Some others that could make top 20 are Marty Walton of Central - college all-American, Corey Peltier of BH/EWG, Mike Grandchamp of NK - D3 all-American, and Joe Turilli of BH - standout at Harvard.

Casale was real good...he got banged for stalling twice with something crazy like 15 seconds left to tie the match in the NE finals. The next whistle he stepped forward and ended up getting thrown with no time left and lost by 2 (not even enough time for back points) Obviously the Conn. kid was ridiculously good, too.
I was in the 11th grade so maybe it wasn't that dramatic but it sure seemed that way
