Wrestling: Thirteen HWS teams qualify for sectionals

The seeds for the NJSIAA sectional tournaments -- which will be made official on Friday -- were released on Thursday. Action begins on Monday, Feb. 9, with first-round matches between Nos. 5 vs. 4 and Nos. 3 vs. 6. The top two seeds receive first-round byes, unless there are seven teams in that section, then a No. 2 will host a No. 7, with only a No. 1 getting a bye.

Sectional semifinals will be held Wednesday, Feb. 11, with the finals are slated for Friday, Feb. 13. The Group championships will be contested on Sunday, Feb. 15 at Trenton.

In all, six teams from the Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex area earned No. 1 seeds in their respective sections -- Lenape Valley (North 1, Group 2), North Hunterdon (North 2, Group 5), Phillipsburg (North 2, Group 4), Voorhees (North 2, Group 3), Hunterdon Central (Central, Group 5) and Delaware Valley (Central, Group 2).

The other locals to qualify are: Kittatinny (North 1, Group 2), High Point (North 1, Group 2), Newton (North 1, Group 1), Sparta (North 1, Group 3), Warren Hills (North 2, Group 3), Hackettstown (North 2, Group 2) and Belvidere (North 2, Group 1).

Longtime rivals High Point and Kittatinny were scheduled to match up on Friday in a regular-season clash, but that one was cancelled in light of Monday's first-round meeting as the Nos. 6 and 3 seeds in North 1, Group 2. The Wildcats have won the last two Group 2 titles.

Belvidere, Delaware Valley and Sparta are looking to end long droughts in the postseason.

The County Seaters, a No. 6 seed, are seeking their sixth sectional title and first since 2002, while the Terriers are aiming for the program's 15th sectional title and first since '06. Every other school in the Hunterdon-Warren area has won at least one sectional championship since '07.

The Spartans have won two titles in their history -- 1983 (North 1, Group 2) and 2000 (North 1, Group 3).

P'burg leads all Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex teams with 33 championships, followed by High Point (24), Kittatinny and Hunterdon Central (19), Voorhees (15), Delaware Valley (14), North Hunterdon (13), Pope John (7), and Belvidere and Warren Hills (5) rounding out the top 10.
