+Rankings are (for the most part) based on last season’s state tournament results.
+Preseason 106 rankings are listed as “wrestlers to watch” and will actually be ranked when the first in-season poll releases Dec. 9. They are listed in no particular order.
+NDwrestle made and attempt to reach out to each Class A coach. For only one school was I forced to guess weight classes.
+Some of the most difficult to rank were kids making big weight jumps and in those cases we erred with the wrestler returning at the same weight.
+Bismarck state champion Brandt Kringlie is the glaring omission. Kringlie will miss time in the early part of the year due to injury and will be added to the rankings upon his return to the Demon lineup as is always NDwrestle policy.
