Shore Stuff
Lacey: 41 Champs - Last: 3 in 2018 / 1 Team Title in 1999
The Lions had a run of four straight seasons with a District Champ last season. They have a pair of top seeds and #2 seeds as they look to start a new streak this season. Junior Vin Ceglie was a District Champ in 2018, and is looking to become the program's 13th 2-time Champ. The Lions' other top-seed, Jackson Brandt, is a 2-time medal winner searching for his first title in his final season. Sophomore Brady Carter, a District and Region runner-up last season, had been battling injury all season and has not entered the tournament.
TOP 4 SEEDS
1: Brandt (170) / Ceglie (220)
2: Rolak (132) / O'Connor (195)
4: Heck (106)
TR North: 69 Champs - Last: 3 in 2019 / Streak: 7 Seasons / 2 Team Titles - Last: 2018
North is on a run of 7 seasons with a District Champ, and has had three or more in each of the last three seasons. Senior Nick Boggiano, who the program record for career wins earlier this season, is attempting to become the 4th Mariner with at least three District Titles.
TOP 4 SEEDS
1: R Rosenthal (113) / Boggiano (152) / O'Donnell (Hwt)
2: Spalletta (160) / Burkert (170) / Nakano (220)
3: Anderson (106) / J Rosenthal (120) / Elias (195)
Weight To Watch
There are a bunch of solid, deep weights here, 120, 145, 220, and Hwt in particular stand out, but I'm going with the bracket at 138 which could potentially give us one of the marquee finals in all of the Districts. Top-seeded Jacob Perez-Eli of Paulsboro is a returning State runner-up. #2 Cooper Pontelandolfo of Cherokee finished 6th in NJ last season. They're joined by a field that includes double-digit winners all at .500 or better all the way through to the #8 seed.
Team Title Prediction
There's a lot of great talent in this District, but in the end, the Red Raiders from Paulsboro probably have just too many guns to not claim another Team Title.
