At 125, freshman Ronnie Smith (Newkirk, OK) pulled out a huge win over 3x Kansas State Champion, Earl Jones. Jones was undefeated for three years in high school.

Mark Frey (133), was showing his true self, building a 3-0 lead over NJCAA qualifier and former Kansas state champion, Emery McReynolds. Frey used a takedown and an escape to build the lead and then was in on another shot and got caught on his back and gave up a fall.

Neosho won six (6) of the ten (10) matches, however Labette's victories were all by fall.
