2020 Season Preview

Down Low (106-132): The Mustangs are anchored down low by junior Harrison Gordon, who led the team in victories last season with 32, and won the D19 Championship. Back at 106 this season, he will be one of the top wrestlers in the Shore at that weight again this season. There is some good depth here as well with returning starters Andrew DiLiberto, Eric Schternfeld, and Gavin McQuade, as well as senior Vinny Franzone, and Brandon Bayer and Mike Bruno, who both received valuable experience as frosh last year. The potential is here for this to be a pretty tough group for the Mustangs.

In The Middle (138-160): The Mustangs have a pair of returning District runner-ups that could sandwich this group in junior Zach Vasile, and senior Edward Jang. They will be valuable bookends as the Mustangs break some young newcomers into the lineup, including a pair of promising freshmen in Trevor Perlow and Joe Rass.

Up Top (170-Hwt): Three starters return including seniors Adam Mirza and Jake Marchese, who can provide senior leadership for what is a pretty young lineup overall. Also back is Christian Steensen, who is coming off an impressive freshman season in the upperweights, recording 15 wins.

Marlboro is coming off a breakout season. While they were a very young team, they still managed to have their first winning year since 2011, set a program record for dual wins, placed 3rd in the District as a team, and qualified for the State Sectionals for the first time in program history. With a good portion of the team back, and the young wrestlers all being a year wiser and stronger, the Mustangs look to continue their winning ways. We can get a good look at how far along they have come on January 4th, as they take part in a big A-North quad at Long Branch along with Manalapan and Freehold Boro.
