The NHSCA held their 11th annual National Pre-Season Wrestling Championships on November 16th at Pleasant Valley High School in Brodheadsville, PA. A few of our local wrestlers are to be congratulated for their outstanding performance and achievement.

Steve Bonanno wins decisively (10-4 )over Taylor Brown in his college debut match in front of home town crowd at Northport High School this afternoon at 2 PM.

On Sunday Strong Island hosted their first annual wrestling tournament at Nassau community college. It was well attended by Suffolk, Nassau, City, and New Jersey wrestlers.

The tournament was well run but did not have a strong field of Long Island Wrestlers. There was some good competition between New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The top four wrestlers in each weight class are eligible to advance to the next round of the tournament located in Michigan on November 1, 2008. Section 8 and 11 were represented by Longwood, Wantagh, Baldwin, MacArthur, and Mephem High Schools with at least one wrestler.
