ABSECON AT NIGHT

Well, we have 3 finalists -- Somerville senior 125-pounder Jim Kirchner, Watchung Hills junior 171-pounder Brendan Ard and Bound Brook freshman 189-pounder Andrew Campolattano.

Can they all win? Campolattano has wrestled Bergen Catholic's Jon Becker during the summer. Kirchner wrestles Anthony Curcio of Washington Township. The way Kirchner is wrestling, does it really matter who he's got in the final?

Ard wrestles Dan Seidenberg of Raritan.

I'm predicting 3 local champs...

How's this? Somerset County has 3 finalists -- Hunterdon County will have not one place winner. Mercer County has one in Hopewell Valley 189-pounder George Saliba. You need to go back a very, very long time to find out the last time Hunterdon County didn't have a place winner.

Atlantic City may be the best place to host this tournament, but I do know that those that run the Prudential Center in Newark would like to host it some day.

If you ever get to downtown Absecon, please try the Phoenix Diner. Good turkey clubs, BLTS, grilled cheese sandwiches and soups...:)

The omelettes are pretty good, too.
