Goshen Junior Is Unbeatable At Mustang Duals; Takes Down State Champion

Name:
Greg Schaefer

School:
Goshen-9

Past Credentials:
-Multiple-time Section IX Championship Qualifier

Rationale:
Compiled an immaculate record (10-0) at the Mustang Duals, including upending a Defending NYSPHSAA DII State Champion 

Description:
Yet to even be a place-winner at the Sectional Level during his scholastic career; the Junior Gladiator 116-pounder just seems to be at his best when he is competing at the Mustang Duals...

Going undefeated (10-0) for a second straight year at the event, the multiple-time S9 Championship qualifier/2024 Blood Rounder posted perhaps the biggest single win of the weekend when in the midst of his unblemished run; he registered a 7-5 decision over current NY-USAW DII #1 ranked (@108)/Defending Small School State titlist, Andrew Juliano ((Holland Patent), by a score of 7-5!!

The head-to-head triumph over the reigning Evil Empire king [Juliano] certainly being the highlight; Schaefer emerged with two additional dubs that catch our eye and commanded our respect...

In the dual against New Hartford-Saquoit Valley-Utica, Schaefer upended current DI #15 ranked/2024 S3 Runner-up/2024 State Qualifier, Jacob Hurd, by a 9-3 margin!!

When squaring off with Beekmantown, the 11th grader pitched a 10-0 major decision shutout over returning Section 7 bronze medalist, Mason Facteau!

The breakout effort raising Schaefer's 2024-2025 resume to a strong 32-4; he looks the part of a potential postseason spoiler as he presently holds the #4 spot in the S9 polls!!!
