Preseason
OK, since someone ask I went a head and made this via last years AIA D1 State Track Wrestling Results. PLEASE note that these are weight classes from last season, I have updated their Grade Level; that said I believe a lot of these kids will be moving up in class. Please Updated under New Thread - I will not be managing/updating these Ranking.
D1 2019-2020 Individual Rankings (Preseason)
I'll update purely based on finishes from state tournament last year, and I'll add comments in blue. Obviously people will be moving weights but predicting where they end up is nearly impossible. If someone didn't have any notable wins during the year that I'm aware of, or didn't win at least 2 matches at state, I probably won't include them just for the sake of filling out the top 6. After the people listed in the thinner weights, there are probably 10 guys who are comparable that would be hard to logically rank.
D2-106
1 Zander Phaturos LIBE, 44-6, 10th, D1-S2 1st, 2nd State
2 Cesar Avelar BRPR, 47-9, 10th, D1-S1 1st, 3rd State
3 Demarko Gomez CIBO, 33-10, 10th, D1-S2 2nd, 4th State
4 John Jarman MESA, 51-7, 10th, D1-S4 2nd, 5th State
5 Janthony Vega SALU, 17-8, 10th, D1-S2 3rd, 6th State
6 Peyton Anderson MVM, 31-8, 11th, D1-S4 3rd, Blood Round State
7 Caidan Cole, BOCR, 44-14, 10th, D1-S2 4th, Blood Round State
HM Murphy DeMara REMO, 45-8, 11th D1-S4 4th
HM Daniel Mendoza PERR, 27-17, 12th D1-S1 4th
Have heard DeMara might not be wrestling this year, but obviously won't know until the season starts. Duran from Cesar Chavez is tough but didn't qualify for the state tournament so not including him.
D2-113
1 Zach Espalin CHAN, 37-2, 11th, D1-S1 1st, 1st State
2 Carson Coy LIBE, 40-4, 10th, D1-S2 1st, 2nd State
3 Juan Sierra CIBO, 36-4, 10th, D1-S2 2nd, 3rd State
4 Anthony Gonzales, CDS, 43-9, 12th, D1-S3 1st, 6th State
5 Noah Kasprowicz, BOCR, 51-10, 11th, D1-S2 3rd, Blood Round State
I think you just mixed up Gonzales and Sanchez in your rankings. I'd expect Espalin (wrestled 120 in Fargo) and Coy (wrestled 132 at Freakshow) to be up at least a weight.
D2-120
1 Andres Avelar CECH, 20-1, 12th, D1-S4 1st, 2nd State
2 Jonathon Rogers LIBE, 23-7, 10th, D1-S2 1st, 3rd State
3 Caleb Pool TUCS, 36-7, 11th, D1-S1 1st, 4th State
4 Jaxon Rohde BOCR, 45-15, 12th, D1-S2 3rd, 6th State
5 Raul Aispuro KOFA, 26-10, 12th, D1-S2 2nd
Gomez graduated last year. Roman Provenzano from Goldwater transferred to Liberty and will probably be in one of these weights (assuming there is a good spot for him, they're obviously loaded).
D2-126
1 Isaiah Valenzuela HAMI, 22-5, 12th, D1-S1 2nd, 2nd State
2 Tyler Sauter LIBE, 44-12, 10th, D1-S2 2nd, 5th State

Fernandez is at Combs now, so I removed him

4 Wayne Dunn MVM, 45-13, 12th, D1-S4 2nd, 6th State
5 Alex Galindo CECH, 8-2, 12th, D1-S4 1st, Blood Round State
6 Michael Moreno BOCR, 45-15, 12th, D1-S2 2nd
There was a kid named Cesar Pedregon at Freakshow who moved here from Colorado, that I was told will be going to Red Mountain. He pinned Derr at Freakshow so imagine he will be a factor at this weight.
D2-195
1 Elijah Sobas CHAN, 19-6, 11th, D1-S1 3rd, 3rd State
Well, this weight certainly cleared out. I'd be looking to bump up if I was at 182. I have heard that Sobas is now at Hamilton, and that Kimball Begay, state champ last year from Page, is now at Mountain View.
D2-220
1 Nathaniel Deasey CHAN, 42-4, 11th, D1-S1 1st, 1st State
2 Luke Padwe PINN, 44-3, 12th, D1-S2 1st, 2nd State
3 David Palosika MOPO, 54-2, 12th, D1-S3 1st, 3rd State
4 Marcos Meza CIBO, 30-14, 11 D1-S2 3rd, 5th State
5 Bobby Brookins REMO, 27-26, 12th, D1-S4 4th, 6th State
6 James Huber MVM, 34-17, 11th, D1-S4 2nd
I assume Palosika to stay at this weight because he wrestled there at Super 32, but I'd think at least one of the other top 3 guys would move up.
D2-285
1 Jacob Moore BOCR, 52-8, 11th, D1-S2 1st, 6th State
2 Frank Thompson LIBE, 14-12, 12th, D1-S2 3rd, Blood Round State
Sobas will be at 195 when he returnsD1 2019-2020 Individual Rankings (updated 12/11)
Disclaimer, just ranking everyone at the weights that they have competed at this year. Obviously some people will move around come January. I realize there are some kids who are probably undefeated so far, but I’m only really ranking guys at this point who have either done well previous year(s) or have had notable individual wins this year. Therefore, some weights will only have a few guys and some might have a lot. It will be easier to fill out the top 6-8 guys in a few weeks when we are a little deeper into the tournament schedule.
106
1. Caidan Cole, Boulder Creek, 10th
2. Javier Duran, Cesar Chavez, 12th
3. Damian Moreno, Kofa, 9th
4. Jayson Flener, Liberty, 9th
Always a hard weight to figure out early in the season because there are usually a good amount of tough freshmen. Janthony Vega (6th last year at state) hasn't wrestled yet from what I can tell, so he will jump right in the mix when he competes this year.
113
1. Zander Phaturos, Liberty, 10th
2. Julian Ayala, Kofa, 10th
3. Demarko Gomez, Cibola, 10th
4. Peyton Anderson, Mesa Mountain View, 11th
120
1. Cesar Avelar, Brophy, 10th
2. Anthony Gonzales, Corona, 12th
3. John Jarman, Mesa, 11th
4. Noah Kasprowicz, Boulder Creek, 11th
5. Nathan Bigelow, Chandler, 11th
126
1. Zach Espalin, Chandler, 11th
2. Juan Sierra, Cibola, 10th
3. Jonathon Rogers, Liberty, 10th
4. Jaxon Rohde, Boulder Creek, 12th
5. Bryce Bernard, Valley Vista, 12th
6. Cael Figueroa, Highland, 12th
132
1. Carson Coy, Liberty, 10th
2. Isaiah Valenzuela, Hamilton, 12th
3. Mourece Ramirez, Desert Vista, 11th
Surprisingly not a lot of depth here for a usually tough weight.
138
1. Andres Avelar, Cesar Chavez, 12th
2. Ben Torres, Cibola, 12th
3. Andrew Correa, Liberty, 12th
4. Caleb Pool, Tucson, 11th
5. Mark Prado, Shadow Ridge, 12th
Prado is kind of a wild card here since he unexpectedly didn't compete in the postseason last year. I personally think he might be the best guy in this weight behind Avelar, but I'm keeping him below the returning state placers (and Torres, who beat Correa) until he wrestles another one of the top guys.
145
1. Tyler Sauter, Liberty, 10th
2. Dalton Loyden, Chandler, 9th
3. Matthew Andonov, Sandra Day O'Connor, 12th
4. Denton Hardt, Queen Creek, 12th
5. Jonah Muhammad, Hamilton, 11th
6. Shane Aguarin, Corona, 12th
7. Adam Booth, Mesa Mountain View, 12th
Sauter seems to be the guy to beat here, but realistically any of these guys could compete for the title in February.
152
1. Anfonso Martinez, Desert Vista, 12th
2. Zeke Guerrero, Cibola, 12th
3. Anthony Morales, Kofa, 12th
4. Connor Blakeman, Red Mountain, 12th
5. Gage Beaton, Liberty, 12th
6. Chayce Edwards, Tucson, 12th
160
1. Nicholas Steele, Cibola, 11th
2. Collin McCorkle, Liberty, 11th
3. Giovanni Meza, Cesar Chavez, 12th
Will be interesting to see what happens here and at 170 at Liberty. I've heard that Mccorkle and Stonebreaker are certified here. So I imagine one will start here and one will bump to 170, which would knock out Magri who has been wrestling well from the results I've seen.
170
1. Preston Cameau, Desert Vista, 12th
2. Kamyn Stonebreaker, Liberty, 12th
3. Justin Prigge, Queen Creek, 12th
4. Sebastian Valencia, Cibola, 12th
5. David Sweetman, Brophy, 9th
6. Ikaika Maldonado, Perry, 12th
182
1. Matthew Stevenson, Liberty, 12th
2. Makai Obregon, Valley Vista, 12th
3. Thomas Derr, Brophy, 12th
4. Cesar Pedregon, Red Mountain, 12th
5. Freddy Latu, Hamilton, 12th
There are some good guys after these but they all have some losses that make them hard to rank. Dunn (MVM) placed 6th last year but has losses to multiple Perry guys (one of which he avenged). Sadi (Tucson) lost to an even different Perry guy. Galindo (Cesar Chavez) is tough but got pinned by Basha. Hopefully things clear up here in the next few weeks.
195
1. Kimball Begay, Mesa Mountain View, 12th
2. Bobby Brookins, Red Mountain, 12th
3. Rueben Maldonado, Cesar Chavez, 12th
4. Brendan Gable, Liberty, 12th
Have Begay first here because he's undefeated and returning state champ (D4), but all these guys are probably pretty close. There are probably some other people that will surface here in the next few weeks. I feel like if you're at 182 or 220, getting to this weight would be a wise option considering the depth at those weights and the lack thereof at this one. I don't know much about Gable, but he's on Liberty and is 14-1 so he he's probably pretty tough.
220
1. Nathaniel Deasey, Chandler, 11th
2. Luke Padwe, Pinnacle, 12th
3. David Palosika, Mountain Pointe, 12th
4. Liam Hoffmeyer, Cibola, 11th
5. William Durbin, Dobson, 10th
6. James Huber, Mesa Mountain View, 11th
7. Jackson Kay, Boulder Creek, 12th
8. Julius Thomas, Red Mountain, 12th
Pretty deep especially for a bigger weight class. Heard Sobas (now at Hamilton) will be here as well when/if he recovers from a football injury.
285
1. Jacob Moore, Boulder Creek, 11th
2. Marcos Meza, Cibola, 12th
3. Alex Edjourian, Perry, 12th
Frank Thompson of Liberty will be up there in this weight as well, but hasn't competed yet because of football so leaving him off for right now.
Thanks for the info...I'd expect him to be a decent favorite at that weight if he's healthy. Gonna try to update things tonight or in the morning but still waiting to see results from a few more meets that aren't in Track yet.Sobas will be at 195 when he returns
