Post Match: OK, I was way off here on the team score; Grubert did return and got the hornets 6; The Hornets did win 5 out of 7 in the middle, starting at 125. The Hornets send out Marc Pompei at 130, I think it was his first varsity match this year and not letting up 5 or 6 was a great job there. Toma came through, and so far is the most improved Hornet this year, beating Sosa. McNeil pinned and as I said before, looks very strong this year. The win at 285 gave the Vikings two of the three key matches they needed. Rob Cali came through with 6 very important points at 145 and was a key swing on the way to Hanover’s victory.

Prematch: Par Hills has suffered a few tough losses to Scotch Plains, Mendham and Mt. Olive. Obviously on Mendham counts in conference standing, but both matches should have the Vikings ready for the youth strong Hornets. Hanover sends out a solid line up matches up well with the Vikings. Look for the Hornets to win 5 of 7 matches in the middle, especially if Jake Grubert returns at 152. Ben McNeil has been tough all year and looks strong, finishing 2nd in the Parsippany tournament. But big win at 112, 119 and 285 will not be enough to overcome the Hornets. Key matches include Toma and Sosa at 112, who ever wrestles at 130 and Symcheck v. Eagan at 135. But depending on the toss, do not be surprised if Par Hills bumps up from McNeil on in hopes to gain back some points. Prediction: Hornets by 4
