Thursday Spotlight Duals

A#1 Millard South / B#7 Bennington / Lincoln Southeast

Should be several competitive matches in this triangular. Any chance Lauridsen bumps up again and wrestles A#1 Caleb Coyle?

106: A#4 Miles Anderson (MS), B#5 Cadyn Coyle (BEN)

113: B#1 Kael Lauridsen (BEN), A#5 Evan Fuchs (LSE), A#7 Gino Retelle (MS)

132: A#4 Aiden Robertson (MS), B#4 AJ Parris (BEN)

145: A#1 Tyler Antoniak (MS), A#5 Ian Mendoza (LSE)

220: A#10 Christian Nash (MS), B#10 Carter Lerch (BEN)

285: A#3 Nolan Olafson (MS), Jake Stier (BEN)

B#2 Beatrice vs B#7 Hastings

Two of the deepest teams in B will clash at Beatrice. Five ranked matches and we can only hope #1 at 138 Reinke bumps up to wrestle #2 at 145 Weidner. Should be an exciting dual regardless!

106: #7 Cameron Brumbaugh (H) vs #10 Gavin Vanover (B)

120: #9 Markus Miller (H) vs #10 Bryce Karlin (B)

152: #6 Cole Maschmann (B) vs #7 Jett Samuelson (H)

170: #4 Torrance Keehn (B) vs #6 Jackson Phelps (H)

220: #3 Blake Davis (H) vs #8 Nolan Bahnson (B)

Plenty of other action going on tonight around the state as well. The Brandon Baustert and Archer Heelan rivalry could resume in the Kearney/Lincoln East dual, the battle of Wahoo between Wahoo and Bishop Neumann, among others.

FRIDAY TOURNAMENTS

Head here to check out our preview of the Crete Girls Invite

Northstar Gator Invite – #2 North Platte, #10 Fremont, Elkhorn South, Kearney, Lincoln Northstar, Millard North, 

North Platte will be making a double dip in eastern Nebraska wrestling in Lincoln on Friday and Beatrice on Saturday. They have been all over the state and have more matches than just about anyone. Elkhorn South has been hot, winning the Ralston Invite and finishing third at the Bennington duals. Fremont has a steady lineup top to bottom and will be a tough out. Kearney, Millard North, and Lincoln North Star all have guys that can make some noise.

EMC Duals – B#7 Bennington, B#3 Blair, Elkhorn, Elkhorn North, Norris, Waverly

Blair and Bennington should be on a collision course to wrestle each other. Both teams have very strong lineups top to bottom. Waverly has spent time in the top ten this season. Match of the day will be MacDonald and Larsen at 195.

Wilber/Clatonia Duals – C#10 Bishop Neumann, C#4 Logan View, C#6 Milford, Norfolk Catholic, Wakefield, C#9 Wilber-Clatonia

Milford and Norfolk Catholic are in same subdistrict and Logan View will join them at district finals. There should be some important matches for seeding purposes. The C3 District at 160 is one of the toughest in the state with five ranked wrestlers so the match between Springer and Mendez will be big. Milford probably has a little too much depth for Logan View, but that should be a great dual and could come down to the last match or two. Also worth noting that returning qualifier Lierman wrestled 126 to start the year and should now be down to 113 where he’ll be a medal contender.

106: C#3 Pedro Hernandez (WC), C#6 Conner Kohout (MIL)

113: C#5 Jacob McGee (LV), Cade Lierman (BN)

Millard West Invite – Gretna, Lincoln SW, Millard West, Omaha Burke, #5 Omaha Westside, Papio South, #7 Papillon-LaVista, South Sioux City

There will be lots of great match ups at the middleweights. Papillon LaVista has a lot of depth and will be tough to beat. Lincoln Southwest has been pretty successful in duals and Omaha Westside has several big time point scorers.The rest have guys scattered throughout the rankings and will be able to hold their own.
