first week of practice and the forum is dead. Somebody has to have something.

I will throw out a bracket/tournament to watch...Eudora 2nd week of season at 119. Hood, Newport, Haralson, Shoemaker and Pursel could all be in same weight. That's 3 state champs and 2 runner-ups. You will have a state finalist no higher than 5th in this tournament.

What are some other tournaments and weights that could be fun in the early part of the season?? Or some other top ranked kids that could get a serious early season test?

Valley Center duals the first weekend of wrestling at 130lbs they will have Deshazer(W.Heights),Gentzler(Andover C),McComb(Derby),Kolterman(Clay C),Clark(Chanute),Mertins(Valley Center).

This week is a hard week to start talks. Give the forum one or two weeks and it will be bolstering with life.

It seems like kids don't really come here so much anymore. I think they are all on facebook and texting each other. There's only so many ways to rearrange the rankings until someone actually wrestles.

Things are just starting to heat up badbo. I am looking forward to the Eudora Tournament, but even more so to the Leavenworth Tournament, only because it is closer. Should be a lot of fun and I can't wait for the action to begin.

The Valley Center duals should be fun on opening weekend. #3, #4, #5 and #9 AC teams in action.

Valley Center Duals:
Attending this year: Andover Central, Chanute, Clay Center, Derby, Douglass, Emporia, Great Bend, Ottawa, Valley Center, Wichita Heights.

Leavenworth Challenger 2010

Teams:
Leavenworth, Blue Valley North, Shawnee Heights, Lee's Summit(MO), Lawrence, Manhattan, Olathe East, Olathe South, Ray-Pec(MO), Shawnee Mission North, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Topeka

Highlights:
2 State Champions (Tanenbaum BVN (2x), Wright-Conklin LAW)
12 Ranked Kansas All-Class Wrestlers
35 Kansas 6A/5A State Ranked Wrestlers
6 Missouri Class 4 State Ranked Wrestlers

215 A Pool Bracket...all 6 wrestlers ranked.

Not quite as nasty as those tourneys mentioned above, but should provide for a great start to the 2010-2011 season!

I'll edit this as rankings are updated and as I (or others) point out my mistakes.

What about the Bobcat? Who's going there this year? That one is always a fun tournament to watch. There's always a weight class or two that's loaded up!
