He finished his career with 227 victories, six more than previous record-holder Jesse Jantzen, a 2000 Shoreham-Wading River alum.

Edged Wantagh's Joe Kavangh 3-2 to earn a state title in Albany. The two-time Suffolk champ who will wrestle for Virginia next year became the fifth Suffolk wrestler to reach 200 wins - joining teammates Stephen Dutton and Anthony Volpe - with a 6-3 win over Glenn's Jared Cheatham on Jan. 15.

Grant Greene
St. Anthony's
Junior, 119 pounds

Season: 35-3
Career: 144-12

The leader of the Friars' "Triple Threat" won his second straight state CHSAA title, but fell just short of defending his NYSPHAA crown in a 9-7 overtime loss to Huntington's Damon McQueen, his former training partner.

Nigel McNeil
Huntington
Junior, 112 pounds

Season: 39-1
Career: 126-16

He couldn't seem to shake Longwood's Malik Rasheed at the end of the year. After the Blue Devils' star beat him 9-3 for his first county title, McNeil earned an 11-2 major decision over Rasheed in Albany to capture the state crown. At states, he had a technical fall and two major decisions en route to the title.

Damon McQueen
Huntington
Senior, 119 pounds

Season: 48-2
Career: 129-10

Faced deficits of 4-1 and 7-2 in the state final against Grant Greene of St. Anthony's, but fought his way back and won the title with a double-leg takedown nine seconds into overtime, much to the delight of his verbose fan base. The three-time Suffolk champ missed out on the state title in 2009 by one point, but this year he became the Blue Devils' 25th state champion, tops among any program in the state. He was also the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the Suffolk Tournament.

Career: 143-9

Capped a perfect season with a 6-0 victory over Tyler Laraia of Newburgh in the state final. In doing so, he became the Glenn's first state champion. He also won his second straight county title for the two-time defending Suffolk champions.

Andy Rodriguez
Central Islip
Senior, 145 pounds

Season: 40-2
Career: 198-27

Won his second straight state title in exciting fashion, as he won each of his last three matches in Albany by a 3-2 score, including an ultimate tiebreaker decision over Tony Carlo of Farrell in the final.

Anthony Volpe
Rocky Point
Senior, 160 pounds

Season: 48-3
Career: 226-21

Captured his first state title the same way he won his second county title - with a win over Louis Puca of Huntington.

The five-time league champion was one of three Rocky Point wrestlers to reach 200 wins this season.
