TEAM OVERVIEW:

The Bees have 3 wrestlers that will begin the 2020 season atop the rankings, these 3 will score a bunch of points at State.  Cochran put up 30 last year, Ricks 29.5 add in an improved and bigger Kellen Collier who'll likely score in the upper 20s, and those 3 score more than a lot of teams in the state on their own.  Add Marx to the mix and if Box Elder can get a couple of other kids to step up, they will have a decent shot at challenging Wasatch and Payson.

Impact Freshmen:

For those familiar with Box Elder wrestling, it is no surprise that there are kids with the last name Murray or Ricks who are expected to make s huge impact on the mat.  

Brandon Murray is a solid wrestler,  he has placed at all the big tournaments, Salt Lake Slam, Bee Hive Brawl, Northern State and Super State.  He will continue to develop in the Box Elder room and make an impact on the Bees' chances.  

Jackson Ricks is another in a Box Elder wrestling Legacy family.  HIs 2 brothers have 5 Titles between them, and Bridger has 2 years to win two more, and Garrett will look to add some NJCAA hardware to the mantle.  Jackson comes in as a Super State Champion, and a dominant wrestler.  Can he win a title as a freshman?  He has a skill set that makes it a strong possibility.
