Here are some looks at each weight class. Should be a very good tournament! Very competitive!!!!!

 

103 weight class-Purifoy from Abingdon is the favored wrestler here. He is undefeated this season. the run for second will be tight between Freeman of Marion, and Santoemma of Magna Vista.

 

112 weight class-this will be a dog fight for the regional champ between Hankins of Grundy, and Schuster of Carroll County. Flora from Tunstall will give Hankins a very good match in the Semi Finals

 

119 weight class-a very good weight class Champion will be whoever shows up to wrestle between Walk of Graham, and Pace of Bassett. In the run for second will be a tight one between Flinchum of Grundy, Parks of Marion, and Wilson of Tazewell.

 

125 weight class-this weight class is LOADED! Kris Stiltner of Grundy should win it with no problems. but there are some very good wrestlers behind him! Castle of Virginia High, Glenn of Marion, Hamrick of Martinsville, Copeland of Magna Vista, and Jackson of Richlands. This weight class is definately one of the toughest.

 

130 weight class-Bowman of Carroll County is the favorite, he will have a tough match in the semi finals with Moore of Martinsville or Smith of Grundy. Second is up for grabs, Powers of Marion, and Brown of Graham should meet in the Semi Finals.

 

135 weight class. Aaron Stiltner of Grundy, and Dorian Carter of Martinsville will meet in the finals. Should be a good match!!!!! third is up for grabs...but should be Addison of VHigh

 

140 weight class. The piedmont district is loaded in this weight class! Lanier of Magna Vista will battle in the finals with the winner between McCowan of Grundy, defending regional champ Caldwell of Tunstall, and Dionne of Martinsville.

 

145 weight class Brown of Grundy, and Deadmore of Abingdon in the finals, fight for third with Shortt of Richlands, and Echols of Tunstall

 

152 weight class this is another loaded weight class whoever comes with their head on straight in the bottom bracket can win it-Tuell of Abingdon, Flood of Martinsville, Peery of Graham, Smith of Richland. In the other bracket Curcio of VHigh, and Owens of Grundy will meet to determine who will go to the finals.

 

160 weight class Penley of Grundy is heavily favored in this class. Other noteable wrestlers: Owens of VHigh, Hairston of Bassett, Martin of Martinsville, McDaniel of Tazewell.

 

171 weight class probably the toughest weight class. Shelton of Martinsville and Henderson of Graham should be in the finals, and the one who wants it the most....... but there are others who will be giving them a big fight! Henderson will most likely have Brown of Marion in the Semi finals. in the other bracket there are three very tough wrestlers-Shelton of Martinsville will have to battle Skeens of Abingdon, and Demarco Owens of Grundy.

 

189 weight class-Looney of Grundy should win this one with no problems, but will have to battle with Hall of Marion in the Semis to get past his toughest match. Others who should have a good tournament: Williams of Abingdon, Miller of Bassett, Hairston of Martinsville, Barreras of Graham.

 

215 weight class Ross of Bassett is the favorite in this weight class, but he will have a tough match with Matt Lee of Grundy. Third is up for grabs with whoever wants it most. Corbett of Patrick County, Ray of Martinsville, and Dunn of Abingdon will have to decide that.

 

275 weight class. this weight class is very interesting. Rhodes of Marion should win it, but there are many wrestlers who could have a good tournament! Houchings of Richlands, Witt of VHigh, Foley of Bassett, Porter of Martinsville, Stiltner of Grundy, Martin of Graham.

 

It should be one of the best tournaments in a while! Come out to Graham on Friday, and Saturday, and watch some good wrestling!!!!!
