Question: Does anyone know why Barnett (160) from Roxana has been replaced in the brackets by Raney from Belleville Altoff? Is he hurt, sick, academically ineligible, or did he quit the team again?

Why is Walton(Vandalia) at 189 picked only at 3rd....I see that Bronke(Pinckneyville) has a better record, but Pinckneyville is notorious for wrestling a very weak schedule(mainly all down south teams, with a few exceptions)?

Even though Pinckneyville may have a weak schedule, I have seen both of these guys wrestle and I was just more impressed by Bronke. Bronke pretty much dominated Stitt from Argenta in the championship match of the Mt Olive tourney. Walton seems solid also.

You are right, Bronke did win and from newspaper clippings it seems Stitt was highly disappointed. But didnt Stitt beat Bronke about 2 weeks earlier at the Argenta Bomber Tournament? So that means that against ranked competition Bronke is 1-1,,,,what kind of ranked competition did Walton(Vandalia)wrestle against?

Walton lost to Caleb Rathbun by 1 in overtime in the Vandalia vs Prarie Central dual.

pretty good little predictions, but i got a couple of thing: 160, Kamp will take it, 130, Sanchez won't get out of sectionals. and with Barnett, we aren't sure but rumor has it that after Kamp dominated him at regionals, he prolly quit again.
