Headliners for Lancaster are Autumn Gordon at 106, Joey Hutsler at 126, A.J. McCritchie at 160, Stephen Deluse at 170, Spencer Smith at 195/220 and Vince Albertini at heavyweight.

Pickerington Central lost several of their big hitters from last season due to graduation. Their headliners are Noah Dotson at 132, Chance Esmont at 160, Shota Sisco at 170, and transfer Shiloh Jenkins from Walnut Ridge at 182/195, who has improved a lot throughout the offseason.

It will be a great dual meet between these 2 teams, but expect Lancaster to edge Pick. Central and win the OCC Ohio with Pick. Central finishing a close 2nd.

That being said, GMad is my favorite, followed by Big Walnut.

newbie75;1826845 wrote:I agree with the 10 weight classes. It really will come down to who can fill a full team on that night. Groveport might be the favor with the returners they had from last year.

And glad things are looking better in Ne'rk. I've long thought they had a good wrestling demo out there and should be a solid squad.

wraith51;1826852 wrote:You're right going by history, plus I'm going strictly by what's on trackwrestling and majority of the schools in the division have the numbers to fill 10 or more.

The other side of that, though, is even though I may have 15 wrestlers will those 15 be spread out enough to fill the weight classes needed to be competitive? Another issue is eligibility and the quitters that disappear after Christmas, having what was once a decent roster now turns into a patchwork job.

I think this division will be much more competitive for these teams than their previous ones.

Dust_E_Roads;1826861 wrote:I'm hopeful that Big Nut can get things turned around. Their coach is very active and involved and seems to be trying to do all of the right things. The are the smallest school in the OCC (by quite a bit) so that could hurt, but the coach seems to be doing the right things. I'm hoping for good things out there.
