Kaplan finishes 4th
in State Open
GLASTONBURY, Feb. 23 -- Josh Kaplan (140) dropped a tough 9-4 decision to RHAM's Louie Grano in the quarterfinals but battled through the consolation bracket with three straight wins to earn a berth in the consolation final. One of the wins was an 8-5 win over Derby's Rob French in a rematch of the Class S final that Kaplan had won a week earlier.

But it was a frustrating defeat for Kaplan, who was pinned by New Milford's Sean Caselli in 3:52. Leading 4-0 in the third period, Caselli caught Kaplan in a moment's weakness and took his down and quickly turned him to his back.
When it was over, Kaplan was furious because he said that Caselli had intentionally poked him in the eye as he pinned him.

But in the end, Kaplan was fourth in the state and had a ticket to the New England Tournament.

"He finished in the top four and that says a lot," Phelps said. "He got caught (in a move) against the kid from New Fairfield and split with Grano [who eventually finished second]. It was tough for Josh when he lost Tom [Bujold to separated shoulder]. Tom was at his level to push him all the time. Those two would beat on each other in practice to get stronger."

Kaplan spent a lot of time in the final weeks of the season training with long-time assistant coach Ed deSimas.

"Josh likes to drill and Ed likes to drill so they work well together," Phelps said.

Canton's Adam Szychowski (215) was eliminated from the Open in the consolation quarterfinals, dropping a 4-3, double OT decision to Class S champion Aaron Cramer of Morgan.  Canton's David Brummert (103) and Stephen Babcock (275) were each 1-2 in the tournament.

NEW ENGLAND: At the New England Tournament, Kaplan went 1-1 in the tournament, also winning his first match with a 7-0 win over Brandon Scott of Cranston East, R.I. but losing to Dave Provencher of Lowell, Mass., 7-2 in the first round.

BERLIN, Feb. 16 -- Josh Kaplan (140) captured the 13th state championship in team history with a dominating performance in the Class S championships. Canton finished fifth in the tournament. David Brummert (2nd, 103), Adam Szychowski (3rd, 215) and Stephen Babcock (4th, 275) each qualified for the State Open.

GRANBY, Feb. 9 --- Josh Kaplan (140) won his third straight NCCC championship while Canton finished second to clinch its fourth NCCC championship. Josh Bristol (119) also won for Canton. Avon won seven of eight matches in the final to erase a 10-point deficit and win the tournament.

Warriors outlast Holy Cross, beat NW to set win record
CANTON, Feb. 7 -- On Senior Night, Josh Kaplan set a new single-season record for takedowns as the Warriors swept a pair from Holy Cross and Northwestern Regional. Kaplan had five takedowns to break the single-season mark of 82 set by Kacy O'Connor in 1999

Key pins from David Brummert (103), Josh Bristol (119) and Chris Ziemba (135) lifted the Warriors past Cross for the first time since 1997 with a 39-36 victory. In the second match of the evening, Canton had eight pins and won 12 of 14 bouts to beat Northwestern Regional, 72-12.

Kaplan finishes 4th
in State Open
GLASTONBURY, Feb. 23 -- Josh Kaplan (140) dropped a tough 9-4 decision to RHAM's Louie Grano in the quarterfinals but battled through the consolation bracket with three straight wins to earn a berth in the consolation final. One of the wins was an 8-5 win over Derby's Rob French in a rematch of the Class S final that Kaplan had won a week earlier.

But it was a frustrating defeat for Kaplan, who was pinned by New Milford's Sean Caselli in 3:52. Leading 4-0 in the third period, Caselli caught Kaplan in a moment's weakness and took his down and quickly turned him to his back.
When it was over, Kaplan was furious because he said that Caselli had intentionally poked him in the eye as he pinned him.

But in the end, Kaplan was fourth in the state and had a ticket to the New England Tournament.

"He finished in the top four and that says a lot," Phelps said. "He got caught (in a move) against the kid from New Fairfield and split with Grano [who eventually finished second]. It was tough for Josh when he lost Tom [Bujold to separated shoulder]. Tom was at his level to push him all the time. Those two would beat on each other in practice to get stronger."

Kaplan spent a lot of time in the final weeks of the season training with long-time assistant coach Ed deSimas.

"Josh likes to drill and Ed likes to drill so they work well together," Phelps said.

Canton's Adam Szychowski (215) was eliminated from the Open in the consolation quarterfinals, dropping a 4-3, double OT decision to Class S champion Aaron Cramer of Morgan.  Canton's David Brummert (103) and Stephen Babcock (275) were each 1-2 in the tournament.

NEW ENGLAND: At the New England Tournament, Kaplan went 1-1 in the tournament, also winning his first match with a 7-0 win over Brandon Scott of Cranston East, R.I. but losing to Dave Provencher of Lowell, Mass., 7-2 in the first round.

BERLIN, Feb. 16 -- Josh Kaplan (140) captured the 13th state championship in team history with a dominating performance in the Class S championships. Canton finished fifth in the tournament. David Brummert (2nd, 103), Adam Szychowski (3rd, 215) and Stephen Babcock (4th, 275) each qualified for the State Open.

GRANBY, Feb. 9 --- Josh Kaplan (140) won his third straight NCCC championship while Canton finished second to clinch its fourth NCCC championship. Josh Bristol (119) also won for Canton. Avon won seven of eight matches in the final to erase a 10-point deficit and win the tournament.

Warriors outlast Holy Cross, beat NW to set win record
CANTON, Feb. 7 -- On Senior Night, Josh Kaplan set a new single-season record for takedowns as the Warriors swept a pair from Holy Cross and Northwestern Regional. Kaplan had five takedowns to break the single-season mark of 82 set by Kacy O'Connor in 1999
