MAT NOTES:
   Defending Nassau County Champions Massapequa (18-5 dual meet record) pushed 11 wrestlers into the Championship Qualifier Finals and emerged with seven champions, held at Massapequa High School. The Chiefs were paced by All-State matmen junior Chase Liardi (41-3, 156-15 career mark) at 120 who applied a tight bar-arm in the semifinals against Joey Iannaci (Hewlett) for a first period pin and coasted with a 7-1 verdict in the finals against Tyler Schettino (Port Wash), along with and sophomore Anthony Conetta (13-1. 86-4 career), who dropped a hard-fought 11-7 decision to OSW winner Matt Castillo (Port Wash) at 126 pounds in the finals. Eastern States Classic champion and 2018 Division II county champion formerly from Oyster Bay, Sam Khodaparest (37-1) scored with a lightning quick low single leg takedown and applied a tight bar-arm for a fall at the 1:15 mark over Mike Peneski (Port Wash) in the semifinals and posted a solid 5 -2 decision against Jared Gonzalez (Oceanside) in the 285-pound finals. Other Chiefs' champions were: sophomore Carlos Arango (28-9) who posted three falls at 99, Will Piatti (39-9) at 138, top-ranked Jeremy Scutellaro (30-4) who edged all-county CJ Riccobono (27-2) of Sew-East, 3-2, for the 152-pound title, along with junior Dom Casamssina at 170 and Frank Kempton (31-5) at 182 pounds. County bronze medalist junior Dan Gibson (36-2) of Port Washington recorded four falls, including a 44 second pin in the finals and coasted to the 145-pound gold medal. Massapequa head coach Ron Serrano will have the Chiefs ready to defend their Nassau title next weekend at Farmingdale State College and should battle MacArthur and Wantagh for the championship.
