A wild Saturday

18 schools at 11 wrestling tournaments. Included in the long schedule were Bound Brook and Delaware Valley's trip to the Indian River High Tournament in Delaware and Voorhees' trip to the WRAL Touranment in North Carolina.

Oh, and a couple of quad meets.

That was Saturday's season-opening schedule.

I know most people could care less about what we go through in gathering all of these results, but believe me, district Saturday has nothing on the first day of the season. And the quads and tris will be a regular part of the landscape this year because of the condensed schedule.

A couple of thoughts on the weekend.

South Plainfield finished second behind Hackettstown at the Morris Knolls Tournament. Hackettstown is very good and will pose a serious challenge to Delaware Valley's stranglehold on the Skyland Conference Raritan Division this year. South Plainfield had seven champions - going 6-1 against Hackettstown in the final. The Tigers also have a dual meet with Hackettstown next month in Hackettstown. THat should be fun.

Delaware Valley senior Dan Kelly, second in the state last year at 112, won Outstanding Wrestler at the Indian River Tournament. Delaware Valley had three champions and Bound Brook had two.

Bridgewater-Raritan was second to Jackson in the Neptune Tournament. Roy Dragon (275) and Drew Ives (189) were champs. Bridgewater-Raritan is headed for a very good dual meet season.

Ridge beat Marlboro and Sacred Heart of Vineland in a tri meet, losing to J.P. Stevens and former Bernards' head coach Mike Siter. Ridge should be better; the Red Devils play host to North Hunterdon Wednesday night. North was second at the Hopatcong Tournament.

The Hunterdon/Warren Tournament is Saturday at the Hunterdon Central Fieldhouse.

Roy Dragon is still at Bridgewater?

I think that kid was there before the merge.
