Go to the mat with sports reporter Tony Pinciaro to get the inside story on Section 1 wrestling.

Semifinal Sunday

March
9

The wrestles are on the mat preparing for what they are hoping will result in state championships.

The semifinalists once again are:

112 – Justis Flamio (Mahopac) vs. Steven Keith (11-Shoreham Wading-River). Keith is the 2007 Division I 96-pound state champion. Keith beat Flamio in last year’s semifinals.

112 – Ryan Osleeb (North Salem) vs. Joe Smaldone (5-Geneva). One thing Osleeb can expect is legs. Section 5 wrestlers are notorious for running legs and they do it quite effectively.

125 – Joey Grippi (Fox Lane) vs. Shawn Brown (10-Canton).

130 – Andrew Lenzi (Fordham Prep) vs. Brandan McKeown (2-Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake).

145 – John Coffey (Pearl River) vs. John Greisheimer (8-Wantagh). Greisheimer decisioned New Rochelle’s Tom Antonioli, 11-6 in the quarters yesterday.

160 – Will Carter (Westlake) vs. Ryan Leblanc (3-Morrisville-Eaton).

I’ll update each semi-final match and also keep you posted on the wrestleback results. The wrestlers still active in wrestlebacks are:

Brian Realbuto (Somers)
Steven Rodrigues (Fox Lane)
Mark Arcara (Harrison)
Genta Murayama (Edgemont)
Dominick Oddo (Mahopac)
Derrick Longo (Ardsley)
David Rice (Edgemont)
Ray Wang (Edgemont)
James Brundage (Ossining)
Zeke Stambosky (Nyack)
