MAT RATS CLASS 8A PREVIEW 2012-2013


FAVORITES: FRAZEE HORNETS and the BADGER/GREENBUSH-MIDDLE RIVER GATORS

The Hornets of Frazee have back from their 16-3 dual meet campaign a lot of experience. Returning are nine section place winners, including four state qualifiers and eight others with a great deal of experience. They did graduate four very good section place winners including two state place winners. Despite that look for this young team to make a lot of improvement over the course of the season. The Hornets should make a strong challenge for both section and state tourney honors. Bruce Lemon, Hunter Sorenson, Austin Skillings, Byron Byer, Tyler Ziegler and Grant Jepson should be their key leaders thru out the season. Also Tony Reurink will be a huge addition; transfer from Wadena-Deer Creek will give the Hornets a big boost in the heavier weights.

The Gators of Badger/Greenbush-Middle River had an awesome season last year with their 17-3 dual meet marks. They also earned some hardware last season as they claimed fourth place in Class A state and their Section 8A Championship. They return eight section place winners including four state qualifiers. They did graduate four seniors including three state tourney wrestlers, two were state place winners. That will be a lot to lose, but look for the Gators to be back and challenge for possible section honors. Tomm Ingle, Timm Ingle, Devin Dostal, Brendon Waage and Wyatt Becker should be their key leaders thru out the season.

DARK HORSES: UNITED NORTH CENTRAL and the BLACKDUCK/CASS LAKE-BENA BEARS

The Warriors of United North Central posted very good dual meet numbers last season, but they will be looking to improve on those this season. With the graduation of just one senior they are pretty excited for the upcoming season. Look for this young team to make a big improvement on those dual meet numbers. Taylor Carlson, Jake Malone, Max Pajari, Tommy Tellers and Dylan Huttunen should be their key leaders thru out the season. The Warriors should make a strong challenge for conference honors and for a top four spot in this dual meet campaign.

The Bears of Blackduck/Cass Lake-Bena will return five section place winners and seven others with great deal of experience. They did graduate three section place winners last spring. But look for this young team to improve in the course of the season, they should make a big push for the number four spot in this section dual meet campaign. Andrew Nissen and Tanner Templin should be their key leaders thru out the season.

Look for the Rebels of Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton and the Cougars of Mahnomen-Waubun to make a big push for a top four spot in the section. There are three medal winners back from last season; Christopher Zimmer of Walker-Hackensack-Akeley/Nevis earned 3rd Place, Collin Huckbody of Walker-Hackensack-Akeley/Nevis earned 4th Place and Garret Hoffner earned 6th Place. There are a total of seventeen state qualifiers returning from last year's state tourney action. Those not mentioned above are; Mitchell Lundeen of Fertile-Beltrami, Kole Lefebvre of Mahnomen/Waubun and Bryce Ortloff of Deer River.

Look for the following wrestlers: Jordan Ketter, Brett Gildersleeve and Isaac Schermerhorn of Frazee, John Westman and Jacob Jenson of Badger-Greenbush-Middle River, Sam Tellers of United North Central, Brady Gross, Kyle Michalek and Nick Grundmeirt of Blackduck/Cass Lake-Bena, Alex Johnson, Cole Sogge and Chad Johnson of Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton, Hunter Olson and Steve Hendrickson of Fertile-Beltrami, Johnathon Hoffner and Kody LeFebvre of Mahnomen-Waubun, Eric Ortloff and Keith Gribe of Deer River, Jacob Magnell and Cameron Lundeen of Red Lake County Central and Colton Laymon of West Marshall to challenge for medals at the end of the season.

MAT RATS CLASS 7A PREVIEW 2012-2013


FAVORITES: PIERZ PIONEERS and the HOLDINGFORD HUSKIERS

The Pioneers had a great season last year as they posted a very impressive dual marks of 26-6. Back from their section championship team are six state qualifiers, three section place winners and one other with a great deal of experience. Despite the graduation of four section place winners including three state qualifiers. Look for the Pioneers to challenge those awesome dual meet marks from last season. Also look for them to make a strong challenge for conference and section honors, as well possibly some type of state hardware. Chris Ortman, Brad Meyer, Kolton Eischens, Evan Woitalla, Ryley Smude and Nick Lochner to be their key leaders thru out the season.

The Huskers had very good dual meet marks last season; back from that excellent team are twelve section place winners including four state place winners and four others with a great deal of varsity experience. Despite the graduation of three seniors including one state place winners, look for the Huskers to make a very strong challenges for both conference and section honors. They could challenge those dual meet marks from last season if they stay healthy and continue to improve over the season. Trevor Scott, Zach Scott, Kyle Gerads, Mitch Messman and Jordan Gombos should be their key leaders thru out the season.

DARKHORSES: AITKIN GOBBLERS and the ROYALTON ROYALS

The Gobblers posted a very good dual meet marks of 14-5 and a conference championship. Returning from that team are eight section place winners, three of which were state qualifiers and three others with some varsity experience. They did graduate seven seniors last spring including five section place winners, two of which were state qualifiers. But look for the Gobblers to challenge those dual meet marks from last season. They should once again be a major force within the conference and push for a top four spot in the section dual meet campaign. Brian Wold, Adam Bast, Isaac Novak, Jerod Novak, Alan Bast and Jack Braton should be their key leaders thru out the season.

The Royals will return six section place winners including two state qualifiers and eight others with a great deal of experience. Despite the graduation of two seniors including one state place winner. Look for the Royals to improve on those dual meet marks from last season. If they stay healthy and a couple of wrestlers return to the mat after sitting out last season they should make a strong challenge for conference honors and challenge for a top four spot in this section dual meet campaign. Mitch Lange, Cory Wensmann, Brady Moulzolf, Tyler Hegna and Shawn Urbanski should be their key leaders thru out the season.

Look for the Raiders of Mille Lacs and the Patriots of Minneapolis Patrick Henry to push for a top four spot in the section. There is one medal winner back from last season; Zack Scott of Holdingford earned 6th Place. There are a total of seventeen state qualifiers returning from last year's state tourney action.

MAT RATS CLASS 6A PREVIEW 2012-2013

MAT RATS CLASS 6A PREVIEW 2012-2013


FAVORITES: BARNESVILLE TROJANS and the NEW YORK MILLS EAGLES

The Trojans of Barnesville posted a 23-6 dual meet mark last season and earned the section 6A championship and Class A 6th Place honors last season. Back from that young team are ten section place winners including five state qualifiers and five others with varsity experience. They did graduate one section place winner last spring and he was a state qualifier. The Trojans have ten wrestlers back with twenty wins or more. Look for continued improvement with this young team thru out the season. They should make a strong challenge to defend their section title and again earn some hardware at the state tourney. Stuart Brandt, Kyle Johnson, Isaac Goedtke, Conner Meyer and Rylee Anderson should be their key leaders thru out the season.

The Eagles had a good season last year as they posted 14-5 dual meet numbers and they were the Conference Champions. Back from that team are eight section place winners including three state tourney wrestlers and five others with varsity experience. Despite the graduation of four section place winners including one state qualifier. They should challenge those dual meet marks from last season. Look for the Eagles to make a strong bid to defend their conference honors and to challenge for section honors. Shane Novak, Noah Pesola, Tyler Patron, Jeremiah Harper, Max Carlson and Tyler Ehnert should be their key leaders thru out the season.

DARKHORSES: BORDER WEST BUCCANEERS and the BERTHA-HEWITT/VERNDALE RAIDERS

The Buccaneers posted good dual meet mark of 17-10 despite all the injuries and sickness they went thru last season. Back from that team are six section place winners, including four state qualifiers and five others with a great deal of experience. Despite the graduation of two section place winners they should improve on those dual meet numbers. They should make a very strong challenge for one of those top four spots in what could be a very good section dual meet campaign. Cameron Sykora, Gus McCarthy, Austin Maanum, Nick Stafford and Tracer Lee should their key leaders thru out the season.

The Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale Raiders posted good dual meet marks; but they are hoping to make an improvement on that this season. Despite the graduation of two seniors including one state place winners. Look for the Raiders to make a challenge for Conference honors and to be one on those top four teams in the section dual meet campaign. Dillan Card, Justin Gordan, Andrew Bounds, Dakota Finck and Dalton Baker should be their key leaders thru out the season.

Look for the Bulldogs of Ottertail Central and the Vikings of Pelican Rapids to push for a top four spot in the section. There are five medal winners back from last season including Cameron Sykora of Border West earned his 2nd State Championship, Shane Novak of New York Mills earned State Championship, Gus McCarthy of Border West earned 4th Place, Conrad Kondos of Breckenridge earned 4th Place, Tyler Schlosser of Prairie Valley earned 4th Place. There are a total of seventeen state qualifiers returning from last year's state tourney action. Those not mentioned above are: Jesus Romero of Pelican Rapids, Josh Stuehrenberg of Breckenridge.

Look for the Following wrestlers: Kyler Votava, Zach Anderson, Hunter Olson and Alec Wheelright of Barnesville, Peder Schmitz of Border West, Jeremiah Harper and Taylor Ericksrud of New York Mills, Nick Bennett of Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale; Carlos Guiterrez and Josh Klovstad of Pelican Rapids, Gage Odegaard and Jake Larkin of West Central Area, Nolan Koch of Ottertail Central, Sam Waln of Wadena-Deer Creek, Kyle Schlosser and Logan Nibbe of Prairie Valley to challenge for medals at the end of the season.

FAVORITES: ATWATER-COSMOS-GROVE CITY FALCONS and the PAYNESVILLE BULLDOGS

The Falcons of Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City will be looking to improve those very good dual meet numbers of 23-7 from last season. They will return five state qualifiers, two of which were state place winners, four section place winners and three others with a great deal of varsity experience. Despite the graduation of five seniors including four state qualifiers three were state place winners. The Falcons will be looking to improve on those dual meet marks and to defend their honors in the West Central Conference. They will be looking for section and potentially some state tourney honors. Larry Bomstad, Logan Peterson, Tyler Berghuis, Maverick Whitcomb and Lucas Damm should be their key leaders thru out the season.

The Bulldogs of Paynesville had very solid dual meet marks last season, but they will be looking to make some improvement on those numbers. They will return five section place winners and eight others with a great deal of experience. Despite the graduation of four section place winners including a state champion. Look for this young team to make steady progress thru out the season. They should become a force to be dealt with in the conference. The Bulldogs should challenge for a top four spot in the section dual meet campaign. Clay Spanier, Caleb Burris, Tanner Harder and Jacob Mages should be their key leaders thru out the season.

DARKHORSES: KIMBALL CUBS and the BELGRADE-BROOTEN-ELROSA JAQUARS

Despite they graduated four section place winners including three state tourney wrestlers. They will be looking to challenge those numbers and will be hard pressed to do that but they will be looking to defend their conference title and to be one of those top four teams in this section dual meet campaign. Quinten Berres, Marcus Hamer, Austin Schiefelbein, Travis Willis and the addition of Blane Tschida a transfer from Coon Rapids should be their key leaders thru out the season.

The Jaguars of Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa had a very good season last year with 11-9 dual meet marks; back from that team are six section place winners, including three state qualifiers and five others with a great deal of varsity experience.

MAT RATS CLASS 3A PREVIEW 2012-2013

MAT RATS CLASS 3A PREVIEW 2012-2013


FAVORITES: KERKHOVEN-MURDOCK-SUNBURG FIGHTING SAINTS and the WABASSO/RED ROCK CENTRAL BOBCATS

The Fighting Saints posted great dual meet marks of 15-4 last season. Back from the section runner up team are ten section place winners, including two state qualifiers and seven others with a great deal of experience. Despite the fact that they graduated three section place winners including two state qualifiers. Look for the Fighting Saints to challenge those dual meet numbers. They should be looking for section honors and possibly some state hardware this season. Jordan Rothers, Jordan Engler, Cody Peters, Zach Carlson and Kyle Baker to be their key leaders thru out the season.

The Bobcats of Wabasso/Red Rock Central should make another strong challenge for section honors. Back from their 27-4 team include section runner up honors are seven section place winners, which includes five state qualifiers and seven others with a great deal of experience. They did graduate five last spring including four state qualifiers, three of those were state place winners. They did lose a great deal thru graduation and yet look for the Rabbits to be one of those top class A teams in Minnesota. Tanner Rohlik, Spencer Jenniges, Derek Christians, Alex Schroepher and Blake Altermatt should be their key leaders thru out the season. They got a huge boost with the transfer of A. J. Fulton (Dawson-Boyd/LQPV) who was a state qualifier last season.

DARK HORSES: MINNEOTA VIKINGS and the CANBY LANCERS

The Vikings of Minneota will have back from their 25-3 season, which included Class A third place honors and a conference championship. They have back four section place winners, three of which were state qualifiers and six others with a great deal of experience. They did graduate eight seniors, six were state qualifiers and four of those were state place winners. This is a huge loss and they will have a tough time challenging those dual meet marks from last season. But look for this team to make great strides thru out the season, to make a strong challenge to defend their conference and section honors. Isaac Josephson, Landyn VanOverbeke, Bryce Bruner, Nicholas Esping should be their key leaders thru out the season. They will also get a huge boost with the return of Alec Engler injured last season, was 26-13 and a section champion two years ago.

The Lancers of Canby return from their 17-12 dual meet campaign two section place winners and eleven others with varsity experience. They did graduate four section place winners including one state qualifier. The Lancers should continue to improve over the course of the season, look for them to push for that top four spot in this very good section dual meet campaign. John Deslauriers, Christian Full, and Nick Stoks should be their key leaders thru out the season.

Look for the Arrows of Pipestone and the Bold Warriors to push for a top four spot in the section. There are two medal winners back from last season; Jordan Rothers of Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg earned second place and Tanner Rohlik of Wabasso/Red Rock Central earned fifth place. There are a total of thirteen state qualifiers returning from last year's state tourney action. Those not mentioned above are: Brady Zitzman of BOLD, Morgan Staton and Tyler Jensen of Benson.

Look for the following wrestlers: Ben Matter of Wabasso/Red Rock Central, Austin Rothers, Nick Meyer, Chase Norton and Alex Mond of Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg, Cole Hennen of Minneota, Quentin Beiningen and Jack Citrowske of Canby, Alex Hatch, Brett Grund, Trevor Nissen, and Bennie Garcia of BOLD, Walker Kor, Alex Ossefort, Brady Bos, Cole Nordmeyer and Elijah Everson of Pipestone to challenge for medals at the end of the season.
