Both the 1A/2A and 3A/4A South Region teams are entering the post-season with some added comfort, seeing seven wrestlers from each division return with placements in the 2010 MPSSAA State Tournament.
With four No. 1 seeds, the Howard County Champion and State Duals Champion Glenelg Gladiators head the 1A/2A South Region, hosted at Bowie High School in Prince George’s County, including three returning state place-winners.
Nick Caffrey, placing fourth at last year’s states, is top ranked at 130, along with sixth-place wrestler Pruett, holding the top spot at 171. Borkowski is retuning from his sixth-place finish in 2010 with a No. 2 Seed at 145.
Other top ranking wresters for Glenelg include Diamond (140) and Walls (160).
Returning state champion Tony Farace, the Oakand Mills Scorpions also hold No. 1 seeds with Hensley (103) and DoQuang (152) in the 1A/2A South, with Farace possibly doing battle with state runner-up Pilkington in the 112-pound weightclass.
In the 3A/4A South, Leonardtown and La Plata will likely do battle for the regional tournament title, with Leonardtown seeing Truitt and Sam Corey take No. 1 seeds at 119 and 125, respectively, and La Plata Brannon (140), Llopez (152) and Connar Zimmerman (160).
Llopez, an accomplished junior league wrester now dominating in his freshman year, looks to join Connar Zimmerman in an attempt to repeat to the state finals, this time with Zimmerman leaving Coe Field House with the state title.
