Head coach: Ryan English, third season

Returning lettermen: Eleven

Top wrestlers: Josh Ozuna (Sr.), Wyatt English (Fr.), Kaden Lizares (Jr.), Jacob Chavez (Jr.), Damian Ortega (Sr.), Bobby Merritt (Sr.), Charles Atkerson (Sr.)

Outlook: Ozuna, who likely will wrestle at 220 pounds this season, was a Sunrise Region champion and placed third in the state meet last year.

The Falcons also return region runnersup in Chavez (126) and Atkerson (195) and third-place finishers in the region meet in Lizares (113), Ortega (138) and Merritt (170).

“We want to place in the top two at regionals and top five in the state,” coach English said. “We have three possible state champions.”
