Paulsboro's Ron Gentile could have wrestled for a region title last season. He was 29-4 at 126 pounds and had high expectations entering his freshman postseason. Then he broke his right ankle. With less than a week before the district tournament, Gentile (33-1) suffered a season-ending fracture while rolling around with a coach at practice, preventing him from trying to meet those high expectations, which included both a district and region title. "Yeah, it was very disappointing," Gentile said.
