TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

We are headed West to Council Bluffs for a big time tournament. Roughly 120 state qualifying wrestlers will be on the mats this weekend! Last year was the tournaments debut so you probably haven’t heard about it but this tournament packs in a lot of great wrestlers from the midwest. Below you will see some of the notable wrestlers at each weight class and how they faired at last years respected state tournaments. These wrestlers are not confirmed at these weight classes for the tournament. When wrestlers coming from different states it will be difficult to pin point each wrestlers exact weight class. This will give you a good idea of the type of talent at the tournament. The number one overall ranked wrestler in the nation, Mark Hall from Apple Valley, MN will highlight the tournament at 182lbs. Let’s take a look at who you should keep your eye on this weekend.
