District 30 Wrestling Seeds Released

Timber Creek has six No. 1 seeds in the tournament.

The Timber Creek Regional High School wrestling team has made the District 30 Wrestling Tournament its own competition the last two years, capturing 13 individual titles. The Chargers are hoping this year provides more of the same.

The NJSIAA released the District 30 brackets Thursday and, as expected, there are plenty of top-seeded Chargers on the list. Timber Creek has six wrestlers who earned the top slot in their weight class: John Amato, Isiah DeGuzman, Brandon Keller, Brandon Virgilio, Dom Ruggerrio and Bryce Shade. All expect DeGuzman and Virgilio are defending district champions.

Standing in their way will be a host of wrestlers from Highland and Triton who have their own title aspirations. Highland's Martel Harrison is the No. 3 seed at heavyweight, but has the respect of his competitors after winning a district title at the same weight class last year. Fellow Tartans Jordan Warren, Sheldon Morris and Joe Rodano, Lucas Siegfired and Nick Theisen earned No. 2 seeds in their respective weigh classes.

Triton’s Chris Bucceroni, who rattled off 25 wins this season, also has big expectations as a No. 2 seed at 132 pounds. If everything goes right, he could face DeGuzamn in the district final.

The 138-pound weight class could also feature a local showdown or two. Keller is the top seed with Theisen slotted second and Triton’s Dave Palmer fourth. The situation is similar at 145 where Virgilio is the top seed, with Rodano seeded second and Triton’s Cesar Dash fourth.
