Notes: Scoreless first periods for Paetzell-Schade and O'Shea-Sisco. Paetzell escapes, 1-0. Has taken several shots but zero points. Paetzell finally converts a takedown with 43 seconds left, 3-0. O'Shea gets a reversal with a Peterson, no backs, leads 2-0 after two. Both heading to the third period. Schade escapes, but Paetzell gets his second takedown, he leads, 5-1. Sisco nearly had a reversal on the other mat. He's real good on the mat. Paetzell ices it with his third takedown with about 10 seconds left. He's the fourth Stateliners freshman to win 30 in a season -- joining Pete Poretta (31 in 1991), Rylan Watson (32 in 2008) and Jimmy Schuitema (31 in 2012).
Kui catches Caserta for five with about 35 seconds left in the first period. Reversal at the end of the first and an escape to start the second for Caserta, who trails 5-3. That reversal was huge. Kui locks up a cradle for a takedown and Caserta hips up and sticks him for the defensive FALL! Gallo up, 4-0, in the third period.

Notes: Damon up 7-0 in the second period. Used a tight half to get backs in the first period, nearly had the pin. Fisher with the opening takedown. Luciano and Fisher did not meet at D1 over the weekend. Fisher with the cradle gets the FALL! Nauta with the quick takedown. He beat Silva, 4-0, in the Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex semifinals. Silva escapes with seven seconds left in the period. Silva on bottom to start the second period. Nauta up, 2-1, after two and going down to start the third. He's out quickly, 3-1. Silva in but Nauta so funky, gets the takedown and two backs.

Notes: Kobis in a tight one, he leads, 1-0, in the third. They're on their feet. Lipari closing in on a fourth win over Spaziani. Kobis wins it, 1-0. He's three wins shy of matching Nick Francavilla's freshman record of 39 wins in 2007-08. Hrycak leads Ritchie, 4-2, in the second. Fleming up, 1-0, in the second. LaFranco out in the third, 1-1, it's a battle. Hrycak had a takedown waived off and Ritchie nearly had one of his own at the buzzer, but no dice. Fleming up, 3-2, with 18 seconds left. Wow, Fleming nearly done in by his own move -- a headlock -- in the closing seconds, but hangs on and gets two at the buzzer.

Tareky up, 7-2, on Rothman. Johnson on bottom. Another reversal after Derin nearly had backs with a mousetrap. Derin with a reversal, 4-4. Derin hasn't been pushed like this in awhile. Reversal for Johnson, almost locked up a Peterson. Johnson up, 6-4, after two. Both guys look spent. Derin escapes early in the third, gets a takedown to go up, 7-6. Johnson with another reversal, 8-7, 1:11 left. Derin reversal into a cradle with 35 -- backs coming. Wow what a match!

Notes: Artigliere wastes no time with the quick pin of Popek, who was involved in that controversial bout on Wednesday, where he was awarded a stall point at the buzzer to tie it against Lenape Valley's Joe LaBell. Popek got the takedown in sudden victory for the win. Kocsis up, 10-2, in the third. Sickles puts Carey to his back with 35 seconds to go in the third. Sickles leads, 5-1 with three backs coming.
All the 1s, 2,s and 3s, are through so far. Only three 5s and one 6 have won tonight through all but this last bout at 160 between Button and Yasin. District 1 has 13 through to the semis, followed by D2 with 10, D3 with 9 and D4 with 4.

2-Sr. Parker Meytrott (37-1, D2-1), Montville, p. 7-Sr. Adam Kratch (31-8, D1-2), West Morris, 2:24.
Notes: Scary scene as Porraspita looked to be out cold after Gerrity, who is up, 5-1, got the takedown. A slam was not called. He's OK and they continue. Joe Kopesky of P'burg hits the 50-50 ($629). Good for him. Bupivi up, 16-2, in the third -- looking real tough. Zimmerman up 7-4 in the third -- good battle. Bupivi is Open Mike's choice for third at this weight.
Meytrott with the opening takedown. Tough matchups tonight for West Morris, which started with nine in the quarters and has gone 3-5 tonight.

Notes: Sutton hits a throw for a takedown, but Brook is out of bounds so no back points. Crowd hisses. Brook has rebounded for an 8-3 lead in the third period. Bray with the opening takedown, 2-0. He cuts Fazio loose. Bray real good on his feet. Brook with the FALL! Bray leads, 4-1, after one period. Bray takes neutral in the second, gets his third takedown, 6-1. Bray with his fourth takedown late, 8-2, after two periods. No contest on their feet. Fazio takes top -- why not? Bray escapes, 9-2. Bray looking for a fifth takedown. He gets it, 11-2 with 35 to go.
Sibblies-DePalma should be a good one. DePalma gets the opening takedown at the edge, 2-0. Sibblies, whose father, Ted, was a state runner-up in 1989 for the Braves, escapes, 2-1, with 30 seconds left. Sibblies on bottom to start the second period. He's out right away, 2-2.

McDonnell seemingly in control, up, 5-2, in the second, but Walker gets the reversal to make it 5-4. McDonnell escapes in the third, he leads, 8-6, but gets taken down, it's tied at 8. We go to OT. McDonnell nearly gave up two, but got the takedown to win it! Wow, he led, 5-2, in regulation at one point. High Point gets 6 of 11 through to the semis.
