This tournament included the teams from the Catholic league, Westchester, as well as Nassau. The boys worked hard over the Christmas vacation and the results show it. In this highly disciplined sport, your results on the mat directly correlate to the work you put into practicing and physical conditioning. No doubt, this school week off, early morning practices contributed to the boys’ success. Below are the following team scores:

Mepham 284

New Rochelle 237

Garden City 218.5

Glen Cove 169

Mt. St. Michael 121

North Shore 119.5

Great Neck North 111

Port Washington 93
