So the final four is set for Tuesday. Carmel took down Brewster tonight, 50-21 to advance to the semifinals. Some thoughts from Carmel coach Bill Twardy.
“I knew we had our hands full going up against Brewster, they’ve beaten some very good teams already,” he said. “I was nervous going into the match. My guys really seemed to be up for this match.”
Twardy pointed to the match at 171, where Shane Rossiter pinned Bernado Magalhaes, as key.
“When that happened, I knew the tide had turned for us, and we were going in the right direction.”
Twardy said that he expects a battle from Suffern, but he is looking forward to having the home crowd advantage on Tuesday.
“I’ll be honest, I considered Fox Lane to be the No. 1 team in the section. So I know going into that match (against Suffern) I’ll have my hands full,” he said. “The home crowd helps tremendously. We have a great following. I’m very proud of my fans and the booster club. We have tremendous, unconditional support.”
So we’re all set for Tuesday. Carmel vs. Suffern, and Somers vs. John Jay.
Here’s the box, which my colleague took over the phone just minutes ago:

Good job on the box score
Carmel looks tough. This may be a real competitive year
for top team honors.
cya
I agree. I wasn’t surprised that Carmel took the match, but the score was a bit of an eye-opener.
yeah carmel shook the lineup around
Carmel forced Brewster wrestlers to make mistakes.
All wrestlers from both teams put out a max effort.
Good luck to Carmel on Tuesday v Suffern.
Lighter weights may decide outcome.
Mike Rose was going to wrestle Gogatz in the final match if it was needed to win…once Carmel got up by a large enough margin Rose backed out. WEAK!
i saw gogatz wrestle looks tough would of been EPIC
