Wrestling at the Fay Tournament

Eaglebrook’s Third and Fourth Form wrestlers traveled to the Fay School in Northborough, MA for the 35th edition of this terrific tournament, that highlights the skills of 5th, 6th, and 7th grade wrestlers. One hundred and nine wrestlers from junior boarding and day schools from across New England participated in this year’s tournament. Representing Eaglebrook were Cooper Abbate ’19, Andy Rymes ’19, Matt Como ’18, Josh Roizen ’18, and Nick Maggi ’18. The first round was a tough go for the guys, posting a 1-4 record. But as the second round began, the Eaglebrook grapplers found their footing going 4-1, with Roizen and Rymes (earning their first victories of their careers!) and Maggi earning victories. Cooper Abbate wrestled fantastically but also had the toughest drawl of all wrestlers in the tournament; losing a close match in the first round to the eventual 2nd place finisher and in the second round losing by 4 points to the 3rd place finisher. We had one finalist, Matt Como, who lost an exciting match to a Roxbury Latin wrestler, 2-1, in a match that was widely considered by coaches and spectators alike as the best match in the entire tournament. This week we have two events - Wednesday we are off to NMH again to face Cardigan Mountain, St. Paul’s School, and Northfield; Saturday we are hosting a quad meet against Rectory, Rumsey Hall, and Cardigan Mountain. We hope to see you there.
