Morris Knolls sophomore Jan Rosenberg (right) and John Hennelly of Delsea Regional tangle in Saturday (March 6) morning's second-round of wrestlebacks. Hennelly won with a pin at 1:24, ending Rosenberg's stay at the NJSIAA Wrestling Tournament with a 2-2 record and knowing he is one of the top 12 high school wrestlers in the state at 103 pounds for the 2009-2010 season.

Rosenberg has one final thought to himself as

he prepares to wrestle Hennelly.

and Jan Rosenberg are all smiles as they leave school Friday (March 5) morning for their limo

ride to Aycee. The trio - known as 'The Big Three' in some circles and 'The Three Amigos' in others  - finished the 2009-2010 wrestling season with a combined 100-20 record. Rosenberg and Ramadan finished third in the Region 1 tournament to qualify for the states and McKowen just

missed qualifying when he placed fourth at 125 in the regions. "I'm not going to break up

'The Three Amigos' now," said Rizzo in explaining why he was taking McKowen to Aycee. "Besides, he is their workout partner, too." In photo below, Rosenberg (from left), Ramadan and McKowen prepare to climb into the limo for their trip to Aycee - in style. In photo at bottom,
