Desert Vista should be a heavy favorite to win this year. They not only have a lot of placers, but have 5 kids who would need an epic collapse to even finish outside of the top 3. I think Chandler, Liberty, Mtn View, and Cibola are all fairly even after DV.

195 - Armando Delgado should be number 2. (or at 220 if that is where he goes) Finished 3rd at state and beat Rees from SS twice. If he and Hollen actually wrestle this year, Delgado will win.

They had 3 chances to meet last year, but Delgado lost before he could face Hollen every time. It would be a good match though for sure.

“Will win” you don’t know that. Don’t be a hater Badger. Hollen is a two time finalist & got it done last year. You have to go with the proven until something happens. Should be a good match.

I was very impressed with Caesar Chavez! They have a group of tough gritty kids. Kudos to the coaches & all involved. They are on the rise. Maybe a dark horse this year.

Boulder Creek is quietly putting together an impressive start to the season also. Maybe another team to consider for contention?

I know. Liberty has always been a contender & are again. Yes BC lost. I’m looking at the whole body of work & I wanted to get some fresh team talked about.
And just because a team is a good dual team, doesn't make them a good tournament team (but it helps). I have seen a lot of teams place really high in the state tournament but they struggled winning duals. I think both Liberty and BC are good dual teams and tournament teams but Liberty may have ust matched up really well head to head.

Based on the results I’ve seen so far my team rankings at this point in the season would be:

1. Mesa Mountain View - undefeated in duals. Dominated Buckeye tournament. Placed everyone except one weight class. Had six or seven in the finals.

2. Liberty - 13-1 in duals. Lost to Cibola but didn’t look like they had all the studs in the line-up when I checked trackwrestling. Finished a 1/2 point behind Rancho Bernardo at Liberty Classic. Rancho is ranked a top 10 team in California. Placed all weight classes at Liberty Classic. Had 6 in the finals.

3. Desert Vista - undeated in duals. They don’t have the depth of Liberty or Mesa Mt. View but they definitely have 3-4 wrestlers who can be state champs in the line-up to be right there especially in a tournament format.

4. Boulder Creek - 16-1 dual record. This team has started the season on fire in dual format. Beat Yuma and Cienega. They have some extremely talented wrestlers and will interesting to see how they do in a tournament format.

5. Cibola- They could easily be ranked 4th. 10-2 dual record. Only losses are to top Nevada teams green valley and Shadow Ridge. As history shows Cibola usually gets better as the season progresses. Waiting to see how there perform in tournament format.


Overall I still think the Div 1 team race will be a close one. I believe most of these teams will be at the Peoria Invitational so that will be tournament to keep an eye on to get a better idea who is the top dog in D 1.

Maybe AIA should have thought about that when they put the state's best team (year in and year out) in D2.....LOL. Cibola might finally get a state title....lol.
Yes, Sunnyside is the best program year in and year out and has been for decades. However, they only won 1 of the last 5 state championships, so don't act like the wrestling world revolves around them and that there aren't other good programs/wrestlers out there.

Based on new tournament results my new team rankings would be as follows:

1. Liberty - won the Las Vegas Holiday Tourney, took third at El Cajon behind Buchanan and Rancho Bernardo. Took second at Peoria Invitational and gave Sunnyside a run for their money. Finished in front of Desert Vista and Mesa Mtn. View.

2. Desert Vista - Finished 3rd at Peoria invitational behind Liberty and Sunnyside.

3. Mesa Mtn. View finishes behind Liberty and Desert Vista at Peoria Invitational.

4. Boulder Creek - finished second at Pack Invitational behind Mesa Mtn View and in front of Cibola.

There is a tie for 5.

5. Cesar Chavez and Cibola

Cesar Chavez actually finished 4th at the Peoria Invitational in front of Mesa Mt. View but Mesa Mtn View was without some key wrestlers.

Cibola - Finished 3rd at Pack Invitatonal behind boulder creek and Mesa Mtn. View

Thanks for compiling these! Are you basing it on record? Tournaments? Head to head? or All of the above?
 
All of the above. I try to compile the best rankings not based on bias. I do want to apologize in advance if i missed any kids. I also try to base it off the level of the tournaments attended.
