Last year we had to forfeit the 98 pound class on both teams!

We have secured one wrestler at that weight already and need one more to join us at that weight. You get a two pound allowance so are there any tough 100 pound high school wrestlers out there?

Chief, you might want to contact Jeff Smith of Derby about his son Tanner for a 100 pounder

How about Rylan Kasitz?

Good idea. I will try to reach him.

Let me know if you are needing a 138 lb...Lucas is interested.

The teams are forming! We have 22 of the 30 spots filled!

So far we have 15 State Champions confirmed.

As the invitations are declined I will ask the next wrestler in the AC ranking!

Looking pretty solid.

220# What happened to Justin Scott?

I have reached out to his Coach since Monday and have not received a response. I have a deadline to enter wrestlers. I also need to print the rosters on the back of their team shirts.

I just confirmed Justin Scott. Thanks for the help!

Holy s@&$!!! If we don't bring home some hardware from this trip...

I agree! Also, the hardware is substantial! We even couldn't fit all the trophies in our trailer! The individual champs got three foot ones and the 1st place team trophy was 6 feet!

Did everyone (except Meck) at 182 decline? As Wilson is the only one on the team that wasn't in the All Class top 10.

What is the travel schedule?

I am sending you details...

I do not see Calvin Ochs on this list. Did he decline an invitation? What about Dustin Reed also?

Both declined.

My final AC ranking will include Wilson at #4. Eck declined, Meck accepted, Grater declined.
