well i didnt get the priveledge of seeing the dual due to watching jr high wrestling that evening in colby, but i understand it was quite a spankin, 54-11? i know hoxie had one or two open weights, and they were with out little shippers, but still winning only 3 of 13 weights?, it wouldnt have had much of a difference even if hoxie's 145 pounder had won.

burlingtons 189, hendricks, is a very decent freshman, gabe smull wrestled him 4x in little kids over the last 3 years, winning all of them and pinning him twice. he has grown into quite the specimen however over the last year. unless gabe grows a bunch in the next year it is doubtful they'll ever meet again.

as a side track the NWKL was an extremely tough tourney this last weekend, with hoxie comming in second, with goodland winning it. st.francis 3rd, colby 4th, oberlin okaley atwood rounding it out, no particular team dominated, as i thought the scores were fairly close.
alot of suprises, upsets, and great wrestling. some ranked wreslters didnt even place. it was tough.
in another post it was well said, 7 returning state champs, 30 ranked wrestlers. 20 returning NWKL champs, and 7 of the 8 teams ranked in the top ten, in thier respective classifications...

the season is winding down, and things are becomming interesting....
