CNYWrestling.com - The Home of Central New York Wrestling

Records go out the window when pride and bragging rights are on the line. On Wednesday night, Adirondack treks to Holland Patent for the 2012 edition of the Mohawk Valleys best rivalry.

The Wildcats got tripped up by Central Square in the first round of the Section III Duals in a match that went down to nearly the last bout. Fourth-seeded Holland Patent got blitzed by South Jefferson going down 26-0 before mounting a furious comeback.

But this one is all about bragging rights. These two have put on some classic matches in recent years. The Golden Knights got the six point road win last year and the 'Cats would surely like to return the favor in the Holland Patent gym.

Potential Key Matchups:
- Hunter Richard (HP) vs Ryan O'Rourke (Adr)
- Todd Stevens (HP) vs Tyler Spann (Adr)
- Matt Grogan (HP) vs Devin Reigler

PREDICTION: HOLLAND PATENT by 14

With League Championships scheduled for the weekend, there are very few duals taking place this week in Section IV. One of them however, pits two of the top Division 2 teams in a rematch of a semi-final bout from the Section IV Dual Meet Championships when the Black Knights of Windsor seek revenge over the Trojans of Greene.

Greene (8-2), currently ranked #6 by the NYSSWA among small schools, defeated Windsor 52-29 to advance to the finals, where they fell to D1 power Union-Endicott. Greene’s strength comes in the upper weights which include sectional champion Keegan Cerwinski (182), along with sectional place winners Dan Dickman (145), Mike Beckwith (152) and Kyle Stanton (220).

Windsor (8-2) defeated a tough Vestal team before falling to Greene in the tournament. The Black Knights currently stand atop the STAC East Division and are led by senior captains Jessy Williams (132) and Jesse Angevine (195), along with sophomore talent Nate Hayes (113).

Greene gives up a couple of forfeits but Windsor, having holes in their line-up, can’t make up ground. Match-ups didn’t favor Windsor the first time around and I don’t believe they have the depth to make too many adjustments. The Trojan wrestlers win several matches with bonus points and Greene finishes their dual meet season with a big victory in their own gym.
