Brian Bordas capped an incredible year that saw him go 38-5 with 32 pins. In the Sections, he continued that dominance by going 4-1 with 4 pins to take home the bronze and finish in 3rd place. Matt Cortelli put together one of his best performances of the year, going 3-2 with his only losses to the eventual champion and 3rd place finisher, and battled to a 4th place finish to proudly stand on the podium. JT Roden, who was only 12-22 last season, improved dramatically through hard work and dedication to finish at 33-11 this year, won an exciting blood-round match, and went 3-3 in the Sections, earning his first All-Section honors. Dylan LaRocco went 2-2, avenging an earlier season defeat to an opponent from Horace Greeley, and Jack Granata also went 2-2 in his first Section I tournament coming up just one match short of placing. Seth Frendel and Willem Swituszak each went 1-2 with a pin, adding valuable team points to help lead the RAMS to a top 5 finish.

2021-2022 Dual Meet Record: 14-7
How Did Your Team Do Last Season: After missing the entirety of the 2020-2021 season due to COVID, the RAMS wrestling team was anxious to hit the mats last year. With just one returning varsity wrestler, there were many question marks heading into last year’s campaign as the team would be starting 12 of 13 new athletes but the RAMS shot out of the gate quickly with a decisive 54-15 opening day match and then proceeded to put together one of the strongest seasons in team history by going 14-7, seeing 8 wrestlers earn All-League honors, and by taking 3rd as a team in 3 separate tournaments

We Need Your Help!
Calling all supporters of the RAMS Wrestling Team and North Wrestling Alumni: Please take a look at our fundraiser this season and if possible, perhaps consider making a nominal contribution to your old program. Anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated as we look to generate funds for purchasing new uniforms, warm-ups, and training equipment for the team.
North Wrestling Wall of Fame
The North Wall of Fame was unveiled this Fall to showcase those who have made a mark on the program dating back to 1954. Along the top are those inducted into the North Wrestling Hall of Fame. To the left are those in our Top 10 Lists for wins/pins/matches as well as our Win Clubs. To the right are the place-finishers in the Sections, JV Sections, Divisions, and County Tournaments. And at the bottom center are those who have placed in the NYS Tournament as well as our program's NCAA D-III All-American Jack Granata.

RAMOS CAPTURES WORLD SILVER MEDAL
ASTANA, Kazakhstan – Led by a silver medal from Steven Ramos (Nyack, N.Y./Essential) at 77 kg, the United States won three medals in the Senior No-Gi division at the UWW Grappling World Championships on Saturday. Ramos opened his day with a submission over Azamat Bakytov of Kazakhstan in 2:26. He powered into the finals with a pair of 5-2 wins, defeating Tomas Smirnovas of Lithuania in the quarterfinals and Azambek Shamshiev of Kyrgyzstan in the semifinals before losing a controversial decision in the finals.
