Jimmy Kyreakedes not wrestling? I thought his ankle healed..or was he told not to?
Good luck to all!!
As for States…Aslanian is most likely to place. After that you cannot count out Longo, but it may be a quite year….Hope to be wrong…
Kyreakeades was ejected from the last dual meet against Mamaroneck by the referee for screaming at the ref. because of that he has to sit out of the next competition which in turn is sectionals.
not to offend anybody…but what a joke d2 is
Tough break for Jimmy he was one of the few for D2 that could have placed highly
“not to offend anybody…but what a joke d2 is”
Now thats funny…way not to offend anybody. This is old and tired. There are many D2 wrestlers through the years who have made “jokes” out of many in D1. The state tournament by all accounts is as competitive or more competive depending on the year. College is full of former D2 NYS wrestlers. Of course to mention the current Kyle Dake. With the exception on Jersey and California ( the former having only 2/3 the # of HS wrestlers) many states with much less # of wrestlers have even more divisions. Nevertheless, one should never be offended by lack of knowledge and insight.
@loved2…
if theses #1 seeds were to wrestle the number 1 seeds in d1 this year, they would get DESTROYED. Probably loose every match, although Aslanian and D. Realbuto could go either way
sure. But it all comes out in the wash of the state tournament. Any section I D2 wrestler who cannot compete with and or beat their counter part in D1 will likely fail up state. Still the D2 young men are wrestling under the rules given to them. Just stepping out on the mat demands respect rather then distain…..I miss Osleeb..was always a good equalizer in this conversation in section I…..kid hopped around the state finding the best in D1 and D2 to compete with, no excuses….
@DF Wow…thats unfortunate, I mean hes a senior and its his last year….hes faced injury, not a good way to end his last season like that…
Not a whole lot of D2 schools, not a whole lot of wrestlers in this area (lots of forfiets even in D1) so small schools don’t have the strongest programs. Lucky to have a youth program, instead the kids who want to wrestle go somewhere else for kid wrestling. You get a few good kids instead of a strong team. It doesn’t grow the program. That’s the nature of section 1 wrestling and just magnified in D2. When you take into mind that amongst a dozen D2 schools without enough wrestlers (because of class size) to have full JV’s, mods, or youth programs, take in all that and you still have two Dillons, two aslanians, skokos, barsuch, gertzel, Calvano, Frederich, Longo, kyreakedes, occhipinti, bruno, kelvas, rogenere, Pastore, Solis, porter, mccormack, messinger, Oks, brundage, mold, buhlman, boyle, smith, Kraft, breit, Ventura, kornberg, dinardo, anyiche that would all probably qualify for sectionals and compete to place for a good portion of them
You’re the joke, D2 kids fight just as hard they just have less to work with. The individuals do all they can which is why at the state level it doesn’t matter. What happened to D1’s best Realbuto when he wrestled Arik Robinson ?? Thats a D2 kid in case you didn’t know, best in the state at 138 probably quentin Murphy D2
I gotta agree with blogatron and others: It’s time to stop wasting time talking crap about the D2 guys. Who Cares. The D1/D2 split happened in 2003-2004 and its NOT going back. Just hope the D2 schools continue to work hard and build their programs.
It amazes me how many people on this blog can be so insulting to kids who are out there wrestling. D1/D2 – they are all high school kids – young men who we hope are going to obtain some life lessons from wrestling – and some clowns think it it ok to insult. Few of these kids (even few of the “champions”) are going to compete in college. I would rather watch and cheer for the kid who keeps going out there and coming in 2nd or 3rd or not even placing but giving it it his all rather than a “champion” who throws a water bottle at a ref, flips the bird to the crowd from the podium or intentionally head buts some kid. Nevertheless some people dismiss the smaller schools – even in D1 schools like Sleepy Hollow, Ossining and Hen Hud get little respect because they do not have the numbers to field a big team and therefore do not do as well at the team level – On the other hand, Hen Hud had more sectional qualifiers than Yorktown.
listen d2 wrestlers are acshuley garabage majority of the top 2 seeds would lose to fred (kid from mount vernon whos half retarded but is a beast ad has close matches with stavi polako
hey!!!! dont bash realbuto hes the best wrestler to ever happen to the section and to me, 2 d2 wrestlers have never worked hard it shows in my room
hey hey hey im harrison 113 pounder who got injured this year from a kid from albany i had cradle but he broke out and broke my thumb, but thats besides the point anyways all these desearve wat they are getting even though there d2 the work hard and leave everything on the mT I WISH U GUYS THE BEST OF LUCK AND BTW GOOOOOOOOOOOO HARRISON
hey i dont much about wrestling but coming from a class a, section titles, state titles,dynasty teams i can tell you that when you play the best u gotta best but there aint no best in d2 sorry
boyleeeeeeeeee we out you go this baby we gettin reckless lehgooooooooo yonkers for life rep that over in dobbs f the frail siiit
Every D1 team that lost to Nanuet, edgemont, or Croton should be folded then, keep talking trash. Yonkers you are one of those teams
They are folded, check out how many of their kids are at sectionals. Placing top 4 in divisionals is same as top 4 in d2 sectionals.
except there are a bunch of guys who placed at divisionals with losing records, there are qualifiers for D1 sectionals that were at JV sectionals, D1 aint so great
every Rockland school but North Rockland either lost or tied (TZ) to Nanuet, as well as JJEF. few others got knocked off by Croton and Edgemont – Ossining, Harrison, Hen Hud, Sleepy, Bryam Hills, Horace Greeley
so kids who qualified from teams that lost/tied to D1 schools Finals

i’ll just skip the last division to save time. i think i made my point if D2 is so bad why did D2 teams beat teams that make up D1. If you folded all teams in D1 that lost to ‘joke’ D2 teams all these guys plus guys from the last division would be out. Sectionals would be Mahopac, Fox Lane, Somers, Arlington, and North Rockland pretty much
D2 is D2 the schools are small so even less kids to fill teams, some D1 teams have more JV wrestlers than D2 schools have wresters total (7th-12th)
maybe i’ll use the week ahead to find out how many D1 qualifiers lost to D2 wrestlers, or maybe we can just leave D2 alone
theres no debating, D1 IS BETTER THEN D2, it doesent matter what team knocked off wat team it all matters about the section winners, not one d2 wrestler would a d1 wrestler from 99 to 171, half the d2 wrestlers are retarded anyway
Blog,
Your the man. I bet it gets real quite on this thread. Good Job.
Good Luck to everyone this weekend, no matter what school you go to.
Do that blog, after sectionals i will do a kids who placed in d2 sectionals who lost to kids who didnt quality for d1 sectionals. My list is much more fun.
Pocho
Your wrong and retarded as evidenced by your post.
Old skool,
D1 is clearly deeper. He was making a point to try to stop the nonsense that happens every year on this site.
Kids can’t help what school they go to. Bashing them just shows the general ignorance of those who are doing it.
Degl,
If that is truly you, I am shocked you would chime in on this D1 – D2 nonsense .
You have to wrestl the guy standing in front of you
With more wrestlers to work with of course there are more elite wrestlers in D1. It would be like making a SEC, ACC, BIG 10 all-star team vs just a pac12 all star team. You’re pulling from more wrestlers.
Over the last few years there have been d2 guys who could/did beat D1 guys. Penn gottfried, trey. Will carter, ray Wang, paratore beat myer last year and took 2nd in D2, Derek Longo,
I think earlier this year skokos beat or almost beat barbaria
Aslanian, Mold, Porter, Dillon, Calvanno, Briet, etc. these are all very good D2 wrestlers that would most definitely be able to compete with the top D1 wrestlers. Trey Aslanian behind Brian Realbuto may be the best wrestler in all of section one. It’s not one wrestler vs another that determines the whole D1 D2 argument, Its the depth in the weight classes behind these top wrestlers. If you take the 5th or 6th best guy in a weight class from D1 and compare him to the 5th or 6th best guy in that weight class from D2 there would be no competition. D1 has a much more competitive feild
What a shame that all season long this blog has been enjoyable to read and informative. And here we go again with the insults of kids that do not control where they live or how things are structured but wrestle the kids that they are supposed to. To compare them is just a way for some others to feel better about themselves and how they didn’t succeed in their D1 divisions. It would be like saying if the kids in section 1 D1 lived in long island they would not be champs or place. WHO CARES ABOUT THE IF’s They do not live there they live where they live and they beat who they beat in their divisions, what’s the different why compare it just doesn’t make any sense. Nor does it matter because it’s not reality. I have never heard this point argued from the best of D1 it’s almost always from people who didn’t succeed in their division. San Fransisco49ers and the Giants are better than the Patriots so should San Fran complain about the fact that they weren’t in the super bowl because IF they were in the other division they would have been in the super bowl. Doesn’t make sense. It is what it is. Get over it and get on with talking about what does make sense. D1 IS CLEARY A STRONGER DIVISION IN MOST ALL CASES NOT ALL, who cares. It is what it is and…... Good luck to ALL wrestlers in both divisions, you are all tough because wrestling is tough.
I think degl is an a$$ but there is no way that’s him.
Blogtron. You are a tool bag! Not sure what your point is but just because nanuet as a team beat some d1 schools doesn’t mean anything. Since you brought up rockland county I will use them as an example. Clarkstown north, e. Ramapo, suffern and PR all forfeit at least 3 weights. If you folded all the “subpar” as you say d1 teams they would fall into d2 and make up most of the 1 and 2 seeds!! That being said the kids in d2 wrestle just as hard as the d1 kids and deserve the same credit and recognition!
Just a few people can make a lot of noise in a thread, turning it into a negitive one. I believe most wrestling fans appreciate good wrestling where ever they find it, and would never think about disparaging highschool athletes on a public forum.
So what if D2 is not as deep as D1. It may be fun to compare Sectional champs in both Divisions and guess who would win in each weight class, but thats only for fun.
Enjoy yourselves on this forum: be informative, exchange opinions, be positive, and last but not least be respectful towards other posters.

nobody argues about the size system in other sports, like in football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, etc., because if small schools like edgemont, nanuet, croton, irvington, who are all competive in their classes, would be destroyed on a team level if they played schools like N. Rockland, Arlington, Newro, so if those systems are fair, why isn’t wrestling? if this system wasn’t put into place, then schools like nanuet or edgemont who are strong year in year out, would rarely break top 10 in large school, because they dont have enough wrestlers.
What about golf, tennis, bowling??? All individual sports. Were talking about individuals not teams come feb. Do we say those kids cant compete with Big school kids?? Why is wrestling different?
old skool,
Really. Golf, tennis and bowling. I expect more from you.
Awful topic with alot of ignorance. Wrestling is wrestling. 30 section titles will be won this weekend. Each individual will be a champ and have a shot to battle at the state tournament. I was a coach in the D2’s and now in the D1’s. Give these wrestlers, whatever division, respect. There are many young men out there that don’t have the guts to do what either division wrestlers will do this weekend. Each champion will stand on top of the podium and will have my respect, how about you? Good luck section 1 wrestlers.
Coach Rogers
Coach Rogers for President
snap down, most people that read my posts know that i wasn’t 100% serious when i said fold the D1 programs that lost to D2
to say that D1 is deeper is like saying in a bin of 500 apples you find more good apples than you will in a bin of 100 apples.
why are individuals not as strong in D2 as the individuals in D1, same thing, you’re pulling from a much bigger pool for D1, and even still the D1 teams have strong teams, which means more talent in the room, more athletes in the room, more competition in the room, competition is what makes you stronger, so the D1 kids tend to be a little stronger some D2 kids are lucky to have 1 kid in the room that pushes them near their weight, let alone 5 or so like a Fox Lane.
subtracting the fold the D1 programs comments (which i only kept at because of Old fool, only i can call him that, said that they basically were folded) no one has really come up with anything that refutes what i said. I’ve seen enough of D1, D2 and the time before.. ahh the time before … its two different divisions for a reason. only when there wasn’t divisions there wasnt the lack of respect for the small schools. I know oldskool is only stirring the pot and i appreciate it because it fills a week with no duals, but im sure he has respect for the D2 athletes that are out there getting after it.
no one is saying D2 is better, or on the same level, but its equal in the sense that the athletes should be treated equal. The caliber of wrestler on average isnt as good but look at what their situation is. They usually compete in weaker tournaments because their teams arent as strong. Which means the better wrestlers don’t get challenged. For the most part they don’t modified and JV programs. Sounds similar to some of the weaker D1 schools doesn’t it ? So when you see kids that can compete with D1 kids from D2 schools you should almost give them a little more credit.
I wouldnt want to offend any D1 wrestlers, im from a large school, we had a youth program, i had extremely challenge drill partners and shark bait groups, I had the advantages of a strong program so i see where its tough for the D2 kids.
Good luck to all wrestling at Clarkstown and Croton, wish you could all make it to Pace, thank you for wrestling!
not sure how things works but when its his time Coach Rogers better make Section 1 Wrestling HOF. Since my days in high school the guy has dedicated himself to the sport and looks to improve all wrestlers. Opens his gym to anyone, even in season he opens opportunities to other schools. I remember taking my lumps TRYING to wrestle with him after taking trips over the bridge for open mats in the offseason
if you don’t know who Coach Rogers is you should find out and then be happy we have him in section 1
To bad about Teddy. Why didn’t the Dobbs coach or AD schedule a quick dual meet this week? Too many points this late in year? Just a shame, the kid will miss out, but hopefully will learn a life lesson here concerning behavior and responsibility.
As for D2, yes some of New York’s best wrestlers are D2kids. However Section one D2 is not section 3, 4 or 5 D2. No comparison. I wish wrestling would go back to the old format. Section 1 would not fair as well but the old format made for a truer state and sectional champion.
It is a shame that many D1 kids will not make all section but 2 or 3 D2 kids that they had trashed over the years on the mat will be all section. Just not right.
Looking at D2, 195 and 220 are both glaringly weak this year.
Blog, s1wss, only you can call me old fool
reminds me of animal house, they cant insult our pledges, only We can insult our pledges. Your right i respect every kid who goes out there. But like u said when the split happend d2 schools got more champs and all section wrestlers, but lost respect. I see both sides of the coin, d2 has Many obsticales to overcome. On the other hand, What do you tell a d1 kid who sees a kid he beat easilly standing on the podium at pace. He goes to a smaller school so Its fair?? As much as im not a big d2 fan, sec 1 d2 is better than sec 8, 9, and 11 in d2.
only finalist in D2 get all-section, and for the most part the top 2 are pretty good, and is the 5th guy better than the 2nd place guy, sometimes but not always. Now it didnt work out this way but if Occhipinti, Longo, and Kyreakedes were all at 126 you could argue that they are in the top 5 of the section behind Speno and Caputo.
If a wrestler needs to go to a brunch to feel good about what he accomplished he isn’t learning the right lessons in wrestling. thats my opinion anyway. This sport isnt about ranking, seeds, classes, its about two guys on a mat, no escape, prove yourself by going all out and never giving up, if you do that its a reward/award in itself
is it fair that a Class A team goes out in the first round of the football playoffs when it could clobber a Class B,C,D team ? well maybe not C with Dobbs and Bronxville but Harrison would have beat Croton and destroyed whoever won D? Tuckahoe?
whats fair about wrestling is it handles its own justice, you put in your time in the practice room and it pays off on the mat, if you screw up their are no excuse its just you out there no matter what division you are in. you want all section that bad and you’re in D1 make sure you get top 4 or is it 5 ? heck make the finals guarantee you get it. if you care more about getting a t-shirt and some eggs than just going out and competing maybe move to a D2 district or find an easy weight class i dont know what to tell you
oldtool, oldfool, oldschooled its all good buddy
D2 has produced two state champs in the past 2 years..Osleeb(3 or 4?x allstate) and Gottfried(2xallstate)...both spent their HS careers beating all-state wrestlers from both divisions. I look forward to the next section I D2 champ. There is no better way to defend your worth in wrestling then winning. The two aforementioned wrestlers are amongst the best to graduate from section I regardless of the division. Yet I am sure that niether one would denigrade those lesser “all section” D1 wrestlers who could not compete with them.
Why do you guys constantly compare team sports to individual sports???
because i want to
you compared it to tennis and gold i didnt compare it to water polo
Individual sports beside wrestling that have split class sizes track cxx swimming skiing. Bowling and tennis don’t because there are not enough schools have those teams
At least in track, bowling, swimming & skiing you can use your times/scores to gauge your ability against all opponents no matter what class they are in, golf as well. Wrestlers can only do it head to head.
Gauge your ability correct, but like wrestling in those sports all you have to do is be better than 16 or so kids on one weekend to be a section champ. In wrestling i know speno is better than new rochelles 4th string kid even though they never wrestled. You can also gauge ones chances in wrestling like any other individual sport.
Anychie from Pville has beat every d 1 guy including Varian and his one loss is to Barry so I think he would be able to compete too. Also Aslanian and Longo
If you take this discussion to the state level, you will find D1 and D2 very close in ability.
cya
i wonder if they slam D2 kids on the island
They never mention them lol

Somers is small for a large school, probably barely makes the cut. Has there been a Somers team since 1967 that would back down from a match with Mahopac, Carmel, or any school with a larger enrollment? hell no. Bring back the old system and let outstanding D2 wrestlers an opportunity to compete against the best. Send the top 3 in each weight class to the states.
Not letting Jimmy Kryeakdes wrestle is a joke. He would have beaten longo for the section title and went on to place in states. He one of the sections top wrestlers in his weight class and deserves a chance to compete.
@ Section 1 Wrestling…it is called suffering the consequences of one’s actions. Responsibility.
Rules are rules.
DON’T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN’T DO THE TIME!!!
you obviously dont know what happened. He was not ejected and therefore there is no reason why he cant wrestle.
[...] reference, here are the full Division 1 seeds, and the full Division 2 seeds. Now, here are my [...]
He was thrown out for argue with the ref during another match. Just because they tried to fix it afterwards because they realized he would be out for sections doesn’t mean he wasn’t DQ’d. He isn’t the first guy and he won’t be the last. This is like a more mild version of the Tim James story, you gotta guy who would have probably won sections 6 times if it wasn’t for DQ’s and I believe not making weight once.
Jimmy is a very accomplished wrestler and should know that he is a champion already. But he needs to learn to act like one. Not the first time he has yelled at a ref. Maybe this is better for him, who knows.
I wish him luck in what he does next and hope he continues to wrestle
