MacArthur won their sixth consecutive Nassau County title as they edged rival Massapequa, 189 points to 175.5. Coach Howie Greenblatt andt he Generals crowned three champions, Mike Daly (25-6) who narrowly defeated teammate, Greg Popko in overtime at 112, 2004 champion Steve Delorenzo (35-1) at 135 and Dan Calvacca (30-2) at 152 pounds. That trio all earned their second county crowns and hope to improve on their past state finishes. The Chiefs had one champion, sophomore Shane Strumwasser (31-1) at 119. For legendary coach Gary Mims, who is retiring at the conclusion of the season, this will be his last county champion. Mims, who has been the head coach at Massapequa for the past 29 years, is hoping that Strumwasser will become the Chiefs' fourth NYS champion. Defending champions that successfully defended their titles were PJ Gillespie (35-0) at 125, who earned his third county title, state placewinners, Andre Harrison (130) and Eric Burnett (34-1) at 215, along with unbeaten Joe Goetz (26-0) at 275 pounds. Wantagh freshman Paul Liquori (35-0) won the 96-pound crown and is ranked amongst the top lightweights in the state...
