2024 Season

After an 0-6 start to the season, the Dragons rallied and ultimately closed the season with six consecutive wins to finish at .500 and avoid their first losing season (non-Covid) since 2019. Freshman Lucas D'Elia led the team in wins with 26, and is the Dragons' first freshman to win 20+ matches since Evan Tallmadge in 2019, and just the 2nd since 2012. 

The Dragons had four medal winners at the District Tournament this season, giving them back-to-back seasons with four or more District medalists for the first time since the 2016 & 2017 seasons.

Head Coach: Matt Opacity (21st Season / Career: 258-149)
A-South / SJG3 / District 22 / Region 6

Where They Open: 12/14 vs Southern Regional
Opening Tournament: Ron Mazzola Memorial at Old Bridge

 

The Green Dragons lost several starters to graduation, including a trio of District medal winners in Ian Mallon, Josh Candelaria, and Anthony Goncalves. As a result, there will be a lot of new faces battling to step into the lineup in 2024.

Brick does have some solid upper class experience returning to help lead the newcomers to the lineup, though. I the middle they have the 1-2 combo of senior Andrew Sherry, and junior Joseph Leskwoski. Sherry led the team in wins last season, and is a 2-time District medal winner. Leskowski went from 2 wins as a freshman, to a 16-match winner, and a District finalist, in his sophomore season.

There's some more veteran experience in the upperweights as well, as seniors Frank Bevacqua and Will Walsh, both entering their 3rd season in the starting lineup, anchor things up top.

Also back for the Dragons is another senior, Travis Trempy. Trempy won 17 matches in 2023, and finished 4th in the Districts at 175, eventually moving on to the Regions as an injury substitute.

With half of the lineup getting turned over to new starters, Brick will rely heavily on their veterans to help provide leadership to the newcomers early on. The Dragons jump right into the frying pan with their schedule, as they host A-South powers Southern on opening night, and Jackson Memorial six days later. Overall, the schedule is pretty tough early, but it should have the team well prepared and well tested for the long haul of the season as they look to continue to improve as the year rolls on.
