#4 in Shore Conference
District 29 Champions
SJG5 State Sectional Qualifiers
A-South Champions
21st Place Escape The Rock
With ten Region 8 participants returning, and a swarm of other talent on hand, the Rams are loaded, again.
Down low, Southern brings back a trio of 2nd place finishers in the District in junior Sebastian Delligatti, and seniors Owen Kretschmer, a 3-time placer, and Matt Barnett, who is a 2-time State qualifier. They're joined by sophomore Jayson Scerbo, who also advanced to the Regions last season after placing 3rd in the D29 at 106. Those four returning starters are joined by promising youngsters, sophomore Jason Sari and freshman Matt Brielmeier, to give the Rams a tough bunch of lowerweights.
Things look just as good in the middle of the lineup. Junior Nick O'Connell is coming a 34-win season that culminated with an 8th place finish in Atlantic City at 145. Senior Dan Gorman and junior Nick Pepe are two more of Southern's returning Region 8 qualifiers and are joined by juniors Luke Galan and Haven Tatarek, as well as sophomore Robert Woodcock, who wrestled at St. Augustine last season.
Things are no different in the top of the lineup, as Southern returns three more Region qualifiers in junior John Stout, and seniors Vin Miele and Matt Mackanic. The upperweights are further boosted with the return of senior Joe Miele, who was a starter in 2016, and sophomores Ben LoParo, who also wrestled at St. Augustine last season, and Jared Cornelius.
When you're as successful as Southern has been, for as long as they've been, you're always returning talent, but this may be as deep a talent pool as they've returned in a long time. I mean, 10 returning Region qualifiers is pretty good. Add to that, the return of Joe Miele to the lineup, and Woodcock and LoParo, who both came up through Southern's feeder program, on board, and a host other talented new faces looking to make an immediate impact, and things are looking pretty, pretty good.
The Rams have won A-South two years in a row, and will be favored to make it three. In addition to the A-South slate, there are some great out of conference matchups on the schedule that include trips to Phillipsburg, South Plainfield, and Buena, as well as a meeting with High Point on December 23rd as part of a home quad. Southern has won A-South the last two years, and will be favored to win their 3rd straight. They won the SJG5 and overall Group 5 Title in 2016, but did not get a chance to defend those crowns last season after being forced to withdraw from the tournament. No doubt they'll be raring to go for shot to reclaim their title. Individually, the bar was raised high last season with 11 Region qualifiers, but with 10 of those qualifiers back, and strong talent in the other four weights, they'll look to try and even better that number this year, as well as aim for having a nice contingent in Atlantic City come March.
