Wrestlers await final seedings for team sectionals
Manville High School’s wrestling team awaits word today who its opponent will be in the team sectionals in the North II, Group 1 bracket.
As of Wednesday, Manville had accumulated enough “power points,” based on its win-loss record, to be seeded third.
If that stays that way, Manville would host the sixth-seeded team Monday night. On Wednesday, that spot was a tie between Belvidere and Whippany Park.
If Manville drops to the 4th seed, it will host the 5th seed Monday night. If it moves up to the 2nd seed, it would advance to the semifinals and host the winner of 3rd versus 6th ranked teams next Wednesday night.
If Manville is the 3rd or 4th seed and wins Monday, it would travel to the 1st or 2nd seed next Wednesday night.
Ultimately the sectional championship likely runs through Bound Brook, which defeated Manville earlier this season and is ranked the tops in Group 1 in the state.
