Section 1 Wrestlers, Section 1 wrestling coaches and wrestling fans, welcome to Takedowns. This is the latest addition to the Journal News (LoHud) website of high school blogs.
I look forward to sharing my thoughts and opinions on what I feel is a great sport – wrestling.ÂÂ
More importantly though, this blog is here for you – the wrestlers, coaches and fans. Don’t be shy. Let me know what you think. However, based on the removal of the Forum on the Section 1 Coaches website due to inappropriate postings, please remember to keep your comments clean. This blog will be monitored closely.
The season oficially opened yesterday as Ossining faced two-time defending Section 1 large-school titlist Mahopac as ‘Pac coach Sal Imbimbo faced his former school. Mahopac, fueled by five pins, defeated Ossining, 46-15. Two-time sectional champion Dom Oddo opened his season with a first-period pin. Even with the loss of four-time sectional champion David Colagiovanni and state place-finisher Blaise Flamio, Imbimbo feels this is one of his strongest teams.

I’m looking forward to fans using this blog to discuss wrestling issues among serious fans instead of how the forum degraded to infantile remarks meant to denegrade our section’s athletes. We’re very fortunate to have the coverage we do from someone who understands the intricacies of great sport. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you for getting this done. You are section 1’s #1 wretling fan and we all appreciate your efforts to promote the sport we are all passionate about right here at home. Take care.
Good stuff, I am glad that wrestling has it chance to “blog” the season! Thank you Journal News and Anthony.
Tony: The first entries on the blog are great. It’s nice to see wrestling get the kind of exposure some of the other sports are getting. We are very fortunate to have you as the wrestling beat writer. Thanks.
Hi Tony, Great to have you back with the wrestling news. I agree, you are the best. Hope your Wrestling Notebook will continue to appear on Friday in the paper for the fans who don’t have access to a computer.
Tony,
I am happy to see that you are back with us. We need to appreciate what you do for this sport in our Section and respect this forum and use it for appropiate things.
See You around Tony.
Tony, I agree with Vinny about the picture. I’ll play around with it in Photoshop. You’ll have hair in no time. Keep up the good work!!!
Tony- Welcome back and thank you for all your years of coverage and enthusiasm!- Dennis DiSanto
Hi Tony:

Ok, my son is a wrestler. But I think it is mad cool that you’ve the support of all these coaches. Speaks to your knowledge etc. But with a blog, you are going to “cross the line a bit” in order to get fan reaction.
Fox lane defeated Brewster today. Tough afternoon for Brewster, one win and one forfeit. 10 points total for them. I wish them a better rest of season.
