - Normandia over D'Amore by dec., 7-3
HWT Finals - Gross over Normandia, by dec. 2-1

197 would be mulligan not grello right?

 

[13duke st.]

Delevechio scores jump out at me. That s an impressive display to me. Hopefully he carries that offense over to the season

 

[IsItLuck]

197 would be mulligan not grello right?

Yes, messed that up. Thank you.

 

[wngarbarini]

I like Santos a lot. He was working with Suriano the other day and it was a spirited workout. He is getting better and better.

Santos was very good hs wrestler, saw him alot over the years in districts & regions, also was impressive in some PA tournaments.
