Shoreham-Wading River's Gavin Mangano is the #1 ranked recruit in the class of 2027 in NY State according to rankings by NY Wrestling News.

Mangano earns the nod after he finished last season as the 2024 national wrestling champion. The Shoreham-Wading River High School freshman at the time, earned the national wrestling championship at the National High School Coaches Association Tournament in Virginia Beach, VA.

He won the 126 lb. title by defeating his opponent, 5-1, in the finals. He finished his freshman season with 51 wins and a New York State championship at 133 lbs. He then followed it up going 6-0 at the National Championship and won the title.

The hopes are high for Shore-Wading River and rightfully so as there is still so much left to this young man's career.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
