Cinnaminson Wrestling Team Advances in Playoffs With Win Over Rival Delran

The Cinnaminson High School wrestling team won five consecutive bouts and nine overall to defeat Delran, 44-18, and advance to the semifinals of the NJSIAA South Jersey Group 3 wrestling tournament Monday night, the Burlington County Times reports.

The third-seeded Pirates visit No. 2 West Deptford Wednesday night, with the winner advancing to the championship match on Friday.

No. 6 Delran won two of the first three bouts on Monday, but Cinnaminson bounced back.

The match was a rematch of Cinnaminson’s 37-33 win over its rival on Jan. 20, when Cinnaminson won on a tiebreaker after the bouts were split, 7-7.

It could’ve been a similar result, but senior Keith Swartley scored a major decision at heavyweight to put Cinnaminson ahead in the fourth bout, and the Pirates never looked back.
