Talk about exceeding expectations.
The Westhampton Beach wrestling team wasn’t expected to make big waves at the League VI tournament at East Hampton High School over the weekend. The Hurricanes were a middle-of-the-pack squad, sporting a 4-3 record in what was a highly competitive league, so a similar finish at Saturday’s tournament—where the top four wrestlers in each weight class advance to counties—was a reasonable expectation.
Instead, however, the Hurricanes reeled off upset after upset on their way to a second-place finish, behind only undefeated league leader and Suffolk County Dual Meet Champion Elwood/John Glenn. The Knights, the top ranked team on Long Island, won the league tournament with 257 points, followed by Westhampton Beach with 184.5 points. Miller Place, the seventh-ranked team in the county, was third with 165 points, followed by Shoreham/Wading River (146.5), Mount Sinai (123), host East Hampton (70), Bayport/Blue Point (63) and Amityville (35).
