Andrew Shaft will have a tough time getting by Trevor Rempe of Smith Center in the quarterfinals and will likely have to face Kyle Wichman of Silver Lake or Kaid McKenna of Norton in the blood round. So I have him just coming up short of medaling. I wrestled Andrew in high school and know he can be dangerous but from what I've seen of him wrestling this year he appears to have been hampered by injuries and is a bit out of shape because of it.


As for the other two Douglass wrestlers I have placing, Daylan Zaldivar and Cody Huffman benefit from have more favorable matchups in the first round and quarterfinals. Both could make the finals with great first days, but I think both should place regardless.
