*Any sleepers, darkhorses or teams that will be underestimated?

*Or what about any teams that r just flat out overated.

Give some opinions!

i think TURNER is going to be a tuff team this year come back from a 4th place finish as a team last year and they are getting a couple kick a$$ freshman to fill in some spots that they need to be a top continder in 5A

emporia??? since when??

What kind of team is Bishop Carroll going to have this year?

Hoxie is definitely the best team in the state.

manhatten??? since when?? They lost their back bone last year, Prant Garker left.

...predicts for 321-a this year? I believe its going to be a toss up this year, between Hoxie, St. Francis and Norton. I dont think Hoixe has the death grip on the state title as many would believe. St. Francis and Norton are equally capable of taking the State title this year in 321-a. and if Hoxie does win it again this year, they wont run away with it. Hoxie also graduates a bulk of the team this year as well, which will end thier domination in 321-a.

St. Francis brings 7 returning state qualifiers, and 3 state placers. only one of which is a senior, Trey Hilt, who is projected to be at 152 or 160, 3 Juniors, Gabe Walz at HWT, Derek Ross projected to be at 171, Gabe Gienger at 145. 3 Sophomores, Dylan Loyd 119 or 125, Trevor Richard 103 or 112, and Gabe Smull at 152 or 160. Illness and injuries hampered St. Francis from finishing higher in the state standings last year, (9th).

St. Francis also brings in several talented freshmen, one of which is Jordan Gienger, at 125 or 130 who could do very well.

As usual Northwest Kansas will be exceptionally tough, as there are a lot of quality kids and tough teams. There will be no shortage of action this year, as the year progress to the 321-a state tournament.

pretty easy to say Hoxie will dry up and blow away before season starts but I think that the schippers and the schambergers and dusty baker and Farber and Matt Gilliland will be quite a force. Sainty is up and coming but Norton was the team that proved its mettle last year as the only team capable of staying anywhere near Hoxie. ask Garden City if Hoxie has any weaknesses -- they got all they wanted last year at the Colby dual tournament, then went on the be the 2nd best team in 6a. I 'm not saying that Hoxie is guaranteed to dominate like they did last year-- only that anyone else is going to have to prove their case on the mat. also keep in mind that some of their guys were freshmen last year-- an indication that there could be more good freshman this year.

I hear all this talk on the forum about Hoxie but I was just wondering, where actually is Hoxie? So the next post about Hoxie, tommorrow probably, I can get a picture in my head of where Hoxie is located.

campus is a tough team in 5A this year

manhattan- overrated
emporia- really good at cross country (they're whole team ran sub 18:00 at regionals)
hutch- garcia...duh!
hoxie- ok, yes just ok
J C- the shizz-nit

just my opinion

Wrestler_21_05 is a huge tool.

iFeelFat:
are you telling the world that you think Junction City is better than Hoxie???

Have you ever seen them wrestle???
Do you know what wrestling is???

Just curious how you are forming your opinions.

What do you mean by that comment jhrisCennings, was it meant to be rude and crude or in a tickle till i giggle type of humor? Just curiousity that struck me i suppose.
