Many of the weights are incorrect in the rankings. Mike Mancuso of Junction City will be wrestling 130 as he has all year. He is the defending Basehor Champion with the following placers lined up behind him last year:
2nd)Hulse (Turner)-3rd in 5A
3rd)Baker (BV)-5A state champion
4th)Briggs (Garden City)-3rd in 6A
5th)Geske (Abilene)-4A state placer?
6th)Deeds (Goodland)-4A state champion
Lots of these guys are back so it should be a good battle.

Dexter Deeds is 135. There is a Deeds at 130 but that is younger brother Aaron. Dexter should win his bracket.

TEAM RANKINGS FROM DEC. 17. 13 RANKED TEAMS AND THE TOP RANKED

Sadly, Jimmy Stewart got hurt and is out for the rest of this season.

Tyler Gonzalez hurt his knee and may not wrestle this weekend. Also, I would have Hoffman of Shawnee Heights in the HVY final over Rittinghouse.

Thought I would share some interesting
information regarding undefeateds at 152, 160, and 171. These are records that were
sent in today.

152 (6 undefeated wrestlers)

Erisman-DeSoto-19-0
Bailes-Turner-16-0
Collins-Glenwood-15-0
Hall-Fort Scott-14-0
Smith-Chapman-14-0
Schmale-SFT-12-0

160 (4 undefeated wrestlers)

Taplin-Abilene-16-0
Artist-Glenwood-15-0
Eden-SFT-12-0
Irvine-Chapman-12-0

171 (4 Undefeated wrestlers)

Malloy-Shawnee Heights-21-0
Sonderegger-SME-18-0
Wiscombe-SFT-17-0
Kates-Glenwood-7-0

There are also 12 other undefeated wrestlers
in various classes.

I know it was a exibition match. But I think Erisman has been beat by Taplin this year. And I also saw where Taplin beat Irvine this past weekend. Does anyone know if Taplin won by fall or a decision.

why do they have ryker from garden at 135? acording to past tournoment results he's been wrestling 145? are the tournoment results wrong or is something not right?? just wondering?

Ryker has been entered at 145.

Taplin Beat Erisman 2-1 in that exhibition

thanx joe keeler that was really confusing me because rankings still have him 4th at 135 also and then this i was getting really confused. its not like he'll do much with that bracket ya know its not as tough as 152 but still a decently tough bracket but that raises another question...if he's at 145 then where has jeremy kemp gone????????????

152

Eden may get a chance at a rematch with Artist of Glenwood. If you remember they met in finals at 145 last year. Going into overtime tied 1-1 Eden missed a take down and Artist capitalized. Looks like Artist has been dominating in Iowa and goes against top ranked kid from Lewis Central thursday night. This Poll shows 171 as the class of this meet but throw ( Taplin, Artist, or Eden ) in and any one of them might be in the finals at 171 also. Might be interesting.

Silver Lake has just been added to the Bobcat
Classic due to a tournament being cancelled
that they were planning to attend. This adds
another state ranked team and a number of
quality wrestlers.

coach niel from a long post ago almaguir beat madhl 13-4 at ON BV duals i think almaguir gets number two on ur predictions...

thebestandfinest1

I made no predictions. Those were just breakdowns of where they are ranked in the KWCA.

125 looks pretty tough but i think Dawson will win it.

good luck to my trial boys wiscombe an eden try an not wreslte like sissy A** girls hahaha- cody bell

I like the fact Silver Lake got in on last minute and out of the cancelled St. Mary's which used to be one of the toughest tournaments in the state about 5-6 years ago.

BTW...Irvine had 1 loss coming into the Bobcat, Taplin pinned him in the finals of Herington last week in about 30 seconds.

Speaking of Taplin...anybody know the background of the Glenwood guy he has in the finals?

What are the Trail wrestlers on trial for??
