Saif Altayyar (162)

Grace Davis, senior

Altayyar (30-6) has shown more confidence and aggressiveness this season, and the results are seen in his record.

Last week, he went 4-0 and won the 162-pound class at Pitman High's Rumble In The Jungle. In the final, Altayyar led 5-1 but found himself on his back briefly before he completed the roll for an exciting second-round pin of Atwater's Kyle Thorpe.

"He can score points both from his feet and on top. He's very offensive this year," Davis coach Bobby Posadas said.

Though Altayyar never has made Sac-Joaquin Section Masters, he is a threat to reach both Masters and State.
