Thought I'd ramp up some conversation on the 321A Regionals by doing a preview for each one. Enjoy!

This is how I see the team race going at Garden Plain:
1. Hoisington
2. Lyons
3. Southeast of Saline

This looks like Hoisington's Regional Championship to lose, but the race for 2nd will be interesting between Southeast of Saline and Lyons.

Here are the wrestlers who should have the best shot at making it to State and some what of an order of finish with a little bit of info like records and state experience:

I have a question. How come Garden Plain used a 16-man bracket with six or seven kids in the weight class? Doesn't that mess things up with cross bracketing?
