Alright here goes....Best Unknown Kids Lower (103-140) and Upper(145- 285) based on me reading some brackets and making assumptions. Also none of my picks are on the Chief's Rankings.

3a

LOWER-Riley Hunsicker(Ellis) was at 125 last year and although he pinned a 3a Regional Champ during the season, couldn't get out of the Wild Wild West. Was the Champion at Osborne, Russell, and Minneapolis tournaments at 119 (Cole Werner who barely missed out on becoming a state champion by losing in Overtime out in Hays took 4th in this bracket at Minny!)Took 2nd at Ellsworth and Hays tournaments finishing ahead of some state qualifiers from other divisions, and was 3rd at Pburg, but the biggest of them all...(unless it was a misprint) would be the 3-2 victory at 125 in the Mid Continent League Tournament finals against State Runner Up Troy Bainter of Norton!

UPPER-Thomas Durham (Fredonia) at 189. He lost by 1pt to the 3rd placer in 3a and 3pts to the 4th placer in 3a at the State Tournament. The last 2 seasons he has entered state with a matching 29-7 record...but left soph year with 29-9 record and jr with 31-9 record. I suspect some graduation from other wrestlers at this weight will have Durham making big noise in 2011.
