Champions again: Senior Ramon Santiago of Sayreville and junior David Saley of Monroe won their third district titles. Saley's teammate, junior Sam Emburgia, beat last year's 103-pound champion, Conor Hayes of Old Bridge, 8-4, in the final at 125 pounds to earn his second career title. South River's Adam Mongelli won at 135 pounds after taking gold at 125 last season.
Outstanding Wrestler: Senior Adam Mongelli defeated Sayreville's Christopher Pearson, 9-2, to win South River's lone district title. He had a first-period pin in the quarterfinals and a technical fall in 4:53 during the semifinals to set up his second consecutive district title.
Surprises: Heavyweight Justin Harrison, a third-seeded junior, pinned second-seeded Travis Santiago of Monroe in the semifinals and flattened Sayreville's Tyler Carlock, the top seed, in 1:22 to win the title. Harrison was knocked out of the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament in the preliminary round on Jan. 31.
Back points: Joe Dougherty of South Brunswick led his squad to a third-place finish and a 19-9 record this season to be named district Coach of the Year. Sayreville won six titles from 103-to-152 pounds but couldn't overcome Old Bridge, which qualified 10 wrestlers for Region 5 competition. Old Bridge crowned just two champions - Steven Zafrani (160) and heavyweight Justin Harrison - but earned seven silver medals and a bronze. Three other Sayreville wrestlers placed fourth. Sayreville's Gary Siriday, a freshman, pinned his final round opponent at 103 in 12 seconds.

The Old Bridge High School wrestling team's once comfortable lead in the District 20 Tournament was slowly slipping away as the Knights, who advanced nine grapplers to the finals, kept losing in the championship round.



Old Bridge opened the finals with three consecutive losses beginning at 171 pounds before third-seeded heavyweight Justin Harrison, who entered the tournament with a deceptive 8-14 record, pinned top-seeded Tyler Carlock of Sayreville in the first period.

The meeting was one of four in the finals between wrestlers from Old Bridge and Sayreville, which was nipping at the Knights' heels.

Old Bridge went 2-7 in the finals, while Sayreville went 6-2 including a 3-1 record in head-to-head meetings between the teams.

In the end, Sayreville couldn't do enough to close the gap and wound up finishing 11 points behind Old Bridge, which won the title with 213 points.

Had the outcome of Harrison's heavyweight bout gone in Carlock's favor, the Bombers would have been crowned champions.

"I beat that kid in the summer duals so I was going in there actually pretty confident," said Harrison. "I had a lot of help from my teammates getting ready for this whole tournament. Our 215-pounder Tom Hunt drove me nuts all week. He kept telling me to get up and work harder. We all did a great job. We worked really hard and it all paid off."

Old Bridge held a 200-170 lead over Sayreville at the end of the semifinal round and appeared in excellent position to knock off the defending champions.

"It was a total team effort because we had a great first and second round," Old Bridge coach Bryan Garnett said. "Some of our weaker weight classes came through. We didn't have a good final round but it was the strength of the program, you could say, that won us the team title. I'm very happy with that."

Old Bridge advanced a total of 10 wrestlers to the Region V Tournament, which begins Tuesday at the Hunterdon Central Field House. Harrison and Steve Zafrani (160) advance as the school's lone champions.

(2 of 3)

Gary Siriday (103), Anthony Geiger (112), Dan Bergfeldt (119), Noel Santiago (130), Patrick Ronan (140) and Ramon Santiago (152) all won titles for Sayreville.


Sam Emburgia (125), David Saley (145) and Mark Tyson (189) won titles for Monroe, which finished fourth as a team with 124 points.

South River's Adam Mongelli (135), the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler, South Brunswick's Brendan Vercammen (171) and North Brunswick's Sean Meagher (215) rounded out the district champions. South Brunswick's Joe Dougherty was named the District 20 Coach of the Year.

Vercammen, Tyson and Harrison were the only wrestlers without No. 1 seeds to win titles.

Harrison said the outcome of the team title, which appeared dicey toward the end, was never really in doubt.

"I personally was thinking that we were going to win it because we had a lot of kids in the finals," he said. "I think the team basically went in there with the confidence that we were going to pull away with it."

Harrison, whose team wrestled a brutal regular-season and tournament schedule, said he didn't think about his 10-14 record entering the championship round.

"I thought all my matches this year were all really close," he said, "so I considered that and said, you know what, I can win this tournament if I try."

Harrison said the emotion he felt after teammates and fans congratulated him for leading Old Bridge to the title was ineffable.

"It felt amazing," he said. "I came through for the team but never on something this big. I kept getting people shaking my hand. It felt great, just the feeling of happiness and all."

Team Scores: 1. Old Bridge 213; 2. Sayreville 202; 3. South Brunswick 137 1/2; 4. Monroe 124; 5. East Brunswick 58; 6. Spotswood 50; 7. WW-P South 47; 8. North Brunswick 45; 9. South River 33; 10. New Brunswick 22; 11. WW-P North 19.
