well maybe some of these kids were ranked to high to begin with. I guess we will see how it plays out in a few weeks. not sure how a kid with a 5-1 record is ranked higher then some other 106 guys that have a lot more matches under there belt.
When I said that I thought the106 class was weaker I did not mean this guys can't wrestle I am sure Debian last year would have whipped a lot of kids at 120 I'm just saying outside the top two on the rankings this years the class looks much weaker than last years group. Still good wrestles but not the caliber of last years group so far.
that is my point i dont thing they are weak because they are 106 because i know plenty of 106 kids that will and do beat decent 120 wrestlers. just because they are 106 does not mean you can throw anyone in there to compete, it has been a very competetive weight class recently. I am just saying out side of Cyree and Narvaro the names are not there. Also if Salih is 106 he would easily be #3 and things will change if any 113 in the top drop down. this is a very fun weight class to watch and i am excited to see how it plays out.
In regards to the Dual tournament that I am trying to run on December 15th. Again if you have not heard this is a fundraiser for a family that has a tragic accident over thanksgiving. The daughter was a cheerleader for my team and her younger brother is a 4th grader that wrestles for the Copperheads. All of the proceeds will go towards the families hospital bills and the fathers time off of work. If you have any chance to bring your team even if you want to bring a jv or both a jv and varsity. It will be a great day of wrestling and it will go a long way in helping this family out.
Here is how has confirmed so far if I have you down and it is a mistake please let me know if or if you want in please let me know and how many teams. I am still awaiting confirmation on a few teams but If I cannot get enough teams we will run it as an individual tournament and possible part of the MTGC. Would really love to see all the Williamson County teams come and support one of our own. Hoping to get 16 teams. we will take jv or varsity we jsut want to get a bunch wrestling for this cause.
Thanks

Just got a few more emails from some teams that are about 90% in.
Curious how Pelkey from Indy is not on for 106 or 113 when he is a combined 13-0 against lee, wiggins and Lozano and he split with Crawford, narvario. Also where is salih from Overton he has also never lost to lee wiggins or Lozano.
I think 106 should be
Cyrene
Narvario
Salih
Crawford
Smith from Gibbs
Bland it
113
Debian
Boatman
Palacio
Pelkey
Madut

Just my opinion but I have watch these classes a lot
I see a lack of teams from Williamson County. I see a few have Ravenwood, waht about Indy, Brentwood, Franklin, or Centenntial. Any noise coming out of any of them. this region should be pretty close this year
