After weeks of postponed and/or canceled matches, the Livingston High School wrestling team was finally able to get its dual meet season underway.
It began on January 12 with a 34-21 home victory over Pope John XXIII High School. The Lancers followed this with a win the following Friday against Bloomfield, 53-18, and a set of wins the next Saturday at a home quad-meet, 36-24, over Seton Hall Prep, 48-24, over Old Bridge, and 57-18, over Freehold Boro. The Lancers finished their first week of competition with a 5-0 record.
The next week began with a match against top ten-ranked Phillipsburg at Phillipsburg, a rescheduled match that was originally scheduled to be a home one for the Lancers. The Lancers received their season’s first defeat, a 37-22 loss to the Stateliners.
This week continued with back-to-back wins against Essex County opponents: 63-12 against Caldwell on Livingston’s Senior Night, and 72-9 at West Orange.
