2010 Season Preview
Head Coach: Jack Withstandley (7th Season)
Despite the loss of some key wrestlers to graduation, Coach Withstandley did a great job at getting matches in for some of his younger wrestlers in 2009. The Patriots are hoping that experience pays off in 2010 as they try to keep pace in a rapidly improving A-North division.
The bulk of the experience returns in the lower half of the lineup where the Patriots will be at their strongest. The senior trio of Phil Caracappa, Joe Benedict, and District medal winner Ken Brophy will be the backbone of this group and could put up 100 wins combined if all goes well. Another senior, Brunel Pierre, was much better than his 5-9 record of a year ago and has potential to have a breakout year.
Possible Lineup In 2010
Wrestler To Watch - (Sr) Ken Brophy
Brophy recorded some big wins in 2009 for the Patriots, but after taking 3rd in the District he had an unfavorable draw for Tuesday night's Region round when he was matched up with state placer Mark Maestrey. The team leader in wins a year ago, he has the ability to have a huge year for the Patriots and has to be considered in the mix for a medal at this year's Regions.
DESPO's Outlook
Freehold Township will be VERY tough down low. Problem is, just about everyone else in A-North is as well which means there will be a lot of pressure on the young group of upperweights here. Still, with all the talent they have down low, they will rack up there share of wins and have a good shot to improve on their win total from a year ago and push several wrestlers into the Regions.

2010 Season Preview
Head Coach: Jack Withstandley (7th Season)
Despite the loss of some key wrestlers to graduation, Coach Withstandley did a great job at getting matches in for some of his younger wrestlers in 2009. The Patriots are hoping that experience pays off in 2010 as they try to keep pace in a rapidly improving A-North division.
The bulk of the experience returns in the lower half of the lineup where the Patriots will be at their strongest. The senior trio of Phil Caracappa, Joe Benedict, and District medal winner Ken Brophy will be the backbone of this group and could put up 100 wins combined if all goes well. Another senior, Brunel Pierre, was much better than his 5-9 record of a year ago and has potential to have a breakout year.

Brophy recorded some big wins in 2009 for the Patriots, but after taking 3rd in the District he had an unfavorable draw for Tuesday night's Region round when he was matched up with state placer Mark Maestrey. The team leader in wins a year ago, he has the ability to have a huge year for the Patriots and has to be considered in the mix for a medal at this year's Regions.
DESPO's Outlook
Freehold Township will be VERY tough down low. Problem is, just about everyone else in A-North is as well which means there will be a lot of pressure on the young group of upperweights here. Still, with all the talent they have down low, they will rack up there share of wins and have a good shot to improve on their win total from a year ago and push several wrestlers into the Regions.
