7 Could Be Mountain View s Year in Div. I By Les Willsey AIA365 Mesa Mountain View has always fielded a strong wrestling program. It flies under the radar perhaps because the Toros have only state title in nearly 40 years of competition. Never mind eight runner-up finishes and last year's solid fourth-place finish in a tight Division I state meet. It's titles that get noticed. Well, a second title may be in the offing later this week. Mountain View coach Bob Callison, now in his eighth season as head coach, is convinced the body of work the team has produced is the best he's seen in his tenure. "Based on what this team has done, it's the strongest of the teams I've coached here," Callison said. "There's a lot of competition in the room. Guys push each other to keep making them better." What has Mountain View accomplished heading to state in ? For starters the Toros stretched their dualmeet winning streak to 51 wins with a 26-0 mark. The Toros won a dual-meet invitational in New Mexico and the ASU Blackford Duals just before Christmas. Mountain View participated in the Reno (Nev.) Tournament of Champions Invitational just before the Blackford Duals where they placed fourth. While that wasn't a championship, to Callison's knowledge, it's the highest an Arizona school has ever finished at the tournament. The Toros followed that by winning the Mile High Challenge in Prescott the first weekend of January. They bested Ironwood Ridge by 15 points for the top spot. If those accolades weren't enough, late last month Mountain View won the prestigious Flowing Wells Invitational for the first time, besting Sunnyside, Cibola, Corona del Sol, Ironwood Ridge and Chandler. All of them -- save Cibola which competes in D-2 -- should make noise at state if not challenge Mountain View for the title. It's quite a resume the Toros have and Mountain View would enjoy icing the cake by adding a final piece on Friday (Feb. 21) and Saturday (Feb. 22) when it shoots for the Division I crown at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott Valley. Mountain View returned three state placers from last year -- sophomore Paden Mason (5th at 106 pounds), sophomore Jerod Booth (5th at 126) and senior Ryan Gallo (6th at 135). That wouldn't be a huge panic-inducer to other contenders, but add senior Cayman Nielson (state placer in 2012), junior Blake Monty (state placer in 2012) plus the arrival of Utah junior transfers Weston and Kieffer Taylor (state placers in Utah) and the Toros have seven wrestlers who've earned a state medal. Callison believes now his team may be a bit stronger than they showed at Flowing Wells with a couple lineup changes from that meet. The changes reside mainly among the 132 through 160 (5) weight classes. The return to action from a football injury of Nielson started the chain reaction of changes. Nielson is wrestling 152. Nielson's insertion at 152 meant Monty (145), Gallo (138) and Angel Dominguez (132) dropped a class from where they wrestled at Flowing Wells. Weston Taylor, who wrestled up at 182 much of the season, has dropped to 160. Nicolas Estrada has replaced Weston Taylor at 182. Nielson and Monty both placed at state in 2012 as a sophomore and freshman, respectively. Both were injured before or during the state tournament last season and did not place. In last weekend's sectional Mountain View qualified 13 of 14 wrestlers for state with eight champions, three runnersup, a third and a fourth. No D-I school qualifed more wrestlers for state than the Toros. Defending D-I champ Sunnyside, Ironwood Ridge (up from D-2, Corona del Sol and Chandler have a handful of returning state placers -- just like the Toros. If Mountain View's lineup is as deep as thought that in itself may earn the Toros a title. They'd like and figure to need some individual champs to puncyuate a title should they win it. They won one individual title in taking the crown at Flowing Wells, so the Toros depth is their greatest asset. page 5

20 Wide-Open Battle for Div. II Title By Don Ketchum AIA365 Tucson Ironwood Ridge won last year s Division II state wrestling championship quite handily. But the school wrestled at the Division I level in , opening the door for several schools to step in and take over in Division II on Feb. 21 and 22 at Tim s Toyota Center in Prescott Valley. Which school will be the one? It could be Yuma Cibola, which moved down from Division I to Division II. Or perhaps fellow Yuma school Gila Ridge, which finished second to Ironwood Ridge in Division II a year ago. Other possible breakthroughs are Vail Cienega, Marana Mountain View, Queen Creek, Tempe Marcos de Niza, Prescott or Phoenix Barry Goldwater. Four wrestlers will return to defend their state titles. Gila Ridge s Nathan Mendivil is back at 106 pounds, although he didn t win in the D-II, Section I tournament. That honor went to Brandon Courtney of Goodyear Desert Edge, who scored a 5-3 win in overtime. Also back is Jacob Swift of Glendale Deer Valley. He moved up from 126 pounds to 138, and won in the Section IV tournament. Troy Vandall of Goldwater won at 132 pounds a year ago and now is at 145 after his win in Section IV. Kyle Jividen of Tucson Sahuaro will be back at 285, the top level. He won in Section II. Kingman will be looking for its first individual champion since 1983 (Victor Martez). The man most likely to accomplish the feat would be C.J. Gore, who won at 160 pounds in Section IV.
