wow...terrible officiating...several bonehead calls that lead to the lesser wrestler winning. There is always the saying that if you do what you need to, you take the match out of the officials hands. That kid wrestled his arse off, and got robbed.
Curcio really won this match. It was a 4-2 swing it should have been 9 to 5 at the end of the first. And he wasnt stalling at the end he was trying to get wrist control. the croud just got into the refs head. Ant will be back this year.
Kirchner's road was just as tough as Morano's. He defeated Chalkley (32-0), 2x State Champion Trause and dominated and Pinned Jordan Beverlly who Morano beat in OT. Finally Kirchner defeated the top-seed in the finals. He earned it.
Kirchner and Morano had a tight match at Caldwell. The score was 7-4 when Kirchner went for a late throw and go caught on his back. It also shows how much Kirchner improved this season.
mornao from toms river north majored jimmy kirchner at caldwell. suck for morano because he wins this first region title and then has fusco in the pre-quarters
125 wasnt bad this year trause who came in 2nd at beast of the easty beating other state champs didnt even gewt to the finals neither did fusco who placed at nationals
NO where near NJ, Ohio, and Pa. Illionois right behind Cal, go stare at pictures of your heart throb Poeta, he's the only legit thing to come out of that state.
This match is awesome. you can say this guy Kirchner is sloppy WHATEVER. but he has HEART. he never quit! thats more important than talent. HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT DOESNT WORK HARD! He is an upset king. something ALOTTA colleges wouldnt mind to have on their rosters...
it's true, we got more divisions and more state champs here than jersey has toll booths. the only real state with the toughest tournament is jersey, hats off to you guys.
wow, you guys out east oughtta roll a dooby and catch a wave or play some beach volley ball like we do out here. i can't imagine anyone in our whole state ever beating one of your guys...peace out.
Pa and Ohio isn't better. You have more than one division for states. New Jersey has no double or triple A everyone is in the same. You can be from a school with 100 kids in it in NJ and wrestle someone from a school with 2000 in it in states. You are the absolute best in the state when you win the state hear. In Pa, theres more than one state champ which is garbage as well as Ohio. Pa and Ohio are very tough but its more of an accomplishment to win states in NJ.
yea im from jersey the PA guy is right somewhat...jerseys talent is still one of the best and always will be but its starting to fall behind PA and ohio..california isnt as good as us they just have the number one recuit in the nation that doesnt make them an all around better state...whoever said ur clinton..ur a fAggot
Yo!! Anthony, u did ur best and at least u came second place!!! Congratulation!!! I know that u gave ur 100% and I thank u for that!! May God Bless You!!!!!!!!!
NJ has the 2nd toughest tourney behind CA???? Are you serious????? PA and Ohio are and have been the best state tournaments in the country....NJ has a lot of talent but not the same depth as Ohio adn PA. Thats a fact....look at the three Div in college. PA and Ohio lead the contigency of AllAmericans by a boat load.
First off, NJ has some very talented wrestlers like a lot of states. So, let's not try to say this kid wouldn't win it in another state. Who cares!!! He has something on his resume that some people don't...STATE CHAMP!!!! Congratulations!!
any pu$$y who takes a bs injury timeout deserves to get beat like that. the kid with more heart definitely won. very entertaining match by both wrestlers.
That was an amazing match. I beleive either of these wrestlers deserved to win. Bogus stalling call, but a bogus injury time out. Congrats. This is what wrestling is supposed to be about. I had the pleasure of working with one of the greats Cael Sanderson and he basically told me. Well if i give up points trying to score i guess i might as well score more points. Great Match
Anyone who thought the kid in the blue deserved to win this match needs to put their glasses on and take a look back to the injury timeout he took. Where was he hurt? Tough to tape his lungs...
Great match. That's wrasslin'. The TD/Reversal call at the end of regulation was horrible--thankfully this kid had enough heart to win the match twice! The stall was a good call.
Definitely the best match of the finals! Isn't outstanding wrestler (OW) for the outstanding performance in the state tournament? He had an outstanding performance!
love that kids slide-by, it seems like so many guys have no takedown attack other than sinlge or double, I know it limited my versatility as a wrestler.
buddy you obviously have a lot to learn just b/c a team is ranked nationally doesnt mean their wresters are too a team can win states and have no state placers. My freshman year we lost in the last round of states to Kittanttinny and not one kid even went to states
one of the most exciting matches i've ever witnessed. I will say that it was poorly officiated with some quick calls. The first 5 point move of the match--both guys were out of bounds and it should have never happened. In the end, the right kid won the match. Well done.
I agree both would get beat in ohio but I dont believe their sloppy on bottom, just in bad shape. Ohio wrestlers have more college type style and conditioning to them is all
i wrestled with jimmy for half the season and hes got the worst cauliflower ear. he isnt the most technical wrestler, but he uses alot of strength and scrambling. During the season, he lost to wrede and i didnt think he was going to get anywhere in states. but i guess he pulled out a miracle and did it. maybe the last two years he choked at states but you know what he is one of the nicest kids and he deserved the win.
no doubt winston is the best there but deffinitely NOT most outstanding he had no competition it was obvious he would take the title he didnt show us anything we didnt know and he got OW last year so it should have been Kirchners turn because that may never happen again mad props to the kid
that injury timeout was pathetic. wrestling is supposed to be nonstop action and he didnt event TRY to make it look like he was injured. he just sat there like a little girl who just got her first period. he deserved to lose.
He did not win Outstanding Wresting because he was not the most outstanding wrestler in the tournament. Everybody knows Winston was the best wrestler in that gym.
yo dont be dissin jimmy. he's got more heart than anybody else on our team and has led us to so many victories by his pin, tech or even win. thats what ville wrestlin is all about. good match. peace!
He was the epitome of what "wrestling big in a big time event" is all about. One of the most exciting matches I have ever seen and probably the most exciting 4 bouts a wrestler could put together in A.C. SW is one of NJ's all-time greats and deserves all accolades... but O.W. was Kirchner
yea no1 really compares to Winston but Trumbetti is pretty close he was just unfortunate to get injured a lot.. tough kid though i wish he had a chance to take first in the state Jimmy Kirchner was deffinitely the most exciting wrestler in this tournament though i was rooting him on from round 1
yea trause was a fluke hes not that good dont get me wrong hes a great wrestler but deffinitely didnt deserve to win states thankyou jimmy kirchner and the only time trumbetti didnt wrestle was when he broke his neck hes up there with the dan valmonts scott winstons look out for his brother taylor next year
agreed the stall meant nothing Kirchner is an exciting wrestler and yes john trumbetti would destroy everyone in this tournament trause got lucky and john had to deal with injuries every year and still wrestled unlike trause who pussied out against fusco
anyone who says the stall determined the match is out of their minds if you arent wrestling your opponent cant do anything everyone in the crowd wanted the stall call and Kirchner got it he deserves state champ and Winston should get OW he just should not have gotten it last year they did the same thing with mike grey
I would be a fool to say scott winston is not an outstanding wrestler. More importantly he is a gentleman and shows great sportsmenship. Jim kirchner does as well. Jimmy was by far the OW bad choice look who he beat to win
that was awesome match... the somerville kid got ripped on the last takedown in regulation... the match shouldn't have went into OT... some premature calls by the ref if you ask me...
you don't see too many matches more exciting than this one. definately one of the most exciting state finals in a long time and the most exciting today. OW = Kirchner
That was a BS call for stalling especially during a scramble. Kid in blue got ripped off. Was a good match between the wrestlers. Too bad ref determined the match.
Might as well not even have the OW award if they are going to that with it.Should have just given SW the award Friday night,JK deserved it by far the best match of the night
Anthony Curcio (Washington Twp) v Jimmy Kirchner (Somerville)

I'm Bill Clinton, and I support this message.
