This weight class is a joke this year. It goes from one of the toughest in 4A to the worst in the state. None of the top six of last year return and in my opinion this is the worst weight in any class in the state!
Time will tell, the one thing that keeps them up there is the fact you have to actually win more then a match to qualify for state at your regional, so some would argue with your assumption, but I do agree this weight took a big hit with graduations and falling off the maps by top returners.
