Teams with most Returning Starters

OPRF just dominated the wrestling scene for a couple seasons and then poof....they were gone! IC has now come out of nowhere and has an elite wrestling team that just won the Catholic League Tournament
Yes. They have a strong connection to Izzy Martinez, who although not a coach, is very involved in the development of the IC wrestling program. Nothing, other than maybe CPS basketball, comes close to the recruiting and connections that happen with wrestling. The top programs are always going to be private schools. IC, Marmion, Marist, MC, Joliet Catholic, Montini, Providence. You still have some solid homegrown public schools like Sandburg, Washington, Lincoln Ways, and now Hononegah, but for those schools to compete with the private schools in wrestling is near impossible. Yes St. Charles East won it a few years ago, but that was also built by move-ins of elite D1 wrestlers. They are good this year but not top to bottom like they were the last couple of years.
 
Moving is not required within a 30 mile radius at a private. Maybe to play the very next year not sure. No matter what you would have to move to play at another public school.
Yes moving is required within a 30 mile radius. It’s the same damn rules
 
Yes you do have to move. My son went from public to private this past season
No you do not. Just declare financial hardship.

We had a parent one year worried that the local private school would protest that as they offered to cut the kids tuition in half if he stayed 😄

It is my understanding the Public to Private transfers are allowed due to moving residences or academic needs. To go from Private to Public would just require a financial hardship statement. I do not think you can justify transferring to a Private school from a Public school because of financial hardship.
