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 Fredonia:
1. Fredonia
2. Caney Valley
3. Cherryvale
4. Marion
This looks like Fredonia's Regional Championship to lose, but the race for 2nd will be interesting between Caney Valley, Cherryvale, and Marion.
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:
