106 Finals Favorite: Ty Agaisse, Delbarton vs Requir van der Merwe, Mountain Lakes
Third Place: Dylan Allison, Morristown
Prediction: I think Agaisse wins He has been a consistent contributor for his team all season and that should continue this weekend.
ALLISON LOST SO I AM 2 OUT OF 3 HERE. KOVACS IS THE CHOICE FOR 3RD NOW.
113 Finals Favorite: Nick Farro, Delbarton vs Austin Nash, Hanover Park
Third Place: Matt Mastrobuono, Whippany Park
Prediction: This will be a hard fought finale and could easily go into UTB. While I think Farro will be tough, Nash has been a hair better lately. I give the slightest of edges to him here.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
120 Finals Favorite: Anthony Cefolo, Hanover Park vs Christian Innarella, Delbarton
Third Place: Robert Fornini, Parsippany Hills
Prediction: This is a no-brainer on who reaches the finals. We should see a Morris County Tournament rematch here between Cefolo, State Champion at 106 last year and Innarella, 6th at 113 a year ago. I think Cefolo squeaks by here but the slimmest of margins. I still think both make the state tournament and are on the medal stand come Sunday.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
126 Finals Favorite: Gennaro Cuccolo, Hanover Park vs Sam Kovacs, Parsippany
Third Place: Matt Davis, Delbarton
Prediction: Cuccolo should win this match. He has beaten Kovacs twice already this season, a 3-2 decision for his 100th career victory on Jan. 18th and 4-3 in the MCT final.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
132 Finals Favorite: Nick Anderson, Delbarton vs Joe Zecca, Hanover Park
Third Place: Christian Signorelli, Parsippany Hills
Prediction: Anderson gets the win here. He is a reigning state medalist and takedown machine. He is too much for Zecca to handle.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
138 Finals Favorite: Travis Vasquez, Delbarton vs Christian Bassolino, Hanover Park
Third Place: Davin Tranfield, Morristown
Prediction: This is a toss-up. I think both wrestlers match up evenly but I will give Vasquez the edge here.
TRANFIELD LOST 5-3 IN TIEBREAKER. I THINK BOTA IS NOW THE CHOICE FOR THIRD
145 Finals Favorite: Dan Reed, Delbarton vs Anthony Oliveri, Hanover Park
Third Place: Michael Persaud, Parsippany
Prediction: Again another open weight class. I am giving Reed the edge as a county champion. One thing I was always told when I got into covering high school sports; Dont pick against a champion.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
152 Finals Favorite: Anthony Bassolino, Hanover Park vs Sam Mual, Parsippany Hills
Third Place: Nicholas Serafini, Whippany Park
Prediction: Bassolino has been impressive since the Morris County Tournament and after suffering a 1-0 loss to Bound Brook's Joshua Ugalde in the Group 1 finals, he looks to and should rebound in the Districts.
MAUL LOST 5-4. DELBARTON'S JOSEPH TAVOSO MAKES THE FINAL AND JUSTIN CONTRERAS (MORRISTOWN) IS THIRD
160 Finals Favorite: Josef Johnson, Delbarton vs Steven Stringas, Parsippany Hills
Third Place: Ryan Paff, Hanover Park
Prediction: Johnson is too strong at this weight. He should win the District Title in relatively quick fashion.
PAFF LOST BY PIN 5:10. MOUNTAIN LAKES' MAX-DANIEL SOKOLLEK SHOULD TAKE THIRD NOW.
170 Finals Favorite: Michael Weiss, Parsippany Hills vs Andrew Massefski, Parsippany
Third Place: Oziegbe Uhunmwangho, Weequahic
Prediction: Both have split the two previous matchups this year as 1-1. Weiss took the most recent one 7-2 in the MCT semifinals and I look for him to get the win here as well.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
182 Finals Favorite: Nicholas Pizzuta, Parsippany vs Steven Webb, Whippany Park
Third Place: James McGinley, Parsippany Hills
Prediction: This was a one point match, 6-5 the last time the two met on Jan. 31. I think Webb gets his revenge and wins the District championship
ALL THREE STILL IN IT BUT A BRACKET CHANGE PUTS WEBB IN THE SAME SIDE AS PIZZUTA. MORRISTOWN'S CHARLES SANDERSON WILL BE THE OTHER FINALIST
195 Finals Favorite: Nicholas D`Uva, Parsippany Hills vs Matt Valazquez, Parsippany
Third Place: Alexis Villegas, Morristown
Prediction: D'Uva moves on to Region 3 as the champion.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
220 Finals Favorite: Steven Hill, Parsippany Hills vs James Grogan, Delbarton
Third Place: Freddy Ruiz, Morristown
Prediction: I have Hill as the winner here. He seems to be a step above the rest of the 220 weight class.
ALL THREE STILL IN IT
285 Finals Favorite: Nick LaShell, Hanover Park vs Adrian Macko Parsippany Hills,
Third Place: Salaam Jones, Weequahic
A BRACKET CHANGE PUTS JONES ON THE SAME SIDE AS MACKO AND HE WAS PINNED AT 2:51. FARDEEN YUNUS OF MORRISTOWN WILL FINISH THIRD.
