Heavyweight Vin Maglione earned his second gold medal in a row, having won the tournament at a lighter weight last year. Fourth grader Kacy Epps at 76 lbs. Coach Carl Buttitta was unfazed. Kacy just keeps getting better. In one year, he went from never having won a league medal to the championship bout.
Hell be a force for two more years.
85 pounder Craig Batista, also a silver medalist, faced perhaps the league's toughest draw in Luke Lanno from Hazlet and dropped a decision. I'm proud of Craig. There's no shame losing to Luke. Peter Buttitta, earned a fourth place medal to close out the Bearcats' scoring for the tourney. North Brunswick Councilman Carlo Socio will be the guest speaker.
