There will be no individual tournament for NJ wrestlers this winter; first time since 1934

That's absolutely ridiculous at this point in time. We are literally 5 months away.

I would imagine we are going to be seeing some unsanctioned/club events taking place this winter.

Really sucks for these kids. Olivieri, Soldano could have been 3-time champs. For other kids, this could be their only shot. Terrible.
 
Find a way. This is ridiculous. Shows the really don’t care about the youth and the mental impact on these kids. The big thing that these knob heads continue to discount is how much of a mental toll this is taking on the youth of America.

Agreed. My son is a high school junior and he plays ice hockey, not wrestling. He is a different kid when he is able to attend his travel practices and games, as well as the varsity high school team. All the parents say the same thing - getting the sport back into their lives balances them out. Aside from just the physical exercise, he has social interaction, competition, mental processing, etc. We had a tournament this weekend and it was a noticeable return to normalcy for all the players.
 
Don't be shocked if the season is cancelled or moved to the spring.Heard the majority of the refs dont want to ref this winter

Unless something significantly changes with the numbers state wide, there’s no way they outright cancel. I don’t even think a postponement is likely. The NJSIAA doesn’t want to postpone sports to a different calendar season for a number of reasons. Gym space is already going to be at a premium in early March with gymnastics now competing with baseball (assuming cold weather to start), softball, boys/girls lacrosse, and boys/girls volleyball.

If they postpone wrestling it probably means the postponement of boys/girls basketball as well. There’s simply not enough time and space for all these sports to coexist simultaneously, not to mention the decrease in numbers due to multi sport athletes.

Time will tell.Hope they wrestle and get a state tournament.IL moved Wrestling from April to June.Most IL schools graduate the last weekend of May and wrestling isn't supposed to end until June 26.Makes no sense to me so nothing will surprise me

politicians should be tarred and feathered......pelosi's husband had his huge investment get millions of bucks in the little peoples bail out...not to be partison so did macturtles wifes company get millions also....r crooks, and d crooks......same old, same old......do you think their will be a wrestling season?..........of course not....the ivies just canceled the season......hoops will be next............is a covid vaccine a cure?

If we stopped keeping score in wrestling matches we’d never lose again

A shame that Jimmy Mullen of St Joes won't have the opportunity to be NJ's first 4x heavyweight State Champ. Mullen received a Rutgers Football offer from Greg Schiano last spring.
