NJSIAA Wrestling: Howell Advances To Sectional Final Meeting With Brick Memorial
Heavyweight Ryan Demian pins in the last second to lift the Rebels to victory in the South Jersey Group V semifinal
The NJSIAA team wrestling tournament has reached the sectional final stage, and Howell, which has lost just one match all season, will take on Brick Memorial Friday for the NJSIAA South Jersey Group V championship.
Howell reached the final with a 25-24 victory over Southern Regional, thanks to a dramatic pin by heavyweight Ryan Demian, according to NJ.com. Demian pinned Southern’s Josh Bento with nine seconds left to earn the six points that moved the Rebels (26-1) past the Rams.
Howell travels to Brick Memorial -- the Mustangs beat Egg Harbor 61-11 on Wednesday -- for the championship match, which begins at 7 p.m.
