2022 Green Dragons

Head Coach
Matt Opacity - 19th Season (Career Record: 235-129)

Where They Open
12/18: IceBreaker Tournament at Old Bridge

 

Brick has been putting some very young lineups on the mat the last couple seasons, and have been putting in the work to improve over that period of time. As a result, 2022 sees them with the potential to have a pretty soild, balanced lineup.

The Dragons will be at their most inexperienced in the 106-120 range. Freshmen Pat Shave and Joe Leskowski are among the candidates to occupy slots down low, and the Dragons could look to junior Chelsea Bautista, one of the Shore's top wrestlers in the girls' division, to chip in at 106. Outside of those weight classes, the Dragons do have experience back, as three starters return in senior Connor Resnow, junior Vin Spampanato, and sophomore Andrew Sherry, who showed a lot of promise in his rookie season last year.

The middleweights look like they could be a strength for Brick. Seniors Brady Rasnow, Dean Canfield, and Sean Zukowitz, and junior Jake DeDreux are all entering their 3rd season as starters. All were double-digit winners in the full season of 2020, and give the Dragons a great stretch in the middle. There's some depth here, as well, as Justus Santiago started at 152 last season, and junior Ian Mallon, who saw time in the lineup as a freshman, returns after missing last year.

Brick returns a lot of experience up top, as well. Senior Efren Flores has appeared in the lineup each year since 2019. Danny Bermudez, another senior, is a 4-year starter. Junior Josh Candelaria and senior Gio Ruiz will be looking to build off the first taste of varsity action gained last year. Junior Anthony Goncalves, who missed last season, returns to the lineup after starting as a freshman at heavyweight in 2020.

The potential is there for the Dragons to put together a pretty good season, as they look to be competitive in A-South, as well as improving throughout the year for some strong postseason runs. As a team, it's going to be important for them to stay healthy, especially down low, where there isn't a lot of depth.
