Heard Syd Tidsley was dropping to 132 . assuming that bouyssou might drop to 38 after wrestling escape the rock at that weight . This shakes things up at 32 if true

Love what he said here "While Peyton Ellis of Coventry, R.I., is firmly in the No. 1 spot, there is a bit of shakeup in the top 10. No. 5 Martim Moniz (East Providence, RI) moved into the top 10 after using three pins to win Connecticut Challenge in Southington that included a 3-2 win over then-No. 3 Cameron Davis (Cranston West, RI) in that tournament. Davis drops out of the top 10 due to Rhode Island qualifying only three wrestlers per weight class. However, it looks like there are not one, not two, not three, but four possible hammers coming out of RI in this weight class, gunning for a spot on the New England podium." |

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there is possibly 5. We're really strong in this weight class this year. Actually Rhode Island as a whole is extremely strong. We might have to petition for fourth spot in the upcoming years. |

Some notes on New England contenders before States/State Opens. Jack Richardson of Killingly, 2022 145 NE champ, did drop to 152 for the Connecticut Class S championships, winning easily, so will likely be one of the top competitors at NEs in this class. Oddly, he stayed at 160 for the Eastern Connecticut Conference championships the week before and was pinned in the semis while ahead 13-5. I've never understood how CT wrestlers can compete in a different weightclass for their conference championship to qualify for State Class, or even not compete in the conference as Danbury sometimes does with their stars, then be in the State tourney and the State Open the next week. So he is a major challenger for Hood at 152 the following weekend.
Meanwhile in Massachusetts, NE runner-up James Tildsley of Shawsheen Tech has remained at 132 lbs., though he won the MIAA D1 State title in a tight 3-2 contest in OT over Shaun McManus of Natick. I don't know whether this pair or CT stalwarts Kayden Ware of Killingly or Kevin Levesque of Xavier pose the greater challenges to Myers. Meanwhile, brother Sidney Tildsley and 132 NE champ also had a closer than expected match at 5-3 over Jayden D'Ambrosino of St. Johns Prep. Please get used to this surname since James is only a freshman (he was second at 106 last season as an 8th grader!) and Sidney is a sophomore, so they're around for a while. The Massachusetts 285 juggernaut continues apace with returning NE place-winners Brown of Chelmsford, Kaye-Kuter of Milford and Marceau of Melrose - all of whom are also NHXCA All-Americans - each winning their Division so on a collision course for the MIAA All States this weekend. Also, No. 8 in NE ranked Cesar Alvan was pinned in the DIII finals by No. 7 Joseph Tully of Carver. The 160 class is going to be a bear at NEs with this pair and retuning NE champ Iwanicki of St. Johns and Bourjelli of New Milford, CT not to mention Nicolisi of Haverhill, MA who strangely forfeited to 6th in the Division 1 tourney. Mr. Reall will certainly have his work cut out for him.

Here are the latest New England rankings from Max Schwartz on Connecticut Wrestling Online, which I believe are his next-to-last rankings for the season (one more after States Opens). He does a good job of expanding on ratings changes from results in various State Divisions Championships (it always amazes me that New Hampshire has three separate state tournaments). Max doesn't address it directly but his omission verifies that Danbury's Deydon Soto, who was ranked as high as 3rd in NE, is out at 113. I assumed so since Soto wasn't entered in Danbury's lineup in the State LL Championships, but you never know with other states formats. Max does state a case for RI deserving extra entries in some weightclasses, in this case 170 lbs., as he did earlier for 120. I believe he will do a final ranking next week prior to the New England championships. Link to ctwrestling.com: ctwrestling.com/2023/02/max-schwartzs-new-england-rankings-feb-22-2023/6858/ |

I’m sorry, I understand Massachusetts is much bigger than us but there is no reason at all they should bring 7 wrestlers to New Englands. Even Connecticut getting 5 is a little much |

Link to ctwrestling.com: ctwrestling.com/2023/02/max-schwartzs-new-england-rankings-feb-22-2023/6858/Max Schwartz, the author of the CT Online New England rankings, has made a couple comments about the need for RI to either have an additional bid (making it 4 per weight class) or for the Tournamnet Directors of the New England Wrestling Tournament to use the same/similar formula as NCAA uses to allocate bids. The NCAA formula is complex; awarding automatic bids to Conferences on a per weight basis while also having the discretion to award 3 at large bids per weight class. The formula includes winning percentage, Ranking, and an RPI index which is made up of your strength of schedule, your opponents strength of schedule and their opponents strength of schedule. This would be very difficult to objectivly determine in New England. A much easier format would be to award RI an additional automatic bid which make the total of 4, and give the Tournament Directors 2 at large bids that could be given to any of the 6 NE states. The tournament Directors shoukd (my persoanl opinion) choose the two wrestlers based on 6 candidates (1 from each state) that placed 1 number lower then the automatic qualifiers- MA 8th, CT 6th, RI 5th, ME, NH, VT 4th. If any of the those candidates are needed to fill an alternate role, then the list of would only shrink rather than be backfield like the alternates. Does RI need more automatic bids? If we go by Schwartz's rankings we see a few interesting areas that would indicate yes. RI is very deep at 120, 126, 132, 160, 170, 195, and 220 but specifically at 120, and 170. This new ranking that dropped 2/23/2023 has Tyler Hunter (TG) ranked 5th at 170. He has taken place of Oliver Parker (CF/BVP). Not because Parker isn't one of the top 170 in New England, he clearly is. He has wins over, Hunter#5, Baccala #3, and Winfield #8 (160). His only loss this season was in the finals of sectionals. 5-4 vs Hunter. A similar situation occurred at 120. Cam Davis (CW) was ranked as high as #2 in Schwartz Poll. After a 3-2 loss to Moniz (EP), Davis dropped from the rankings all together because the weight class is already represented by the max amount of wrestlers that could qualify for New England's. Cam has gone on to have a loss to Perez (Pono) but he is still very much in the conversation. RI currently has the same amount of bids as ME, VT, and NH In this weeks rankings RI has 32 wrestlers ranked and at least 1 in every weight class. ME, NH, & VT have 31 ranked wrestlers combined. At last year's New England Tournament RI had 16 spots on the podium. That's 1 in every 5 medalists having a 401 area code. Currently projected to have 21 (Could be 22-23 but Max has Logan Reiner listed as 8th despite a current undefeated season and wins over #4 Alchihed (CW) and #10 (at the time) Mike Gianetti (Trumbull) and my personal prediction Enas Castillo-CE could be the surprise of states and New Englands. ) VT, ME, & NH have a combined 8 projected medalists. In addition, last year's New England saw 34 of the 42 RI wrestlers have at least 1 win, and almost half of the kids currently ranked are coming back next year. When it comes down to it I think RI should have at least 1 more automatic bid. I don't think MA, or CT should have a bid taken away to accommodate RI. Given the tournament Directors 2 at large bids could be a very beneficial to helping any state that has a log jam at a weight class like we see at 120 and 170. The addition of 1-3 wrestlers does not change the timing of the tournament by a considerable amount. |

I think it is definately time for Rhode Island to get that 4th spot for a couple reasons. The quality of Wrestling is improving fast in RI, where I feel VT and ME are on a decline. I am not even sure how many VT and ME wrestlers were top 3. Secondly, RI has hosted the New Englands the last several yrs and Im sure they plan on hosting it since it is conveinent for all states and the NE Council since its in the middle of the NE region. RI should be rewarded the 4th for being host state. I cant see it delaying the tournament that much on Friday night since it would only be one extra pigtail per class.
Congrats to All of RI wrestlers getting there and to those who placed and became Champs.
