Beacon tournament results

January

The Beacon tournament finals just came in over the phone. No surprise here as Fox Lane, John Jay, and Brewster finished 1, 2, and 3. They’re the top three teams in the Westchester/Putnam power rankings (though not in that order).

Sam Speno, Steven Rodrigues, Joey Grippi, and Luke Speno won titles for the victorious Foxes.

“It was a very good team effort,” Foxes coach Joe Amuso said. “We not only got the performances from the consistent wrestlers in the finals, but we also got points from the wrestle-backs.”

Below are the finals results. Note that in the team scoring only the top three have scores. Coach Amuso didn’t have anything beyond that. The other teams are listed alphabetically, not in the order they finished.

Team scores and key: 1. Fox Lane (FL) 197.5; 2. John Jay (JJ) 185; 3. Brewster (Bw) 175; Arlington (Arl); Beacon (Be), Half Hollow Hills (HHH), North Salem (NS), Ossining (O), Port Chester (PC), Valley Central (VC), Yorktown (Yk).

i wasn’t there but from the scores of the matches the 145, 160, and 171 matches were really good….any comments…
Jake Thomases January 24th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
section 1 w/some sense…Right now we only have team scoring for the top three. The other teams are listed in alphabetical order. So North Salem didn’t finish ahead of Ossining.

I added a note about it in the body of the post.
ok January 24th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
eric, not a suprise on the finish? Valley Central is ranked 27th in the state and took 5th, ossining placed ahead of them also. Biggest news were the injuries (swertsfeger and almadovar both were seriously injursed plus 3 other kids left in an ambulance,)Rose’s No-show, watterson beating cabibbo, and bailey to be named MOW, and 160 was loaded with genovesse beating ramos in a great match by 1 and losing to brundage by 1 in the finals.

Damn. wanted to see Swertfager and Gogatz go at it again too bad Swertfager got hurt. and i saw Grippi wrestle Gogatz in the semis then Barry in the finals. Looks like a state champ to me.

Hi Jake,

I think you are doing a great job so far, but where is the information on the Croton Tournament? Nothing in the paper, but that Sleeppy Hollow won? Why is this? can you list this tournament on the web, and how do we get it in the news paper. It is really a shame, there was some really good schools there and some great matches.

Great match between Tompkins (Beacon) and Speno. I would say Tompkins would be the favorite @ 140 in the Sectionals. Even over Hauser(PANAS) And Wheeler( Mamaroneck).

what happened to Eric LaPorta from Yorktown? How did he fare?
Jake Thomases January 25th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Fan…We tried to get Croton results last night but coach Sam Occhipinti didn’t have them handy. They were with his assistant. Hopefully they will get faxed to us tonight.
phil January 25th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Kinda funny, but Sam Speno was the most impressive Fox lane

wrestler at the tourney.

Did he face the JJCR wrestler who beat him last weekend ?

No: Parise (Brewster) defeated Yablon for the third straight time this season, before meeting Speno in the finals
junior January 27th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Hi Jake,

Do you know if Tompkins is certified 140 for the Sectionals? last year placed third 130 IN sectionals. He might be a light 145 pounder now
Jake Thomases January 27th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
junior…Not sure on Tompkins. Beacon is out of our coverage area so I’m not as up on those guys.

BREWSTER January 28th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
