| Holy Cross and Jesuit to tangle on Friday |
| Editor/12/11/12 |
At the Fontainebleau "Bulldog Duals" on November 17th, Holy Cross defeated Catholic League rival Jesuit 37-28. On Friday, Jesuit will try to avenge that loss at Holy Cross. Spectators are encouraged to arrive at 6 p.m.
Holy Cross, considered by some to be the second strongest team in the city (Brother Martin is deemed the strongest), brings a 12-0 dual meet record and last week's Sam Sara Invitational championship into the fray. Jesuit is returning from the Mid-American Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Blue Jays are 6-2 in dual meets this season, with their other loss occurring in the finals of the Catholic Duals, to Catholic, 40-30.

The possible match-ups between the two teams are based on participation in the Sam Sara Invitational (Holy Cross) and the Mid-American Nationals (Jesuit):

| 113 | Mitch Capella | 17-2 | Dylan Soileau | 19-4 | Capella's two losses occurred last week in Oklahoma, where he placed 5th. He has two wins over Soileau this season. Soileau won the Sam Sara last weekend. |
| 120 | Max Grosch | 7-11 | Alex Nicosia | 15-2 | Grosch recently moved down to 120 lbs. but has not wrestled Nicosia this season, who won the Sam Sara last weekend. |
| 126 | Jacob Rovira | 4-9 | Collin Guerra | 15-5 | The two have not met yet this season, but Guerra has more experience. |
| 132 | Unknown | N/A | Nicholas Bonck | 17-5 | Bonck's five losses have come via very high-caliber opponents. |
| 138 | Jackie Robinson | 5-4 | George Benoit (maybe) | 16-3 | The two have not yet met as Robinson only recently moved down to 138. |

| 152 | Gaston Eymard | 16-4 | Austin Doyle | 13-6 | The two have not met this season, but Eymard has the stronger resume. |

| 170 | Jimmie Brown | 6-5 | Unknown | 5-7 | Brown's experience (he placed 5th at State in 2012) should be invaluable. |
| 182 | Gage Grush | 17-3 | Porter Dazet | 16-2 | Dazet pinned Grush at the Mandeville Open, but Grush beat him 3-0 at the "Bulldog Duals." Dazet won the Sam Sara last weekend. |
