Matt Dragon (PA-145) is probably the 2nd toughest 145 pounder in Fargo behind Brent Metcalf (MI), who is a complete beast. He is a former Cadet National Champion and took 3rd in FS and GR last year in Fargo Juniors. He is signed to wrestle at Pennsylvania University.

Dave Rella (OH-160) was the #1 ranked Junior in the nation at 152 before moving up to 160 for the summer.

English (IN) was the #1 ranked Junior in the nation at 145.

Bounds (WA) is a former Cadet National Champion and was ranked #10 in the nation. He is looking great this tournament.

Deshazer has a tough road, Next up is Precin from Illinois who beat Josh Baldridge 11-6 at the Junior Duals. (Baldridge had beaten Precin 12-4 earlier in the day). He also has Ness (FL 6-0), Hutchison (AK 6-0) and Slaton (IA 6-0)who beat Tristen 11-0 and is probably better than all of them.

At 145, I would rank them:

1- Metcalf
2- Dragon
3- Reynolds
4- Cornejo

At 160, I have them:

1- Erisman
2- Cozart
3- Rella
4- Bounds
