R.I.P. Coach Denny D'Andrea
Thank you for all that you did for Shore Conference Wrestling.

Coach D'Andrea has been a huge help to me, and this site, for many years. I would talk to him on a regular basis during the season, and while it was tough for him to get around in later years, he was still able to watch the big matches with the live streams and offer his insights. Some of those insights can't be repeated here. When we weren't talking about what was going on today, he'd tell stories from back in the day that could leave you rolling. Most of those can't be repeated here.

Coach loved the sport perhaps more than anyone that I ever encountered, and he loved his wrestlers. Even as recent as a couple of weeks ago, he brought up how terrible he felt for one of his wrestlers who lost a match in Atlantic City on a controversial slam call in which the opponent "took a dive." It was 31 years ago, and it still bothered him.

Coach D was the only head coach in Shore Conference history to lead two different teams to Shore Conference Tournament Championships, winning with Manalapan in 1981 & 1982, and St John Vianney in 2018. In between, he won a dozen more as an assistant at Brick Memorial. He also created and ran the "Brick Memorial Zoo," the largest yearly sub-varsity tournament in the state. I saw a post on Twitter/X stating that the Shore Conference Tournament should be renamed the Denny D'Andrea Shore Conference Tournament. This is something that needs to happen.

I was honored to have Coach D induct me into the JSIWA Hall of Fame in 2017. He was my first, and only choice. Well, Rex Ryan would have been kind of cool too.

Thank you again Coach D for everything you have done for all of us, and for Shore Conference Wrestling. You will be missed terribly. Rest In Peace, and please say hello to my father for me and give him a couple stories.

Week 6 Notes

Barnegat: The Bengals had the rally of the day on Saturday. Down 17 points to Pinelands with 3 bouts to go, the Bengals closed it out with a pin hat trick from Nicolas Santos, Greg Mamola, and Trey DeMeo, to record a 42-41 win over the Wildcats.

Brian Fischer: Wall's win over Monroe on Saturday gave the Crimson Knights' head coach his 200th career win.

Buc Classic: Led by four champions in Christian Reyes (120), Asher Martinez (150), Michael Todisco (157), and Jack Cleary (165), Holmdel finished atop the team points race at this year's Buc Classic. Manasquan (3rd), Red Bank (4th), and Freehold Boro (5th) were top 5 finishers from the Shore, while Lucian Sessa (Red Bank), Kevin Ruland (Red Bank), John Galligan (Red Bank), Cole Torres (Shore Regional), and Shawn Retta (Keansburg) were also individual champions from the Shore Conference.

Colt Classic: 30-29

Escape The Rock: After placing 2nd last season, CBA's Paul Kenny won the 121-pound weight class at this year's Escape The Rock. Kenny was 1 of 9 Shore Conference wrestlers to place Top 8 at the tournament. Lacey's Killian Coluccio (3rd at 107), and Sean Kenny of CBA (4th at 107) and Tanner Hodgins of Howell (4th at 189), placed Top 4.

Garrett Scott: The junior's first varsity win of the season was a huge one, as his pin was part of a huge closing out for the #6 Stangs as they topped #7 Lacey, on the road, 39-20.

Jack Welch Duals: St John Vianney defeated #9 in the state Delsea, on their way to finishing 2nd at the Jack Welch Duals. The Lancers were defeated in the finals by the #1 team in NJ, Delbarton, who is also ranked #5 in the nation. Long Branch had a nice showing at the duals, going 4-1, with their only loss coming to 4th-place Kingsway.

Jake Zaltsman: The senior became the newest member of the SHORE CONFERENCE 100 CAREER WINS CLUB on Saturday.

Pat Brady: Point Boro's win over Manasquan on Tuesday night gave Panthers' head coach Pat Brady his 250th career win.

Top 20 Wins: With their win over North Hunterdon on Saturday, Ocean Township became the 5th Shore Conference team, that was unranked at the time, to defeat a state-ranked opponent in the NJWWA Top 20, joining Brick Memorial, Lacey, Middletown North, and RBC.

TR South: The Indians swept a quad with Hunterdon Central, Hammonton, & Notre Dame on Saturday to improve to 12-0 on the season. They are one of two remaining unbeatens in the Shore along with Middletown North.

Wednesday Walk-Offs: Lost a bit behind Tyler Palumbo's walk-off against St John Vianney, were three other walk-off pins on Wednesday night with Luke Dougherty (Rumson), Dylan Placca (Holmdel), and Gavin Stone (New Egypt) sealing the deal with six in the final bouts.
