4a regional (Desoto

Teams attending:
Baldwin, Basehor-Basehor-Linwood, Carbondale-Santa Fe Trail, De Soto, Eudora, Kansas City-Bishop Ward, Kansas City-Piper, Kansas City-Sumner Academy, Lenexa-Saint James Academy, Louisburg, Osawatomie, Ottawa, Paola, Spring Hill, Tonganoxie
Any predictions on team and wrestler's standings??

Most of these teams are Frontier League schools. Saturday, Gardner got 1st place and they won't be there (Yay!) Eudora got 2nd and Louisburg third. Those two team should well enough to get a few to state each.

Gonna go out on a limb and predict Moeder and Cokeley. ha ha

Lots of love for Eudora in these predictions. I'm sure they'd love to send 9 to state! Do you really think their 285 will win - he wrestles about 80 lbs light.

Like it was posted before, a lot of these teams are from the Frontier league and Eudora's 285 won it so I don't see why he can't win this regional. It would make it much eaiser if I knew how everyone would get seeded and so on. Most of these predictions are made by what had happened last week at the league tournaments (mainly the Frontier and Kaw Valley league tournaments.) As for the teams that do not have a league or whose league results are not posted I went off of how they do individually and as a team. However, in this sport anything is possible.

Whyd you put Pollum ahead of Pike when Pike pinned the pittsburgh kid that pollum lost to at basehor linwood?

1.Hanson Bal
2.Pollum SJA
3.Pike Bas
4.Board Eud

I will change that.

Quagmire - thanks for taking the time to put up predictions. SJA not having a league tournament makes it harder. I think you did a great job. We'll see what the weekend brings -

Smokey Cabin is working with Pollum on some new and "never seen" moves that he will be revealing at regionals. (that is if Smokey can quit eating long enough to work out)

Yes I agree it would make things much easier if SJA was in a league. I went strictly off what they were ranked and how they placed at previous tournaments. It would be nice to see SJA in the Frontier league or maybe the EKL.

Gardner Edgerton is leaving the Frontier League this year - I don't know if they are replacing them with anyone. SJA makes some sense since the Frontier teams see them for wrestling, basketball and a few other sports, but I don't know what the ADs have decided.

Agreed replacing Gardner with Saint James makes the most sense.

Ranked Teams:
9. St James Academy
10. Louisburg

Ranked Wrestlers
103: 1. Shoemaker (baldwin)
112: 3. Hood (Louisburg)
5.Crotinger (Santa Fe)
119: None
125: 1. Seaton (Basehor Linwood)
130: 1. Moeder (St James)
135: None
140: 2. Hood (Louisburg)
145:1. Cokeley (St James)
2. Weller (Piper)
4. Coover (Ottawa)
152: None
160: 6. Johnson (Basehor Linwood)
171: None
189: 2. Grimes (Osawotomie)
215: None
285: 6. Retzer (Ottawa)

Not unless they add points for weekday duals. It sucks to burn up a competition point for one match. A match where the best guys usually don't wrestle each other because of lineup jockeying.

Tim Moeder - SJA

Watch out for the double trapped arm log roll face to face or bear hug. In some eastern states it is called the Rolling Pollom Pin. ZP has also been working on some bridging/reversal techniques during our hypothetical sessions. Watch out his neck it is getting really strong. If I am not careful I may swallow a couple of vielhauers or cokeleys.

Then just take the kids who have enough points and want to get more matches in. Emporia sends their varsity to the Centennial League and then their JV to the Chase County league tournament. Saint James could just take their JV kids to the league tournament.

How many of the weight classes at the Desoto 4a regional will have 16 competitors?

I would say 9?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say ZERO. Looks to me like there are 15 teams at this regional. . . . .

A quick review of the KSHSAA web site reveals only 15 teams listed in each regional. That must mean that only 60 of 64 schools in 4A have wrestling?

Yea, Will, we have had only 15 in our Regional several times.


. . .

LOL

How many brackets will have 15 entries?

Which four schools don't have wrestling programs??

Hayden is one, right?

...

I can only find three KWCA Website has 61 schools listed that have wrestling.
Girard
Kingman
Wichita-Trinity Academy

Regional Assignments only have 60 schools listed not listed teams
Girard
Kingman
Wichita -Trinity Academy
Haven

Haven co-oped with somebody...I thought

Andale I believe.

On the KWCA website Haven is listed as a Coop with Andale but they are not listed on the teams attending Regionals in Pratt.

They would go their own way at regionals which I believe would be a 3-2-1A regional.

They are a 4A school how could they go to the 321A Regional?


Better yet one of the following two things has happened
1. The State messed up and forgot to list them at the Regional
2. When they cooped with Andale no kids decided to Wrestle meaning they would not have a team.

Haven did not end up co-oping with Andale this year.

So they found a coach and had a program?

I don't think they had a program this year. I am not 100% sure, but think they only had about 4 kids wanting to wrestle, and the Haven BOE wouldn't fund the transportation to and from practice. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

Thanks, to my knowledge that is the first program we've lost in awhile in the state. I hope we can say the same at this time next year.

Notes and observations from the De Soto regional:

SJA's tough scheduling appears to be paying off as they are in tight contention with Eudora for a regional plaque.

Cokeley v. Weller should be a dandy of a finals match at 145.

Feist of SJA must have ripped two-dozen phonebooks in half to get in shape for regionals. He comes into the finals with an 11-12 record, likely because he's had to wrestle the best of the best. One thing is for sure he is on a tear with three straight pins in the 171 bracket.
