*Updated with the addition of Cody Rudolph (Stanley) at 145.
+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 B coach. Generally, if I did not hear from someone, the rankable wrestler was moved up one weight fromt he previous year.
+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.
+Central Cass state finalist Jake Deutsch and PCN state finalist Tanner Urlaub are the glaring omissions. Deutsch is at Central Cass, but has made the decision to focus on basketball this season. Urlaub is dealing with a football injury and hopes to return sometime in the second half of the season. As is always NDwrestle policy, Urlaub will enter the rankings after his first competition.
