Outlook: “The Warriors are led by Senior Captains Nick Chapman, Matt Needleman and Sammy Negron. Chapman returns as the South East Regional Champ (285) from a year ago. He works hard every day to return to the PIAA AAA Championships to claim the title at 220 lbs. Needleman, a 2x regional qualifier out of District 12, looks to establish himself this season in District 1. Needleman brings a wealth of technique and experience to the room. A natural leader, Needleman fits in well with a large team with talent in the upper weights. Negron looks to make a deep push in the postseason at 113. A senior at 113 had always seemed to have a lot of success at Hatboro-Horsham, and this trend seems to continue with Negron, the hardest worker in the room. Seniors Austin Jaffe and Brad Mallon, District qualifiers a year ago, look to gain bonus points for the Warriors all season long. Davis Wheeler and Logan Flynn look to improve on the mat this season, both having high expectations for themselves in the postseason. Wheeler is down from 160 and is in the best shape of his high school career. Flynn has put the time in on the mat in the offseason, being crowned the 2017 MAWA Eastern National Champion at 220. Alanna Barberio, Jeffery Emmell, and Josh Kim look to gain continued wrestling success at the high school level. Barberio took third in PIAA Girls states at 113. Barberio looks to hit the mat running as a big threat at 106. H-H returns to the Resilite this season with a full lineup, including 11 returning starters, and holds a large roster of over 40 wrestlers in the program. The team looks beat rival Quakertown, with the American League title, make it into District Duals, and find continued success for its individuals competing in the postseason. Excelsior, Always in All Ways.”
