Pool 1
1. Iowa Black
2. Team North Carolina
3. Team SD Westside
4. Team Kaw (Kansas 4)

Iowa Black is Iowa's number 1 team. They are a contender every year.

Pool 2
1. Team Illinois
2. Team Montana Maroon
3. Team Palmetto (South Carolina)
4. Team Nebraska

Team Illinois should be tough based on their USA wins in Cadet and Juniors. However, they fill four USA MSND rosters so this may not be their best.

Pool 3
1. Team Pawnee (Kansas 1)
2. Team North Dakota Stars
3. Team Wyoming Blue
4. Team Montana Grey

Pawnee looks to be in position to go undefeated in their pool. Based on my past three years experience we got a favorable draw.

Pool 4
1. Team Iowa Gold (2 Team)
2. Team Osage (Kansas 2)
3. Team Colorado Red
4. Team Michigan Extreme

This should be a hard fought even pool. Colorado will be lucky to win a dual.

Pool 5
1. Team Tenessee
2. Team Missouri
3. Team Colorado Blue
4. Team Michigan Titans

Missouri will walk through this pool! They sport 17 Tulsa National placers. They got a 2 seed because they didn't compete last year. Look out!

Pool 6
1. Team Montana Grizzly
2. Team Pennsylvania
3. Team SD Pierre
4. Team Comanche

Coach Vander Linden is looking to move up to the silver or gold pool this year! He challenged his boys last night and they look poised to make some noise. This is PA's first time here so I am not sure what to expect. They should be really tough but we will have to wait and see.

Pool 7

1. Ohio Prodigy
2. Team Michigan SE
3. South Dakota AAU
4. Team Iowa Hawks (3 team)

With Team Jordan being absent this year (Ohio's best and the usual champion of this event) Prodigy could be really tough.

Pool 8

1. Team Minnesota
2. Team Ohio SW All Stars
3. Team Wyoming Red
4. Team North Dakota Stripes

Minnesota will run away in this pool of also rans.


We will wrestle at 8am, 10am, and noon. More later!!!
