They are usually there providing outstanding coverage of our area's wrestlers.

Team wise--I think Manhattan will be up there too. They beat Clay at Newton and it was very close between the 2.

KFNF is covering the Beloit Tournament Friday and Saturday. The internet link is http://sports.kfnf101.com. Ken Badsky and Adam Kadavy will have the coverage.

im predicting an upset at 112 i think colt rogers from smith center is going to win it, i have heard nothing but great things about him and i saw him play in the state championship football game and he was one of the best players there as a freshman. I also think that esterl of beliot will rebound after loosing to york next week and redeem himself at his home tourney. just some thoughts, who knows if i have a clue but just what im thinking.

I'm not one to pick who will win matches that haven't been wrestled yet, but I will add to the list of people to keep an eye on.

#103 - Gallaway(Stockton) - Tough freshman.
#119 - Augustine(Beloit) - He's been hot lately.
#140 - Eaton(Minneapolis) - Only lost 2-0 to York @ Osborne.
#152 - Meyer(Sabetha) - Only loss I can find, Auburn, NE kid.
#152 - Contreras(Minneapolis) - On & off, but good when on.
#171 - Mutz(Republic Co) - ranked 4th in 321a, but not listed.

Mutz will not be attending the Beloit tournament due to a knee injury.

I caught some of the first round as I was working. Here are a few suprises:

#119 Orr-Hill City lost (I believe to an Oberlin kid)
#152 Hinson-Silver Lake lost to a Colby kid
#152 Palmer-Stockton lost to Aumiller-Hoxie

2 seed Cody Meier of Silver Lake lost to Colby Lund of Clay Center in the first round.
