Top 3 Seeds
2nd: Raymere Mahadeo (215)
3rd: Nicholas Speer (113) / Bryan Agular (165) / Cuinn Pascavage (Hwt)

The Bengals have had a District medal winner every year since their 2nd season in 2008. They've had multiple medal winners in 4 of the last 5 District tournaments. If the seeds hold, both streaks will extend.

Senior Raymere Mahadeo is the Bengals' highest seed, getting the #2 at 215. Mahadeo led the team in wins with 26.

 

 

Top 3 Seeds
3rd: Mason Lugo (106) / Nicholas Condello (138) / Nicolas Straniero (144) / Joseph Dunne (157)

The Eagles have had multiple medal winners in each of the last three Districts. They have 4 wrestlers seeded 3rd, so things are set up to at least continue that streak. Sophomore Mason Lugo is one of those four #3 seeds, and is looking for his 2nd medal after placing 3rd at 106 last year.

 

 

Top 3 Seeds
1st: Brendan Schuler (113) / Aidan Flynn (120) / Matt Gauthier (150)
2nd: Kyle Leonard (144) / Jake Mott (175) / Brody Sager (Hwt)

The Lions extended their streak to 17 seasons with multiple District medal winners last season, but were kept off the top of the podium despite having 4 #1 seeds. This year they have a trio of wrestlers that received #1 seeds in senior Matt Gauthier, junior Brendan Schuler, and sophomore Aidan Flynn. Both Gauthier, who has finished 5th at Regions in each of the last two seasons, and Flynn are 2-time District finalists. Flynn finished 3rd last season.

 

 

Top 3 Seeds
1st: Dante Mortellite (190)
2nd: Austin Mitrosky (132)

The Hawks have had multiple medal winners in each of the last 4 Districts, and will look to continue that streak behind #1 seed Dante Mortellite and #2 seed Austin Mitrosky. Last season, both wrestlers finished in 3rd place at Districts, with Mortellite going on to finish just one win short of a trip to Atlantic City, placing 5th at Regions. Both wrestlers took 5th at this year's Shore Conference Tournament, giving the Hawks multiple medal winners at the SCT for the first time in program history.

 

 

Top 3 Seeds
2nd: Jacob Greenberg (165)
 

Jacob Greenberg received the lone Top 3 seed for the Wildcats, getting the #2 at 165. The junior, who was 14-5 on the season, finished 4th at Districts in 2022. 

 

 

 Top 3 Seeds
1st: Anthony Mason (106) / Attila Vigilante (126) / Bryce Manera (132) / Scottie Sari (138) / Wyatt Stout (144) / Matt Henrich (157) / Hayden Hochstrasser (165) / Mitch Bivona (175) /  Collin French (215)
2nd: Cash McVey (113) / Tyler Chase (150)
3rd: Jacob Chambers (120) / Bradford Birch (190)

The Rams set a Shore Conference record last season with 11 District Champions. It upped their overall total to 142, which is 6th most in Shore Conference history, extended their streak to 26 consecutive seasons with at least one champion, and gave them their 24th District Team Title, 3rd most in Shore Conference history.

Southern enters this year's tournament with 13 of their 14 wrestlers seeded in the Top 3, including 9 #1 seeds. Among those #1 seeds are returning State Champion Matt Henrich, and returning State Medalists Wyatt Stout and Hayden Hochstrasser, who will all be going for their 3rd District Titles. 

There are a trio of #1 seeds who will be looking for their 2nd titles in Anthony Mason, Mitch Bivona, & Collin French

 

 

 

Top 3 Seeds
1st: James Lynch (Hwt)
2nd: Richie DeLorenzo (106) / Jaton Wellington (126) / Terrence Thomas (190)
 

The Raiders had their streak of six seasons with a District Champion snapped last season, but with undefeated heavyweight at the #1 seed, they have a pretty good shot at getting back to the podium. Lynch, a 2-time runner-up, punched a ticket to AC last season after finishing 2nd at Regions. He was the Shore Conference Tournament Champion at heavyweight this year.

Freshman 106-pounder last took the mat on January 20th, but is back for the postseason and seeded 2nd for the Raiders along with 2-time District Finalist Jaton Wellington, and junior Terrence Thomas.

 

 

Top 3 Seeds
2nd: Joe Dolci (138)
3rd: Justin Cauldwell (132) / Matt Stankowitz (150) / Cole Ganska

The Mariners have a string of 10 straight seasons on the line, and for them to continue it, someone will have to break seed. 

Senior Joe Dolci is North's highest seed. Dolci, the Shore Conference Tournament Champion at 138 this year, is a 2-time District Champion and 2-time State Qualifier. He is seeded at #2 behind top-seeded Scottie Sari of Southern on the strength of Sari's 3-0 win in the Mariners' dual against the Rams.

The Mariners' three #3 seeds, Justin Cauldwell, Matt Stankowitz, and Cole Ganska, are all looking for their first District medals.

 

 

Top 3 Seeds
2nd: Owen Beneciuk (120) / Caden Langan (157)
3rd: Carson Cheong (126) / Mike Devivi (175)

Junior Caden Langan, a 2-time medal winner, and sophomore Owen Beneciuk are the Indians' two highest seeds, each getting #2's. Langan, who took 3rd at the Shore Conference Tournament, is in the bottom half of the bracket across from returning State Champion Matt Henrich of Southern. If South can get multiple wrestlers into the finals, it will mark the 15th time in 17 Districts where South has multiple finalists.
