Gladstone

138 - HM Wyatt Forvilly

165 - #18 Jack Taylor

190 - #2 Trevor Thorbahn

215 - #2 Ben Wilson

Boyne City looks to have pretty decent depth.  They were district champs last year also.  However,  the hammers of Gladstone will make a matchup hard to win.  

Projected winner:  Gladstone

Negaunee

106 - #4 Evan Asikainen

120 - HM Derek Potvin

150 - HM Peyton Black

Kingsford suffered a big loss when stud, Tegan Ray, moved out of state.  However, they still seem to have the most depth.  We see the Flivvers pulling this one out.  

Projected winner:  Kingsford

Team Wrestling District 167

Host: Kalkaska

Traverse City St Francis

106 - HM Charlie Bertram

120 - #17 Luke Harper

138 - HM Dex Nance

285 - HM Ben Eckler 

This was a hotly contested district last year.  This year Kingsley has the most ranked wrestlers.  I think it will be competitive again.  

Projected winner:  Kingsley

Team Wrestling District 168

Host: Ogemaw Heights

Grayling

Lake City

Ogemaw Heights

Tawas

Last Season:

150 - HM Peter Hennard

175 - #3 Connor Lambert

215 - #3 Calvin Marshall

Tawas

106 - HM Joey Kacir

150 - HM Sean Donaghy

Grayling gave Ogemaw Heights all they wanted last year in the district finals.  They enter this season with five ranked wrestlers.  However, Ogemaw brings back five ranked wrestlers of their own, including three in the top three.  I think Ogemaw might just have a bit too much firepower.  

Projected Winner:  Ogemaw Heights

Team Wrestling District 169

Shelby

106 - HM Antonio Cano

157 - #6 Jaylin Henderson

157 - #9 Brody Fessenden

Reed City is a very solid team and Shelby has a couple studs. Unfortunately for them they are in the same district as a loaded Hart team.  

Projected winner:  Hart

285 - HM Brayden Towne

Shepherd

132 #3 Micah Curtiss

215 - #16 Seth Saxton

Long time D3 Power Chip Hills should dominate this district as they have by far the deepest team.  Clare and Shepherd will win some matches, but not enough.

Projected winner: Remus Chippewa Hills

Gladwin looks to have a strong team this year with five ranked preseason wrestlers, including four in the top 6 of their respective weight classes.  

Projected winner:  Gladwin

138 - HM Jayden Loomis-Sandison

150 - #17 Jackson Carr

165 - #16 Logan Thompson

Newaygo

113 - HM Miles Ashcraft

Defending district champ, Grant, has some good wrestlers and could push Kent City, but I think the Eagles have too much firepower with five ranked wrestlers.

Projected winner:  Kent City

113 - HM Jeffrey Brown

144 - #15 Andy Lopez-Castro

GRCC has had some absolutely outstanding wrestlers lately and had a very competitive team last year.  They graduated several key wrestlers and have three studs coming back including #1 Dale Gant.  Expect them to develop some of their younger wrestlers and repeat as district champs.

Projected winner: Grand Rapids Catholic Central

There are a lot of tough wrestlers in district 175, but nobody has as much as the Vikings.

Projected winner:  Howard City Tri County

150 - HM Colton Kyser

157 - #3 Liam Leeke

175 - HM Eason Wisniewski

215 - #6 Billy Darke

Montague and Orchard View both have very nice teams this year and would win districts in other areas, but Whitehall is just too deep and talented.  Several of the Viking’s HMs will likely turn into ranked wrestlers before the season is out.  I expect both teams to win some matches, but Whitehall will prove too tough.

Projected winner:  Whitehall

Team Wrestling District 177

Host: Dowagiac

Benton Harbor

Dowagiac

Hartford

Watervliet

Last Season:  Last season’s district 189

Semis: Coloma 1 Hartford 0

157 - HM Jacob Villegas

Hartford

106 - HM Mason Whitman

165 - #13 Linken Birkhead

Watervliet

106 - HM JT Isbrecht

Even though the Dowagiac graduated two almost guaranteed pins at 215 and 285, they return a solid team and have a lot of young wrestlers.  Look for the Chieftains to move into this district and take over.

Projected winner:  Dowagiac

Team Wrestling District 178

Host: Buchanan

Berrien Springs

Buchanan

Niles Brandywine

Three Oaks River Valley

Last Season:  MHSAA switched this one up quite a bit as none of these teams were in district 178 last year .  We are going to put last year’s District 190 here.

150 - #13 Vincente Garcia

175 - #15 Trevor Anderson

South Haven

144 - #14 Zayden Rowland

Hopkins is a program on the rise and they have some great individuals and a rock solid team, but they are not yet a match for the defending semi-finalist Allegan Tigers.

Projected winner:  Allegan

Team Wrestling District 180

The always strong Constantine Falcons return quite a few ranked kids once again and will dominate this district.

132 - #4 Kersten McClelland

144 - #9 Caiden Hackett

150 - HM Levi Frazier

285 - #11 Shawn Coarse

Defending state runner up, to nobody’s surprise, returns a wealth of talent and will be a formidable opponent once again.  Armada has some strong middleweights and will score some points, but not enough to challenge the Bulldogs.

Projected winner:  Yale

Richmond

126 - #13 Collin Lum

Richmond used to be the dominant force out of this district until Algonac has recently taken up the mantle.  Now with Algonac up to D2, look for Richmond to take back the district title although it will take a monumental effort because on paper, the Blue Devils do not have a lot of returning firepower.

Projected winner:  Richmond

215 - #5 Jake Hascall

Frankenmuth is not just a football school as they have a strong team.  However, LakeVille has just too much firepower led by phenom Fred Hammond but the Eagles do keep it close.  There are A LOT of ranked wrestlers in this district and the team district matches will have a big influence on the all important seeding of individual districts. 

Projected winner: LakeVille

Birch Run once again has a nice team, but Montrose has an awesome team.  The Rams didn’t graduate much and returns the two things you need for greatness–studs and depth.

Adrian Madison advanced to the state finals last year after a very controversial finish against Williamston.  They move east this year, joining in this district D3 newbie Blissfield who moves up from D4.  There are terrific individuals in this district, but this year’s strongest team appears to be the Bluestreaks.  Madison had an incredibly senior dominated lineup and will be in a rebuild.

150 - #10 Teagan Cunningham

190 - HM Patrick Pangborn

Napoleon moved out of this district, so it is more wide open.  Columbia Central is definitely a program on the rise.  The other teams have some nice pieces, but this is Columbia Central’s to lose. 

Projected winner:  Brooklyn Columbia Central

Bronson joins this D3 district after being a long time power in D4 and the hammering vikings flex their muscle immediately.

On paper, this district is wide open.  Corunna beat Ovid-Elsie by three last year, and we think this district will be a dogfight again.  We could see any of the three winning it.  We will go with Laingsburg, who shows a little more depth at this point.

Projected winner:  Laingsburg

D3 stalwart Portland has moved to D2, opening this district up somewhat as they pushed Lakewood to the limit last year and returns quite a bit.  Delton Kellogg moves up to D3 from D4 and brings some outstanding wrestlers.  There will be some great wrestling in this district, but returning semi-finalist Lakewood will walk away with the hardware.

Projected winner: Lake Odessa Lakewood
