Dylan,

Thanks for making the changes in the ranked wrestlers according to Coach Brown's most recent listing; I cut and pasted your work into my post!!! ;-) I also updated the team rankings so they too conform with Coach Brown's most recent post. (Still 7 of the top ten teams).

Not sure why the Salina Journal's rankings on Sunday were different from Coach Brown's Sunday post. But we are now current.

Any predictions for the weekend? Can someone provide a list of what/who to watch out for at each weight?

Gonna be a fun filled couple of days in Norton! Wish I was out there.

does anyone know if Zach Eaton goes to school at Smith Center or if he just wrestles for them? I've heard he goes to school there, and also heard that he still goes to school at Bennington.

Is over 50% considered a "mini state"?

I mean WOW!!!

Wrestling 4 life-Zach Eaton does go to school at Smith Center.

to the top!

Let the Fun begin today!

What time will the brackets be posted?

I think this is the toughest Regionals in the State of Kansas and it's gonna be real exciting!!!

They said the brackets should be posted by noon. Go to www.usd211.org or http://regionals.usd211.org/ and that will give you all the information you need.

I can't find a link to the brackets, just the live video and audio. Can someone post a link to the brackets.

Never mind. I found it.
