Can be absolutely no doubt NT. regional is the toughest -at least in 321A. Unfortunatly and unfairly (in my opinion) it is that way every year. I have seen people post saying that nothing can be done about it because next year might be different. This is wrong, wrong, WRONG! The toughest regional has always been and will continue to be the one in NW Kansas. Some will want to disagree but look at past state winners, placers and team placings and see what regional they came out of. I am not basing my post on emotion but on FACT!

Wah! I don't see a single kid seeded #5 that impresses me.

Unlike the Abilene regional where there are some pretty awesome #5 and #6 seeds.

Fanatic,

Realizing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that you may be blind in your good eye, please consider the following #5 seeds at the NT Regional:

119--Richards of Oberlin
130--Gienger of St. Francis
145--Breon of Phillipsburg
152--Long of Hill City
160--Thiele of Norton
171--Samson of Atwood
and #6 Underhill of Hill City
215--Pulec of Stockton

All those are quality kids and if you follow wrestling out in the west you would know that these guys have had some very close matches with people seeded above them, in some cases the no. 1 seed. Fanatic you say that none of the number 5 seeds impresses you and thats too bad. Either you must think the 5 seeds at Abilene are world beaters or for some reason you are looking at this with a biased eye. This topic was discussed before and an overwhelming majority of the respondents thought the NT. regional was the toughest. Enough said.

I thought the idea of regional pairings were to put people in the geographically closest regional. Someone explain how Goodland and Colby end up at the same regional as Jeff West, SFT, and Royal Valley, sounds loopy to me.
