The Pirates went 3-0 in a quad meet at Morristown on Saturday, Jan. 16, defeating Ramapo, 45-28, Paramus Catholic, 39-33, and Morristown, 46-36.
SHP’s scheduled match with West Orange on Jan. 15 was postponed due to skin infection issues from West Orange wrestlers. WOHS was forced to postpone its meet against Nutley on Jan. 13.
The Pirates were scheduled to visit St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark on Jan. 18 and host Nutley on Jan. 19.
