Humble Predictions on the outcome.
1.Gross Catholic
2.Papilion/ LV
3. Fremont

Could be wrong, have been before!

And don't worry about being wrong...I thought I was wrong once. Turns out, I was only mistaken.

I was there...
...but would like to see the results in print.. anyone?

Omaha Gross was the team champion; I think Millard West was 2nd.

1. Omaha Gross 201.5
2. Millard West 186.3
3. Norfolk 180.4
4. Papillion La Vista 152
5. Seward 126
6. Fremont 113
7. Sioux City East 104
8. Lincoln High 53

Individual winners:

103. Dan Pedersen, Gross
112. John Payne, Papillion
119. Ryan Hurst, Seward
125. Adam Reeker, Norfolk
130. Jessie Prochaska, Seward
135. John Branigan, Papillion
140. Kyle Mixan, Gross
145. Matt Kingry, Millard West
152. Andrew McGill, Seward
160. Joe Phillips, Seward
171. Josh Glazebrook, Papillion
189. Andrew Anderson, SSE
215. Sam Minardi, Gross
275. Andy Burger, SSE

Outstanding wrestler: one of the SSE wrestlers; a 4 time winner at the Fremont tournament. Not sure if it was Anderson or Burger.

It was Anderson.Will wrestle at UNI next year for Penrith.Heard he turned down a full ride to Iowa State after being courted heavily by Cael.

In the finals he took down Gable 5 or 6 times,I believe he was a freestyle national champ.

I believe Gable would have walked through the 215 bracket.

Why didn't Vancante wrestle or did he?

There were some exciting finals-Reeker beat Pulte I think 5-3 and Branigan beat Rhoades 4-3. Prusha was up 12-0 his first match and was pinned. I'd say it was a pretty good tournament. Anderson was unbelievable, beat Gable like 18-9.

<<103 - 1, Dan Paterson>>

His last name is commonly mispelled; unfortunately. It was wrong on the brackets.

His name is Dan Pedersen.

everyone was talking tran from MW up at 103, but did not see him in the lineup because he was beat out...from what i heard the wrestle off wasnt even close

Lewin controlled the entire match at HWT. Ahead 3-1 with 15 or 20 seconds left he was trying to break free from his opponant on their feet,he tripped and Burger splashed on top of him for a pin.They will wrestle again at SCE dual tourny and Lewin will beat him.

Try being a good loser and do it with class. No excuses please. Just take care of it on the mat.

Did you see the match Mr. Anon?

Did you see the Mckim vs Powell match in Vegas this week?

No,nor did you, but I have watched them wrestle and Heath is close but is not at Powels level.Since prior to this match Jason had scored two tech falls and a 14 point major maybe it was Mckim who was putting up the defense!

they deserve some credit...finished ahead of #7 team Papilion-Lavista by 28.4 pts..yes i know they were without vacanti..but i think you only get 16 pts for a first place finish, and he wasnt enough to pull ahead of them...norfolk didnt score at 119 so if anything vacanti would have beat a MW or OG kid and helped the panthers...panthers were without the starting 152, 171, and 215 varsity starters for various reasons. i thought overall the panthers had a few kids really step up...but norfolk only won 2 of the medal round matches which droped them to 3rd place.

The Semi-Finals Match at 135 between Rhoades from Omaha Gross & Foote from Millard West was worth the price of admission. This match went back and forth for 2 1/2 periods until midway threw the 3rd Rhoades revesed Foote to his back . What a battle. Great job to both kids.
