Two Fox Lane Wrestlers Heading to State Tournament
Will be second appearance for Speno and Rodrigues.
Fox Lane will be sending two of its wrestling team members to the state tournament in Albany next weekend. They are Sam Speno (96 pounds) and Steve Rodrigues (125).
The Foxes had a good season, advancing all the way to the Section 1 Open Championship but came in second behind rival John Jay, with the Indians recording 182.5 points to Fox Lane's 136.
In the end, John Jay had a Section 1-best five wrestlers advance to the state tournament next weekend in Albany — champions Billy Watterson (119), Henry Stauber (130), Scott Genovesi (160) and Lucas Myer (215) and wild card Timmy Gecaj (285), who captured third place at divisionals.
