Regional Youth Tournaments

I have been getting several requests for information about Youth Wrestling Tournaments.  Unfortunately, there does not seem to be too many local events schedued.  What I’ve decided to do, however, is provide some information about tournaments that are within a few hours of Section 9.  Hopefully, in time, we will see an increase in local youth tournaments.  For the time being, you may want to consider entering your future Section 9 wrestlers in tournaments in Section 1 (Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester Counties), NJ, PA, Long Island, Sections 3 and 4 (Central NY), and Section 2 (Albany area).  I hope this is of some help to those of you who are interested, and please do not hesitate in sending me any additional information regarding youth wrestling.

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).
