How does the region look? As for 140-Matt Mines I know he has been working real hard and close to peaking. He wants to show the State that it was not a fuke that he beat Banks last year at State. He is at 100% and recovered from his last year injury just prior to state and he is working real good with coach.

idk i mean banks has picked it up this year...might go any way!

Looks like Union County will run away with the team title and probably qualify the whole team for State. Outside of Union, it looks like Caldwell has 4 to 5 big guns to help them finish as runner ups. From 3rd down, it doesn't look promising for the rest of the teams and it pisses me off. From 3rd down the other teams just have 1 or 2 guys that they are looking at to do well in regionals and state. I think the emphasis is on building for the future. This is usually not a problem for a team however, when it is an entire region it is. Christian Co. has a lot of depth but they are young so in 2 years I think they will be back. Outside of them, I am not knowledgeable enough of the other teams to make any intelligent statements. I know that freestyle wrestling in the summer plays a big part in Union Co. success each year becasue they have a solid base coming into the program yearly, furthermore, Dennis knows his stuff and he has a great supporting staff. When I was at Fort Campbell, summer wrestling payed off tremendously for our boys along with are weight training program and low risk high success technique system. Think about it, in 3 years we went from 4th to 2nd to 1st in the region. A lot of that was due to summer wrstling. Union county has people outside of Coach Walls involved with their summer program. Lets model after their success. Also, scheduling has a lot to do with it. To remain neutral, I will leave that issue alone. Good luck to all the young men at regionals at state. Train hard wrestle harder.

Mines (140) and Banks (145) are at diferent weight classes this year.
