July 11th, 2024 New England Rankings

Updated: Jul 26

As we head into midsummer, we have had plenty of awesome events. Though school may be out, there were still chances for top New England talent to show out at major tournaments, such as the NHSCA National Duals, the New England Freestyle Duals, and of course, the Revolution Wrestling Festival.

Results were grabbed from these events and more to create this current set of rankings. Insider updates from wrestlers, parents, and coaches that were received via Instagram and email were also taken into account. Question, comment, or concern? email me! schwartzreportne@gmail.com

106

We get into these new rankings at 106lbs and immediately see two freshmen land in the top three. No. 1 John Woodall (Franklin, MA), a freshman who is a mutli-time NHSCA All-American, occupies the top spot; following him at No. 2 is 2024 New England placer Kylan Berry (Marshwood, ME). No. 3 Scott Cole (Scituate, RI) is another freshman that will be looking to make some noise in the high school scene.

2024 New England champion No. 1 Cole Lemovitz (Ponaganset, RI) holds on to the top spot. No. 3 Logan Costello (Ashland, MA) is a big riser after he beat No. 6 Antoine Jackman (Greater Lowell, MA) at the Revolution Duals.

No. 5 Nathan Morales (Andover, MA) is an incoming freshman and made his presence known when he also took out Jackman. No. 8 Jayden Mendes (North Attleborough, MA) joins the rankings after calculating in a missed win from last season over No. 2 Derek Marcolini (Milford, MA). Marcolini leads the series 2-1.

120

If everyone stays put, 120lbs is BY FAR the most stacked weight class. SEVEN New England placers feature in the top eight, and the odd one out is a George Bossi Tournament runner-up who was injured during the postseason.

No. 1 Peter Rincan (Billerica, MA) has said he is dropping down to this weight class, dethroning 2024 New England finalist and now-No. 2 Nick Desisto (Tewksbury, MA). Other 2024 placers include No. 3 Mike Morris (Haverhill, MA), No. 4 Isaiah McDaniel (Middletown, CT), No. 5 Robby Newton (Scituate, RI), No. 6 Apollo Bellini (Ponaganset, RI), and No. 8 Chase Kastner (Southington, CT).

No. 7 Jack Gedney lost a 3-0 decision to Rincan in the 2023 Bossi finals before getting a concussion prior to the 2024 postseason.

After some weight changes, No. 1 Jared Hood (Ponagsnet, RI) remains atop the ladder, though No. 2 Braylon Gonzalez (Xavier, CT), No. 3 Nathan Sayers (Xavieran, MA), and No. 4 Isaac Quilles (East Hartford, CT) are all threats to Hood.

Some new faces at this weight class include No. 5 Cale Wood, Jr. (Haverhill, MA), No. 6 Zach Brzoska (Fairfield Warde, CT), and No. 7 Braedon Goes (St. John’s Prep, MA).

132

In a weight class that has always been anything but simple, 132 has some changes. The biggest mover is No. 4 Lance Bordeleau (Pinkerton Academy, NH). The Granite State grappler beat No. 1 Yandel Morales (Andover, MA) in a FREESTYLE match earlier this summer. In folkstyle, he also beat 2024 Newton South (MA) graduate and Top 15 Prep class of 2025 wrestler Dylan Kadish (Northfield Mt. Hermon, MA), along with No. 6 Lucas Judd (Lyman Memorial, CT).

No. 3 Cristian Pote (Danbury, CT) moves up a spot (and a weight class), and No. 18 Logan Martins (Johnston, RI) has been recently wrestling at this weight, as well.

No. 8 Camden Arbogast (Pinkerton Academy, NH) and No. 10 Brady Ouelette (Noble, ME) are also now up at this weight class. No. 11 Ethan Rodriguez (Taunton, MA) has a win over No. 19 Leo Moore (Ridgefield, CT) and is 1-1 with No. 7 Jay Chase (Sheehan, CT).

144

Nationally ranked Joe Joyce (Ponaganset, RI) still holds the No. 1 spot. No. 2 Sid Tildsley (Shawsheen Tech, MA) is the top chaser, looking for his get-back whenever and wherever it may be.

Other hammers at this weight now include No. 4 Shea Morris (Haverhill, MA), No. 5 Ben White (South Kingstown, RI), who may drop down a weight class, No. 7 Dominick Spadaro (Fairfield Warde, CT), and No. 8 Elias Kalat (Spaulding, VT). Kalat, who will be a senior, was a 2024 Vermont State champion and is back in the rankings after a misclassing in the prior edition.

No change at the top here as No. 1 David Perez (Ponaganset, RI) sits on the throne. No. 2 James Tildsley (Shawsheen Tech, MA) is the top threat currently. Two Maine wrestlers follow, No. 3 Kaden Dustin (Noble, ME) and No. 4 Michael Rollins (Camden Hills, ME).

No. 9 Cael Loria (Xavier, CT) was a 2023 CT state placer at 120 but was unable to break into the Falcons lineup last year; look for him to make some noise this upcoming season. No. 12 Abel Varzeas comes into the rankings after calculating missed results. Notably, he is 1-1 against No. 8 Caden Smith (Central Catholic, MA).

The top two sees no change but you’ve got some movement below them. 2024 New England third place finisher, No. 3 Jake Maddox (Newtown, CT), should move up to this weight class, and while No. 4 Brent Von-Magnus (Bridgewater-Raynham, MA) has been wrestling at 144lbs this offseason, he has told The Schwartz Report he plans on moving up come the high school season.

No. 6 Evan Schibi (GIlbert/Torrington, CT) could be a top threat. He’s one of several wrestlers who have been making noise this offseason: No. 13 Tyler Nevia (Trumbull, CT) won a bronze medal for Brazil at the 17u Pan-American Championships, and No. 15 Adrian Guzman (Ashland, MA) took out No. 18 Riley Storozuk (Notre Dame-West Haven, CT), a talented incoming freshman, in the finals of the Revolution Wrestling Festival.

Several new faces enter this weight class. The top two remain unchanged, but No. 3 Lucas Alvan (Ludlow, MA) is moving up all the way from 165lbs. No. 4 Jack Gianetto (Narragansett, RI) is in the rankings again. The 2024 New England placer was mistakenly misclassed and taken out of the most recent rankings.

No. 5 Edward Myles (Concord-Carlisle, MA) enters this weight class, also up from 165lbs. No. 7 Quinn Bowles moves down a weight class and solidified his top eight spot here with a win over No. 8 Isaac Preston (Vergennes, VT). No. 11 Eli Potter (Wells, ME) moves into the rankings after calculating missed wins over No. 9 Emmit Nossaman (Plymouth, NH).

Remaining at the top is No. 1 Charles Weidman (Xavier, CT), though he may be moving up to heavyweight, so keep your eyes out for that. No. 2 Matt Harrold (Haverhill, MA) had a good showing at the NHSCA National Duals and moves up a spot.

No. 9 Jacob Boucher moves up after calculating a missed win over No. 11 Chris Reiss (New Milford, CT). No. 10 Max Holloway (Agowam, MA) beat No. 12 Owen Matthews (Milford, MA) to fuel his jump up the rankings.

285

Two-time New England Champ No. 1 Thomas Brown (Chelmsford, MA) still has a strong grip on the top spot. A new contender could be No. 3 Malachi Fowler (Windham, CT) who has come up a class. No. 8 Jon DaSilva (Newtown, CT) moves up after inputting a missed win over No. 9 Nick Ebrahmi (Berlin, CT).
