John Higgins Invite (Lexington) – Adams Central, B#2 Beatrice, B#7 Bennington, B#1 Gering, B#6 Hastings, Holdrege, Lexington, A#2 North Platte, Scott (KS), Sidney

Four of the top seven teams in Class B and Class A #2 North Platte make this the premier Saturday tournament to watch. Event will be streamed on Youtube – MAT 1 | MAT 2 | MAT 3

At 138 Reinke and Diaz could meet again for the second time. Reinke beat Diaz with a late takedown last time they met. Weidner beat Rocheleau 11-10 in Rocheleau’s first weekend on the mat this season at 145.

120 has been one of the most talked about weights in Class B this year and it’ll be a fun one on Saturday. It was Kort who edged 2x State Champ Chavez a few weeks ago in OT.

Things should become a little more clear with B106 after Saturday with four of the top eight. Potential battle of #1’s at 182 between Brauer and Robb.

Who will bring home the team title?

106: B#2 Ashton Dane (GER), B#3 Chance Houser (SID), B#5 Cadyn Coyle (BEN), B#8 Cameron Brumbaugh (HAS), A#9 Kole Weigel (NP), Gavin Vanover (BEA)

Plattsmouth Invite – B#4 Blair, Northwest, A#1 Millard South, B#10 Pierce, Plattsmouth, B#5 Ralston, Schuyler, Waverly

Small quantity – High quality. Robertson and Talmadge met in a preseason match won by Robertson in a close one. Both are unbeaten favorites at 152 A and B respectively and probably see each other all the time at MWC in the offseason. An exciting rematch should be coming between Brown and Hernandez at 285, the top two in Class B. 170 also has the top two in Class B with Canoyer and Schwetizer. Schweitzer will likely need to get past Millard South star freshman Olin in order to meet up with Canoyer. Olin beat Schweitzer a few weeks ago. 195 Dex Larsen and Connor Hoy should be good also. Hoy has been ranked as high as #1 in Class A.

106 A#3 Miles Anderson (MS), B#4 Jesse Loges (Blair), B#10 Ivan Perez (Schuyler)
113 A#7 Gino Retelle (MS), B#9 Luke Frost (Blair), B#10 Caleb Alcorta (Northwest), Cael Nielsen (PLA)

David City Invite (Saturday) – B#3 Aurora, Crete, C#3 David City, Millard West, Mount Michael, Nebraska City, Norris

Should be a good team race with Aurora, David City, Nebraska City and Millard West. 220 C#2 Escamilla and B#2 Meyer should be a good one. 182 C#1 Vodicka will look to remain unbeaten against B#2 Owens and A#4 Blair.

106: B#1 Caden Svoboda (AUR), A#7 Enrique Haynes (MW)
113: C#8 Zach Bongers (DC), A#10 Avery Russell (MW)

NCC Conference – Arlington, Ashland-Greenwood, Conestoga, Fort Calhoun, C#4 Logan View, Louisville, #7 Raymond Central, Syracuse, Yutan

113 – 126 should be excellent. Christo had a close match with Olberding last season. Burton Brandt and Logan Booth will have the top ranking in Class C 195 up for grabs. Logan View should be the team favorite with Raymond Central, Yutan and Syracuse pushing them.

113: #1 Ely Olberding (FC), B#3 Blaine Christo (AG), #5 Jacob McGee (LV)
120: #3 Dru Mueller (LV), #8 Braden Ruffner (CON), #9 Lance Olberding (FC), Jace Goebel (SYR), Cameron Schultz (RC)

Oakland/Craig Invite – Cedar Bluffs, C#9 Cross County/Osceola, GACC, Hartington Cedar Catholic, Howells/Dodge, Malcolm, Norfolk Catholic, North Bend, C#8 O’Neill, Oakland/Craig, Pender, Ponca, Quad County, Tri County NE, West Point/Beemer, Winnebago, D#2 Winside

Three ranked teams. 145-160 all have some intriguing matches. Mullaly nearly beat #1 Kreikemeier so we’ll see how that one goes if he meets up with Graham. 106 is going to be excellent with unbeaten Arlt and Alden on a collision course. Sturek and Alden should make for a good semifinal.

106: C#2 Trenton Arlt (OC), C#4 John Alden (ON), D#5 Layne Sturek (PEN), C#10 Dominic Liess (NC)

LouPlatte Conference – Arcadia/Loup City, C#2 Central City, Centura, Doniphan/Trumbull, Gibbon, C#7 Ord, Ravenna, St. Paul, Wood River

Pretty big match at 113 between Escandon and Kunz will determine the top challenger to returning champ Olberding. 120 is a great weight where we could see Waddington and Burbach square off again. Drahota has made 170 but wrestled 182 last week. Perhaps he’ll go back to 70 to see where he stacks up against #2 Moore and #6 Gabriel.

106: C#1 Drew Garfield (CC), Nick Busse (STP)
113: C#2 Jose Escandon (GIB), C#3 Cole Kunz (CC)
