New York USA Wrestling

Team:
Briarcliff-Byram Hills-Valhalla-Westlake

Section:
Section I

2024 Achievements:
-Section 1 Tournament Team Champions (DI)

Rationale:
Was literally unbeatable (10-0) over the course of the past week; as they followed up a 5-0 resume that garnered them the 2024 Section 1 Dual title by sweeping all five of their collective appearances at the Tony Carlucci Duals!

Description:
Just days removed from hoisting Section 1 Dual hardware (see write-up here), BBHVW continued to be unconquerable, as the #13 ranked squad in the NY-USAW Large School Dual rankings took the trip to the Port Chester campus and swept the likes of Edgemont, Harrison, Peekskill, Tappan Zee, and the host school by respective scores of 65-6, 48-29, 54-22, 55-18, & 48-24! 

Six different members of the cohort---Marcarlo Mannello, Vincenzo Mannello, Nicholas Fortugno, Vince Palermiti, Neil Paulercio, and Thomas Tsoi all posted immaculate 5-0 records; while Quinn Pruss and Robbie Barbuto each went 3-0!!

His lone defeat coming when he ran out of injury clock, Peter Hinze is also to be applauded for a 4-1 record!

Signature/marquee individual victories over the course of the five-dual affair this weekend were earned by the younger of the two Mannello siblings [Marcarlo], who pinned returning Sectional runner-up, Zachary de Guzman (Edgemont); Fortugno, who had a 22-3 TF over Andy Kllobocishta (4th in S1 for Edgemont); Paulercio, who pinned S1 6th, Stephen Ahn of Edgemont and teched 2x Sectional placer/returning bronze, Justin Reiss, of Tappan Zee; & Tsoi, who picked up a 17-5 major over 2024 Sectional runner-up/NYS Qualifier, Parker Trento (Tappan Zee)..

Combined between the two events, both Mannello brothers, Fortugno, Paulercio, and Tsoi pulled off perfect 10s (10-0)!!!

Hinze was a strong 8-2!!
