Wrestling: NJSIAA District 1 pairings, seeds

Pairings and seeds for the NJSIAA District 1 Tournament to be held Saturday at The Pit at Phillipsburg High School, this year's host site.

Wrestling begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday with the quarterfinals, followed by the semifinals at 1 p.m., third-place consolations at 4 p.m. and the championship finals to follow at 5:30. The top three finishers at each weight class advance to the Region 1 Tournament at Wallkill Valley.

There are seven former champions in this year's field -- Brandon Paetzell and Max Elling of Phillipsburg; Max Nauta and Andrew Pacheco of Warren Hills; Sam Button of Mendham and Jesse Windt of West Morris. North Warren's Matt Ritchie won a title in 2011.

Ritchie, who enters the tournament with 99 career wins, is attempting to join Kevin Brown (124-33 from 2006-10) as the only Patriots to reach the century mark.
