In the past 5 years Hoxie has earned three state team titles and two state runner-up finishes in 3-2-1A. This year they finished second to Clay Center at the Beloit Tournament without three varsity wrestlers (Ochs @ 112, Schippers @ 130 and Campbell @ 152 - all of whom placed at state this year). Even short handed they finished ahead of Manhattan.
Argue as you see fit, but Hoxie would have to be in the top ten - and probably should be top 5. Oh yeah, they only had one senior on varsity this year and he did not qualify for state this year - so they should be even better next year.
