EVERY High School NHSCA All-American From New England (Prep Included!)

With the 2023 NHSCA Tournament just about a month behind us, let’s take a look and highlight EVERY high school All-American to come out of New England!


Girls

This group was led by three finalists: Calli Gilchrist (Brien McMahon, CT), Sacred Heart-commit Tayla Tildsley (Phillips Academy, MA), and Madolin Ripley (Oceanside, ME). Gilchrist struck gold while Tildsley and Ripley got second.


Norah Swaim (North Kingstown, RI) and Sara McLaughlin (Scituate, MA) also got top three in their brackets, winning bronze. Samantha Yap (Stamford, CT) placed fifth and will go on to wrestle at Sacred Heart next year along with Tilsdley. Ayla Goldman (Middleborough, MA) also got fifth. Kelly Aspras (Foran, CT) placed sixth in the tournament while Lindsay Laws (Silver Lake, MA), Hoshena Gemme (Old Lyme, CT) and Rylee Donahue (Norwalk, CT) all won their seventh place matches!



Freshman

David Perez (Ponaganset, RI) made it all the way to the finals getting silver. Matt Harrold (Haverhill, MA) lost his first match of the tournament and then bounced back to finish 5-2 and take fifth place. Ryan Schneider (Green Farms Academy, CT) placed 6th along with Joe Joyce (Ponagsnet, RI) and Yandel Morales (Andover, MA). Kaz Morosetti (North Kingstown, RI) took seventh.




Sophomore

Thomas Brown (Chelmsford, MA) avenged a second-place finish in 2022 winning gold this year. Sidney Tildlsey (Shawsheen Tech, MA) also made it to the finals however but dropped a close 5-1 decision. Preston Marchessault (Ponaganset, RI) took fifth place while another GFA grappler, Ben Zuckerman (Green Farms Academy, CT), placed seventh.



Juniors

A very prestigious group, this year’s juniors—highlighted by three national champions. Raekwon Shabazz (Xavier, CT), Nate Blanchette (Central Catholic, MA), and Gabe Bouyssou (Scituate, RI) all took home national crowns back in March. The depth doesn’t stop there, however. Spencer Fine (Bishop Hendricken, RI) and Brent Nicolosi (Haverhill, MA) each took third place. And Isael Perez (Hope, RI) took sixth while Domenic Gangi (Methuen, MA) took seventh



Seniors

What a senior class this was for the region, certainly one to remember! New England had a whooping twelve All-Americans in the senior division. Leading the way was Tyler Knox (St. John’s Prep, MA), who easily defended his national title, winning his second straight. Isaiah Adams (Avon, CT), a Harvard commit, took third along with fellow Ivy Commit, Columbia-bound Rawson Iwanicki (St. John’s Prep, MA).


Hayden Meyers (Coventry, RI) and Matthew Walsh (Bedford/AB, MA) each took fourth in loaded divisions. Rafael Knapp (Algonquin, MA) took fifth; he will wrestle at Buffalo next year. Brendan Gilchrist (Norwalk, CT) took sixth place becoming a two-time All-American. The 113lbs seventh place match was all New England as Trinity-bound Alex Schaeublin (St. John’s Prep, MA) took the win over Brandon Winn (Brockton, MA) Alex Gavronsky (Belmont Hill, MA) took seventh place and his teammate Haden Bottiglieri (Belmont Hill, MA) took eighth. James Duhancik (Stratford, CT) also took eighth rounding out a dominant senior class.
