Why no Hansen from P-Ville at 170? I think (and I may be wrong) he's 18 and 1.
First off 170's is pretty loaded. Hansen has not beat anyone that is ranked. To his defense he has only wrestled the top ranked wrestler. He will have plenty of opportunities coming up in the next few weeks. It will be fun to watch how it all plays out. 5 out of the top 6 will all be in the same sub-state, and throw Hansen in there as well! I would say someone should go up to 182's, but I think that would be a bad decision.

170 is one of the best weights top to bottom in 321A this season. There are currently seven former state placers in the weight class, and two of those former state placers are not ranked. There are also four wrestlers who have qualified in the past who are outside of the rankings.
The top five in this weight class all have state medals. Kruger from Silver Lake has wins over two returning state placers (Dillon from Sabetha in 321A and Burenheide from Rock Creek in 4A), and split matches with #4 in 4A Lane from Ottawa. Hansen from Plainville is just outside of the rankings because he doesn't have a state placement, or significant wins against ranked wrestlers or returning state placers this season.
The Western Sub-State will certainly be a fun one to watch at 170.
