Head Coach
Scott Pressman - 15th Season (Record: 319-150)
Where They Open
12/17: Dual Meet at Lakewood
With just a few seniors in the room, all of them in the upperweights, this will be a very young lineup for this year's Manalapan squad.
The Braves have some solid talent returning down low with the 1-2 punch of juniors Anthony Vitola and Vincent DePierro. Both wrestlers are 2-time Region Qualifiers, and provide a solid veteran presence for the young group of lowerweights. Also back down low for Manalapan is sophomore Vinny Kain, who showed that he has the potential to be a good piece down low, with some nice wins last season.
Junior Daniel Orsen is the lone starter returning in the middleweights for the Manalapan. Fellow juniors Ethan Brodsky and Michael Quagliano got a few bouts under their belt last season. Sophomores Joe Ellis, Anthony Mucciolo, and Joe Cosentino are among the young group working to get a chance to contribute in the lineup for Manalapan.
Ryan Wosnitzer went 5-1 last season, with 4 of his wins coming via first period fall. He is one of the three seniors on the roster this year for the Braves, along with Seth Scanish and heavyweight Matt Damato. Junior Kenny Wines, is looking to have a breakout year, after starting for Manalapan at 160 last season.
As mentioned, this is a very young team. There will be a heavy focus on improving with each outing, setting themselves up for a strong run in the individual postseason, while also remaining competitive in A-North.
