No. 1 Blair Academy
Top-ranked Blair Academy, which is led by No. 1-ranked 220-pounder Chase Singletary, will be looking to claim another Beast team title after claiming the Ironman title just a week ago. Along with Singletary, who was a runner-up at 195 to Ben Darmstadt last year, the Buccaneers will also have returning Beast champion No. 7 Michael Colaiocco looking to repeat again this year at 113.Last Year’s Team Placing: Team Champion

No. 1 Chase Singletary (220)
No. 7 Bethlehem Catholic
Pennsylvania power Bethlehem Catholic will be returning to this year's tournament as well. No. 1-ranked Mikey Labriola is fresh off a dominant title run at Ironman and will look to impress upon his runner-up finish at last year's tournament. Along with Labriola, the Golden Hawks will also have 285-pound Ironman champion Niko Camcho.Last Year’s Team Placing: Third
Ranked Golden Hawks:
No. 13 Ryan Anderson (120)
No. 1 Mikey Labriola (170)
No. 8 Niko Camacho (285)
No. 8 Bergen Catholic
They will be without four-time champion Nick Suriano, but they still have some powerful guys that could certainly be at the top of the podium at the end of the tournament. Freshman Robert Howard, who was a runner-up at Super 32, will be making his Beast debut. And two-time New Jersey state champion Shane Griffith will be returning this year as well. Griffith was injured at last year's tournament as he ripped through the competition.Last Year’s Team Placing: Runner-up
Ranked Crusaders:
No. 3 Robert Howard (113)
No. 2 Shane Griffith (160)
No. 12 Josh McKenzie (195)
No. 9 Malvern Prep
Fresh off his Ironman title run, No. 1 Michael Beard will look to follow up with another top result this weekend. Northwestern commitment Ryan Karoly is also coming off a strong performance at Ironman with a runner-up finish to Labriola.Last Year’s Team Placing: Sixth
Ranked Friars:
No. 3 Ryan Karoly (170)
No. 1 Michael Beard (182)
No. 15 Seth Janney (285)
No. 11 Nazareth
Sammy Sasso put on the most dominant performance a week ago as he bonused his way to an Ironman title. Sasso will be looking to not just go back to back with titles for two straight weeks, but also repeat with Beast of the East titles as well. Travis Stefanik will be in the hunt for a rematch with Beard after taking a loss to him in the Ironman finals last weekend. Stefanik placed third here a year ago and is primed to improve upon that finish.Last Year’s Team Placing: Fourth
Ranked Blue Eagles:
No. 2 Sammy Sasso (145)
No. 6 Travis Stefanik (182)
No. 14 Brecksville
The Tagg team will be in full effect (see what I did there). Julian and Gabe Tagg just put on one hell of a show where they had clutch takedowns and crowd pleasing pins to win the Ironman titles at 106 and 113. If they bring the same type of intensity, they will be very hard to beat again.Last Year’s Team Placing: 12th
Ranked Bees:
No. 6 Julian Tagg (106)
No. 5 Gabe Tagg (113)
No. 20 Massillon Perry
Former No. 1 David Carr has fallen and will now be trying to rebound from the loss he took to Quentin Hovis who he defeated in last year's Beast finals. However, with Hovis' move to Poway he will not be making the trip to this year's tournament, so Carr will not be able to get revenge any time soon. But Carr will still be looking to lead Perry in this year's tournament.Last Year’s Team Placing: 25th
Ranked Black Panthers:
No. 2 David Carr (152)
No. 14 Emil Soehnlen (170)
