Preseason Ranking
- Thread starter Easternshorewrestlingfan
- Start date
I like both of the rankings so far, Also did cape lose a lot of seniors last year? I would have ranked them above Penn but maybe they lost more then I thought.
Lake lost their two state champs from last year and a solid 215 and 165. Not easy to replace that kind of talent at a small school. Can’t just recruit like some of those other schools on the list. It’ll be interesting to see if they even make the D2 duels this year. Thought for sure they’d take a step back although Russ and Howard should make a really good duo to lead this team.
I don’t know much about down state D2 schools but do you believe Indian River could out do Lake forest?
I think IR could and my surprise team would be Delmar. I actually think they’re going to be better than IR assuming none of their kids transferred out of course. They had some good young talent last year. They lose their 190-285 and a few middle weights but they had some impressive 8th and 9th graders on varsity last season. They’ll be lead by senior Jazmin Snead who I think will make noise this year in whatever weight class he’s in. Was ranked last year for most of the season.

If I remember correctly they lost 4 or 5 from their lineup. A few of them very solid and very capable wrestlers. I know that they handled Penn pretty well in their dual meet last year so I’m not sure what has them ranked below penn

Delmar had a lot of seniors move on from last year and they lost a couple to Tech. I don't think they will do much this season. Indian River will definitely be tougher than in years past.
After seeing all the transfers going there, I’d have to say it’s gonna be a tall task but as much as I hate to say it, Central has always been the standard for wrestling in DE I feel. If there’s a team that has a shot I’d say it’s them
That's a senior transfer, unless it's his feeder. Tech is a vo-tech so not sure if it is still a transfer. Bigger question is did he leave or did he not have an option to stay.
Congrats to Malachi Stratton on his placement at Iron man. No matter what team you support it should always come down to Delaware wrestling support.
With all of the transfers to sallies from delaware being something, their biggest transfer looks like a kid from PA. Absolutely walked through solanco at 152 and looks like he is only a sophmore.
I think it is his feeder because he did participate this weekend. It will be interesting weight class though. He jumped out to a 7-0 lead on Gavin Mundy and won 14-13 but then Andrews put it on him in the finals at Polytech
Andrews looked strong at 126. He is going to be tough to beat this year.
Sallies is going to be tough to beat. They have some holes at 215 & 285 but besides that they will be hard to beat.
DMA looked very good this week and one of there returning starters didn’t wrestle this weekend. DMA & Sallies are clear cut favorites. Both sallies and DMA are young too.
A few upsets this weekend. Mundy & Rhoades were the two that surprised me the most

Andrews did look really good. It will be interesting where people end up this year. Lucian was 127 at solanco and baksh was 121. Stratton was 113 for ironman. Guerrieri was at 120 for Southern slam. Copes was up to 138.
Mundy losing was an upset but he and Givens had a really close match at states last year. Rhoades was a surprise but I also chalk it up to less then a week of practice due to football. When the season is fully underway I think he is going to be sitting in that top 2 discussion
We will of course not wait too much longer for the world famous rankings, but in the meantime, only a few slight adjustments to what I predicted earlier. No one is touching Stratton, Radecki, Walker, or Denigris
106 - Donato over Decker
113 - Guerrieri (if he can make it) otherwise totally open
120 - Stratton
126 - Andrews over Lucian
132 - Cordry
138 - Sianni over Copes
144 - Radecki
150 - Walker
157 - Elliot over Jewell
165 - Pete over Ranauto
175 - Ebaugh over Norris
190 - Spoor
215 - Donahue over Rhoades
285 - Denigris
106 - Donato over Decker
113 - Guerrieri (if he can make it) otherwise totally open
120 - Stratton
126 - Andrews over Lucian
132 - Cordry
138 - Sianni over Copes
144 - Radecki
150 - Walker
157 - Elliot over Jewell
165 - Pete over Ranauto
175 - Ebaugh over Norris
190 - Spoor
215 - Donahue over Rhoades
285 - Denigris
With it being early in the season, weights are still being determined.
106: Donato or Perrin
113: Guerrieri (Stratton was 113 for Ironman)?
120: Stratton
126: Andrews/Lucian
132: Mundy? Cordery was 138 at Solanco
138: Sianni or Copes
144: Radecki over Walker
150: not sure
157: Dustin Elliot
165: not sure but Pete has to be one of the favorites
175: Norris
190: Brayden Ranuato (Spoor is Out until confernces- conditioning may come into play)
215: Donahue is the favorite but Rhoades could make a push (wont see this until states if it happens)
285: DiNegris (Torres from Penn may have a shot) Cael's ankle was all taped up at polytech
106 Donato
113 Gurerrieri
120 Stratton
126 Lucian
132 Cordery ( if he drops down ) if not bellarin
138 Copes but I like Sianni’s chances
144 Walker
150 Jewell
165 Mcormac
175 Norris
190 Ranauto
215 Donahue
285 DeNegris
Very early and I think some of these will definitely change
