GREEN VALLEY

Head coach: Jon Ferry, 15th season

Returning lettermen: Six

Top wrestlers: Steele Dias (Sr.), Will Zernich (Jr.), David Kalayanaprapruit (Jr.), Jeremy Hoffman (Jr.), Justus Scott (Jr.), Desmond Bowers (Sr.)

Outlook: After finishing second in the Class 4A state meet last year, the Gators return four state champions in Dias (likely will wrestle at 120), Zernich (likely 126), Scott (likely 160) and Bowers (likely 170). Each is stepping up a weight class from last season.

Kalayanaprapruit (132) and Hoffman (145 or 152) each placed fourth at state.

“Our team outlook is what it is every year in our program — have our returners improve and become elite, and our new athletes to our line up step up individually and contribute,” Ferry said. “Hopefully that equals success.”
