  What does hartley have returning?
• 1up2dwn Gz

  They return Junior Jarrod Zang 2 year SQ at 160 last year not sure what he is wrestling this year probably 160 again or 171 then they return Senior Drake Jones who is a very good wrestler and is tough wrestling at 152 maybe and also they have Brian Grimmes(130), Jordan Dickerson(HWT), Dominique Scott(103), Jason Mercier(140), Napoleon Bell(189) and probably some others that I cant think of but they are going to be ready this year with Petrella going to coach them very well.

  "huggins from hillard bardley will be very tough this year...what weight will he wrestle "
  171
• iGranby

  

  Caserta and Hetterscheidt from olentangy both could be very good this year, any ideas on weights? im guessing..... 135 and 160?
• iGranby

  

  i believe they also return SQ evan jackson? probably 215 again
• ALBERTDAVIS=STATECHAMP

  1up2dwn forgot to put evan jackson at 215 he also is returning and is a really big contender this year when he makes it to states
• superstud152

  higgins wrestled 135 last yr thats a huge jump hopefully he adjust to the weight change quickly... he will be fine thou
• Dirtyscramble

  

  After medaling at both Disney Duals and Junior Olympics at 160, i think he will be ok
• Dad4Sports

  Don't overlook Canal Winchester.....SQ from 2009 Joe Boswell will be returning to the states from Europe. Indians will be better than they were a season ago as the youngsters start to mature. They will have to fill the shoes of Rosch and Bellomy, but I think they will. 2X SQ Brady Hutchins has been hitting the weight room/open mats hard along with many others. Look for big years from Nick Brady, Dalton Tullius and Nate Presley. We'll know a lot more after the season-opening Cambridge tourney on 12/4....it's loaded.
• iGranby

  

  i think higgins could have a solid chance to win it all at 160, Hetterscheidt could grab high placement at 160, i think Caserta could place at 135, or at 130 if the cut is within reason for him, I think Fiorucci could win it all at 112, if he is indeed there, Price From licking heights has a solid shot at The finals or high placement, Dunlap could also snag a high spot on the podium...... just my opinion
• Cthelites

  Lee Wilson DeSales 119.
  Went 5-2 at Super 32.

  Just curious why you have Whitehall so high? Four returning DQ's (one with a 12-17 record)......and one nice Freshman move in that I know of. Did they have other move ins?
• cruiser_96

  

  I typed that shortly after a conversation with one of their coaches. He - they - were fresh on my mind. Not to mention they DID send around 15 kids to our "Be Better" Camp...
  
  In all honesty, I don't think they'll be 2nd. But definitely top 10. IMO.
• Dad4Sports

  I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Licking Valley yet........
• cruiser_96

  

  The Panthers were lights out last year. Won our tournament in style.
  
  Remind me of my options for the best DII team in the area...
• ksig489

  Top teams...Olentangy, Licking Valley, Hartley, Licking Heights, Hilliard Bradley, Canal Winchester, Jonathan Alder, London, Big Walnut, Hamilton Township...Im sure Im forgetting a few as well.
  
  That was not a prediction of order...just listing teams off the top of my head while I eat breakfast!
• cruiser_96

  

  You eat without using your hands!?
  
  Gotta like Olentangy. I wonder if London this year can equate to last year. It's certainly possible, but just wonder. I'm also interested to see the progress Bradley has made. Big Walnut has been consistent for many years now. Alder seemed to have a breakout year last year.
  
  ps: I stand by my prediction of Whitehall. Top 10. Coach P. if you're reading this... don't let me down!!!
• Bitterrunner-up

  Cruiser...Whitehall will be much improved this season, but we'll wait and see how they stack up to the established powers in DII.

  That's a good list.

  I just don't see it. I think Higgins places this year, probably 4th-6th, but I don't see him contending with the likes of Chaz Gresham, Konner Witt or Ian Miller, Kyle Ryan or Matt Stephens or Isaac Jordan at that weight.
