Sem Dominates ESC…Seven S9 Wrestlers Place Top 8!
Wyoming Seminary made their Eastern States Classic debut in style! The prep school from northeastern PA crowned five champions and outscored runner-up Shenendehowa by 89 points. Quite simply, they were dominating. They brought 13 wrestlers to the tournament…12 of them placed in the top eight. No other team placed more than 5!
Seven Section 9 wrestlers stepped on the podium led by Ethan Stanley’s third place finish. The Saugerties heavyweight’s only loss was 1-0 decision (illegal clasp) in the semifinals to eventual champion Michael Johnson of Wyoming Seminary. Other local wrestlers who placed were Gerard Daly (Minisink Valley, 6th @ 99), Michael Raccioppi (Minisink Valley, 7th @ 106), TJ Kreider (Cornwall, 8th @ 113), Bret Sauschuck (Port Jervis, 7th @ 145), Jesse Corcoran (Eldred/Fallsburg, 8th @ 220), and Seth Stauble (Kingston, 7th @ 285).
