The New York State Sportswriters Association has released it’s final team rankings for the 2018-2019 season and the Minisink Valley Warriors have been recognized as #3 in NYS! This is an absolutely amazing accomplishment considering the Warriors graduated 6 Section 9 champions last season….not too bad for a “rebuilding” year! The is the sixth year in a row that Minisink has finished in the top 10 in the state! The future looks very bright for Minisink too considering they are only losing 3 starters to graduation! Congratulations to Coaches Gallagher, Hendershot, Potter, and Byrne, and to the rest of the Minisink Valley wrestling program which includes their outstanding Mat Maids program lead by Michelle Fenner!
Let’s also extend out congratulations to the Monroe Woodbury and Eldred/Liberty/Sullivan West wrestling programs for also being recognized by the NYSSWA! The Crusaders finished 15th in the Division 1 rankings and E/L/SW was ranked 23rd among small schools. Several other Section 9 team received honorable mention recognition.
