Tale of Two Nicks: Kidd and Barreto Featured in Cape Cod Times
Sophomore Superstar Kidd Places 6th at New Englands
Barnstable High School boasted yet another school first last weekend as sohomore Nick Kidd finished the season by placing 6th in New England after winning his first three matches in the 160-Lb. division at Lowell. Kidd defeated Chris Ives from Goffstown, NH, Jesse Bilodeau from Otter Valley, VT and Alfred Raymond of Cranston West (RI) before bowing to Ron Thompson of Westhill, CT, Natick's Travis Moran and Chelmsford's Lewis Bailey.
Kidd is the first Red Raider in school history to place at the New England Regional level in wrestling. He finished the season at 43-8. Teammate and senior co-captain Nick Barreto also qualified for the New Englands last weekend, but bowed out early with a 6-2 decision to Zak Randall of MAU (VT) in the 145-Lb. division. Barreto finished this season at 35-9.
Barreto and Kidd Qualify for New England Championships
Barnstable High School senior co-captain Nick Barreto gave it his all last weekend at the Massachusetts All-State Tournament at Salem High School, dropping tow matches but winning four to take 4th place in the 145-pound class. His efforts qualified him for the New England Championships tomorrow in Lowell. Teammate and sophomore extraordinaire Nick Kidd was equally impressive last weekend, turning in a 4-1 performance to earn third place in the 160-pound class. Sadly, senior co-captain Thiago Hoffmann went 1-2, thus ending his BHS career but not without turning in a four-year career that former head coach Mike Magner said helped put BHS wrestling "on the map." Hoffmann was brilliant throughout the season and ended with a season record of 44-5. Hoffmann finished with a 133-60 career win-loss mark.
Hoffmann, Kidd Crowned Division 1 South Sectional Champions
The Barnstable High School varsity wrestling team sent its very best to the Division 1 South Sectionals Tournament at Weymouth High School last weekend and three of the Red Raiders' top grapplers will be moving on to the State Championship next weekend at Bridgewater-Raynham High School.
BHS senior co-captain Thiago Hoffmann was crowned South Sectional champion in the 152-lb. division after defeating three opponents from Xaverian, Weymouth and BC High, followed by sophomore Nick Kidd who took home first place honors and a D1 South Sectional crown in the 160-lb. division after defeating opponents from BC High, Braintree and Weymouth.
Senior co-captain Nick Barreto garnered a second place finish with victories over opponents from Xaverian and BC High and still qualified for the States in spite of a third bout loss to Jake Harrison from Weymouth.
119-pounder Aaron Nunes took home a 6th place medal with a victory over Durfee's Jake Fitzgerald, but Nunes did not qualify for the States. Barnstable also had Nick Flemming (103), Drew Baldasaro (112), Sean Donahue (130), Sean Warrean (135), Sean Duffy (140), Leo Murray (171), Connor Sinn (189), Magnun DeSouza (215) and Nick Atcheson (285) compete in the sectionals.
