What are some early predictions for this tournament? 103 through 285, this is usually a fairly tough one, especially for the teams who just finished basehor.

Here is a start:

103 - Goodwin, Stokes
112 - Lawrence, Madl
119 - Hansen, Ankenman, McCarthy, Bennett
125 - Caldwell
130 - Dunham, Reeb, Langford, Flanders
135 - Isenberg, Crank, Henes, Ahlstedt, Peoples, Hertzel
140 - Somers, Means, Hertzel, Scott
145 - Millstead, Hentzen, Holden, Bland, RJ Johnson
152 - Markey, Bonwell, Serbousek
160 - Beard, Berscheidt
171 - Cotton, Nill
189 - Mamie, Evans, Landry, Elliott
215 - Curtis, Hammer
285 - Nowak, Hybsha

Is SMW going to be there?

Yes. Here are the teams in attendance.


BVNW
Shawnee Mission NW
Maize
Newton
Lawrence
Hutchinson
Andover
Goddard
Bonner Springs
Blue Valley
Gardner Edgerton
Turner
STA
Shawnee Mission North
Shawnee Mission South
KC Washington
Olathe South
Shawnee Mission West
Blue Valley West
Lawrence Free State
Topeka

Hertzel from Lawrence is at 135.

130, 135, 145 and 189 should be interesting.

I would add as possible placers:


125 lbs
Walker - STA


130lbs
Noles - STA (1 & 1 with Noblet of Paola last week at Basehor)
Johnson - Shawnee Mission East

160 lbs
Paul Markey - STA

Tanner Johnson and the rest of the SME team will be at Paola this weekend, not BVNW.

119 and 135 look to be the most exciting

119
Hansen
Ankenman
Williams
Bennet
McCarthy
Kovacs

135
(Isenberg wrestled 140 at Newton)
Peoples
Hertzel
Henes
Crank


As well as 189 we will get to see the Mamie/Evans Match, ooohh boy

Is Ben Evans undefeated? I know Mamie has not lost this year.

Evans lost to #1 ranked Elliott, I was told it was 5-4. Don't know if he has any other losses, but I haven't heard of any.

No!

LancerLou,

My mistake on the SME guys. Without a doubt most improved in the KC area. Eudora has also made some huge strides. Keep up the good work and good luck at Paola - SME.

Brent Fisher Goddard 135

markey, beard, berscheidt make 160 a nice bracket. i would pick them to go beard, berscheidt, markey in that order, but could be some tough matches.

hansen should win 119, ankenman is the next best wrestler and hansen has never had trouble with him.

135 is also a good bracket, scarecrow i'm not sure how you ran down that bracket and didnt mention fisher. i'm hoping for a fisher-isenberg final.

i would be surprised if cotton doesnt win 171. a cotton-nill matchup could be fun though.

Fisher vs Isenberg @ 135# would be action-packed, without a doubt! Have they ever met before...if so, what was the outcome??

I forgot Fisher. My bad

i dont believe they've met in high school wrestling. i dont know if they have ever wrestled in kids or freestyle or anything.

no ben got beat by scott elliot like 5-4 at newton tournament

losing to elliot 5-4 is pretty impressive really though. i would pick evans to win the tournament.
