Tournament Teams
1.Omaha Skutt Catholic
2.Northwest
3.Wahoo
4.Blair
5.Hastings
6.Sidney
7.Lexington
8.Scottsbluff
9.Northwest
10.Columbus Lakeview
No changes to this week’s tournament team rankings. Omaha Skutt still has the studs in the line-up to pull off another team championship. Wahoo, Northwest, and Blair also have some pieces. The top 5 will be a fun team race. Also don’t count out Hastings from being in the hunt. They have some studs in the line-up as well.
Dual Rankings
- Blair
- Sidney
- Columbus Lakeview
- Lexington
- Schuyler
- Hastings
- Central City
- Northwest
- Omaha Skutt Catholic
- Wahoo
The new Dual Rankings are based solely on the seeding for the State Dual Tournament. While I believe that Skutt and Wahool are two of the best overall teams in the state in Class B, they will not get the opportunity to compete at this years state dual championship. I think going into this Saturdays tournament, Blair has the best chance to be crowned team champion.
Individual Rankings
106
Grady Arends- Northwest
Caden Svoboda- Aurora
Zac Ourada- Omaha Skutt Catholic
Luke Bailey- Blair
Northwest
Quinton Chavez Gering
Trae Greve Waverly
After beating Svoboda at last weeks Central 10 Conference tournament, Grady Arends gets the nod here for the top ranking.
113
Paul Garcia- Scottsbluff
Tristan Obermiller-Adams Central
Jaylin Ruffin- North Platte
Tanner York-Beatrice
Thomas Ivey York
Jalen Maher Auburn
Tough weight class here. Any of the top 3 can win it all. It will all be decided in 2 weeks!
120
Jackson Nielsen- Blair
Dyson Kunz- Central City
Drew Arnold-Beatrice
Paul Ruff- Alliance
Jace Russman Cozad
Shawn Buchanan-Crete
No changes here. Dyson Kunz has yet to be taken down this year. I can only hope that Nielsen and Kunz are on opposite sides of the bracket at the state tournament. Arnold is again healthy and can make some noise here too!
126
Darian Diaz- North Platte
Bryce Brown- Hastings
Caleb Lazure Omaha Skutt Catholic
Collin Quandt Northwest
Gage Perry Columbus Lakeview
William Lomax Boys Town
If Bryce Brown is in fact healthy, this weight class becomes loaded.
132
Joey Orsi Omaha Skutt Catholic
Trevor Kluck Aurora
Koby Brandenburg Central City
Izaak Hunsley Hastings
Hank Frost Blair
Wyatt Hotz Gothenburg
I remain in the thought process that it is tough to countout Koby Brandenburg here. He is a returning state champion and a 2-time state finalist. Yes he has lost some matches this year, but that kid wrestles his best when the lights are the brightest. Tough weight class
138
Trey Arellano Sidney
Nick Stoltenberg Omaha Skutt Catholic
Asa Johnson-Alliance
Juan Vergara Wayne
Joel Lemburg Columbus Lakeview
Gage Stokey Ogalalla
No changes here.
145
Devontae Gutierrez Scottsbluff
Brody Raines Sidney
Chris Adams Nebraska City
Trystan Berry Lexington
Mason Brumbaugh Hastings
Peyton Walling Wahoo
No changes here.
152
Harrison Gocke York
Zane Bennett Wahoo
Caleb Canoyer Waverly
Carson Core Seward
Carter Pursley Aurora
Easton Albrecht Raymond Central
This may be one of the funnest weight classes at this years state tournament. It seems they have all beaten up on eachother this year. It will be interesting to see who takes the top of the podium in 2 weeks!
160
Riley Kopf- Lexington
Caden Yrkoski Schuyler
Zeth Gerkensmeyer Columbus Lakeview
Braydon Wilson Alliance
Cash Arensdorff North Platte
Jordan Moyer- Nebraska City
Riley Kopf has officially made the cut to 160. He becomes the instant favorite to win it here. Gerkensmeyer has had a great season and has beaten Yrkoski. I am leaving the ratings where they are right now but any of the top 4 could win the whole thing.
170
Damen Pape Hastings
Evan Canoyer Waverly
Ace York- Fairbury
Dylan Lee Central City
Brogan Fehlhafer- Seward
Michael Hernandez Schuyler
This is another weight class that has been tough to figure out the 4-6 wrestlers. I think the top 3 have all had great seasons. Dylan Lee has been banged up and Fehlhafer has come on strong down the stretch. Wooten of Plattsmouth should be in the hunt here too. I’d list him as a co-number 6 if I could.
182
Eli Jansen- Omaha Skutt Catholic
Seth Firmanik Fairbury
Jacob Frenzen Columbus Lakeview
Alec Langan McCook
Kole Bordovsky Wahoo
Kobe Lyons-York
Koby Lyons has made the cut from 195. He is immediately a tough contender here. I have him listed at 6 right now but he could very easily be in the top 2 or 3. For now, we will leave the rankings like this.
195
Sam Kolterman Wahoo
Grady Griess Northwest
Dylan Meyer Norris
Drake Rader-Plattsmouth
Trevor Rutcosky Blair
Cody Lomax Crete
Will we see a repeat of last years state finals match? Kolterman and Griess are 2 of the state best pound for pound wrestlers. With the departure of Jansen of Omaha Skutt Catholic at this weight to 182 Dylan Meyer of Norris bumps up the 3rd. It also allows Lomax of Crete to crack the top 6.
220
Jesus Meganda Schuyler
Cooper Kiser Northwest
Devin Pfeifer Plattsmouth
Collin-Giron-McCook
Baily Hood Alliance
Garett Menke Bennington
Meganda has put together a great career for the worriors. Winning a state championship this year would be an exclamation point on his career. Kiser will have something to say about that as he has the talent to be at the top.
285
Jack Sutton Wahoo
Jade Wurth Lexington
Noah Stafursky York
Trevor Brown Waverly
Marcos Martinez Northwest
Tavion Leatherdale Wayne
Big win for Wurth over Stafursky at last weeks Central 10 Conference tournament. This has quickly become a loaded weight class. Can Jack Sutton remain on top? We will find out in less than 2 weeks!
