Prediction
This team has elevated itself to one of the elite programs in the state. Their steady rise of success has not been by chance. Anyone who has been paying attention to the off season tournament results will quickly realize that this may be the hardest working team in the state. They will be pushed very hard by the same teams as last year. There is one notable team absent from this years schedule in High Point. Look for the coaches to work out the schedule to include the wildcats. That match will be an incredible display of the two best teams in the state. Both of these teams are scheduled to wrestle Phillipsburg who can play the spoiler role. Long Branch should win a second Group II championship over a game David Brearley with a comfortable margin of victory. They will however fall just short of repeating as the number one ranked team in NJ due to the emergence of the young High Point Wildcats.
