Sure, if you’re talking about what team is better. But, we aren’t talking about teams here. We are talking about individual wrestlers. 

In a team sport like football, what class matters a lot. 

In an individual sport like wrestling, you can have kids from below class A that dominate. 

Maybe a few, but competition over all is better in b & a, then c.

I wrestled state in both class c & b competition was much better in b.  I moved to Lincoln after I graduated and i see a lot of recruiting of hs players in football & basketball to parochial schools, so the comments on skutt is not surprising. 

Yeah, B is usually pretty nasty...The Boys Town Invite is basically the state tournament.  If you place at that invite you are probably placing at state.

It was a long time ago.  Boys town was not very good back then.

They are just okay now...but it was just the teams that they hosted for the invite.

Gross (they were so good)

Skutt

Underwood (Iowa)

Gretna

Wahoo

It was stacked.

It's too bad because it's fallen off a little bit.  It used to be a total meat grinder.  You also had Aurora, Tekamah-Herman, Missouri Valley, IA always had a few good kids, Central was always decent.

Nice memory!

And yes...everyone called it a meat grinder...when I was coaching at BT we always said "Place here and you will place at state" it was brutal.  I can still remember Skutt coming in their first year...they got tore up...next year...they dominated.

Eastern Nebraska folk. How about the Chadron Invite!

Why is there a class tournament in wrestling?  I know there are teams but it's pretty much an individual sport.

Well...16 seeds per class...I suppose if they didn't do that it with classes you would end up with like 80 (or more) kids in one bracket.

So, how’s his recruiting going? Lol

 

[SODAKSKERSFAN20]

I think he goes to Nebraska and only plays football.

Pretty well. Enhanced by how well he's doing in wrestling. Although it appears the competition is in question. That's up a bit in the thread.

Planning OV to Wisconsin for June 7.

Also planning summer OV’s to Nebraska and Oregon.

Lining up a Wisconsin OV in June and the Badgers are now recruiting him as a DL, which isn't an issue since he told their staff that he was open to it.

Have you ever wrestled?  Bigger the school,  the larger the team.   Smaller schools usually don't have a complete team. 

Not necessarily true,  I coached class D and A wrestling.  Class A probably has more top end wrestlers overall, but they don't usually have the depth of wrestlers.  Every year in class A there are probably 3-4 kids in every Wt class that have no business qualifying for state.  They are average wrestlers at best.  No such thing in the lower classes it is a dog fight in every district just to make it to state.
