Robbinsville High School delivered a statement performance this week, sweeping a highly competitive quad meet and reaffirming its position as one of Mercer County’s most formidable wrestling programs. Competing at Notre Dame High School, the Ravens outpaced conference rivals Hightstown, Notre Dame, and Ewing in a day that showcased both depth and resilience following early-season challenges.
Although Robbinsville and Hightstown compete in different divisions, the meeting carried significant weight within the Colonial Valley Conference hierarchy. The Ravens opened the day with a decisive 46–30 victory over Hightstown, setting the tone for a clean sweep that continued with commanding wins over Notre Dame and Ewing.
The dual against Hightstown began with a surge of momentum that proved difficult for the Rams to overcome. At 106 pounds, Pierce Cicero reversed an early deficit and secured a pin midway through the second period, immediately shifting the energy in Robbinsville’s favor. That spark was followed quickly by Alexander Viscido’s fall at 113 pounds, giving the Ravens an early cushion and confidence they carried throughout the matchup.
While Hightstown earned individual victories in several tightly contested bouts, Robbinsville steadily expanded its lead through a string of decisive pins. Lucas Messinger and Michael Panzer delivered expected finishes in the middle weights, while Ethan Neagle and Colin Yuncza provided particularly encouraging performances, solidifying the Ravens’ advantage. Anthony Inverso capped the dual with a physical major decision at 215 pounds, underscoring Robbinsville’s strength in the upper weights.
After establishing control over Hightstown, Robbinsville continued its dominant run with a strong showing against Notre Dame. The Ravens combined forfeits with a series of decisive victories to secure a comfortable team win, even as Notre Dame’s Ivan Yultukhovskyi emerged as a standout heavyweight competitor in a highly anticipated matchup later in the day. Robbinsville concluded its sweep by overwhelming Ewing, demonstrating balance across all weight classes and reinforcing the program’s depth.
Hightstown also enjoyed a productive day, earning victories over both Notre Dame and Ewing. Several Rams wrestlers remained undefeated across the quad, including Jordan Corzo, Chris Florian, Antonio Arroyo, and Jacob Kramer. Kramer, in particular, continues to build on last season’s success with another impressive early campaign, positioning himself as one of the conference’s most reliable performers.
For Robbinsville, the quad meet marked a significant turnaround. After encountering stiff non-conference opposition earlier in the season, the Ravens appeared sharper, more confident, and better synchronized in all phases of competition. The team’s ability to generate pins, control the middle weights, and secure bonus points consistently proved to be the difference throughout the day.
As the winter season progresses, Robbinsville’s performance signals that the Ravens are poised to reenter the conversation among Mercer County’s top programs. With growing cohesion and emerging contributors throughout the lineup, the team appears well-positioned for upcoming conference and postseason challenges.
