Marinilli makes Bulldog Wrestling History (again)

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news.  No Bulldog wrestler had ever won their weight-class at the Lowell Winter Break Tournament until yesterday.  Our team has been competing in this tournament since long-before I became the school's athletic director (15 years ago) and yesterday was the first time any CHS wrestler stood atop the podium at this prestigious tournament----the first one ever.

Eddie Marinilli, who began re-writing the CHS Wrestling record-book long before taking the mat at Lowell this week, took home the Tournament Championship at the 145 weight class.  He has already taken home Sectional and State Titles but winning this tournament is quite the accomplishment.  The tourney features some of the best competition in New England from 76 schools. Yes, 76 schools. And Marinilli outlasted all challengers at his 145 weight class.

Watch out for this Bulldog grappler as he is already in the discussion for "Best Bulldog Wrestler of All-Time" and he is just barely into the 2nd half of his career. Congrats to Eddie!
