Does CA have the deepest state tournament bracket?

AC Slater was a solid CA wrestler back in the 90’s

The advantage of the CA state tournament is that there’s only 1. The other top wrestling states breaks their State tournaments into like 2-7 different tournaments so the talent pool in a single tournament is diluted. Ca has the most wrestlers just because it has the most population by far. The average CA wrestler isn’t a stand out in the rest of the county like an average PA wrestler might be but the people placing in state make up the highest percentile amongst their peers.

A few weeks ago Daniel zepeda’s team came to the Louisiana classic and slaughtered everybody. It’s crazy that he’s only fifth

167 lbs boys turn into men. I wrestled 185 in HS, my Dad wouldn't let me cut weight because my older brothers did it the wrong way. I lost to to the state champ 5-2. I wrestled 167 in college, Michigan UP, Lake Superior State, because the coach kicked are butts we averaged 30 miles a week. But that was a lifetime ago, 40 years. Love the sport. My 2 cents.

It’s amazing to know Miguel goes to my school bros a beast

Iowa and Pennsylvania are collectively laughing at the title of this video.

Miguel used to come into my gas station in Bakersfield all the time! He is a good kid and he has his head on straight. We used to talk about the ufc fights after every weekend they were on! Wish him nothing but the best of luck

Im a first year and i thought itd be a good idea to cut more down to 150 instead of staying at 57. I havent won a match in this class.

I remember when the north ran it all Illinois had my fav prospects

I wrestled in as a freshman in HS in the Bay Area. The toughest tourneys were in the Central Valley. No Joke. I got my ass handed to me and you see other freshman from that area wrestling varsity. I was decent but not like them. Ended up playing basketball the following year since it was in the same season as Wrestling. Grew to 6'3 as a point guard so that was my calling.

You need to do a quick take on Clovis Unified School Districts utter domination of The California State Tournament. CUSD’s Buchanan High School has Won 7 States Championships in a Row & expected to take this Years/2024 also

[jj-nhlz]

Toughest bracket is often at the mid point of the weights, 152, 157. So many young guys at this weight and fierce competition

[carlitoviramontes]

California is definitely the toughest state to become champion! It’s only 1 and to get there is a whole another thing! Going through league, then CIF, then Masters… just to get to state and then a 32 man bracket! 🥇

Pennsylvania wrestling blows any state out of the water..

[totoriina]

Imagine being from Pennsylvania and Having to listen to this 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣

[vetjansvcs]

True but when you add up the dominate teams they are in nj, pa, oh, ny, and everyone else

gilroys good i saw zepeda wrestle at sectionals since we're in the same section that guys crazy good

[ericgaskins]

I remember when i was in high school st eds was number one and walsh Jesuit was number 2. Not in the state but in the nation. The dual match was insane. Dam near 8 thousand people showed up to see it

Our 150 pounder at Whitney (who is ranked 8th) went against parco and almost got tech falled, our guy is very good at takedowns and didn’t even come close to a takedown, and last year at state he went against laird root, and well.. he didn’t win. He’s now dropped down to 144 and is ranked 5th, no hard guys in his weight class, he could win it all this year

The Montanona family has been a legitimate threat in California for like a decade. Anthony was like #6 at 170 in like 2017. Didn’t know there was a 3rd. California realistically has probably the toughest route to placing in state (I know Penn has a lot of really good wrestlers) because there’s 3 major tournaments you have to place in to make it to state in the first place. Most states you get into state by placing top 3 out of 16 one time and shit.
