138 is going to be a meat grinder.

220 Benny Hernandez GC #4 6A

Is Jordan Dole wrestling? I thought he was out with an injury.

I am sure Porsch and Prieto have met up before...how have they done against each other?

I dont think they have in high school but i could be wrong. And if they did Porsch won, because i believe he only has one career loss to Caleb Austin when he bumped up a weight last year.

They have never wrestled.

I figured they hadn't in High School. I was referring to kids wrestling and such. With both of them being from the same district...likely they have met up at some point.

Never wrestled in kids either...

138s could turn into an even bigger "meat grinder" if Jarret Jurgens from Scott City is healed up from football and down to weight.

Jurgens took 4th in 321A at 132 last season. He split matches with current All-Class #8 at 138s Colby Johnson from Burlington last season. Rumor has it Jurgens would be back in January. Hope he'll be in Norton this weekend at 138s.

120 Kaj Perez GC #1 6A

195 Nebraska State qualifier and 2015 Durham Invite Runner up Jaret Matson will be there for McCook.
