The Rams finished 4th in the fifteen team Tournament held at Hall High school. Southington finished first followed by Newington and Conard. Matt Trelli (120 pounds), Nathaniel Gonzalez (160) and 195-pounder Cy McIntosh Made it to the finals but only Trelli claimed a Individual Championship.
The Central 120-pounder scored a 19-7 major decision over Conard’s Sam Mendal before needing just 1:42 to pin Southington’s Alex Richardson in the semifinals.
Trelli wasn’t satisfied with just reaching the finals. With a score midway through the third-period, Trelli took a 3-1 advantage and held on for the victory.
“Trelli is starting to come into his own and is starting to show that he can do some things,” Archibald said. “He’s been working hard and listens. He listens to what the coaches have to say and then goes out and there and does it.”
“Honestly, my expectations were to do a little better. But maybe that’s just what we are right now,” Archibald said. “But we had all but three or four kids place, and three guys make it to the finals, so I can’t complain about that.”
Zach Mastromarino (125), Tyler Burrow (132) and Connor Hayes (138) wrestled backed after losing in the Championship Round to all take third place.
The Rams are back in action on Wednesday at home against CCC South rival Platt.
