It's the same old same old, no? The Rebels graduated a host of top notch talent, but have a swarm of talented newcomers looking to jump right into the lineup, along with the usual strong returning group, as they look to keep things rolling like a well-oiled machine.

We'll start up top in the 170-Hwt range, where junior Shane Reitsma kicks things off. Reitsma has amassed 81 wins in his first two seasons, is a 2-time District Champ, a 2-time Region Medalist, and placed 6th in the State a year ago. He forms a big time 1-2 punch with senior Christian Murphy, a 2-time District Champ, and a Region 6 Champion in 2018. A third starter returns up top in senior Joe Sardina, who placed 3rd at Districts last year. Senior Jake Nase and junior Anthony Sammarco are both experienced and will see a lot of action in the lineup, while the Rebels also senior Jake Wurtz and sophomore Justin Wright ready to take over the heavyweight duties.

The stretch from 138-160 is loaded as four starters return, with a load of depth right behind them looking to contribute as well. Senior Darby Diedrich enters the season with 118 wins. He's a 3-time District Champ, a 2-time Region Champ, 3-time State Qualifier, and a State Medal Winner in 2017. Also back for Howell are seniors Xavier Kelly, a 2-time District & Region Placer, and Evan Richard, a District Medalist in 2017, along with Paul Jakub, who is coming off a huge rookie season that saw him win 34 bouts and punch a ticket to AC. Senior Pierce Gomez was 9-1 last year, and will be aiming towards big things this year with an expanded role.

Down low, junior Ethan Liptzin, a 28-bout winner and District runner-up last year is the lone returning starter. The lineup does get a boost with the addition of sophomore Neiko Malone, a transfer from Rancocas Valley, who won 34 bouts and placed 2nd in District 27 last year. Sophomore Kyle Nase went 5-2 in limited action last season and is another who will be looking for big things with a larger role. Howell also has a bunch of frosh looking to make an impact here that includes Nick Acque and Michael Edmunson, among others.
