2022 Gold Eagles Wrestling

Head Coach
Owen Brennan - 5th Season (Career Record: 44-45)

Where They Open
12/17: Dual Meet at Donovan Catholic

 

Central has lost some key members of the lineup to graduation the last two seasons, and as a result will putting a pretty young lineup on the mat this season.

The Eagles will be very young in the lowerweights, as this stretch looks like it will mostly consist of underclassmen. 

Three of those underclassmen, sophomores Aiden O'Brien, Nicholas Condello, and Keith Swistock, were in the starting lineup this season, and will be looking to take the next step with the experience under their belts. Junior Jake Laskwoski was a the starter at 106 his freshman year, but was limited to just a single bout last year. His return will be a nice boost down low. The Eagles will break in some freshmen down here, including Matthew Denman and Michael Hawkes. 

Senior Jack Condello is the big name returning in the middle for Central. The senior captain is entering his 4th season in the starting lineup, and will be looking to have a big year, while providing leadership in the young room. 

Junior, Cosmo Zaccaro has been a solid presence in the upper portion of the lineup for the Eagles in his first two seasons, and has all the ability to be one of the better big men in the Shore. Central will also be looking for a big season out of senior Chris Siller. A Region Qualifier in 2020, Siller had 36 wins in his first two seasons, but was limited to just three matches in 2021.

This is a young squad, that has a few nice veteran pieces to help the process of developing the youngsters in the room. There are some tough dates on the schedule, including the A-South foes, but the Eagles will be looking to those challenges as opportunities to keep improving as the season rolls, as well as prepare themselves for the future.
