[East Valley]

Great rankings!! How would you rank the top 5 or top 10 D2 teams?

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Looks Good!!....Brady Shall transferred from Hamilton to Queen Creek, he placed 6th in Division I @ 113. He is a tough kid who had an injury at State. He should be @ 126 for season.

 

[CVCougar]

Don't forget that the AIA let everyone and their sister drop down 1 or 2 divisions. Trout (Brad), Cortes (San Luis), and Haile (Yuma) are down in D3 now (Do I sound bitter?)

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Freshman to watch out for is Denen Fernandez from Queen Creek, tough kid!, most likely will wrestle 126.

 

[Coach Pat]

I think Francisco of Cienega @132 graduated last year. Also, you might want to consider Valencia from Sahuaro @ 113. Went 2-2 with Cota from Marana Mt View and beat Escobar from Liberty at State.

 

[az_wrestler]

I think you have 113 and 106 backwards...Escobar was 100lbs at Fargo......what about the sleepers and transfers.....keep them in mind...Jacob Garcia at 113 or 120 from seton,,, and did x. rico transfer to seton catholic?...

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Gator Groves, (McClintock) most likely will go 132 and Vincent Dolce (Seton Catholic) will go 138. Kid to look out for is Jacob Garcia (Seton Catholic) at 120, hurt all last year but looked good at Freak Show 7th place.

 

[az_wrestler]

Garcia Wrestled in the 15 & under as a sophomore...why not varsity or elite.regardless of his age..that would have tested him.

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Garcia was coming off a bad injury, I would have done the same 15U. I believe you could have wrestled 15u as a sophomore as long as you were born in 2000.

 

[nocalwrestler]

Just a few updates for the D2 rankings. Lake is at 113 and Dunham at 120, both from Campo Verde. From McClintock Gator Groves is at 132 and Marco Groves is at 138. Matt Saba is at 160 from Queen Creek and you may want to add his team mate Chris Reyes to your rankings at 138. From Seton, Taylor is at 120, Garcia at 126, Dolce is at 145, Hovis at 152. Shavez Hawkins from Poston Butte is at 152.

 

[az_wrestler]

Ortiz marana was at 106, looks like perez sunrise was at 113, Escobar Liberty 113, haven't seen Herrera..is even wrestling?...but who will cut from 113...all info taken from track....

 

[az_wrestler]

looking at trackwrestling...it looks like cota and henkle have dropped...cota 113 and Henkel 120...who else has dropped or going to

 

[Coach Pat]

I think Love from Sunrise Mountain is wrestling up at 145.

Also some guys to watch from Sahuaro
Armando Valencia @113. Beat Sal Silva from Walden Grove first match of the season. Went 2-2 with Cota last year.
Johnnie Luna @126.
Adrian Villasenor @152

 

[Coach Wool]

Stevenson (Tbird) wrestled 170's at Blackford Duals

Barker (Seton Cath.) wrestled 182's at Blackford Duals, also won MD 16-5 over #1 M Nuessle (Liberty) at the Blackford Duals

Henkel (Mtn View Marana) has been wrestling 120lbs

 

[az_wrestler]

Mile High will bring together 108lbers Ortiz from M Mt View, Sandoval Thunderbird and Valenzuela from Kofa...all top 6 wrestlers in the state...anymore ..matches at Mile high to look forward too?

 

[Coach Pat]

Valencia (Sahuaro) pinned Cota (Mt. View) 113 at the Mt. View Duals. Also, Tellez (Cienega) beat Cota MD in the semis

 

[whenndoubtchokemout]

Jacob Garcia (SC) pinned Denen Fernandez (QC) at Duel in the Desert

 

[Coach Wool]

Look out for these two:

@ 145 Daniel Sinclair (Sunnyslope) record (18-7) pinned McKenzie (T-Bird) record (12-8) in the second period last week.

@ 132 Ethan Thompson (Sunnyslope) current record 21-5 tough kid (grinder)
Placed at both tournaments he has been in this year (5th @ Moon Valley) & (3rd @ Camp Verde)

 

[chingon76]
