the term "ranked" simply means that they were mentioned in some internet rankings - nothing official;

It is a given that some of the weights may be wrong. It is also a given that some real good wrestlers have been omitted. You know who you are. We will find out.

Looks like some interesting match-ups!

Why are there so many 'FORMER STATE CHAMPIONS"? Did they lose their state championships or something? "once a state champ, always a state champ right? haha! Just messin with ya.

Coach Church

30, and 40 seem to be the most "loaded"

Its hard to say crank is a 3 time placer when he is just currently a junior, and isenberg isnt a 3 timer....

Maple and grahm should be good

This year the tournamant will be utilizing new software.

The Newton High School technology department is attempting to provide internet access to the gymnasium which will allow for nearly real time updating of the brackets and team scores.

Fans who are not able to attend the event will have the opportunity to follow the match results in as near real time as possible.

When the link to the tournament site is available it will be posted.

You know I'm not sure if Isenberg (Gardner-Edgerton)is a 3 time state champion. The thing I remember most about Isenberg is that at the Newton Tournament (2007), he (I believe or was told) junped a weight bracket in an effort to wrestle Mitch Arnold (Bishop Carroll). This struck me as unusual because I've seen a few elite wrestlers deliberately avoid each other for various sundry reasons. That match (i.e. Isenberg vs Arnold) was the most exciting wrestling match I have ever seen. Isenberg won, by the way.

I believe Maple will be at 135 and Nelson 140.

285 could have a couple really good match ups....

Aldon Isenberg won his only State Championship at 135 lbs. in Class 5A at the 2007 Tournament! Isenberg will be attempting (and favored) to win his second State Championship this year.

Date of this tourney and time of the finals please. Directions if coming from JC - Please. And, do they always start the finals ON TIME? Meaning the scheduled time as opposed to the 'ok, lets do it now' kind of thing.

Thanks.

Jan 11 and 12

Directions: Go to Abilene and take highway 15 south until you get to Newton.

They always start the finals at the scheduled time. The finals usually start around 630 with the pre finals activities starting sometime after 6 or so.

Chewie- Very cool. Thanks a bunch!

I think some of these wrestlers are listed incorrectly.

Blaine Smith 119??
Jesse Barber has been at 119 all year
Hess from Gardner has been at 125 all year

And, jmo, DeShazer will win 112.

I believe they started the championships early last year due to the bad weather (I think it was appx 4:30). They're normally very punctual on their start time though.

I thought Tapia-WIN was wrestling 152lbs (I think he got beat by Detmer-BC last weekend).

Also, isn't Sal Tovar from Emporia (not Hutch)?

Don't overlook Brett Delich at 135 from Mill Valley.

According to Chief Renegade's All Class Team Rankings, this thing is loaded!

Top Ten All Class teams at the TOC in Newton:

2. Bishop Carroll
3. Manhattan
4. Arkansas City
5. Clay Center
6. Colby
8. Emporia
9. Hutchinson
10. Derby

when are we going to get some 5A rankings? they've updated every class except 5A. They should have enough information to at least make an attempt at it.

[quote=chewie]Jan 12 and 13

do u mean the 11th and the 12th? This would be Fri/Sat.

thanks.

Yep. I edited my post.

Cool. Thanks.

Id throw Hentzen in at 135 he beat Olsen last year and Bowser earlier this year
