Oberlin, Decatur Community is currently unraked in 3-2-1A and I predict them to finish top 5 at State and possibly top three. Oberlin has already defeated Oakley (#5) in a duel meet, finished ahead of Oakley and Hoxie (#4)in two tournaments and went 5-2 in the tough Colby duel meet, losing to 6-A 2nd ranked Goddard 51-27 and 7th ranked 4-A Scott City 26-24. Also in the Colby duels they defeated #9 ranked 4-A concordia 42-30. Colby was a tough tournament for currently #8 ranked (3-2-1 A) TMP, going 0-7.
I think that the 3-2-1A team rankings that you are referring might be from last year. TMP is 4A this year. I don't think they have been updated for this year.
Garden Plain should be pretty competitive @ state. I watched alot of their kids @ Hesston last weekend & they've got some talent up & down their lineup. They put 5 in the finals with 3 winning (103-Zoglman, 145-Patterson, 189-Scheer-OW). They placed 9 wrestlers total to win the tourney pretty easily. We'll see how the progress thru the season. Top 5?? Possibly
Thanks for the heads up Spencer. It all makes sense now. I stand by my prediction and it will be interesting to see where they (Oberlin) are ranked if and when they are updated.
1. Norton, 2. St. Francis, 3. Silver Lake, 4. Oberlin. 5. Hoxie, 6.Eureka, 7. Garden Plain, 8. Oakley 9. Smith Center 10. Lyons. Having trouble with the web page.
Thanks Coach LaMar. I too would be very surprised if Oberlin does not finish in the top 5. I believe they travel to #2 St. Francis tomorrow so that should be a great one.
Thanks for the ratings. I think Oakley will finish ahead of Hoxie this year. Oberlin possibly third. That's the thing about predictions, they're a lot of opinions that are meaningless but fun to project. Good luck to all.
