Warren Hills Regional High School is this year's host, as Phillipsburg will take its turn again in 2014. Mount Olive, which did a fine job of hosting a year ago, will have it again in 2015. Warren Hills has hosted a total of five times since 1996. Previously, the tournament was housed solely at Phillipsburg.
There are eight former champions in this year's field -- including two from 2011. Tyler Kozimor of Hackettstown (2010-11) and Nick Matthews of West Morris (2011-12) are attempting to become three-time champions.
The 2012 winners returning are: Phillipsburg's Zach Fisher, Steve Friedman and Andrew Kaluzny; Warren Hills' Joe Kratochvil and Belvidere's Evan Bray. North Warren's Matt Ritchie won a title in 2011.
Note: Two changes -- at 170, Hackettstown's Rafael Garcia is now the No. 7 seed and West Morris' Adam Kratch receives a bye. At 285, North Warren's Chris Longyhore is a scratch and Hackettstown's Miguel Garcia is the No. 7 seed. Belvidere's Ryan Appleby receives a bye.
