The Colby Dual Tournament and the Beloit Invitational should be very interesting if these lists are accurate.

The CHS dual tournament, which is held in mid- December, will feature Colby, Garden City and Hoxie - all listed above - plus Oakley, Scott City and several other above average teams.

If the field from last year's Beloit Tournament remains the same this year, you will see Hoxie, Colby, Manhattan and Abilene - all listed above - plus Clay Center and several other good quality teams.

Incidentally, according to Wrestling USA's regional high school team rankings, Richard Fergola has Hoxie first and Hutchinson second in the state and fifth and ninth, respectively, in the KS, OK, MO & TX region.

Looks like a great year! Especially in the Northwest Kansas League where the above ranked Colby Eagles, Goodland Cowboys and Hoxie Indians will battle it out. Throw in Atwood, Oakley, Oberlin, St. Francis and Quinter and it looks like a real dog-fight in the good ol' NWKL.

What other leagues in the state will witness elite ranked teams square off?
