Little is having a fantastic year and should be in the running for 6A wrestler of the year, but overall past few years have been somewhat mediocre...
4 shoe-ins should be: Moeder, Tannenbaum, Cokeley, Conklin both for this season and their overall career performances


Ryne hasn't really had an "down" year. He isn't cutting any weight. He has wrestled or had all of the guys below in his bracket at a tournament this year. He beat a 3x OK State Champ. His losses are to Oliver Pierce, 2x Fargo National Champ and Christian Loges a 3x NE state finalist/2x champ (a guy he had beaten four times before.) There has been lots of travel, senioritis, college visits, ACT tests, snow days, and other distractions.

8. Jonathan Heiman - 11 - GC - 6A - 33-5
9. Colton Duhr - 11 - AN - 4A - 25-6

He will see these guys at state.
3. Sam Son - 11 - CH - 4A - 33-0
