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.
