LOCH SHELDRAKE, N.Y., Jan. 9 -- One eastern New York state writer called the 72-team Eastern States Classic the most prestigious regular season tournament in New York. Some argue that it is tougher than the New York state tournament because the field includes small and large schools from New York and challenging competitors from out of state. Danbury’s Charlie Costanzo (119) lost in the finals to Shenendehowa’s Nick Kelly, 1-0. Click on the following link to see video from the championship match.
