With several of the Class B wrestling tournaments being canceled, there wasn’t as much movement in the Dakota Grappler wrestling rankings as normal. 

The top-five Class B teams were the same this week except for Winner Area and Custer trading the No. 5 and No. 4 rankings from a week ago. Canton is predicted to score 163 points at the state meet ahead of Philip/Kadoka Area/Wall Badlands Brawlers (140) and McCook Central/Montrose (119). Winner Area (110) and Custer (89) rounded out the top-five ranked Class B teams this week. 

Only one wrestler moved to a No 1 ranking this week and it wasn’t because of a loss. McCook Central/Montrose grappler Austin Hoiten has been ranked all year at 285. This week he made the drop down to 220 and jumped right into the No. 1 ranking, ahead of Parker’s Levi Wieman who was ranked No. 1 for the first time last week at 220.
