Congratulations to last week's winner: PJ Duke of Minisink Valley (New York.)
Here are this week's nominees:
Lucas Bruhl (Ankeny, IA) 150 – Bruhl faced Bas Diaz (Waverly Shell Rock, IA), who sits just outside of the national rankings, in the Ed Winger Finals. Bruhl was able to secure the upset win, 3-1.
Joey Monticello (Don Bosco Prep, NJ) 150 – Monticello, who is unranked nationally, reached the finals of the Bergen County Tournament where he met August Hibler (Leonia/Palisades Park). Monticello edged Hibler, who is ranked No. 12 at 144, 1-0.
Anthony Evanitsky (Wyoming Seminary, PA) 152 – Evanitsky, who is ranked No. 24 at 157, has been down at 150/152 for Seminary recently. Time will tell if that move is permanent, but on Sunday, Evanitsky beat No. 21 Max Stein (Faith Christian Academy, PA) in the Coal Cracker finals, 3-2 UTB.
Brayden Robison (Westlake, UT) 152 – Robison, who Track Wrestling had listed as undefeated this season, handed No. 12 Jason Mara (Meridian, ID) his first loss of the season in the Tiger Grizz finals, 7-4. Robison is not ranked.
Eddie Enright (Mt. Carmel, IL) 157 – Enright is sitting in the first spot of the honorable mention section of our 157lb rankings. At the Chicago Catholic League Tournament, he encountered Montini Catholic’s Harrison Konder. Konder, whose transfer to Montini came under scrutiny, missed the beginning of the season. Konder owns multiple wins over No. 13 Colin Young (Belvidere (North)), so he would have been in the rankings if we knew he had been granted permission to start wrestling. Enright beat Konder 8-4 in the finals.
Gunnar Myers (Wallenpaupack, PA) 160 – Myers (No. 11) knocked off two nationally ranked wrestlers to win the Coal Cracker Tournament this weekend. To reach the finals, Myers beat No. 24 Nick Singer (Faith Christian Academy, PA), 4-2, In the finals, Myers downed No. 12 Ryan Garvick (Central Dauphin, PA), 3-2.
Gunner Cramblett (Graham, OH) 175 – No. 21 Cramblett reached the finals of the Wadsworth GIT Tournament and squared off with No. 14 Carson Thomas (Cincinnati LaSalle), leaving the mat with a 9-4 win in sudden victory.
Oscar Williams (Edmond North, OK) 215 – No. 11 Williams registered a 20 second fall in the finals of the Yukon Jay Hancock Memeorial Tournament against Destry Lujan (Yukon).
