Green Wave (2-0, 2-0) to a 31-23 Shore Conference Class B North win
over Freehold.

Just needing to stay off his back in the final bout of the match, Long
Branch freshman Jon Robertson did more than that, taking a 5-2 decision
over Perry Reiss to lift the Green Wave (2-0, 2-0) to a 31-23 Shore
Conference Class B North win over Freehold.

Robertson escaped to start the second period and scored two takedowns
before the two minutes ended in the win. Heavyweight Darius Williams
helped the Long Branch cause, pinning Travis Postell with four seconds
left in the third period.

Wins by Justin Clarke and Chris Menkin put the Wave in good position,
up 10 points with two bouts to go.
