Gibbons rolls to 22nd Broward wrestling title; Cypress Bay 2nd
Cardinal Gibbons won the Broward County Wrestling Championships Saturday at Coral Springs High School.
That marks the 22nd county title for the Chiefs.
“I was very proud of the guys; they had a lot challenges to overcome,” said first-year Gibbons coach Jamel Morris, who is a three-time Broward County champion. “It’s a young team, and we wanted them to go out there and make a statement for themselves, and they did.”
Gibbons has three seniors: Tyler Cabral (138), who was second at state last year; Jertavis Black (285) who was fourth at state; and Austin Cooper (182). Cabral and Black helped lead the Chiefs as two of the team’s five county champs along with Diego Peralto (132), Nicholas Yancey (113), Peyton Vargas (106). Cooper was one of three runners-up.
The Chiefs scored 238.5 points. Cypress Bay had a solid showing with a runner-up finish at 190, followed by always tough St. Thomas Aquinas at 140. Miramar was fourth at 109.5.
Matthew Palermo (120) and Robert Limperis (152) also placed second for Gibbons. Sajid Mabud (126) and Richard Tauriello (170) third, and Christian Yancey (145) fourth. Sean Portley (160) was fifth.
Runner-up Cypress Baywas led by county champs Jared Campbell (220), Erik Rodriguez (152), Rafael Diniz (145), Gabriel Herrero (120).
