Delbarton wrestling delivered a complete performance on Sunday to capture the 2026 NJSIAA Non-Public A State Championship, defeating Christian Brothers Academy 34–20 in the state final and adding another championship moment to the program's proud tradition.
The dual opened at 132 pounds, where CBA struck first as Sean Kenny edged Delbarton's Braden Jones by an 8–6 decision to give the Colts an early 3–0 lead. Delbarton answered immediately at 138, as Nico Marchetti impressed with a dominant 16–1 technical fall over Teag Saito, swinging momentum and pushing the Green Wave in front, 5–3. CBA reclaimed the edge at 144 when Robert Duffy earned a 6–2 decision over Ryan DeGeorge, but Delbarton countered again at 150 behind a strong 11–4 decision from Nicholas Schwartz to regain the lead, 8–6.
From there, Delbarton began to separate. At 157, Trevor Jones controlled the bout and earned a 7–3 decision over James Jakub. One weight later, Jayden James delivered a statement performance at 165, rolling to a 17–2 technical fall over Brendan Boyer to extend the Green Wave advantage. The surge continued at 175, where Gabe Logan returned to the lineup to pin Colton Quinn at 3:34, igniting the Delbarton corner and pushing the team score to 22–6.
Delbarton's momentum never slowed through the upper weights. At 190, CJ Betz added another set of bonus points with a commanding 24–8 technical fall over Jarred O'Neill. Jesse DeNegri followed at 215 with a huge 7–2 decision against Brock Oizerowitz, giving Delbarton a commanding 30–6 lead with just four bouts remaining.
CBA earned victories in the home stretch, starting at heavyweight where Tyler Palumbo won a 5–2 tiebreaker decision over August Moser. The Colts added wins at 106 and 113 as Santino Edgar edged Finn Andersen 4–1 and Shiloh Joyce claimed an 18–3 technical fall over Alex Rosciano, clinching the state championship for the Green Wave. Delbarton slammed the door at 120, however, as Cameron Sontz delivered a decisive 15–5 major decision over Santino DiMatteo. CBA closed the dual with a 4–0 decision from Paul Kenny over Tommy Marchetti at 126, setting the final score at 34–20.
With the victory, Delbarton head coach Bryan Stoll earned his 300th career coaching victory, celebrating with this team after the match.
The Green Wave now turn their attention to the individual state tournament schedule where they host the district tournament on Saturday.
