Really good showing by Cumberland, finishing behind a very fine NY team (St. Anthonys of Long Island) and finishing ahead of CT No. 2 ranked New Milford. Hayes at 170 and Matt Reilly at heavyweight were champs while Beaudette, Nordby and Giorgio at 195 were second; Tribelli was 4th. Beaudette and Nordby both lost to St. Anthonys wrestlers. Here is the link to the brackets on Kapwrestling, but I'll include the text results from ConnecticutWrestlingonline.com down below:

So now both Hendricken and Cumberland (arguably the two top teams in RI along with Exeter-West Greenwich) have finished ahead of New Milford, the second ranked team in Connecticut, in separate tournaments. That's a great statement for the current strength of RI wrestling. Also, I noted that Connor Humphries of East Longmeadow Mass. who won at 182 lbs in the Connecticut Challenge was beaten by Chris Hayes in the finals of 182 in the Cumberland Tournament, and is currently ranked second in MassWrestling.com.
