What, you changed your avatar?

125lb weight class will be very tough. I believe the Ellis kid (John Kroegor) will be at that weight also and he went a one point match-up with Warta at the Ellsworth Tourney fianals match. The 321a state finals match could be a replay from this tournament. This has always been a great ran tournament, probably in my opinion, the best ran tournament in the state. You will see at this tourney, some of the greatest match-ups in the state.

Blue Coach:

I agree that the State Tournament at Hays is outstanding – well organized and well run – truly a class act – Also usually fantastic hospitality room – And the people who organize and keep up the brackets for the internet are top notch (if they are from Ellis you should be very proud of them) – I for one, am impressed by the software they put together. Also the brackets that are posted at various locations on the walls (at Gross Memorial) are normally accurate and kept current.

171 lbs has Malloy of Shawnee Heights who should be ranked #1 in 5A after winning the Bobcat Tournament, and Ross of St. Francis who is #2 in 1-2-3A and Homier of Russell who is #5 in 1-2-3A.
