The Patriots of Ward Melville won their first three bouts in the opening pool with Chase Phillips pinning his opponent in 50 seconds in the 101lbs weight class. Teammates Kyle Yannucciello at 108lbs and Jaden Baron at 116lbs both won their matches by technical falls. At 170lbs Colin Spatz won his match 12-5.
Comsewogue shined in the heavier weight classes where Berkay Ciftcikal at 215lbs pinned his opponent in 1:31 and Tristan Bailey made short work of his opponent with a pin in 50 seconds at 285lbs.
