Time for the upper weights! Quick disclaimer before we begin. This is the more tricky to rank currently. In the past most upper weights are juniors and seniors, with the 1 year layoff, its tough to tell currently what freshman and sophomores have not only gotten better, but grown into their bodies. Here is my current best attempt and gives us a start. This is why we wrestle the matches!
#1 Long is the returning 4th place winner at 145, up a weight he will look to take the crown. #2 O’Boyle is a solid wrestler and should challenge #1 long in a great match. #3 Taz Thompson has been a serviceable veteran for the dolphins and the sleeper may be #5 Carl Lewis, Who won a VAWA triple crown last year in VAWA Folkstyle, Freestyle and Greco states.

#1 Cox is in a class of his own, ‘Nuff Said. #2 Lowell is currently a step up o the rest of the field and this finals looks close t solidified on opening day. Some young wrestlers here in 3-8 and this weight is wide open.

#1 Fink has GROWN!, last time we saw him he was a lightweight. #1 Fink looked good in the covid season last year after severely disappointing in the state tournament the year prior. I think this young man may have a chip on his shoulder. #2 Clemens is a touch up on the field while veterans #3 Cazares, #4 Leonard and #5 Vogan look to contend for the spot in the VIS finals

This is by far #1 Lavayan’s class. The rest of the field is close in talent and 2-8 is wide open for the taking.

#1 Jones looks poised to take a title for the bulldogs. Losing in the blood round of national preps last year, he gives the VIS a stellar chance at another All-American.

Cosby HS Transfer, #1 Josh Powell is a beast at 220. #2-8 are unproven and there could be a seeper n the mix, but it will take a lot to take #1 Powell off the throne.

#1 Clark, Who really showed what he was made of last time we saw him wrestle in the 2019-20 State finals is ready to top the podium. #3 Shreve is a returner at the class, however there are many unknowns in the rest of the field with some youngsters looking to make a name in the VIS
