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.
