D1: Smyrna
D2: Caravel
I could guess about the weights but not sure who’s going where yet
D2: Caravel

D1: Sals, Cape, Symrna all have a great chance but I’m putting my guess on sals. They have a lot of returnees and hopefully won’t be as beat up as last year with injuries.
D2: is definitely interesting this year, I definitely think the battle between DMA and Caravel will be closer this year but St. Marks could definitely make some noise with those transfers.
Not sure on the individual but hopefully with the tournaments this weekend we shall see who goes where.

all returning state champs.. not sure of the weights they will be going.

Agresti, Poore, and Griffith definitely are locked in wins. Even though anything can happen I definitely think they won’t slip up. The other returnees definitely will face some challenges though.
would love to see Agresti and Griffith both go 190..
That would be a fun match-up. Don’t think we are gonna see that this year though. I’d say Agresti wins though since he arguably the best pound for pound wrestler in the state.
i agree. I assume agresti goes 215 and griffith goes 190. unless agresti goes 190 and griffith 175
From looking at preseason tournaments it seems 126, might be a fun weight class to watch. a Few 113 pounders, of course previous 120 pounders, and returning 126 pounders.
For D1, I think it's a toss up. There's a lot of good teams but if we're going by previous years, Cape is still the team to beat. I'd watch out for CR, as well. They wrestle hard and surprised a lot of people. CR is a well balanced and well coached team that will give anyone their best product, night in and night out.
For D2, I think this might be DMA's year. Caravel lost a lot of studs. DMA has a solid and experienced lineup that could possibly take Caravel's crown. Meanwhile, Red Lion and St. Marks will definitely be tough and exciting to watch

Agresti and August will most likely be in the 215 weight class.
The 138 weight class is going to be fun to watch. It's been one of the tougher weight classes, in recent years.
I believe Agresti will be going 215, heard he struggled to make 195 last year, so most likely a match up between him and August. Plus I believe DMA and sallies will be at 2 or 3 tournaments together plus a dual meet so we should see that match happen a few times this year. I believe Miller will be 189. So if Griffith does go 189 i think it will be a race to 2nd place between Duarte, Moany, and Miller. I believe I heard Sinclair will be going 144. If he stays at 138 I think it will be him and Williams from DMA there.

Very hot take on the 215. After this weekend of wrestling I definitely think DMA takes 2. Caravel is missing a lot of kids due too football however, can’t count them out yet.
Yep, you’re right. Messed up that 150 and 157.
150 - Duffy
157 - Bendler
** Just all early guesses, not know where kids will actually be at this year.
Salesianum takes 4th at Solanco. High caliber tournament with 4 placers.
1st
189 Miller
215 Agresti
3rd
127 Davis
4th
152 Munch
And Cape had a tough week at the Slam with 38 other teams. Placed 21st.
2nd
160 Bender
4th
Taylor

Dustin Elliott, who wrestled for Delmar, is now at Sussex tech? He was really solid, last year, as a freshman. He's wrestling 138. He can definitely make some noise, in that weight class.
Carr doesn't wrestle in Delaware anymore. He's back in PA

I definitely think salesianum should be higher but Sussex central does look very good this year. Division 2 I think DMA deserve the #1.
Upstate paper has a bit different rankings.
D 1
1. Sallies
2. CR
3. Smyrna
4. Cape
5. Sussex Central
D2
1. Caravel
2. DMA
3. Lake Forest
4. Laurel
5. Red Lion
Definitely think St. Marks should be ranked with the additions of Spoor, Bakhsh and Barnes.

My guess is that Delaware Online isn’t even aware of the transfers.
For D2 it is pretty much how those teams finished last year so that would not be much of a surprise
I think its more of a race for who takes third. Moany and Duarte are tough but i think Miller separated himself from the pack this off-season.
You may be right, Miller had a real nice tournament last week and really the only person he couldn't beat last year in state was August. And if he was weighing around 195 last year wrestling 220 that was a fair amount of weight giving up. Duarte and moaney are both power guys where Miller seems to be a lot more technique. Should be some good matches across the board though

You missed 175 lol...and I think once we see where guys settle in because I saw Bender wrestled 165 at a dual meet and at southern slam. If neither Bender or Fritchman are at 165 I think Spoor wins there
Yeah, I think Fritchman will win 175, and 157/165 depends if bender wants to cut or not. Spoor definitely could give both wrestlers problems though at 165.
Isn’t McEvoy 106?
The Sinclair/Williams match was fun to watch and they are two great kids. Sinclair was moving really well and wrestled a smart match. Sure those two will meet up a couple more times this year.
I heard that Sinclair was going 144 but obviously not the case. Definitely a good match though. They will meet up quite a few times throughout the year.
McEvoy wrestled 106 and Bakhsh beat him 9-3 and he would still have to beat Stratton as well.
With Sinclair at 138 I think Wells is going to be the guy at 144
