    Division I Rankings--Updated--02/08/2023--Top 8

    Agreed. That doesnt make sense. Has Lee from SS wrestled the Kaufman kid from MV. I watched that Kaufman kid at Salpointe. Man that kid is good.

    Reflections on Girls Sectionals

    I agree with the boys. I think that one we need to slow play it a little. Take the top 8 from DIV and DIII for a 16 man small school bracket and then do the same with DII and DI. I think many small schools, this will serve to elevate the wrestling across the divisions and then we can move to a...

    Reflections on Girls Sectionals

    I think we need to consider taking 32 girls to state in each weight class for girls state. With one division (which I agree having - would like to see the boys paired down to 2 divisions) and 8 sections I think we need to just take top 4 from each section. I watched girls take 4th in our section...

    2022-23 D3 Rankings

    Might think about throwing Conner Hangartner from Mica Mountain into the mix at 150. Places 2nd at Marana, 3rd at My View, and 5th at Mile High

    State Tournament Predictions--Team

    Sunnyside is loaded this year, and will be for the next four years. Next year with Casteel moving up to DI, DI is going to be brutal, with Liberty, Casteel, Sunnyside, and other schools like Mesa MV, Desert Vista, etc. For DIV, Morenci are a bunch of hammers. I think they would be state champs...

    Mt. View Marana--status??

    They couldnt go to flowing wells because of covid. Ponce has never been one to take the easy route. Extenuating circumstances this year. And the guy running the Payson tournament wrestled for Ponce at Empire back in the day. Im sure that had something to do with it too

    State Tournament 3 days? (3 weigh in's...??)

    I agree about having all the divisions together, especially the girls. I think having everything together relieves a lot of stress on the state in regards to officiating but, more importantly, it makes state a bigger event. We need to showcase wrestling to the community. Having it at large...

    D III State Rankings

    I think you have to rank Peglow from Empire higher. He was DQ'd last year in state for a illegal mat return and the best he could do was 5th. He was the #1 seed and the favorite to win it. Sahuarita as a team is freaking tough. I would agree that they should be the favorites to win it as a team.

    Division I, II, & III State Championship Brackets are Posted

    I think it’s unfortunate that total number of matches were taken into consideration. It gives southern Arizona a serious disadvantage in regards to seedings as we started on average three weeks late and most DI thru DIII kids from So AZ have half as many matches. Case in point...Cienegas Gabe...

    2020-2021 D4 Rankings

    Potentially a couple kids from brand new Mica Mountain to throw into the mix 132 - Aaron Rodarte - record isn’t great but state qualifier for cienega last year 145 - Jospeh Puckett (lost to Elias from Sahuarita 6-2 and lost to Desilva from IR) 152 - Isaiah Puckett - only loss to Brent Ward from...

    Realignment?

    I know that I would be willing to travel up to phoenix for one day, if it meant evening out the sections. I agree, there should be more even sections. Why not take a look at section strength every year or every two years. spread those teams out. Look at the top 8 teams at Div II state. Four were...

    Does anyone else think its ridiculous there is a bye at state???

    DII 113 pound weight class has a bye. This is due to the fact that one section only had 3 kids in that particular weight class. I think this is terrible. It diminishes our state tournament even more. Why can't we find a kid from one of the other sections with the next best record and throw them...

    Realignment?

    So, there were some sections up in Phoenix for Div II that had only 5 or 6 wrestlers per weight class, as opposed to us down in Tucson which had 10 -11 wrestlers per weight class. We need to reevaluate our sections. One section at I think 113 had 3 wrestlers. Its not okay that a kid who has had...

    what weight has the hardest bracket? predictions..upsets?

    Its all based on where they finish in their section.

    Realignment?

    I totally agree. I think it would be a great idea, and give a lot more credit and weight to AZ state champs in terms of recruiting, to call our current state Divisionals, and then take the top 4 from each division and wrestle a true state championship the following week. I dont think it would...

    Realignment?

    I think it’s because wrestling isn’t so straight. I have a feeling that it’s not as simple as all 6A is DI.

    Freshman State?

    That's a legitimate point, although, I dont think most people, including myself really keep track. I know I send freshmen who are on varsity, but I won't send a freshmen who is destroying people on varsity. In regards to the younger guys, most coaches probably just want to get as many matches as...
