Class 2A Wrestling Team Breakdown & Individual Predictions

Class 2A Wrestling Team Breakdown & Individual Predictions

State Wrestling kicks off tomorrow (Thursday) at Noon.  We won’t be there for Thursday, but we will be there all-day Friday and all-Day Saturday.  We will try and post updates and we will have pictures posted on our Facebook Page!  We have decided to do a quick run down of some of the top teams according to Tim Yount with on the Mat.  We have also decided to do predictions of all weight classes for Class 2A.  The biggest thing to remember on the predictions is that this is just our opinion, and we are not cheering against any wrestlers.  The amount of work that all these wrestlers have put in does not go unnoticed.  Good Luck to all wrestlers and leave it all on the Mat!
