Conklin and McCullough win for Raiders
2019 Season Preview
After a long string of losing seasons, East turned the corner in 2018, putting together their first winning season since 2008. Seven starters return, and some promising newcomers are entering the lineup, as the Raiders look to continue their winning ways in 2019.
The strength of the lineup looks to be at the run from 120-132. Sophomore Michael Conklin had a huge debut season for East, winning the District 26 Title and advancing to Atlantic City after placing 3rd in the Region. Fellow sophomore Eddie Totten also had a strong rookie campaign, registering 23 victories. Those two are joined by 4-year starter Alexander Gorlin, who earned his 2nd District medal last season. That trio provides a good nucleus down low as East breaks in some new faces into the lineup, including promising frosh Joe McCullough and Gavin Singer.
James Racanelli is another who started as a freshman for East last year, and is looking towards bigger things this year with the year to his credit. The sophomore will be the lone returning starter in the middleweights as East has new faces expected to enter the lineup here.
Up top, senior Cesar Serrano, junior Diego Leoner, and sophomore Oscar Serrano are all returning starters. East will be looking to them to step up this season and lead some more new faces in the upperweights.
Head Coach: Warren Reid (39th Season / Record: 402-327-7)
Returning Wins Leader From 2018
Michael Conklin (35-9)
Returning Career Wins Leader in 2019
Alexander Gorlin (47 wins)
Fun Fact
