2019-20 New Jersey High School Rankings

New Jersey High School Rankings: 120

The state’s toughest weight had one of the biggest shakeups of the season when Delbarton freshman Joe Davi knocked off Bergen Catholic’s three-time state placer and Princeton commit, Nick Kayal.

What a match that was.

With his team rolling at home, Davi wrestled by far his best match of the year in the biggest moment. After a scoreless first period, Davi used a late stall call to tie the match and force overtime. But he wanted more.

The freshman was fearless in the first overtime period, trying to rip a headlock early on, before showing ridiculous defense and athleticism fighting off a double-leg attempt on the edge that looked imminent. After all that, Davi showed true grit by riding out Kayal in the 30-second ultimate tiebreaker period to blow the roof off of the Delbarton gym and catapult his team to the 45-12 victory.

The addition of Davi to the top 10 is the only real change here.
