Shore Stuff

 Long Branch - Champs: 150 (Last: 2023) / Streak: 10 Seasons / Team Titles: 14 (Last: 2020)

 

Top 4 Seeds
1st: Daniel Ramirez (144)
2nd: Cristian Cunalata (165) / Tornick Kajaia (175)
3rd: Javier Guzman (138) / Nick Miller (150) / Tyler Taylor (190)
4th: Devon Smith (157) / Justin Sunnerville (Hwt)

The Green Wave's 150 District Champions is 5th most all-time in the Shore Conference. They also have an active streak of 10 straight seasons with a District Champion. There is work to be done to add to those numbers as they find themselves as the lone Shore Conference rep in a District with non-public power St Peter's Prep, the #3 team in the state.

Senior Daniel Ramirez received LB's lone #1 seed, doing so at 144, one of the deeper weights in the tournament. #2 Josh Piparo, a freshman from St Peter's, missed most of the first month of the season to injury. Coming back, his lone loss was a 1-point defeat to SJV's Dezmond Lenaghan, while picking up a win over State Qualifier James Sloan of St Joe's of Montvale. The 3-5 seeds have all won 21+ matches.

Returning State Qualifier, sophomore Tornick Kajaia is seeded #2 at 175, behind undefeated Richard Esterly of Robbinsville, who Kajaia defeated twice last season by major decision. The top seed was important in this weight class as there are 3 returning State Qualifiers at this weight. Esterly and Kajaia both made it to AC last year, as did the #3 seed Anthony Verdi from St. Peter's. Kajaia and Verdi have a common opponent in CBA's Brock Oizerowitz. Oizerowitz defeated Kajaia, 8-2, in the LB's dual against CBA, while Verdi has a pair of decision wins over Oizerowitz. 

Senior Cristian Cunalata, a 3rd-place finisher last season, is Long Branch's other #2 seed. He is on the opposite end of the bracket from #1 Joseph Ruiz of St Peter's, who is ranked #11 in the state by Full Circle.
