Despite losses by three of its top wrestlers, Howell's depth enabled it to rally past Toms River North in the South Jersey Group 5 semifinals.

Nico Messina became Freehold's first region champion since 1964, Brick Memorial's Ean Mueller won the 170-pound title in the final seconds and Point Boro's Francis Marshall won a region title in just his second year wrestling to highlight the 2018 Region 6 Tournament.

Clutch wins propelled Howell to a 33-15 win over Southern in the NJSIAA Group 5 championship match.

Clutch wins down the stretch by Kyle Slendorn and Luke Rada helped Howell defeat Hunterdon Central, 29-20, and capture the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group 5 title.
