Bonus content!

We saw enough changes in divisional action from the Sac-Joaquin Section and weight class movement in the North Coast and Central Coast to punch out a final set of NorCal Wrestler Rankings before section championship competition begins this weekend. These are the rankings for weights 106-145. CLICK HERE to go to weights 106-145.

Not all of our ranked wrestlers are aligned for favorable paths to state, but they can overcome a tough seed or formula by proving why they found their way on our top-15 in each weight class.

Nothing left to do but wrestle! Stay tuned for additional pre-section championship content tomorrow, and come back for special coverage from those events and preview content highlighting NorCal’s best shots at a CIF medal before state.
