Patriots Beat Curley 

For the second consecutive year, the Patriots found a way to beat the Friars of Arch Bishop Curley.  This time, missing 2 Varsity regulars, with a shuffled line up, JC was able to get by Curley 34-32 on the strength of a fall by Mathew Miller in the final match of the night.  Along the way, back ups Josh Moscati and TJ Centi filled in admiralby keeping their matches close, and putting the match's outcome in the hands the "pinning machine".  Mathew sports a pinning percentage in excess of 90% over his 190 career high school wins-to-date.
