3/4: NJSIAA STATE TOURNAMENT
Wall (0 Medal Winners)
The season ended for Wall on Friday night in Atlantic City, where their trio of representatives came up just short of earning State medals. Junior Donovan DiStefano and senior Kei'sun Sanders were each defeated in Friday evening's Blood Round, leaving them one win shy of a State medal, while sophomore Michael DiBiase was eliminated in the 3rd round of wrestlebacks.

Both DiStefano and DiBiase return for the Knights in 2024, but it brings an end to Sanders' run with the Knights. In three seasons on the mat for Wall, Sanders accumulated 62 wins, was a 2-time District medalist, including a 1st-place medal this season, and was a Region medal winner.

2/25: REGION 6
Wall (2 Champions / 3 Medal Winners)
Junior Donovan DiStefano won his 2nd Region Title, becoming the Knight's 3rd multi-time champion since 2015, and their 5th overall. Sophomore Michael DiBiase won the 106-pound weight class, giving the Knight's multiple champs for the fifth time in eight seasons. The two titles gives Wall 31 all-time, and moves them into 9th place on the Shore Conference list, and keeps them 4th in Monmouth County. The Knights had one more finalist, they've had at least one in every Region tournament since 2014, in heavyweight Kei'sun Sanders. The three medals makes it 11 years in a row with multiple Region medalists.
