Last Year:
In 2023, it was Killingly (CT) who came away with the title, beating New Fairfield, (CT),
213.5 - 202.5.
This Year:
Killingly (CT) looks to repeat this year and few challengers stand in their way. Look for New Fairfield (CT) and Windham (CT) to pose a threat.

Last Year:
Avon (CT) beat RHAM (CT) by half a point in what many see as a controversial ending:
Rham was deducted points for a wrestler being on the mat with his singlet straps down.
This Year:
The Raptors from RHAM (CT) are ready to contend again for a title—and are going to make sure to keep the singlet all the way on this year. Berlin (CT), Foran (CT), and Branford (CT), however, look to be some very tough competitors.

It was all Xavier in 2023. The Falcons beat out the Green Wave from New Milford (CT) 293.5-269. Simsbury (CT), Newtown (CT), and Stratford (CT) rounded out the top five.
This Year:
No. 2 Xavier (CT) looks to run away with this tournament again. However, it is worth noting that New Milford (CT) beat out star-studded No. 4 Newtown (CT) for an SWC title. Expect to see those two along with No. 17 Simsbury (CT) battling for second place.

Last Year:
Was it Danbury (CT) that topped the podium last year? East Hartford (CT)? Did Fairfield Warde (CT) come away with the State LL title in 2023? Nope. Trumbull (CT) won the crown, and the Eagles did it with no champions, two silver medalists, and six other wrestlers on the podium.
This Year:
No. 8 East Hartford (CT), No. 13 Southington (CT), and No. 24 Danbury (CT) are the only ranked teams in the field. Ridgefield (CT), an honorable mention, could pose a threat as could Fairfield Warde (CT). And most certainly you cannot count out the host—Trumbull.

Last Year:
Wells (ME) blew everyone out of the water scoring 181 points. It wasn’t even close. The next three teams’ totals added together barely go over Wells’ final score: Belfast (ME) 63.5, Mattanawcook (ME) 62, Oceanside (ME) 59.
This Year:
Wells (ME) is the clear favorite again. The only real battle here is for second place.

Last Year:
This is definitely the toughest division/class in New England. If your team wins the MIAA D1 State Tournament, you're in good shape to do well at the All-States and New Englands.
St. John’s Prep (MA) won the event in 2023, beating out Natick (MA), Shawsheen Tech (MA), Central Catholic (MA), and Chelmsford (MA) who round out the top five.
This Year:
With seven top 25 teams and two honorable mentions, this year’s tournament is STACKED and promises exciting matchups. No. 3 Haverhill (MA) is the highest-ranked team entering the event, but you cannot count out any team here. No. 5 Shawsheen Tech (MA), No. 9 St. John’s Prep (MA), and No. 12 Central Catholic (MA) may be the biggest contenders. The loss of previously ranked No. 3 (150) Xaedyn Natal hurts No. 10 Monty Tech’s chances to place in the top five.

Another tough Massachusetts tournament, Milford (MA) came away with the victory in 2023. Minnechuag (MA) was second, Bridgewater-Raynham (MA) and Sharon (MA) followed.
This Year:
No. 14 Milford (MA) is the favorite to repeat. No. 20 Billerica (MA) and No. 21 Milton (MA) have spoilery thoughts on their minds, and it will be interesting to see how the rest of the teams do behind their No. 1 ranked wrestlers. Keep an eye on Sharon (MA) as well.

This Year:
Tewksbury (MA), an honorable mention, is the favorite heading into this tournament, but No. 23 Gloucester (MA)’s Toppan brothers are both looking for their second straight D3 titles and hoping to help their team win the trophy.

Last Year:
New Hampshire’s toughest division is always an eventful tournament. It was the Salem (NH) Blue Devils who won the event last year beating out Timberlane (NH), Londonderry (NH), Concord (NH) and Bedford (NH)
This Year:
No. 11 Bedford (NH) may be the highest ranked team but the depth of Salem (NH) and Timberlane (NH) may be enough to topple the bulldogs, however this is a stronger team than last year’s even with the loss of 2023 NHIAA state champ Peter Rincan to Massachusetts. Concord (NH) also looks to put on a show.

This Year:
Look for host Bow (NH) to try and take the title away from Plymouth (NH), and don’t discount Pelham (NH) and Souhegan (NH) as serious contenders..

Last Year:
Central (RI) won last year’s inaugural Sectional, and the Knights placed every wrestler they brought in the top eight. Lincoln (RI) came in second, followed by Toll Gate (RI) and Scituate (RI)
This Year:
No. 6 Scituate (RI) enters as the highest ranked team, but it will be interesting to see how their stars hold up to Central’s depth, which is a likely favorite to repeat. Lincoln (RI), Toll Gate (RI), and Narragansett (RI) are also looking to finish near the top.

Last Year
Greens Farms Academy (CT) took care of business last year, scoring 348.5 points and winning 8 of the 14 weight classes.
Northfield Mt Hermon (MA) came in second, Belmont Hill (MA) and Choate Rosemary Hall (CT) finished in third and fourth, respectively
This Year
The Dragons of Greens Farms Academy (CT) enter the tournament as the only prep school in the region to be nationally ranked and thus the favorite to repeat.
Northfield Mt. Hermon has made vast improvements since last year’s team. The Hogs may be the biggest threat to the GFA’s chance at a second straight crown.
