Anyone have a copy of that semi final match between Grippi – Rugg ?
That was an exciting match between Realbuto and McQueen, I know McQueen was the heavy favor to win but Realbuto who is only a 9th grader works his butt off all year round for that state title.
He wrestles all over the country on the off season and just lives,
thinks, sleeps, trains,works out everyday for wrestling !
I thought the match was very exciting but Mcqueen should have shaken
Realbuto’s hand and accepted the second place metal, I thought that
was very unsportsmanlike, Realbuto is a hard working kid and is a class act with alot of natural talent and has been around wrestling ever since he was in 1st grade. His record speaks for itself 133-9

In the 135lb weight Class they have Paul Liqouri a 2x state champ
seeded 8th, Lenzi, thereturning state champ at # 3 , Dutton at # 2
who is 42-0 and a guy from Valley Central who is 46-4 as the # 1
seed when Dutton should be the# 1 seed this year in my opinion.

I can’t believe some of these seeds for the New York state tournament this year.

Id like to see Section 11, Section 8 and Section 1 have more tournaments like the Eastern States Classic and more match ups
against all of these Sections in order to better each wrestler
and to better each Section prior to the NYS tournament.

What is this about? And whom from the section 8 community exactly needs to be convinced! There cant be enough press and coverage for this sport..it needs all it can get, and there is enough for everyone.. I am very upset .. who is in charge of getting press passes for you? This is ridiculous..

Let people in the Section VIII wrestling community know how much you value the coverage that this site brings and that you would like to see the live coverage next season. Be nice, but let them know that you are disappointed. We were even actually going to do Division II finals since they are at different times. Those kids get no exposure. It would have been nice for them.

and who loses out on this deal..the fans…the wrestlers and Nassau as a section without the live exposure.

That stinks. Is there anything we can do?

what? why would Nassau not want to get live coverage for their tournament…seems strange that Section XI and NYS tournaments want coverage but Nassau does not. Oh well.
