Coach P, looking at Trackwrestling, I'm pretty sure that Norris and Ieremia are both from Centennial HS in NV, not Centennial HS in AZ, so they should probably not be ranked in AZ rankings. Feel free to confirm though, I may be wrong. Also, Calloway and Fletcher from Campo Verde and Valle from Casteel all finished 1st in the Doc Wright tournament, which supports the rankings for Fletcher and Valle, but perhaps Calloway should be ranked higher.
Hands down the toughest section, and not just because it has SS. Mtn View, Cienega, and Ironwood Ridge would make for a tough section by themselves. I can't wait to see how the new divisions and sections shape up, if they ever get released.D2 Sec 1...the toughest sectional in state. Thoughts?
Definitely a close call agreed....Just have to give Rider the #2 spot due to last year's state placing. I don't think they have wrestled head to head.D2-106
1 James Armstrong of Sunnyside
2 Eathon Rider of Millenium
3 Jackson Rustad of Casteel
4 Luis Pastoriza of Raymond Kelis
5 Daniel Miranda of Mountain View Marana
6 Timothy Valencia of Ironwood
If Rankings are based on Results Rustad should be #2 and Rider #3
Rustad took 2nd at Doc Wright and beat C. Housley (Showlow) 4-1 who beat Rider in O.T 4-2. Granted Rider took 3rd and beat the #2 seed that Housley lost too 4-2.
thoughts ?
They will (should) wrestle each other on Wednesday.Definitely a close call agreed....Just have to give Rider the #2 spot due to last year's state placing. I don't think they have wrestled head to head.
And Bryson Young from Mountain View beat Avery Parker of IR last night 5-2
my thoughts on 160:
1. AJ Valle, Casteel
Unbeaten in AZ.
2. Bryson Young, Mt View
Gave AJ his closest match
3. Jesse Kovacs, Apollo
Beat Justin Muniz,
4. Justin Muniz, Cactus Shadows
Beat Brandon Guzman, 34-3, only in weight loss is to Kovacs, other two are to Jacob Done and Junior Camarillo, who both dropped to 152.
5. Avery Parker, Ironwood Ridge
I don’t know much about this guy. could be up at 4, with Muniz at 5?
6. Brandon Guzman, Higley
Biggest wins are against Todd Price(twice), and Jacob Done, first match of the season. And Done’s first high school varsity match ever. Higley has a pretty weak schedule, But will see casteel in Page this weekend.
Honorable mention, Todd Prince, Williams field and Rene Flagoso, SS.
really good assessment. Perhaps an honorable mention. Ritchie McCormack from Cienega. List to AJ Valle up at mile high 9-5. Decent match.
And now I have to revise it... Todd Prince needs to be in there, because he just majored Bryson Young in Payson over the weekend, 8-0.
Even though Kovacs pinned Muniz--I don't think he's a better wrestler... Muniz beat a Guzman, who is tougher than I remember him, after seeing him battle with AJ in the Page finals.
1. Valle
2. Muniz
2. Guzman
4. Prince
4. Parker
4. Young
5. Kovacs
HM: Flagoso, SS and McCorkle, Cienega.
And i'm retired... too convoluted.
What's nice--is you have the TOP 3 (minus Muniz) in the same sectional tournament in a couple weeks. Prince, Valle, Guzman.
We'll have a rematch of the Muniz/Kovacs match at another sectional tournament.
And we'll have Parker, McCorkle and Flagoso and Young battling it out in a sectional tournament.
That other section has absolutely nobody at 160...(I double checked... no body).
