Coach Buckbee is sandbagging on his own wrestlers in the individual rankings but he knows he will score points with the Dakins at 103 and 119, Peak at 145, Gaskill at 152, and Lee at 160 so he has his team ranked accurately.
I am predicting that he gets 12 to the state tournament from this regional. I would have them as my number 1 5A team at this time as well.

Chase Sanchez is not being given full respect either. I would have him at 2 or 3 but I would also have Spencer Blew in there in the top 4 as well.
