Very solid weight class includes two state qualifiers, a returning MVL Champion and a solid Scottie dropping from 120. Stillion and Smitley are ahead of the others. Shoiuld be a great final. Tackett and returning league champ Ratliff should grab the fourth spot.

My Predictions:

The year of the COVID! I have seen very few results. So take this with a grain of salt!

I welcome any insight into which weights certain wrestlers are competing, because I know that I’m bound to be off with some wrestlers. I love doing these rankings, but as it has been pointed out before, they are just for fun. To any wrestlers who read these and feel that they are ranked too low, you may be right. I am bound to be wrong on many of the rankings, but fortunately they have absolutely no impact on how anyone will finish at any tournament this season or any other year.


Team Rankings (decided by dual meets)
Big
1. Tri-Valley
2. Sheridan
3. River View
4. Philo
5. Maysville
6. John Glenn

Small
1. New Lexington
2. Morgan
3. Meadowbrook
4. Coshocton
5. West Muskingum
6. Crooksville

3: Colton Smitley - MA
4: Tyler Ratliff 10 NL

1: Issac Ratliff – NL
2: Caden Wilson – JG
3: Rylan Snedeker – TV
4: Dakota Harris – SH
5: Evan Dyer - MBK

126
1: Tucker Mounts – RV
2: Slade Huston - TV
3: Hunter Wallis – SH
4: Drake Harper - MA

2: Isaiah Armstrong – TV
3: Luke Snider – SH
4: Gavin Kesterson – RV
5: Owen Hays - MBK
6: Zane Rollins – WM
7: Blayn Wilson – MA
Pletcher is, a state qualifier, is a having a solid season and should win this weight class. Although Patterson is a state alternate and Snider is a very good wrestler.

145
1: Cullen Van Rooyen – TV
2: Wyatt Abele – NL
3: Darion Smitley - COSH
4: Blake Linkous - PH

3: Alex Niner – TV
4: Kaleb McFee – WM
5: Tristan Nieswanger - MBK
6: JD Herron - RV
7: Hunter Jamison – SH
8: Tony Monlux – MA
Rust won thirty matches last season, Rose having a solid sophomore season, Niner, McFee and Nieswanger are talented. Any one of the five could win it. Good looking weight class.

160
1: Jacob Dold – NL
2: Jason Patterson - TV
3: Travin Berry – RV
4: Drew Lincicome – PH
5: Brady McManaway - MBK

7: Zen Howard - COSH
8: Clayton Bates - JG
9: Daniel Tokie – MO
10: Jacob Ramey – SH
Dold is a slight favorite here over the next three having been a finalist in the past. Again the next three are very solid grapplers and could very easily grab this title.

170
1: Jordan Barnett – SH
2: David Chapman - CR
3: Marshall Humphrey - MA
4: Trey Helwig – NL
5: Porter Blackmond - TV
6: Clay Greuey - MO
7: Luke Ramsey - COSH
8: Connor Sensabaugh - JG
9: Zack Savage – PH
Barnett is heads above the challengers here. A state placer with excellent skills in all aspects of the sport. Chapman and Humphrey will battle to see who becomes Barnett’s victim. Helwig and Blackmond will vie for the final spot.

182
1: Karter Jones - TV

3: Cruz Mobley - RV
4: Kyler Nader - PH
5: Hunter Zizek – SH
6: Hayden Clark - NL
7: Joel Weigand - MBK
8: Matthew Patrick – CR
I think the top three are capable wrestlers and anyone of them could grab the top spot. Battle for fourth will be a crapshoot.

1: Ethan Jenkins – TV
2: Logan McMillen – MO
3: Payson Day – PH
4: Ethan Derwacter – JG
5: Isaac Mckinney – SH

1: David Harper – PH
2: Andy Hill – TV
3: Michael Wagner - RV
4: Trejuan Bradford - JG
5: Landon Petit - MO
6: Zane Stanton - COSH
7: Harper Montgomery – MA
Harper, when healthy, is fun to watch. He should prevail here. Although Hill has had a great career thus far. Wagner is capable.

2: Seth Schneider – TV
3: Gauge Samson - MA
4: Zane Pletcher - NL
5: Brandon McClain – MO
6: Jacob Averitt - RV
7: Austin Steele – MBK
Morris has distanced himself from Schneider and Samson over the past two seasons. Morris (a state qualifier) may be the most improved wrestler in the league. Schneider and Samson matchup should be competitive.
