Thank you. I just hope my team can get here.

Coach Fergola-check your email. Thanks!

HB, giving any thoughts to broadcasting the dual?

My broadcast equipment will be out in Kearney for DII so I can't. But I am going to definitely try and make the dual. Usually, there are a few Dana guys that broadcast their duals. Not sure if they're streamed or not.

The dual will be broadcast live via Takedown Wrestling Radio just like last year.

GO NEBRASKA!

Coach Fergola, are you doing any pre-event online radio shows? i.e. is Takedown Radio doing any programs prior to tomorrow's scheduled start there in SC?

and btw, are all systems still set to go tomorrow? I'm sure you are more on top of weather issues there than we, but reports from Omaha at this very moment are very negative

Best match ups yet should be a fun dual .How far is it from Kearney to Dana .

210 miles.

Do you think we can make it with out missing Nationals action ?

You would have to miss the 1st and 2nd round cosolations that start at 6:00 that evening.

Looks like another whippin for the for the boys to the West! This line up has some good matches, but sorry to say for the home team...not many chances for victory here! Iowa again in a landslide!

103- Zach Fronce (Ralston) vs. Cruse Aarhus (Cedar Rapids-Kennedy)
112- Clayden McKim (Millard South) vs. Mike Helle (RCL-SCAL)
119- Jared DeTurk (Amherst) vs. Tyler Clark (Bettendorf)
125- Andy Pokorny (Bennington) vs. Dalton Jensen (Missouri Valley)
130- Robert Eklund (Friend) vs. Micah Sheffield (Sioux City North)
130- Dylan Laughlin (Creighton Prep) vs. Tyler Halverson (Cherokee-Washington)
135- Daniel Rodriguez (Kearney) vs. Jordan Hasenkamp (Twin River Valley)
140- Trenton Washington (Boystown) vs. Zach McCool (West Delware-Manchester)
140- Travis Kuhn (High Plains Community) vs. Ben Knight (Sargeant Bluff)
145- Esai Dominguez (Creighton Prep) vs. TJ Moen (Saydel)
152- DeVaughan Perkins (Omaha North) vs. Andrew Sorensen (Forest City)
152- Chad Brester (Howells) vs. Ryan Helenthal (Keokuk)
160- Matt Mueller (Malcolm) vs. Robert Kellogg (Sioux City North)
171- Corey Steiger (Lincoln NE) vs. Ryan Ketelsen (Osage)
189- Mitch Brown (Millard South) vs. Vinnie Wagner (Osage)
215- Daniel Stoelting (Southern Valley) vs. Colton White (Tri-Center)
HWT- Shawn Meyer (Plainview) vs. Ben Boothby (Clinton)

Whatever dude. Nebraska is going to win 112, 125, 135, 140, 145, 152, and 189. Toss up matches at 103, 130, 171, 215 and 285. It could just be that Nebraska wins this thing in a landslide.

No way is hwt a toss-up. Boothby is a beast.

Escamilla is one of the best in the country and Meyer went toe to toe with him. Meyer has wrestled quite a bit out of state-he'll do fine.

Mason, why are you so negative about Neb Kids. You could have just said looks like it will be a tough dual instead of running one side down.
Most of these kids are very grateful for the opportunity to wrestle against some great competition. Positive Mason positive!!!

I'll take:

103 - Aarhus over Fronce
112 - McKim over Helle
119 - Clark over DeTurk
125 - Pokorny over Jensen
130 - Laughlin over Halverson
130 - Sheffield over Eklund
135 - Rodriguez over Hasenkamp
140 - Washington over McCool
140 - Kuhn over Knight
145 - Moen & Dominguez will be a battle (toss up)
152 - Perkins over Sorensen
152 - Helenthal over Brester
160 - Kellogg over Mueller
171 - Ketelsen over Steger
189 - Brown & Wagner - toss up
215 - White over Stoelting
HWT - Toss up, but I like Boothby over Meyer in a close one to finish it.

I will just add in:
-Sheffield was taken apart by Dan Pedersen of Millard South earlier this year.

-Dominguez has, to my knowledge, beat Moen every time they've ever wrestled, including 10-4 at last year's Brute Finals.

-Stoelting and White is a toss up-have seen em both this year.

You need not overlook Hasenkamp from Cherokee and Knight from Seargent Bluff. Those are not given. And if I am correct, that was one of 2 losses for Sheffield before state, but he is a wonderful wrestler and placed 3rd in one the toughest weights in Iowa.

Remember-CLONESRULE!!!
