Shore Stuff
CBA - (84 Champs - Last: Richie Koehler, Sam Houston, Cameron DiGiorgio in 2018 / 4 Team Titles - Last: 2016)
The Colts have a streak of 8 straight years with multiple District Champs on the line entering this year's tournament. With just one #1 seed, Sam LaCorte (132), the Colts will need someone to break seed and pull off an upset or two to keep that streak alive. The only other Colts in medal position seeds are #2 Derek Smith (170), and Max Bean (120) at #3.
TOP 4 SEEDS
1: LaCorte (132)
2: Smith (170)
3: Bean (120)
Colts Neck - (17 Champs - Last: Joey King & Michael Jannucci in 2018 / 0 Team Titles)
The Cougars won a share of their first ever Divisional title this season, and will now be in the hunt for the program's first ever District Team Title. Senior Michael Jannucci will attempt to become the program's first ever 3-time Champion. He'll have to do so from the #2 seed, as Nico Cerbo of Middletown North earned the top-seed at that weight due to a head to head win at the SCT. The Cougars' Logan Waller (120), Nicholas Moldaver (126), Luke Rada (145), and Kenneth Koenig (170) earned top seeds, tying CNeck with Middletown North for most top seeds.
TOP 4 SEEDS
1: Waller (120) / Moldaver (126) / Rada (145) / Koenig (170)
2: Jannucci (182)
3: Lidondici (220) / Blaikie (Hwt)
4: Novoselov (113) / Zajac (132)
Middletown North - (142 Champs - Last: 4 in 2018 / 13 Team Titles - Last: 2002)
North, who has not won a District Team Title since back 2002, will be in the hunt to end that drought this year. The Lions are also looking to extend a streak of four straight seasons with multiple champs. With four top-seeds, Tyler Klinsky (106), Chris McCarthy (138), Nico Cerbo (182), and Jake Anderson (195), and some strong 2-seeds in Thomas O'Keefe (113), and Fred Luchs (120), the Lions should be able to continue that streak.
TOP 4 SEEDS
1: Klinsky (106) / McCarthy (138) / Cerbo (182) / Anderson (195)
2: O'Keefe (113) / Luchs (120)
3: Pujols (132)
RBC - (29 Champs - Last: Shawn McCord in 2014 / 0 Team Titles)
The Caseys had a program high five District Medal Winners last season, three of those winners are back. RBC has not had a District Champ since Shawn McCord in 2014, and he was their first since 2001. Steven Cmielewski earned the top-seed at 220. Barring any upsets, he would meet #2 seed Jajuan Hayes of Bordentown, a 2-time State qualifier, in the finals. The only other top 3 seed for the Caseys is John Columbia, who received the 3-seed at 195.
TOP 4 SEEDS
1: Cmielewski (220)
3: Columbia (195)
4: Meer (145) / Meyler-McAuiliffe (170)
Weight To Watch
170: The top 4 seeds here are all previous Region qualifiers. There's three tickets to the Regions available. Someone's not making a return trip.
Team Title Prediction
Colts Neck and Middletown North, who both shared a piece of the B-North crown with Ocean Twp, are the favorites here, but do not count out Allentown to make a run, as they have some strong talent that will accumulate a good share of points, they just might not have enough scoring elsewhere to hang with North and CNeck. Again, this is another Team Title race that should be close enough that an upset or two in the quarters could really shake things up, but I think North takes this by virtue of advancing the greater number of wrestlers through to the Regions. It should be VERY close though.
