Breakdown: The matchups certainly favor Phillipsburg in this one. I rate the Stateliners as favorites at 106, 113, 132, 145, 160 (Moyer-Niemann), 170 or 182 (wherever Van Doren isn't), 195, 220 and 285. 'Liners also looking to get bonus points at 106, 113, 132, 145, 195 and 220. Friedman beat Marra, 10-2, Delmonico nipped Eichlin, 2-1, and Pierson majored Glorioso, 10-2, at Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex on Saturday. In turn, Pongracz beat Elling, 9-2, Derek Zehnbauer pinned Johnson and Van Doren teched Grade at HWS. Del Val is favored at 120, 126, 138 and wherever Van Doren goes. Bouts to watch are 152 (Eichlin-Delmonico) and possibly 170 (Zehnbauer-Grade). Del Val likes to move its better guys around, but P'burg is so balanced that it keeps the Terriers pretty locked in where they are strong. Barring a few upsets, I don't see this being all that close.

Prediction: Phillipsburg, 36-24.
