2020 Season Preview
Head Coach: Mike Mason (1st Season)
2019 Current Record: 11-14 / Shore Conference: 11-11 / B-North: 2-4
Sectionals: Did Not Qualify
5th Place District 19
5th Place B-North
23rd Place Shore Conference Tournament
Down Low (106-132): A strength here for certain as the Huskies return four starters and have some promising newcomers joining the ranks. Kamrin O'Neill has won 57 matches through his first two seasons. He was a District Champion last year, and was one round away from making the trip to Atlantic City. The Rubins, David and Lee, were both 2nd place finishers at the Districts, with David hitting the 30-win mark, while Lee finished at 27. Also back is Damiano Rotolo, a freshman starter last year, who will be looking to take the next step with the year's experience under his belt. There are promising freshmen in the mix here too. Keep an eye on Ricky Gomez, a multi-time State Qualifier at the intermediate level.
In The Middle (138-160): Three more starters return in the middle portion of the lineup. Junior Adam Coleman and senior Thomas Arendt, each are coming back off 18-win seasons, while David Quinlan is coming off a strong freshman run that saw him record 17 victories. There are a few new, young faces that will be looking to break into the lineup here as well, so Quinlan, Coleman, and Arendt provide a nice base to break them in around.
Up Top (170-Hwt): The numbers were thin up here a season ago, but the Huskies will have a pair of starters back in junior Ryan Calo, and sophomore Ahmed Hassan. Sophomore Jose Pereira and junior Elias Kouri did get a little experience last season, and will be looking to step up this year, while juniors Brandon McCormack and Nick Glende join the mix after successful seasons on the gridiron.
