Joey Lamparelli was also given the Mercer County Tournament Association 2020 Most Outstanding Wrestler Award at the end of the tournament.
When asked how it feels to be the most winningest wrestler in the CVC, Joey said, “It feels surreal, all the hard work I’ve put in over the years shows to have paid off and I couldn’t be happier”
Joey stated that he feels good about the rest of the season and feels good about it. “I’ve been close the last two years but I really feel this year is my year to break thorough.” Joey said.
In preparation for the rest of the season Joey stated he will continue to prep for post season by doing the right things and just continuing to perfect his craft.
Joey says his college decision is between the Coast Guard Academy or Muhlenberg College and would continue to wrestle in college. After the season Joey will still be wrestling at clubs and getting ready to wrestle at the next level.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ (MERCER)–Heavy fog hampered a good visual view of the Mercer Generating Station implosion this morning but the ground shook as far as eight miles away in Allentown, NJ around 8 am
The old coal fired power plant is being demolished to redevelop the area into warehousing. The planned event was kept quiet until yesterday when Hamilton Township Emergency Management released a statement that loud noises may be heard coming from the site due to demolition work.
A small crowd gathered in the area behind the Watson House, The John A. Roebling Memorial Park and Watson Woods to try and get a glimpse of the implosion. Even at 0.56 of a mile the fog was too great to really get a good look at the spectacle.
