Warriors' Wrestlers Settle for Silver at Regionals

Watchung Hills set back by South Plainfield,

The Section 3 regionals wrapped up Saturday at Union High School, with four Watchung Hills Regional wrestlers moving into the final round—but ended up having to settle for second places in the tournaments, according to NJ.com.

First up after the final round started was Mike Carroccia (170 lbs.), who lost a 7-2 decision to Brearley's Joe Balboni.

South Plainfield's wrestlers proved to be the undoing for Watchung Hills. Troy Heilman, of South Plainfield, pinned Anthony DiRosa at 1:57 to take the 145 lbs. title, and Matt Coppola lost to Anthony Ashnault (pinned at 4:40).
