07/02/09 NJWT BLOG: "D's Opinions are Mine"
Here we go. Long Branch has been moved to District 22 effective immediately. That is good news for LB and bad news for the rest of District 22. It is also good news for the rest of District 23. They used to redistrict about every five years. The idea was to try to keep a balance of good programs and not have a district be overloaded nor underloaded. There has been very little movement since 1991. Too much time has gone by. District 23 was dominated by Brick Memorial for many years. After Jay Nase arrived at Wall they started to make waves. The resurgence of Long Branch along with an always competive Point Boro made 23 a stacked district. The same could not be said for 22. Ocean Township had a good run. Raritan has been steady. That was about it. Moving a few teams to balance out a district is necessary. You can find an argument against any move. You can use geography, size of school, etc. The vote FOR the LB move was 13-1. That pretty much tells you it was the right move. I think District 24 should be tweaked. Realistically Southern and Barnegat should head to District 32 but I don't think Gami and St. Augustine would be too keen on that. I'm sure that the Toms River schools wouldn't be shedding any tears if Southern was gone. Back in 1991 when Brick Memorial was moved to 23 along with Brick Township the rest of 24 was glad to see them go. One of the schools from 23 protested the move to no avail. It was done to balance some of the talent. I think they should scrap the District Team Championship and allow the Districts to be an individual competition only. If anyone has a need to figure out which "team" won, it is easily done. ANY change will have someone thinking they got screwed. ANY change for the betterment of the sport and the majority should be embraced. Moving LB to 22 is the right thing to do. Denny D

07/12/09 NJWT will be posting videos from the Adam Frey Clinics & Matches
As posted on TheShoreConference.com
On Sunday, July 12th at Rider University there will be a New Jersey Wrestles Against Cancer benefit for Adam Frey. For those that don't know Adam, he was a standout wrestler at Blair Academy and went on to wrestle at Cornell University. In March of 2008 it was discovered that Adam had cancer on his liver, his lung, and between his kidneys. Every day since, Adam has done what a wrestler does... he has fought!
The benefit on the 12th will help raise funds for Adam as he continues to battle the cancer. In addition to an all day BBQ and prize raffles there will be, of course, wrestling. At 1:00pm there will be a clinic featuring Rider assistants John Hangey and Jason Nase, Rutgers assistants Frank Edgar and Cory Cooperman, as well as Jeff Buxton (Blair Academy head coach), Dave Esposito (Edge / 2X All-American at Lehigh), Hudson Taylor (2X AA at Maryland), Kellen Russell (AA at Michigan), and Zach Tanelli (AA at Wisconsin).
