Northport High School’s varsity wrestling team took home a 43-16 win over Commack High School this past Wednesday, January 12, to secure the Section XI League II championship.

Led by coach Robert “Thad” Aliberti, the team is undefeated in League II and has an overall 15-4 record thus far. The Tigers will go on to compete in the Section XI playoffs next week and the individual league, county and state tournaments next month.

Coach Aliberti called the win a “complete team effort” and shared how excited students were to have achieved it. He also thanked the parents and team booster club for their support.
