I dont want to seem completely biased because I am a former DeSoto coach, but another 171 lb wrestler who could make a push is Leif Goleman from DeSoto who lost to Starcher from Tonganoxie 4-2 in OT in the Ft. Scott Regionals...

He has also had tough matches (as well as overtime matches) with Sonderegger. I am pretty sure that all of his losses have come to Wiscombe, Starcher, and I can recall 3 to Sonderegger... but he's another 171 lb. who deserves recognition, and quite possibly with an amazing finish at the 4A state tournament he could as well be a candidate for the Metro.

Regardless, I am impressed with all the 171's I've seen. Great job guys.
