The Tense Standoff at the Top

In a remarkable twist of fate, last year’s state champion Blackwell and runner-up Marlow find themselves in a deadlock for the top spot. This tie is not just a numerical coincidence but a testament to the fierce competition and high-quality wrestling on display. Both teams have shown exceptional skill and tenacity, and their equal footing going into this ranking adds an extra layer of suspense to the season.

Spotlight on the 126lbs Weight Class

The 126lbs weight class is particularly captivating this year, featuring some of the most talented wrestlers in the state. At the pinnacle is Colt Collett from Checotah, a junior who has already secured his place as a 2X state champion. His prowess on the mat is undisputed, and his ranking at #1 is well-deserved.

Close on his heels is Zane Donley from Vinita, a senior with an impressive track record. Having placed 4-2-1 in previous state championships and clinching the 2021 Fargo national champion title, Donley is a formidable opponent.

Adding to the intrigue is #3 Marcus Williams, a newcomer to the Marlow lineup. His transfer from Rio Rancho, NM, where he was a 3X New Mexico state champion, makes him a significant addition and a wrestler to watch closely.
