Holliday's 3-2-1A picks

I feel confident in most of these. Team scores, I really have no clue.

106: Trey Francka Chase Co
113: Joey Defore Dexter
120: John Risewick Norton
126: Dylan Schumacher TMP
132: Brogan Humphrey Fredonia
138: Calvin Ochs Hoxie
145: Tagen Lambotte Rossville
152: Ky Biddle Burden Central
160: Eric Albers Oakley
170: Jesse LaMay Wellsville
182: Tyler Lowe Eureka
195: Colt Castlebury Douglass
220: Riley O'Harrah Goodland
285: Luke Hayes Scott City

Top 3 teams:
1. Scott City
2. Hoxie
3. Goodland

You should have waited a couple of days to build the suspense! LOL
Disagree at 120: I'm picking Kough
at 132: I'm gonna go with Mulligan. A SR - SO matchup, I'll take the SR.

Pretty similar to mine except ill take kough at 120 and English at 285.

I like Mulligan and Kough as well.

Dexter?

Dexter KS, home to a great home-made candy shop. We used to live in Central Burden 20 years ago now, I always liked the trip to the candy store for some reason.

Sorry for my ignorance, is there a Dexter High School?

I just looked it up in the KSHSAA membership directory and sure enough there is. It's listed as being on main street. They are a co-op team with Central Burden for wrestling I believe.

I have a pretty loose criteria when deciding a state champion. How much state experience does he have? Has he wrestled in a state title match? When it comes to Risewick and Kough, flip a coin. I'll give Risewick the slightest of edges because he's wrestled in two state title matches.

No personal knowledge about the young man myself, I just know the town.

Defore was a 5th place finisher last year at 112. He's a pretty tough kid. 113 certainly isn't one of the more "loaded" weight classes.

I found their facebook page Dexter School District, so I am learning new things every day. They are called the Spartans, but clearly they have a Cardinal with a big "D" on its sweater for a mascot.

I believe that Dexter consolidated with Cedar Vale or they combine with one another in sports, this is why there are two mascots. Spartans is the name of their team sports and I guess for individual sports Dexter continues to go by the Cardinals moniker, but I could be wrong.

Dexter USD 471

Cedar Vale USD 285

How about a list of Non favorites:

106: Khamin Crow Silver Lake
113: Keegan Amos Holcomb
120: Austin Avelar Goodland
126: Hunter Speer Horton
132: Kasey Biddle BCentral
138: Brody Carroll Marion
145: Eddie Creek Marysville
152: Dalton Snyder Hoxie
160: Colten Johnson Marion
170: Riley Hunsicker Ellis
182: Eric Hellerud Hosington
195: Josh McDowell Smith Center
220: Austin Veach Doniphan West
285: Trevin Edelman Sabetha

Chiefs, I like the way you think.

That's an excellent group of wrestlers that any coach would be proud to have on their team. No offense to Austin Veach of DW or Trevin Edelman of Sabetha, both super wrestlers, but I would have to put on my list Cody Batt...who looks like he's giving up a lot of weight in his class, and Jacob English...a fine young man who is almost too nice to be a wrestler.

I agree with Holiday at 106, 113, 120, 126, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 220 and 285.

Gotta go with Mulligan at 132.

At 182, going with Brock Long from Southeast of Saline.

At 195, I'm going with Herl from Goodland.

Top three teams--1. Goodland, 2. Scott City, 3. Oberlin

Cool.

what is the list of non favorites mean? i must not be very smart

Guys that would have to win a match when maybe they weren't supposed to. But this is state, anything can happen!!

I suppose a "non favorite" team might be Hoisington. They probably won't win it, but I think this is the best Cardinal team I've seen. I wouldn't be surprised to see them around 5th.

I like the way you guys think. This will be an interesting year, seeing as the top teams will be fighting for hardware down the stretch. Between Scott City, Hoxie, Goodland, Oberlin, and Hoisington, I like all of these team's chances.

And don't sleep on Ball from Hoisington at 120. A potential semi-final of Risewick and Ball could be a good one. Just my thoughts!

106: Trey Francka Chase Co
113: Joey Defore Dexter
120: Brandon Ball Hoisington
126: Dylan Schumacher TMP
132: Brogan Humphrey Fredonia
138: Calvin Ochs Hoxie
145: Tagen Lambotte Rossville
152: Ky Biddle Burden Central
160: Nick Wuthnow Salina Sacred Heart
170: Jesse LaMay Wellsville
182: Tyler Lowe Eureka
195: Colt Castlebury Douglass
220: Tanner Taylor Burlington
285:Jacob English Beloit

Wish me luck!
