Tournament sleeper: Centennial’s Dan LeRoy. Wrestled mostly at 125, where he defeated Reservoir’s Tim Schwartz, and suffered his lone league losses to Glenelg’s Brian Marcoux and Howard’s Tyler Bulger, by decisions each time. Placed fourth, third and sixth, respectively, in last year’s county, region and state tournament — all at 119 pounds.
