96 pounds- East Meadow's Al Tropiano could be the favorite here as he hopes to improve on his sixth place-finish last year. Strong challenges will come from Chris Reilly (Garden City), Mike Pagano(Calhoun), Steve DeLorenzo(MacArthur) and Sandeep Kumar(Long Beach).
103 pounds- All-county matmen Michael Moor(Seaford) and Ryan Burtis(Farmingdale) could meet for the championship. Others that will be in the mix are MOW winner Jon Kessler (Roslyn), all-county Spencer Cook (East Meadow), Matt Meyers(MacArthur) and county medalist Joe Moran(VSS).
112 pounds- Defending champion Matt DeLorenzo(MacArthur) is here and will be tough to beat. Potential finalists include OSW winner Matt Ganas(Garden City) and Chris Siraco(Levittown Division). MacArthur teammates T.J. Lazarus and 103-pound Nassau champion Bruce Popko are also here.
119 pounds- The final here should be a classic matchup with defending champion James Sgaglione(Plainedge) here and he could face nemesis Keith Mitchell(Freeport). Sgaglione finished 6th at the state and defeated all-county Mitchell, 12-9, earlier this season. A rematch should prove interesting. Also to watch will be highly touted Mike Walsh (Locust Valley), Rob Piervananzi(Herricks), all-county Chris Murray(Roslyn), sophomore Al Iaquinta(Wantagh) and Matt Cellan of Massapequa. |
