Well Rogers and defending region champ West are out. Great matches wrestled by Drew Fryman and Ben Sharp. I'm looking forward to see Baker of Bartlett be challenged. I hear he's gotten better. Maybe the Sharp-Borneman match will be better than we thought. Hammond and Hunt of Collierville look extremely quick. The points race could also be a little closer than we thought. I would normally expect CBHS and Collierville to go down to the wire, but with the marables out and a few of CBHS' middle weights being upset, and Collierville missing Speroff, Graham, and Faulkner, who knows who will win? We'll see in a couple of hours. Give me your thoughts on the wrestlers of the West.

From the West, I can't say anything that hasn't been said, but we are praying for you. We share the sentiments of the other schools. It is such a tragedy, and we all realize how small wrestling is when confronted with a loss of this magnitude. By Faith Alone

Who looked good at the tournament? Who will win? I think collierville looked good and bartlett got better. It was disappointing not to see the marables, but Mike looked huge. Luke Borneman (152) from houston seemed a little slow, but very strong. Brandon Wright (125) of houston upset friedman of ridgeway...he's only a freshman, and they will need the freshmen to be successful if they hope to compete after losing big scorers Shay and Mower. Hammond (112), Hunt(130), Rogers(145), West(152) of Collierville continued last season's success, while Cullen (140) was upset early. Also, scorers Speroff (119), Graham (160) and Faulkner (189) were missing in action. Hansen of Ridgeway looked good. I even saw Kingsbury pick up a few wins. Who did y'all notice? Predictions?
