Wrestling: Klass out at Paramus before HP quad

With a tremendous day of wrestling looming this weekend comes stunning news out of Paramus as Steve Klass is apparently no longer its head coach. NorthJersey.com was the first to report that Klass was relieved of his duties on Tuesday.

Reasons for Klass' dismissal were not immediately known and an email from Open Mike seeking confirmation was not returned. Klass, a former Pennsylvania Class AA state runner-up for Wilson Area High School, is the second head coach in Region 2 to lose his job this season. Chris Bitetto, a former New Jersey state champion, recently resigned at Don Bosco Prep, ranked No. 3 in the New Jersey Wrestling Writers Top 20.

Paramus and Cranford, ranked No. 5 and 20, respectively, by the NJ Writers, and unranked Warren Hills are heading to High Point on Saturday for an independent quad. Wrestling starts at 10 a.m. in Wantage.

Klass, who guided Paramus to six sectional finals appearances and the North 1, Group 3 title last season, was in his ninth season at the helm. The Spartans finished as the Group 3 runner-up last season, and defeated Sparta, 29-24, in the sectional final.

Paramus (10-3) is currently the top seed in the North 1, Group 3 sectional power points standings. Additionally, there is an online petition to save Klass' coaching job, stating he is being asked to resign, though it is not clear when that petition was created. Klass recently said during a weekly wrestling show on NorthJerseysports.com that not everyone was happy with his coaching methods, including some alumni.

"There's still a push back even this year with the schedule and some of the schools I'm wrestling -- a few of the old-timers and a few people in the school ... why you wrestling out of the area?" said Klass, who served as an assistant coach at his alma mater under Dave Crowell, now the coach at Nazareth and a Lehigh Valley legend who is regarded by some as the best high school coach in the nation.

"I want state champs. If I have a kid who's undefeated, I think I didn't do my job. It's my job to have my best kids and put them against the best kids in the country. And if they're undefeated at the end of the year, they better be ranked top five in the country. Not everyone views it that way, but I do.

"And I'm also fortunate enough to have kids who can compete with those [national] teams. I would take a different view if I didn't have the kids. At some point, I'm a public school so it kind of cycles. I may have to pull back on the schedule a year or two from now or in a few years and build back up to it. It's not always the plan, but when I have the kids, I need to challenge them. I don't do the kids justice if I'm putting them into regionals undefeated and they lose first or second round."

Shore about weigh-ins?

A recent report in the Asbury Park Press sparked some debate this week when it was learned that a National Federation rule mandates that wrestlers competing in a multi-day team tournament with advancement to a championship must weigh in at the same weight class for all matches.

For example, if you check in at 108 (two-pound allowance in effect) on the first day, you must weigh in at the 108-pound class for the remainder of the tournament. Apparently, this rule was ignored in previous Shore Conference Tournaments.

"In the past we were not following the Federation rule," NJSIAA rules interpreter Roy Dragon said in a phone conversation on Tuesday. "If you weigh in at 108 the first day, but not the second day, you are ineligible."

This rule, however, does not apply to the upcoming sectional and group championships. There is a waiver in the Federation handbook that leaves it up to the state associations as how it wants to handle those weigh in procedures.

Wrestling: Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex rankings

We are heading into the home stretch as far as the dual meet season is concerned with just two more sets of power points to be released before the postseason gets underway on Monday, Feb. 8.

Kittatinny should secure the top seed in North 1, Group 1, while Phillipsburg will undoubtedly be No. 1 in North 2, Group 4. Delaware Valley and High Point still have a shot at earning the No. 1 seeds in Central Jersey, Group 2 and North 2, Group 2, respectively.

The Terriers (8-4) stood third with 26.40 points in last week's rankings behind Raritan (29.20) and Point Pleasant Boro (26.90) , and just ahead of Robbinsville and Middlesex/Dunellen (26.10).

Del Val vs. Raritan is one of the best postseason rivalries around as the teams have met 10 times in the sectional playoffs dating to 1998. The Terriers hold a 7-5 edge in the series (including a 31-27 and 31-30 road losses in regular season matches) and defeated the Rockets, 31-30, in last year's sectional final, the fifth time they've met for the championship. Having the home-gym advantage could be huge if a rematch occurs in just over two weeks.

High Point (8-3), with 27 points, was fourth in its section as of last week's rankings behind Emerson-Park Ridge (28.80), Jefferson (28.50) and Pascack Hills (27.14).

Speaking of Jefferson, 'Cats coach John Gardner joined the 300-win club with his team's 38-30 win over the Falcons on Wednesday. Only Kittatinny's John Gill (524 and counting), Hunterdon Central's Russ Riegel (469) and Steve Gibble (348), Rick Thompson (345 wins with Mountain High, Phillipsburg, Hackettstown, Voorhees and Franklin) and Voorhees' Bob Hall (332) have amassed more wins in the Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex area.

This week's power points should be released on Tuesday afternoon, so check back here for an update. Now, let's check out this week's area rankings:

1. Phillipsburg (8-2) -- Stateliners gearing up for a big week after Skyland Conference Raritan Division wins over Bound Brook (36-30 on Wednesday) and North Hunterdon (35-22 on Thursday). Coach Dave Post's team can clinch the division title with road victories over Hunterdon Central (Wednesday) and Warren Hills (Friday). Getting healthy is key for the Liners, who are still without seniors Tom Kosar (120) and Brandon Paetzell (132). Junior Drew Horun (195) also missed last week's matches.

Up next: at Hunterdon Central on Wednesday; at Warren Hills on Friday; Southern at home on Saturday.

2. Hunterdon Central (9-1) -- Red Devils opened last week with a 40-20 waxing of No. 4 Warren Hills at home and closed with a spirited 33-27 win at Delaware Valley. Hunter Graf posted an 8-7 win over Kyle Wulff -- in a battle of tough sophomores -- in the win over the Blue Streaks. Freshman Vincent Romaniello (12-7) scored a key 9-6 win over Matt Kolonia, a Region 5 fourth-place finisher, in the next to last bout at 132 to help secure the victory over the Terriers. A win over Voorhees on Friday would give coach Jon Cantagallo-Rohm's team a sweep of the county.

Up next: Phillipsburg at home on Wednesday; at Voorhees on Friday; Jackson Liberty at Kingsway on Saturday.

3. Kittatinny (9-0) -- Cougars stayed unbeaten with lopsided victories over Hopatcong (78-0 on Wednesday) and Jefferson (48-15 on Friday). Senior Nick Klinger (18-1) earned win No. 95 -- a 6-4 decision over Jefferson junior Mark Bohn in a battle of Region 1 qualifiers. Senior Austin Scrivani (17-1) needs one more win to secure 10th place on the school's all-time list. He enters the week tied with former two-time state champions Roman Fleszar and Steve Dalling at 113 victories. Coach John Gill's team can officially clinch the NJAC Colonial Division title on Wednesday.

Up next: at Wallkill Valley on Wednesday; at Sparta on Friday; Teaneck and Hackensack at Garfield on Saturday.

4. Warren Hills (5-3) -- Blue Streaks still clinging to this spot, but have been hampered by injuries in recent weeks. Junior Zach Nauta (138) and sophomore Jarod Ostir (160) are out, while senior Kurt Nemeth (195) missed Wednesday's 40-20 loss to Hunterdon Central. Coach Jarrett Hosbach's team will go for that elusive 700th win for the program on Wednesday night in an always intriguing matchup against North Hunterdon, Hosbach, along with Lions coaches Tim Flynn and Jason Hawk is a former Phillipsburg wrestler. Speaking of the Liners, they come to Washington on Friday.

Up next: at North Hunterdon on Wednesday; Phillipsburg at home on Friday; Cranford and Paramus at High Point on Saturday.

5. Delaware Valley (8-4) -- Terriers still smarting from a 33-27 loss to No. 2 Hunterdon Central on Friday on Gold Rush night in Alexandria Township. Sophomore Kyle Lightner (8-1 at 182), who recently returned to the lineup, turned heads with an impressive 14-10 win over Michael Iodice, a Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex champion at 170. Coach Andy Fitz's team opened last week with a 53-27 thumping of Voorhees in a Hunterdon County rivalry match -- win No. 717 for the program.

Up next: at West Morris on Monday; at North Hunterdon on Friday.

6. High Point (8-3) -- Wildcats rolled past Hasbrouck Heights (48-23) in an independent clash last Tuesday and gave coach John Gardner his 300th career win -- 38-30 over Jefferson on Thursday. Gardner is just the sixth coach in the Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex area to amass 300 victories. Sophomore Shane Kobis (15-7) and senior Jared Kobis (14-0) won by pin and technical fall, respectively, while sophomore Rob Turro's pin at 160 pounds sealed the win over Jefferson. A victory on Monday night secures the NJAC Freedom Division title.

Up next: at Hackettstown on Monday; at Mount Olive on Tuesday; at Newton on Friday; Cranford, Paramus and Warren Hills at home on Saturday.

7. Pope John (9-2) -- Lions took a major step toward claiming the program's first conference title since 1986 with a 39-21 road victory over crosstown rival Sparta in an NJAC American Divison matchup. Coach Mark Piotrowsky's team can clinch with a win at Morris Hills on Wednesday. Sophomore James Swentzel (11-8) turned the match against the Spartans with his pin at 160 after trailing, 3-0, to start the the third period. Sophomore Jake Rotunda (20-2), a Region 1 finalist, improved to 4-0 all-time vs. Garrett Gerndt, a two-time District 3 finalist, with a 6-1 win at 120.

Up next: at Morris Hills on Wednesday.

8. Lenape Valley (7-4) -- Despite five starters out for the season, the Patriots remained on track by opening last week with a 48-25 win over Hackettstown in an NJAC Freedom Division matchup on Wednesday before victories over Morris Knolls (38-15) and Mount Olive (33-30) on Friday. Senior Sam Palumbo (20-1 at 195) scored a notable 7-4 decision over Morris Knolls' Luke Drugac, who finished third in Region 1 last season, while coach Doug Vetter's team secured second place in the division with the win over Hackettstown.

Up next: at Pequannock on Tuesday; South Plainfield at home on Wednesday; Hopatcong and West Milford at Sparta on Saturday.

9. Sparta (8-5) -- Spartans were all fired up for their showdown with No. 7 Pope John, but a 39-21 loss likely cost coach Frank Battaglia's team a second straight NJAC American Division title. Senior Al Falco (19-4) won a 5-2 decision over Joe Frumolt in a good matchup at 170 and Falco got his 80th career win via a forfeit in the team's 30-28 loss to Montville on Friday. Junior Zach Herbert (13-3) scored a 2-0 win over Liridon Leka at 220.

Up next: at Vernon on Wednesday; Kittatinny at home on Friday; Hopatcong, Lenape Valley and West Milford at home on Saturday.

10. North Hunterdon (2-7) -- In their only action last week, the Lions dropped a 35-22 decision to Phillipsburg in a Skyland Conference Raritan Division clash. Senior Carmine Ricciardi (11-6) scored a notable 2-1 win over Dan Fisher, the Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex runner-up at 182. Senior Derek Ciavarro (9-1 at 160) is one win shy of 70 for his career.

Up next: Warren Hills at home on Wednesday; Delaware Valley at home on Friday.

NJAC division alignments for 2016-18 seasons

Well, here we go again. Conference realignments. I can only equate this annual two-year shakeup with that of having a root canal.

The absurdity of it all never ceases to amaze. Here's hoping the madness ends and we go back to the old Sussex County Interscholastic League. Well, one can dream it any way.

But if you talk with most wrestling coaches, they'd sign up for the old tomorrow.

"I wish we'd go back to the bigger conferences," said Newton coach Eric Bollette, a Kittatinny graduate and former wrestler. "I liked the SCIL or even the first year of the NJAC when there were eight teams. Now, we have four league bouts.

"However, I am more excited about my conference [moving from the Colonial Division to the Freedom] as opposed to my conference the last three years. Having to wrestle Kittatinny as an independent will be odd."

Newton replaces Jefferson, which moves to the American Division and trades places with Vernon, while the rest of the Freedom Division stays intact.

Kittatinny essentially becomes the overwhelming favorite to win the Colonial Division title as long as the current format exists. Sussex Tech dropped its wrestling program after the 2004-05 season, leaving just three other schools -- Hopatcong, North Warren and Wallkill Valley in the Colonial.

High Point (Freedom), Pope John (American) and Kittatinny (Colonial) are currently in the driver's seat for division titles in wrestling. High Point captured the first five American titles until moving to the Freedom last season, which was won by Lenape Valley. Pope John has clinched at least a share of its first conference title since 1986, when the Lions captured their second and last SCIL crown -- a share with Jefferson.

Here is how the seven divisions will look in all sports except football for 2016-17 and 2017-18:

Gardner gets 300; Newton set for Jack Welch Duals

John Gardner joined some elite company on Wednesday night, and as expected, was rather subdued about hitting another coaching milestone. The main thing for the longtime High Point coach is that his team earned an important divisional win.

After collecting victory No. 299 on Tuesday night -- 48-23 over Hasbrouck Heights in an independent matchup in Wantage -- Gardner joined the 300-win club as High Point earned a 38-30 victory over Jefferson in an NJAC Freedom Division clash in Jefferson Township.

"It was cool. It was nice," said Gardner after his team's victory on Wednesday night during a phone conversation.

Gardner now stands at 300-89-2 in 18 seasons at his alma mater, where he won a state title in 1990 at 189 pounds before going on to wrestle at Clemson University. He's also one of just four wrestlers to win four Region 1 titles (known as Region 4 when he competed from 1987-90).

Only Kittatinny's John Gill (523 and counting), Hunterdon Central's Russ Riegel (469) and Steve Gibble (348), Rick Thompson (345 wins with Mountain High, Phillipsburg, Hackettstown, Voorhees and Franklin) and Voorhees' Bob Hall (332) have amassed more coaching wins than Gardner in the Hunterdon-Warren-Sussex area.

More importantly, the 'Cats (8-3, 2-0 division) can claim their first Freedom Division title outright with a victory at Hackettstown on Monday. Lenape Valley, which dropped a 28-27 decision to High Point on Jan. 6, is 2-1 in the four-school division. Jefferson dropped to 11-4, 1-2.

Gardner, who surpassed his former coach Jeff Hull (288-104-4 in 27 seasons) last season for most wins at High Point, scored his 200th win against Vernon -- 64-12 at home on Jan, 21, 2010 -- nearly six years ago to the day he got No. 300.

Braves withdraw from Jack Welch

With the impending forecast of a blizzard in some parts of New Jersey starting Friday night, Newton cancelled its plans to attend the Jack Welch Duals at Moorestown High School this weekend.

Newton (5-8), was slated to be the only local team in the tournament, drawing the No. 14 seed, but the Braves had to withdraw due to weather concerns on Friday morning. Coach Eric Bollette's teams had finished second twice in eight previous appearances at the duals.

Christian Brothers Academy, ranked No. 13 by the NJ Wrestling Writers Association, was the No. 1 seed, but the Shore Conference school withdrew from the event on Thursday night. Long Branch, another Shore team, moved up to the top seed, while Williamstown replaced CBA in the field.

Pairings and seeds for Friday's opening round (updated Thursday night):

Pool 1

1-Long Branch vs. 16-Riverside
8-Buena vs. 9-Cherokee

Wrestling: Gardner closing in on 300 wins milestone

John Gardner could not care less about his coaching record -- albeit an outstanding one -- at his alma mater.

In fact, the longtime High Point coach doesn't have the slightest clue about the impressive numbers until someone points them out. Case in point was in the offseason when Gardner learned he was nearing 300 wins.

High Point delivered No. 299 on Tuesday night -- 48-23 over Hasbrouck Heights in an independent matchup in Wantage. Gardner, who now stands at 299-89-2 in 18 seasons, will go for No. 300 at Jefferson on Wednesday night.

In addition, the 'Cats (7-3) can take another step toward clinching the NJAC Freedom Division title with a victory. High Point, which beat Lenape Valley, 28-27, on  Jan. 6, will travel to Hackettstown for its third and final division match on Wednesday, Jan. 27.

"It's great. I'm glad we have great kids, fans and parents who care about [the milestone]. But it's not why I got into [coaching]," said Gardner, who surpassed his former coach Jeff Hull (288-104-4 in 27 seasons) last season for most wins at High Point.

Gardner, who could have easily padded the schedule a year ago when the 'Cats went 7-9 for their first losing season since going 1-13 in 1971-72, holds the firm belief that the only way his team will get better and compete for postseason championships is by wrestling tough competition.

Last season was a rarity after a tremendous run in which the Sussex County program -- now celebrating its 50th season -- went 191-33 overall while capturing nine straight conference and eight sectional titles from 2006-14, as well as winning all four of its state championships (2008 and '11 in Group 3 and '13 and '14 in Group 2).

"I think [a quality schedule] has helped us get where we have to go," said Gardner, a state champion for the 'Cats in 1990 and one of just four wrestlers to win four Region 1 titles. "Hopefully the kids realize there are bigger things out there and they want to do it."

Gardner scored his 200th win against Vernon -- 64-12 at home on Jan, 21, 2010 -- nearly six years ago to the day.
