WC1998

All I remember is that they have shown up to the tournament for the last two year and won fairly easy. I am not sure where any of those kids will be but they do make the brackets interesting. Crawley pinned Mika Clark from Gordon Lee last year according to the brackets. Gordon Lee Coach looked like he was frustrated in all three finals matches last year but he had to be happy with having no champs and still winning the tournament before the finals had started. They are a tough bunch but they are beatable as we seen in the finals.

I just took random stabs at where some of the Gordon Lee kids would be. They seem to bring a tough group up every year. The first year they came they put three in the finals and had three champs and 7 more kids wrestling for 3-4.. Last season they had three in the finals and all three lost but they had 7 more placewinners to secure the team title. They are fun to watch and I am glad they make the trip every year for the competition. Im not sure what weight the Ragsdale kid will be at this season. I just know I was very impressed with him last season. With Hall and Rearic in the bracket who knows where seeds will fall it should make for a very interesting bracket.

Predictions for Champs: 106 McKenna South Old. 6th last year at 106 113 Ragsdale Gordon Lee 3rd at 106 last season I was really impressed with this kid last season. 120 Whalen Henry Clay 1st at 106 last season, second at 103 the previous year 126 Crawley Southern 1st last season at 120 132 Spires Gordon Lee 2nd at 126 last season, 1st the year before at 119 138 Jacks Gordon Lee 2nd at 132 last season 1st at 103 the previous year 145 Clay Franklin County 3rd at 138 last season 152 Doyle Woodford 3rd last season at 152 160 Courtney Woodford 1st last season at 160 170 Farmer Gordon Lee 3rd last season at 170 182 Barrett Southern 2nd at 182 last season 195 Conrad North Old. 1st last season at 195 220 Reeser Central Hardin 5th last season at 220 HWT Porter Danville 1st last season at HWT Looking at last years placements. Not sure if the kids will be at those weights just taking a guess. Should be one heck of a tournament.

Boone will be at Mt. Healthy Duals on Dec. 28th according to their schedule.

WV will be @ GMVWA Holiday Tournament @ Nutter Center on Dec. 28th and 29th according to their schedule

Looking over last years WCI Placewinners here is how they stack up. Alot of Senior placewinner in the brackets from last year. Gordon Lee Returns 10 Placewinners 3 - Runnerups 4 - Third Place 1 - 4th place 2 - 6th place Walt Ver. Returns 4 Placewinners 2 Champs 1 runnerup 1 fourth Woodford 3 Returns 3 Placewinners 1 champ 1 third 1 fifth Southern Returns 3 Placewinners 1 champ 1 runner up 1 6th Eastern Returns 3 Placewinners 2 - 3rd place 1 - 6th place Franklin Returns 3 Placewinners. 1 champ 1 - 3rd 1 - 5th Several teams with 2 returning placewinners.

Seems like Gordon Lee brought a group last year that did not have any seniors. Interested to see where their 106 from last season will be at. He wrestled Whalen in the Semi's last year and Whalen beat him by 1 pt.

Gordon Lee out of GA should be the favorite having won the last two years.
