Bishop Carroll was down one wrestler to begin with (Hvy) and then the 112 Keller (5th seed) went down with an injury. More importantly we lost 5 matches either in overtime or by less than two points all to either place or move up a place. You can not be a top notch team and lose all the close matches. But it gives us something to work on. We will also have Kastor back at 125 for Newton. So we will see if we can defend our Newton title this weekend.

Ark City is for real. Placing 11 at Derby is saying alot. We knew they were tough after Perry and the rest of the State will see how good they are after Newton. I never count a Ark City out.

Gonzales from Shawnee Hts was injured. May or my not be back next weekend.
