Wrestling: 'Liners-Streaks set for Pin Cancer clash

The fifth annual Pin Cancer match between Washington and Phillipsburg will be held on Thursday at Warren Hills School District Stadium. There will be approximately 10-12 junior high bouts starting at 6 p.m., with the high school match to follow.

Phillipsburg defeated Warren Hills, 42-14, when the teams met during the 2015-16 high school season at The Pit.

Phillipsburg won the four previous Pin Cancer matches, including a 40-24 victory last year at Maloney Stadium.

This year's event will feature three New Jersey state qualifiers in Washington's Cody Harrison (125) and Phillipsburg's Brian Meyer (155) and Robert Melise (220). A third qualifier, Washington's Jarod Ostir, will not compete due to injury.

Harrison (22-8) won a District 1 title and finished third in Region 1 last season at 106 pounds as a freshman. Ostir (16-9), who missed some time last season with an ankle injury, was a district champion and placed third in the region at 170 as a sophomore.

Meyer (33-10), who finished fourth in the Cadet National Freestyles at Fargo, N.D., won the district and region titles at 145 pounds, while Melise (40-3) captured the District 1 and Region 1 championships at 220. Melise, who will enter his senior season at 83-18 overall, finished second in the state tournament as a junior after placing fifth as a sophomore.
