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 Norton:
1. Norton
2. Plainville
3. Oberlin

Norton and Plainville will be duking it out for 1st place, but Oberlin could also be a contender.

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:
