DISTRICT 20

at South Brunswick

Champions again: Monroe's David Saley (152) collected his fourth title to add to his crowns at 130, 135 and 145 pounds while teammate Sam Emburgia (135) earned his third consecutive title after winning at 119 in 2008 and 125 in 2009. Emburgia's teammate Marc Tyson (215) repeated as a champion after taking the title at 189 last winter. Sayreville's Gary Siriday repeated at 103 before teammate Anthony Geiger earned gold at 119 to add to his championship at 112 from 2009. South Brunswick's Brendan Vercammen repeated at 171. Conor Hayes (140), who took gold at 103 in 2008 but fell to Emburgia in the final at 125 last winter, collected his second career gold medal.

Outstanding Wrestler: Emburgia pinned his way through the tournament and concluded his run with a fall over Sayreville's Kyle Anderson in 1:17 in the final. Emburgia will graduate with three district championships and one silver medal, which he earned in a 9-4 loss in the title match to Conor Hayes of Old Bridge as a freshman.

Back Points: Fifth-seeded Nadrell McMillan of New Brunswick knocked off the defending heavyweight champion, Jerome Harrison of Old Bridge, and second-seeded Tyler Carlock of Sayreville to earn his first title. Nick Orak scored his first title after finishing second last season and Jamie Bond earned gold to propel Old Bridge to its third team title in four years. Hunter Pipala (160) and Kyle Jensen (125) combined with Saley, Emburgia and Tyson to give Monroe a tournament-high five winners.
