State Tournament Picks

STATES

106  Finals Favorite: Pat Glory, Delbarton vs Shane Metzler, West Morris

Third Place: Jonathan Tropea, St. Joseph (Montvale)

Prediction: I think Glory has been on a hell of a roll and takes it here.

 

113  Finals Favorite: Alec Kelly, St. Peter’s Prep vs Sebastian Rivera, CBA

Third Place: Brandon Cray, Steinert

Prediction: I am going with Kelly here

 

120  Finals Favorite: Nick Suriano, Bergen Catholic vs Ty Agaisse, Delbarton

Third Place: Owen McClave, Toms River South

Prediction: People have been sleeping on Agaisse and I think he wakes them up in this tournament. He will give Suriano all he can handle but come up a little short.

 

126  Finals Favorite: Anthony Cefolo, Hanover Park vs Ryan Pomrinca, North Hunterdon

Third Place: Michael Russo, Jackson Liberty

Prediction: I never bet against Cefolo in Atlantic City.

 

132  Finals Favorite: Craig De La Cruz, Summit vs Nick Farro, Delbarton

Third Place: Sal Profaci, Monroe

Prediction: Farro has been studying tape on all his opponents and should walk away the winner.

 

138  Finals Favorite: Kyle Bierdumpfel, Don Bosco vs Mekhi Lewis, Bound Brook

Third Place: Mark McCormick, Camden Catholic

Prediction: I like Bierdumpfel

 

145  Finals Favorite: Travis Vasquez, Delbarton vs Stephan Glasgow, Bound Brook

Third Place: Ryan Burkert, St. Peter’s Prep

Prediction: Vasquez is my pick to win here.

 

152  Finals Favorite: Joe Tavoso, Delbarton vs Gavin Murray, Cranford

Third Place: Brandon Kui, DePaul

Prediction: Tavoso beat Murray for the Region title and does it again for the State Championship

 

160  Finals Favorite: David McFadden, DePaul vs Max Elling, Phillipsburg

Third Place: Roy Forys, Becton

Prediction: I like Elling here. A week ago he was a favorite and had a bad Region 1 tournament. He still qualified and I think he takes it.

 

170  Finals Favorite: Evan Goodridge, Rahway vs Brett Donner, Wall

Third Place: Joshua Ugalde, Bound Brook

Prediction: Call it a hunch but going with Donner

 

182  Finals Favorite: Dean Sherry, Brick Twp vs CJ LaFragola, St. Joseph

Third Place: DJ Barrett, Lenape Valley

Prediction: LaFragola is my choice

 

195  Finals Favorite: Matt Correnti, Holy Cross vs Tyree Sutton, Keansburg

Third Place: Andrew Massefski, Parsippany

Prediction: I think Correnti takes it but would not be shocked if Massefski knocked him off in the semifinals

 

220  Finals Favorite: Christian Colucci, St. Peter’s Prep vs Chad Freshnock, Middletown North

Third Place: Scott Lavelle, DePaul

Prediction: I am giving the edge to Freshnock

 

285  Finals Favorite: Zack Chakonis, Don Bosco vs Andrew Pacheco, Warren Hills

Third Place: Nick Rivera, Brick Memorial

Prediction: I like Pacheco to give Warren Hills its first state title since 1998
