The Baymen Wrestling Team completed a successful season at the Nassau County Wrestling Championships held at Oyster Bay High School and Hofstra University.
Jack Leguelaff defended his title by winning the 103 lb Nassau County Championship for the second year in a row. Jack had a “tech fall” of his opponent in the final period of the match. A tech fall is when a wrestler defeats his opponent by 15 points. Jack won by a score of 15 to 0 and received the Most Valuable Wrestler Award for his outstanding performance in the tournament.
Cody Exum won his first Nassau County Championship at 140 lbs. Cody pinned all his opponents in the tournament. Jack and Cody went on to wrestle in the prestigious New York State Wrestling Championships in Albany, New York.
Ryan Arnel, Cassidy Exum, Vincent Catala and Dylan Rankin reached the tournament finals and earned All-County honors placing second. Isreal Gomez placed third earning All-County honors as well. Pat Burke, Jon Escobar, Matt LoRusso and Dan Velesquez became All-Conference placing fourth. The Baymen scored 180 points to earn the runner-up trophy for the third year in a row.
With a young and small team, the Baymen had a very successful season. Jack Leguelaff led the Baymen with four individual tournament championships and an undefeated regular season record. Ryan Arnel won two individual championship tournaments. The team achieved a 4 – 1 league record finishing runner-up in League IV B. Other team members contributing to our success this season were; Ian Estevez, Alex Galizia, Elton Gonzalez, James Mon, Anthony Panella, Mikey Schuler and Jake Tritthart. The Wrestling Team is coached by Jay Davis, Doug Axman and Rob Piscitello.
