100 lbs
- #1 Natalie Roberson – Katy
- Jubilee Rendon – El Paso Franklin – 6A State 3rd
There isn’t much depth at this weight, but #1 Natalie Roberson (Katy) will have the chance to test her progression against Jubilee Rendon (El Paso Franklin), who took 3rd at 6A State last year. Rendon has been dominant this season, with her only loss coming to freshman phenom Hailey Delgado (El Paso Eastwood).
107 lbs
- #3 Emily Beltran – Katy
- #4 @114 Kylie Smith – College Park
- #10 @114 Miaham Jimenez – Caney Creek
- Mattilyn Givens – Allen – 6A State 5th
Smith (College Park) and Jimenez (Caney Creek) have both dropped a weight class, entering a tough bracket. #3 Emily Beltran (Katy) has been one of the breakout stars of the season and will get the chance to challenge returning state placer Mattilyn Givens (Allen). Interestingly, Smith was holding her own against Givens earlier this season but was caught and pinned early. This should be a fantastic bracket to watch.
114 lbs
- #2 Nevada Daniels – Cinco Ranch – Returning 6A State 4th
- #6 @120 Layla Castro – Caney Creek
- Mariah Dillard – Azle – Returning 5A State Champ
- Grace Romans – Allen – Returning 6A State Champ
- Mia Ramirez – Frisco Centennial – Returning 5A State 4th
- Fiona Smith – El Paso Franklin – Doc Hess Champ
This bracket is stacked. Mariah Dillard (Azle) is one of the best girls in Texas, recognized on the national scene. She’s up against a loaded field, including 6A State Champion Grace Romans (Allen) and two other state placers. Nevada Daniels (Cinco Ranch) has been solid all year and will be looking to prove herself against the top girls in the state. This one will be exciting to watch unfold.
120 lbs
- #1 Vanessa De La Cruz – College Park – Returning 6A State Runner-Up
- #7 Nuradriann Adam – Katy
- #8 @126 Alicia Acevedo – Cinco Ranch
- Lynleigh Weltzin – Thompson – Alabama State Runner-Up
- Mia Butler – Shawnee – Kansas State 5th
- Lucy Clarno – Dripping Springs
- Naime Abdallah – El Paso Franklin
There’s plenty of out-of-state talent in this bracket to challenge #1 Vanessa De La Cruz (College Park). With state placers from Alabama and Kansas joining the mix, this will be a true test for De La Cruz. Keep an eye on Lucy Clarno (Dripping Springs), who has had an impressive season as a freshman and could be a serious contender for the title.
126 lbs
- #1 Violet De La Cruz – College Park – Returning 6A State 4th
- #6 @132 Mackenzie Drosche – Cinco Ranch
- #9 Alina Hopkins – Katy
- Kailin Sebert – Allen – Returning 6A State Champ
- Jordyn Parker – Frisco Centennial – Returning 5A State Runner-Up
- Echo Cranor – Keller Central
This bracket is one of the toughest, with Kailin Sebert (Allen) emerging as the favorite after already defeating Violet De La Cruz (College Park) earlier this season. Jordyn Parker (Frisco Centennial), a returning 5A runner-up, will also be looking to challenge the 6A girls. Watch out for Mackenzie Drosche (Cinco Ranch), who has moved down a weight class and has had a solid season.
132 lbs
- #1 Anna Vogt – College Park – Returning 6A State Runner-Up
- #7 Kylie Brown – Clear Springs
- #3 @138 Haley Pitts – Katy
- #8 @138 Michelle Holden – Cinco Ranch
- #11 @126 Isabel Trujillo – Caney Creek
- Lynn Horn – Blanchard – Oklahoma State Runner-Up
This weight class sees a lot of Houston talent, with many wrestlers moving between weight classes. #1 Anna Vogt (College Park) is the favorite, but Lynn Horn (Blanchard), an Oklahoma State runner-up, could provide a challenge. Vogt has faced top-tier competition all season, and I expect that trend to continue. Haley Pitts (Katy), down a weight, will be a contender and could very well make it to the finals against Vogt.
138 lbs
- #2 Kathryn Kaminski – Caney Creek – Returning 6A State 6th
- #5 @132 Nevaeh Biggers – Katy
This bracket is less crowded, but Kathryn Kaminski (Caney Creek) has had a fantastic season so far and should be one of the top contenders for the title here.
145 lbs
- #1 @138 Landri Von Gonten – College Park – Returning 5A State Champ
- #2 Savannah Freifeld – Katy
- #5 Mia Medrano – Cinco Ranch
- Jayada Ramos – El Paso Franklin – Returning 6A State 5th
- Ayden Quinones – El Paso Pebble Hills
Another intriguing weight class impacted by mid-season weight changes. Landri Von Gonten (College Park) has dominated at 138 but is moving up to 145 for this tournament. Savannah Freifeld (Katy) has been consistent all season, and Jayada Ramos (El Paso Franklin), a returning state placer, will also be in the mix. Expect Von Gonten to continue her dominance, but it will be interesting to see if anyone can challenge her at this new weight class.
152 lbs
- #7 Desiree Romero – College Park
- Leona Lane – Rockwall – Returning 6A State 6th
- Mackenzie Thomas – Comal Canyon
There may not be as many big names from Houston in this bracket, but Desiree Romero (College Park) has had a solid season and could be poised for a breakthrough performance here.
185 lbs
- #2 Jayaunna Ennis – College Park
- #10 Annabelle Rollwitz – Cinco Ranch
- Juliana Lefort – Allen
Jayaunna Ennis (College Park) has had an excellent season, consistently placing at tournaments, which is no small feat given the tough competition at College Park. Juliana Lefort (Allen), who missed the dual meet showdown in The Woodlands earlier this season, will have an opportunity to face Ennis in this Region 2 battle.
