***** 2008 Recap *****

3/9: Langel wins State Title!

With a 6-2 decision over Ocean's Mike Berardesco, senior Joey Langel won the 112-pound State Title at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.  Langel, who survived a semifinal scare against Joe Duca of Paulsboro, picked up a key reversal in the 2nd period that gave him a 4-2 lead that he would never relinquish en route to becoming just the 2nd wrestler in Howell High School history to win a state championship.  The Rutgers-bound Langel ends the season with a 42-1 record and 128 career wins, which is 2nd all-time at Howell.

Senior Harry Turner came up just short in his bid for a state championship.  Turner, who defeated the top seed in the quarterfinals and recorded a pin in the semis, dropped a 4-3 decision to Manchester's Jimmy Lawson in the heavyweight finals.  The loss was the first of the season for Turner who finished up with a 42-1 record and championships at Region 6, DIstrict 21, Roselle Park, and the Battle at the Beach.
