2022 Blue Devils Wrestling

Head Coach
Dave Porta - 13th Season (Career Record: 193-119)

Milestone Watch
Head Coach Dave Porta is 7 dual wins away from 200 career coaching victories

Gabe Scalise needs 32 wins to reach 100 for his career.

Where They Open
12/17: Dual Meet at Long Branch

 

The Blue Devils lost five solid seniors to graduation, including two of the program's all-time best in Jack Maida and Mike McGhee. They still have a pretty good amount of experience returning, and some strong seniors looking to lead the way as Shore Regional looks to continue the program's winning ways.

Down low, Shore has the Scalise brothers, Gabe and Antonio, returning. Gabe, a senior, enters his 4th year in the starting lineup. A 2-time Region Qualifier, he enters his final year with his sights set on a deep postseason run into Atlantic City. He also enters the season with 68 career wins, making him one of the handful of wrestlers in the Shore Conference with a shot at hitting 100 career victories this season. Antonio, a sophomore, wrestled up at 132/138 last season, and could be poised for a big year down at 120. Junior Danny Bonner, a returning starter, will also look to provide some stability down low, as the Blue Devils break in some new faces into the lowerweights. Among the new faces is junior Hunter Katz, who has missed his first two seasons due to injury, and will be looking to make up for lost time.

In the middle, Jake Herschenfeld, a senior, gives the Blue Devils a good veteran presence. Herschenfeld has been in the lineup since his freshman season, and was a 21-bout winner in 2020. Sophomore Caleb Rushin and senior Liam Rosa also have some varsity experience, and will be looking to make strong contributions with expanded roles in the lineup. There should be plenty of new faces in this stretch as well, including junior Ty Koch, who is another wrestler with youth level experience, but has not wrestled the last two seasons. 

The upperweights are led by senior Jamie Mazzacco. Mazzacco, a standout running back for Shore's football team, had a terrific freshman season in 2019, winning 30 bouts and placing 2nd at Districts. An injury cost him his sophomore season, and he had a nice comeback during last year's shortened season. He'll be looking to cap his career as a hammer up top in the dual lineup, and with a focus on a long postseason run. Shore has some other good experience returning up top with senior Layne Raposo, who in addition to starting last season, got 17 bouts in during the 2020 season. 

Like their divisional rivals, Pt Beach, Shore Regional has traditionally done a terrific job for a Group 1 school at keeping the program numbers up, and replacing starters lost to graduation. While replacing wrestlers like Maida and McGhee certainly is not easy, the Blue Devils look to do that with some quality experience returning, and some newcomers who are no strangers to the mat. The date to circle on the regular season schedule is January 27th. Since 2007, it has been either the Blue Devils, or Beach, as the champs in B-Central. Both teams look like they'll be the ones to beat in that race again, so 1/27 in West Long Branch should be a big night.
