Tons of guys in the lighter and middle weights but gets a bit lean in the 182+ range. Will see around 30 state medalists out of the Southern Section in 2021, which is about their yearly average.

So here's a list, probably missing a couple guys, but based on last year's finish. It'll be interesting to see how heavy everyone is starting March 2021, as well as potential transfers:

106 Beau Mantanona (Palm Desert, 10): 1st SS, 3rd CA
106 Ethan Perryman (Temecula Valley, 11): 2nd SS, 5th CA
106 Santino Sanchez (San Marino, 11): 3rd SS, 4-2 Top 12 CA

[old man 1923]

wow nice job ccsranker

[Roguewrestler]

And there will be a couple that grew leaps and bounds from last season.  I know one that will probably be on the podium at 132 this season that wasn’t a state qualifier last season.  😉

Top guys who didn't qualify for state in 2020 (state qualifier in 2019*):

120 Zack Stone (Orange Lutheran, 12)

At the risk of bumping him into anonymity in the "other returning state qualifiers", Zack Stone was 7th in SS last year.

[CCSRanker]

I aim to please. Fixed Stone's spot.

There's usually a couple Southern dudes who go from not qualifying for state one year to placing in state the next (not including freshmen).

Last year, Perryman (Temecula) went from 2-2 SS to state 5th at 106. Salas (Bosco) never even wrestled at SS Masters (weight) and took state runner-up at 138 - he was always an elite guy so not a huge surprise. And Ojeda (San Jacinto) went from 2-3 SS to state 7th at heavies.

If I had to plunk down some dough 7 months before the season begins for no-state-to-state-podium, I'd go with McCown (Palm Desert - grow and get out of the crowded lighter weights), Salcedo (Bosco - hopefully he'll be back and the Bosco room is awesome at 126-152), Che (San Marino - very solid and rises with Wick tide), and Lopez (Centennial - he had wins over eventual SS runner-up and 4th last season).

[WIguy]

Ill throw one into the mix. 285s. Capo Valley. Luke Meyer. He was in the low 20's as a sophomore with solid wins all season. Injured himself pretty good the week prior to CIF.

roguewrestler what school does the 132 your talking about go to so i can keep an eye out for him

Royal.   Aidan Hansen. He was a masters qualifier as a freshman and last season.  Had a bad tournament last year.    He’s been working with his brother since the day after Masters (brother was a state placer the prior year 2019).  Hes turned a corner and I think he will surprise a lot of people now.   He is beating master qualifiers from last season at 145 and 160.

good luck to your boy and his team
