This past week concluded the Central Jersey "A" team's season. The team finished strong with wins over Ridge (72-14) and Hillsborough (62-30). Overall, the team finished the season with a respectable 12-5 dual meet record in an extremely competitive league. Worth mentioning were standout performances from Christian Burns (18-0) and Garret Beam (16-0) who finished the season undefeated. This is a GREAT accomplishment considering the level of talented teams in our league and they should be very proud! Next up for the Bears is our year-end league tournament where many of our kids hope to be high on the podium at the finish. Good luck and keep up the hard work! |

NJ Wrestling:
Breaking down Group 2 semifinals, final
CHRIS ORLANDO, February 12, 2011 9:14 p.m. |
GROUP 2
No. 10 Brearley (16-1) vs. Delsea (20-2)
West Essex (13-4) vs. Long Branch (19-5)
Semifinals 10 a.m.
Championship 3:30 p.m. |
Brearley wrestlers to watch: Anthony Madonia (22-6 at 119), Anthony Rice (17-3 at 125), Dom Martinez (13-9 at 130), Andrew Scarillo (8-13 at 135), Nick Lospinoso (20-5 at 140), Dan Ries (23-5, ranked fifth at 145), Devin Geoghegan (21-4, ranked sixth at 152), John Balboni (7-3 at 160), Dillon Geoghegan (20-6, ranked seventh at 171), Anthony Tancs (19-10 at 189), Greg Rice (15-9 at 215) |
Prediction: Brearley has emerged as one of the state’s elite teams over the last six seasons and it will look to reach a group final for the fourth time in the last five years. The Kenilworth school bowed to Long Branch in the 2008 and 2009 Group 2 finals and a rematch today is likely. Brearley, which suffered its only loss of the season to No. 2 High Point on Jan. 17, has been spurred by its middle weights this post-season. After getting past a scrappy Delsea team in the semifinal round, look for Brearley to finally claim its first group title with a victory over a sturdy Long Branch squad. Brearley, 34-27. |

Brearley: The Kenilworth school has fallen just short of a group championship the past few years thanks to the likes of Long Branch and, when it was in Group 1, Paulsboro. Things just may line up right for Brearley this time. It returns a tested lineup that boasts both depth and balance. Sophomore Dylan Oliva (103), third in District 11, senior Anthony Madonia (112), second in the district and fourth in Region 3, sophomore Anthony Rice (119), first in the district and fourth in the region, junior Nick Lospinoso (135),second in the district, senior Dan Ries (140), eighth in the state tournament at 140, senior Devin Geoghegan (145), second in the region, sophomore John Balboni (152), third in the region, senior Dillon Geoghegan (160), first in the district, junior Anthony Tancs (171), second in the district, and senior Greg Rice(215), fourth in the district, form an imposing group. Brearley has a new coach in Scot Weaver, formerly of Queen of Peace, who replaces Brian Luciani, who is now the Kenilwoth school’s athletic director.
Contenders: Long Branch, Delaware Valley, West Deptford, Delsea, Delran, Hackettstown and Jefferson. |
