    Weighing In, S2, Ep7: Howell’s Tanner Hodgins joins, plus ‘an all-time moment’ & more
    2026/01/28
    In this episode of the Weighing In podcast, NJ.com high school wrestling reporters Jake Aferiat, Bob Badders, Bill Evans, Ryan Patti and Joe Zedalis break down all the storylines from last week, including Delbarton's massive win over Faith Christian (PA), and Howell wrestler Tanner Hodgins joined the show to give his take on his season so far. County Tournaments took centerstage last week, and our reporters give their takeaways from those events, and they preview the upcoming week. 0:00: Recapping last week's action, which was led by Delbarton's win over Faith Christian (PA), the No. 2 team in the country. It will be interesting to see where Delbarton will be ranked when the next national rankings come out. St. Joseph (Mont.)'s Ryan Mitchell and Mikey Bautista had a great week. 6:35: The Shore Conference Tournament didn't have a lot of its top talent there, but Tanner Hodgins was one of the standouts during the event. Sonny Amato from Rumson-Fair Haven rolled to a title and won his 100th career bout. Julian Zargo from St. John Vianney was on top of his game as a three seed. 14:35: South Jersey had the Pine Barrens dual, which had a stacked schedule with plenty of Top 20 teams there. St. Peter's Prep won the dual, but it was closer this time around than in recent years. Overall, it was an entertaining dual meet with good teams. Washington Township beat Kingsway in one of the top South Jersey duals this season. 19:10: Up in Essex County, Seton Hall Prep dominated the Essex County Tournament on the way to another county title, including Rocco Salerno winning his fourth county title. There was some controversy there as far as who was named Most Outstanding Wrestler after the event. 23:40: Old Bridge won its first-ever Greater Middlesex County Tournament title, with the school opening in 1995. Old Bridge had over 240 points. 26:00: There were plenty of surprises last week, including Passaic Tech winning the Passaic County Tournament. The Shore Conference Tournament did have a surprise in Keansburg's Shawn Retta, who won his 100th match. 30:30: Updated individual ranks are out, and 120 pounds is super intriguing. JoJo Burke is close to returning from injury, which will make it even tougher for everyone at that weight class. Will everyone try to avoid Paul Kenny from CBA at 126? And 106 continues to be volatile. 39:50: Interview with Howell's Tanner Hodgins, who breaks down his commitment to Oklahoma State, his Shore Conference title and much more. 59:40: Previewing the upcoming week, which is headlined by Delbarton traveling to take on Blair. Delbarton might be the underdog heading into the dual, even though they just put Faith Christian last week. The top two teams in the Shore Conference will meet when Southern takes on CBA. South Jersey has a really good schedule, including a couple of tris and quads. Colts Neck takes on Middletown South for a division championship and then Jackson Township at Howell, which NJ.com will be broadcasting live on Wednesday evening. Learn more about your ad choices.

North Hunterdon won its first team title at H/W/S since 2020, with plenty of wrestlers standing out for coach Dave Bell's squad. Delaware Valley also had an impressive run at the H/W/S Tournament, finishing in third place behind North Hunterdon and Phillipsburg. Paramus Catholic swept a quad that had some stacked teams. DePaul also had a strong showing in that quad, along with Delsea. 11:35: Lower Cape May swept the Cinnaminson Duals and improved to 10-0.

Seton Hall Prep, Old Bridge and Delaware Valley are three teams knocking on the door, while Middletown North had a tough week, while Don Bosco Prep stayed in the Top 20, even though it had four losses, all of which came against Top 20 teams. RBC is a dark horse, and two teams from South Jersey are on the bubble as well are Washington Township and Kingsway. 30:15: Updated individual rankings are out. A loaded weight class, and the deepest is 215. Don Bosco's Dante DeLuca has been so strong this year after wrapping up the football season. Another deep weight class is 106, with an impressive list of underclassmen, and so is 190. 39:35: There are a bunch of wrestlers that have impressed us over the last couple of weeks, including Toms River East's Ricky DeLorenzo, who is a championship contender. Joe Rowinski from Hackettstown won his second H/W/S Tournament title last weekend at 120 pounds. Southern's Levi Foote continues his impressive season, being a versatile wrestler and doing whatever his team needs him to do.
