Sidney once again tops the latest Class A wrestling coaches' poll.

The three-time defending Class A state champions have been the top-ranked team in each edition of this year's polls, and the Eagles have seven top-ranked wrestlers in the 13 weight classes.

Owen Lonski (113 pounds), Zander Dean (126), Jordan Darby (138), Aden Graves (152), Kade Graves (160), Riley Waters (205) and Brodey Skogen (HWT) are Sidney's top-ranked wrestlers, but the Eagles have several inside the top six, as well.

Dean was not ranked in last week's coaches' poll but jumped to the top spot after making his season debut. Darby was No. 2 at 145 last week but is top-ranked after dropping down a class.

Aden Graves dropped from 160 to 152, retaining his top-ranked status in the process. Brother Kade Graves is now the top-ranked wrestler at 160.

Sidney has one wrestler in the top six in all 13 weight classes.

Frenchtown checks in at No. 2 in the latest coaches' poll, as the Broncs have a handful of wrestlers ranked in the top six of their respective weight classes. Landon Stewart (103) and Eli Warner (120) are the only top-ranked Frenchtown grapplers. John Warner (138) was the top-ranked wrestler last week but dropped to third this week behind Sidney's Darby and Hayden Azure of Glendive.

Lewistown checks in third, as the Eagles have three top-ranked wrestlers. Cooper Birdwell (132) is gunning for his fourth state title, while Keaton Potter (170) and Landon Farrar (182) are making their first appearances this year as top-ranked wrestlers.
