Shore Stuff

 

The Mustangs have had multiple District medal winners in each of the last three District Tournaments. With just one seed inside the top 3, Sean Bayer (#2 at 106), will need someone to break seed to keep that streak alive. They do have four #4 seeds in Daniel Palagano (113), Matt Falcone (120), Mitchell Oystacher (132), and Alex Jang (144), and 25-bout winner Trevor Perlow, seeded 5th at a deep 215-pound weight class, as top candidates.

 

 

The Bulldogs streak of 5 seasons with a District Champion has produced 14 of their 39 champs in all. It had taken 21 seasons to accumulate the previous 14 champs.

Rumson has never had a 4-time District Champ, sophomore Conor Delaney looks to make it 2 for 2 as he makes a run at it. He'll have to do so out of the #2 seed in a 190-pound bracket where the top-seeded Brian Christie of St Joe's already holds a major decision victory over Delaney. 

Also looking for District Championship #2 will be junior Hudson Skove, who is one of two Bulldogs to earn #1 seeds. Skove enters the tournament with a 29-1 record, with his lone loss coming in the finals of the Beast of the East Tournament, 3-2 in the ultimate tiebreaker round. The other top-seeded Bulldog is freshman Eamon Fry, who is #1 at 106.

In addition to Delaney, Cole Pangborn (138), a runner-up last season, and Walker Skove (132), who placed 3rd last year, received #2 seeds.

 

Weight To Watch

A lot of deep weights, and a lot of talent spread throughout, but I'll go with 157 with 20+ bout winners, headlined by returning State qualifiers at the top 2 seeds. 

Team Title Prediction

St. Joseph's is the pick, as they probably have too many hammers for anyone to overcome, but there are a lot of tough weights here where if a few of those #1's for St. Joe's can get picked off, it could leave the door open for a very deep Old Bridge team.

165: Zargo (St Joseph's)
