    175: Defending champ Cerchio. But he's taken some losses this year, including a Pin fall against Burton.

    Top-seed Burton would APPEAR to be on a collision course with Cerchio. But you never know in NJ.

    Burton/Cerchio roll into the Semi's.

    A couple 1-seeds have been knocked out.

    Nice, Chiefs. Appreciate the reply.

    HS Wrestling is a great sport. I'd like to attend more of the State tournaments. Jersey would be #1 on my To Do list, just b/c the kids are so tough.

    Honestly, I think the list of wrestlers was a little better LAST YEAR. This Knox guy is an animal. And I sort of expect them to CLOSE with 175 if the final is indeed Burton vs Cerchio.

    190: Ludington - thru to the Semifinals. Another real hammer.

    New Jersey wresting is HUGE!

    I know, I wrestled out of Cranford NJ High School.
    158 lbs. as a Junior, 170 lbs. as a Senior.
    (NCAA D2 as well)

    The competition is insane in NJ.
    The heavyweights were mostly Bergen County 17-year-olds, some of them played offensive line at Bergen Catholic HS or Paramus Catholic, or Bergenfield.

    We call Penn State Linebacker U. in these parts, and a lot of those Big Ten linebackers come straight out of Bergen County High Schools.

    Hey, Nashy. Yes, I know you're a tough guy if you come out of Jersey wrestling.

    Bergen Cath has produced a lot of D1 wrestlers. I think Bergen had three All-Americans last year (including former champ Griffin).

    I've been saying to myself that I need to make it to this tournament one of these years. Logistically, hasn't happened yet.

    If I had one bias on Jersey wrestling, it's that I don't like Blair. I get it, they recruit guys.

    They compete in the prep tournament, not the Jersey finals. That's only fair, as they're really in a different category.

    See if I'm right about 175:

    *Burton: Teched a guy in the 1st period! Followed it up w/ two 1st-period falls. Cerchio: 3 falls.

    Finals are now shaping up:

    113: #4 McGinty takes out the top-seed. Versus #2 Hagensen in final.

    120: Knox is annihilating fools. Would line him at -8 vs Wehner in final.

    126: #16 Hibler vs #2 DeGeorge. Hibler with 3 upsets (including KO of the top-seed).

    138: #1 Riccardi vs #2 James. Another great matchup.

    144: #1 vs #2 again.

    150: Upset bracket. #5 Hawk vs #3 Ballante.

    157: #1 Henrich vs #2 Jones. Henrich is defending champ, but he wrestles low-scoring matches.

    165: #1 Perentin vs #2 Chapman. Perentin is defending champ, going to be tough to beat.

    175: The huge matchup materialies. Burton/Cerchio, immovable object vs un-stoppable force.

    190: Huge matchup. #1 Lee vs #2 Skove (who is defending champ).

    Hvy: #1 Dellagata vs #6 Martin. Amazing stat on Martin: *4 matches, 4 Falls. He's been on the mat for barely 5:00 total!
