103:
Kale Knowlen Andover 19-1 (Not sure if this is still correct)
Jase Stone Manahattan
Tony Arzola Turner
Garrett Girrard Lawrence
Cullen Hood Louisburg

I don't know anything about the kid from Louisburg but had heard he was good. Not a super stacked group but a solid group of wrestlers. I didn't see the Andover kid ranked but have seen him wrestle several times...he is pretty solid.

Andover, Bonner Springs, Maize, Olathe South, Topeka High, Blue Valley, Hutchinson, Manhattan, SM Northwest, Turner, Blue Valley North, Lawrence, Newton, SM South, Washington, Blue Valley West, Louisburg, Olathe East, SM West, BV Northwest.

Cullen Hood would be a big favorite in this tournament but he is not going to be there. Kale Knowlen from Andover got beat 2 weeks ago at Augusta by Parker Howell(KMC) 6-0 .

Here are the top 4 seeds at each weight.

Quinton Harrison is a great wrestler but seeded over Dane Norris?

Norris has no matches at 112 this year so there were no commons and both placed 4th at state last year. The criteria they went on was that Harrison was at 112 last year and Norris at 119 which means the state placement was at a closer weight class.

that would make more sense if the lower seed was moving up rather than down

And Norris was state champ the year before... And that makes no sense that "the criteria they went on was that Harrison was at 112 last year and Norris was a 119 which means the state placement was at a closer weight class."

I guess we will see this weekend, but that is the dumbest logic I have ever heard.
