Plus the Cougar Clash but I don't know who is in that tournament.

The only two unranked teams were SIU-E and Binghamton.

Oh I missed the Journeymen Collegiate Classic. I thought that was what they called the matches with ASU and Binghamton.

No idea if this is Illini related (could be a recruit I suppose), but it is Illinois related and an example of what makes sports (especially HS sports) so great.

Very cool. I lived in Washington in the 60's. We moved before I attended WacoHi.

On the flip side, my great nephew wrestles in Iowa. He finished 8th after not being able to get out of sectionals the past few years. I was looking at the other wrestlers in his bracket. The guy I thought would win finished 3rd as a Fr, won as a Soph and Jr. He was in the title match and lost this year. He lost.

Congrats to your nephew.

Washington is quite the wrestling power — at least this year anyway. Pretty certain O saw a tweet that they had 4 state champs this year.
