It was 2X AA (4th,2nd) Scott Puzia for College of New Jersey ( formerly Trenton State.)
It was right after my junior season @ Morristown, wrestling in an open tournament @ Union College.
Wrestled @ 118 and wound up wrestling the #1 seed... Scott Puzia. Scott was a product of Roxbury HS wrestling program (the HS where my nephew would eventually wrestled at in that distant future.)
He pinned me (I don't know if I eventually made it to the 2nd period... he just overwhelmed me.)
That tournament wasn't a double elimination... you had to make it to the semis for placement. It was One & Done for yours truly.
Fast forward to December 2014 and the Dover Christmas tournament... my nephew RJ, now wrestling @ Roxbury was the #1 seed at 145. I left my brother and sister-in-law in the bleachers while I stepped out into the hallway to look at the brackets on the wall.
As I was looking at RJ's bracket and seeing who he had next, someone next to me said something along the lines, you got a good one there, Dave. I turned to my left...
It was Scott Puzia himself. He was two classes ahead of me, but looked like he could go a few starts right now. I couldn't believe he remembered me after all these years!
We talked for approx. 10-15 mins. It was all good.
Small world, eh?
