11:11 Ryan Leblanc (3-Morrisville-Eaton) tech. fall Will Carter (Westlake), 17-2.
10:54: John Greisheimer 9 (Wantagh) pin. John Coffey (Pearl River), 3:08. Greisheimer took Coffey down quickly and then tilted him for a 4-0 lead after one.
10:54: James Brundage (Ossining) dec. Jesse Villella (4-Chenango Forks), 4-1. Brundage scores a second-period reversal to take a 2-0 lead. Brundage will place in the top six.
10:54: Zeke Stambovsky (Nyack) dec. Brendan Dwyer (5-Pittsford), 5-4. Stambosky trailed 4-3 early in the third, but reversed Dwyer and was close to tilting him twice.
10:54: David Rice (Edgemont) dec. Matt Matt Cartusciello (PSAL-Petrides), 4-2. Rice had a second-period bar and an escape point.
10:54: Cody Legg (Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk) dec. Ray Wang (Edgemont), 5-2.
10:54: Genta Murayama (Edgemont) dec. Brett Sewalt (4-Waverly), 3-1 in overtime. I missed this match.
10:02: Ryan Blauvelt (3-Oswego) dec. Dominick Oddo (Mahopac), 8-7. Oddo led 7-5 entering the third period. He cut Blauvelt to open the period. Blauvelt was in on a shot attempt with about 30 seconds remaining, but Oddo forced a stalemate. Blauvelt came right back and hit a low double to upset Oddo.
9:56: Andrew Lenzi (CHSAA-Fordham Prep) maj. dec. Brandan McKeown (Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake), 14-5. Lenzi secured a takedown and put McKeown right to his back in the opening seconds for a quick 5-0 lead. Lenzi would lead 7-1 after one and was never in any danger. Lenzi will face Brian Benton (2-Amsterdam) in the 130-pound final.
9:41: Shawn Brown (10-Canton) dec. Joey Grippi (Fox Lane), 8-7. What a gut-wrenching defeat for Grippi, who hit a high single and put Brown to his back with seven seconds remaining in the match for a 7-3 lead, but Brown, who had underhooks in, flipped Grippi over and to his back for a four-point move in the final seconds.
9:37: T.J. Popolizio (2-Shenendehowa) dec. Mark Arcara (Harrison), 2-0. Popolizio scored a first-period takedown. In the second period, he rode Arcara out, running a bar series, but was unable to turn Arcara. Popolizio chose bottom for the third period. Arcara appeared to have Popolizio tilted with 37 seconds left, but Popolizio got to his belly. The official got to a one count.
9:32: Joe Smaldone (5-Geneva) dec. Ryan Osleeb (North Salem), 8-3. A pair of first-period takedowns for Smaldone, including one in the final few seconds, was the difference as he led 4-1.
9:20: Justis Flamio (Mahopac) dec. Steven Keith (11-Shoreham Wading River), 8-3. After Flamio lost to Keith in last year’s 96 semifinals, he returned the favor. Flamio and Keith traded a takedown and reversal, respectively, in the first period. A Keith shot attempt resulted in a stalemate early in the second period. Flamio hit a shot and put Keith to his back for four points and a 6-2 lead. Keith escaped to open the third, but failed to get in on Flamio. Flamio will face Nick Arajau (8-Syosset) in the 112 final.
9:13: C.J. Howard (5-Pittsford) dec. Steven Rodrigues (Fox Lane), 1-0. A second-period escape was the lone point. Howard sank legs immediately in the third period. He was banged for a stall warning with 36 seconds remaining.
9:02: Brian Realbuto (Somers) dec. Shane Connolly (9-Warwick Valley), 5-3. A second-period reversal and 3-point tilt powers Realbuto into the consi semis and a top-6 finish.

wow joey that stinks!
Tony –
Updated brackets say Grippi-Liguori in the consi semis. I’m not sure why, as they faced each other already. Messina faced neither Liguori or Cubilos and should face Liguori.
GO JUSTIS!!! I guess Oddo got 4th? Good job Joey
WAY TO GO JUSTIS. HE WILL WIN THE TITLE. NOBODY HAS WORKED HARDER IN THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT THAN JUSTIS. COGRATS ALSO TO MR FLAMIO I WATCHED YOU WORK YOUR SON OUT ALL SUMMER AT NYSC IN SOMERS. SO GLAD TO SEE ALL THE INSANE HARD WORK PAY OFF. MY HEART GOES OUT TO GRIPPI SUCH A TOUGH WAY TO LOSE KID. LET IT GO AND FINISH 3RD GOOD TRY ODDO.
Hey Shoebox,

http://www.armdrag.com/states/div1nys.pdf
Darn, Coffey beat that kid Antonoli just lost too, too bad
FOX LANE PARENT WAY TO GREAT WEBSITE AGAIN
I got a text telling me oddo did another wrestleback and won? Im on my phone and can’t look at brackets
Oddo places- thanks Mr. Stambovsky for the info, I wouldn’t know it without you
According to the brackets, Oddo lost to Lenzi and then to oswego kid…..based on the updated brackets, the top 6 fighting for place in 130 are:
Lenzi, benton, Brandan Mckeown, Stephen Dutton, Mike Doria, and Ryan Blauvelt….are the brackets wrong?????? they seem to be updated, even fixed grippi-Liguori match…..what does mr. Stambovsky know that we dont….please tell…
probably since lenzi is catholic school and in one of the state wrestling federations catholic is not counted
does that matter in states??? and if so, why do they not show that on the brackets?????
Found this on blog in sectionone….can anyone explain??? “Oddo gets one more match for pseudo All-State (Lenzi)”
The State Tournament is really two tournaments in one, the NYS tournament and the NY Federations. Catholic Schools and PSAL are in the Federation but not the NYS Tournament. Placewinners receive two medals (one for State Tournament and one for Federations) unless that person is PSAL or CHSAA, then they only get one (Federation).
Whenever a CHSAA or PSAL kid places there is a 7/8th place match to decide who places in the NYS tournament. Everyone bumps up one to fill the places left by the CHSAA or PSAL kid. Last year, at 112, both a PSAL kid (Sotto) and CHSAA kid (Russ), so both wrestlers in the 7/8th match placed.
If Lenzi were to win he would be a federation champion, but not a NYS Champion, Benton technically would be. It’s symantics really. Very confusing, I know, but I hope that helped.
what time are the finals
Thanks ramfan…so I guess that means, no matter what happens, Benton is the state champ….very confusing, but I get it….
GUYS BOTTOM LINE ODDO IS OUT. VERY DISSAPOINTING CANT WAIT TO WATCH THE 112LB FINAL. DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW OSLEEB DID IN D2 112. HE GAVE FLAMIO A TOUGH MATCH EARLIER THIS YEAR. GRIIPI WAS WITHIN 7SEC OF A FINALS MATCH, KNOW HES WRESTLING FOR FIFTH. CONGRAT TO REALBUTTO FINISHING FOURTH. WE STILL GOT BRUNDAGE AND STAMBOVSKY WRESTLING FOR THIRD.
does anyone know how Sean Paul from Dobbs Ferry is doing?
In 1995 (maybe 96) they had a federation tournament that was really lame. It was a week after the state tournament (there was a state tournament without CHSAA and PSAL champs) and the winner of the state tournament wrestled a three man round robin tournament with the PSAL and CHSAA champs to decide a true federation champ. Almost no one showed up. So now they have it set up like this (they way it was pre-95). So technically I guess the Federation Champ is considered higher.
Oddo is out of the Federation tournament, but if he wins the 7th/8th place match he’d be 6th in the State tournament.
doesnt seem very fair that if lenzi wins that he is only considered a federation champion. If he wrestles the same guys that everyone else does what is the difference? doesnt make sense, doesnt seem fair.
that federation thing is retarded.
is it true arcara tore his shoulder in the state tournament durung his winky shepard match?
