Brenden Pye from Woodland will contend at 75 or 80 this year. Went 1-1 in two close matches with Ketchen-Carter last year, and 1-1 against one of the Grandstaff's. One other kid from Woodland, Gerald Seeney, beat two state qualifiers last year, finished 5th in a tough 113 weight class in districts, has some quality wins this spring, may not deserve a ranking this early, but should be a state qualifier at 113 or 121 depending on how much he grows.

I thought the officiating was fine. The only problem I had is it seems like officials are really hesitant to call stalling at the middle school level. There were several matches where stalling was a problem and I only saw a couple of warnings given. Overall, all though, a well run tournament, things went quickly and smoothly, despite only having two mats. And there were some super matches.

Ketchen-Carter finished 3rd, and Pye finished 4th. Pye did beat Carter in the quarters in a close match. Just about every kid in that class deserves a shot at regionals. The whole district 6 tournament was extremely competitive. I think Holmes surprised a lot of folks. Almost every class from 70-140 was pretty deep, although the bigs were pretty shallow. The seeding was very good, as most of the brackets came out the way they were seeded. A lot of the alternates could compete at regionals....113 comes to mind. Hamilton from Twenhofel has been very good all year and he finished 6th. Seeney from Woodland (who finished 5th)dropped from 121 and upset Williamson in the quarters (who finished 3rd) and stuck Hamilton pretty quick in the first period in the 5th place match which was also a pretty big upset. As was mentioned, Delong can hang with anyone in the state and it's too bad he got left out. Campbell County is crazy deep, and Twenhofel, Turkeyfoot and Holmes can hang with anybody in the state. Woodland showed up with quite a few kids, most of which are young and got a few kids into regionals and a few 5 and 6th place finishers and will be pretty competitive next year, and Summit is decent too. You can be sure that there will be more than a few state placers coming out of this district

One sleeper at 70 is Brendon Pye from Woodland. He wrestled Whorton (lost 4-2), Delong (2-1) really tough, and lost to Frietsch 11-6. Still really green (only been wrestling for a few weeks), but he's going to shock at least one of the top kids before it's all said and done. He doesn't belong on the list until he does, but he's going to be tough to beat over the next few weeks.
