Rumson-Fair Haven 44 Phillipsburg 25 | Non-Conference

The reigning Group 2 state champions proved they are a major force to be reckoned with as they traveled to the NJ-PA border and took down one of the state’s most successful all-time programs.

Conor Delaney (215) and Elijah Bayne (120) each logged first period pins and fueled a Rumson-Fair Haven (13-1) lineup that scored bonus points in eight bouts to lock up a win in a Top 20 matchup. RFH state champion Sonny Amato earned a forfeit win at 150 while Phillipsburg (13-1) state finalist Gavin Hawk picked up a forfeit win at 165, as well.
