One thing is clear this season, Austin Assad is focused on finally capturing his first state championship after two runner-up finishes and a third.  All three of his state losses have come at the hands Massillon Perry wrestlers.  

He has downed Rodriguez this year, but anything is bound to happen in Columbus.  Rodriguez is the clear #2 in this weight.  

Although a week ago we would of had Bentley at #3, he did dropped a decision to May at home.  May lost to Cheek at the Brecksville tournament in December by a 3-0 score.  

Hancock is still the top man in D3 above Cheek and May which puts him firmly at #3 for the time being, while Seipel who has been dominated and consistent all season long fills the #3 spot and should cruise to a D2 title, but will have to fend off a big Poullas of Canfield and great freshman in Ramirez.
