Saturday, February 12 brought on the FCIAC wrestling finals, beginning at 4 PM in the gyms. Only one NCHS wrestler, senior and co-captain Brian Khzouz, made it to the finals, wrestling against senior Bryan Polonia of Stamford in the 145 weight class.
Last year Brian made it to the FCIAC finals and lost in triple overtime, but placing second. His sophomore year he placed third. Although hoping to win this year, Brian lost to the Stamford wrestler 4-8, but placed second in the FCIAC tournament.

Having blown out just about every team on their schedule, the Rams look destined for another deep run into the state playoffs, a run they hope to end at Ingall’s Rink with a championship trophy in their hands.
