Morris County Tournament Prediction. How did I do?

106  Finals Favorite: Ty Agaisse, Delbarton vs Troy Stanich, Roxbury

Third Place: Garrett O'Shea, Morris Knolls

Prediction: I think Agaisse rolls to the title. He is undefeated and took the Beast of the East crown earlier this season. He is a favorite to win the state title at 106 this year.

ALL THREE RIGHT WITH O'SHEA LOSING TO AGAISSE IN A FINALS REMATCH 

 

113  Finals Favorite: Valentine Miele, Delbarton vs Zach Kovacs, Parsippany

Third Place: Daniel Percelay, Morris Knolls

Prediction: This will be a hard fought finale and could easily go into UTB. While I think Miele will be tough, Kovacs been a hair better lately. I give the slightest of edges to him here.

ONLY GOT ONE RIGHT HERE IN ZACH KOVACS AS A FINALIST. IF ANYONE SAYS THEY HAD MARK BOHN MAKING A RUN TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP THEY ARE A BOLD FACE LIAR. GREAT RUN BY AN UNDER THE RADAR KID.

 

120  Finals Favorite: Anthony Cefolo, Hanover Park vs AJ Vindici, Randolph

Third Place: Nick Farro, Delbarton

Prediction: This could be a matchup of former medal winners. Cefolo, state champion at 106 two years ago and Vindici, who finished 7th at 106 and 3rd at 113 respectively, should meet in the finals. 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.

GOT TOP THREE RIGHT BUT FARRO MADE THE FINAL. CORRECT CHAMPION AS WELL. 

 

126  Finals Favorite: Bryan Damon, Jefferson vs Austin Nash, Hanover Park

Third Place: Dylan Luciano, West Morris

Prediction: Damon should win this match. He is a favorite to medal in the state tournament again this year but Nash will give him a fight until the final buzzer.

GOT THE FINAL AND CHAMPION CORRECT

 

132  Finals Favorite: Christian Innarella, Delbarton vs Christian Bassolino, Hanover Park

Third Place: Mike Kaspar, Whippany Park

Prediction: Innarella gets the win here. He is a reigning state medalist and takedown machine.

GOT THE FINALS AND CHAMPION RIGHT 

 

138  Finals Favorite: Travis Vasquez, Delbarton vs Eric Friedman, Mendham

Third Place: Anthony Fano, Montville

Prediction: This is a toss-up. I think both wrestlers match up evenly but I will give Friedman the edge here.

ALL THREE RIGHT, WRONG CHAMPION 

 

145  Finals Favorite: Dan Reed, Delbarton vs Tommy Vazzano, Mount Olive

Third Place: Gene Angelo, Hanover Park

Prediction: Again another open weight class. I am giving Reed the edge as the defending county champion. One thing I was always told when I got into covering high school sports; Dont pick against a champion.

ONLY GOT THE CHAMPION RIGHT IN THIS ONE 

 

152  Finals Favorite: Luke Bohn, Jefferson vs Joe Tavoso, Delbarton

Third Place: Ronnie Spear, Mount Olive

Prediction: Bohn has been impressive in his junior season, going 16-2. I think he has just enough to pull out the victory. 

GOT THE FINAL RIGHT WITH WRONG WINNER

 

160  Finals Favorite: Dean Drugac, Morris Knolls vs Anthony Bassolino, Hanover Park

Third Place: Steven Acevedo, Morris Hills

Prediction: These two met earlier in the season with Drugac winning 9-7. I think Bassolino gets his revenge and takes the title.

GOT ALL THREE RIGHT WITH WRONG CHAMPION

 

170  Finals Favorite: Dillon Artigliere, Roxbury vs Josef Johnson, Delbarton

Third Place: Vincent Mattia, Whippany Park

Prediction: Artigliere, the reigning champion at 160, and Johnson, 7th at that weight, should meet again in a finals rematch. Artigiliere won that matchup and should take this one. The two have met once this season in the finals of the Newark Academy Tournament which Artigliere took 9-2.

THREE FOR THREE HERE

 

182  Finals Favorite: Sam Button, Mendham vs Michael Weiss, Parsippany Hills

Third Place: Jose Delgado, Morris Hills

Prediction: Button should win this match in a close contest.

HAD THE FINAL RIGHT AS WELL AS THE CHAMPION

 

195  Finals Favorite: Nicholas D`Uva, Parsippany Hills vs Aaron Flitcroft, Mendham

Third Place: Stevan Webb, Whippany Park

Prediction: D'Uva , who qualified for the state tournament last year, should take it here.

ONLY GOT THE CHAMPION RIGHT HERE 

 

220  Finals Favorite: Jesse Windt, West Morris vs Steven Hill, Parsippany Hills

Third Place: Spencer Ochner, Pequannock

Prediction: In a battle of defending district champions, Windt looks to be the favorite here.

THREE FOR THREE HERE

 

285  Finals Favorite: Nick LaShell, Hanover Park vs Kyle McGinley, Parsippany Hills,  

Third Place: Ethan Fox, Monvtille

Prediction:  LaShell should roll to this title. He is the most dominant heavyweight in the county and should showcase it this weekend.

HAD THE TOP THREE CORRECT INCLUDING THE CHAMPION AND WAS A TB AWAY FROM HAVING THE FINAL CORRECT.
