NKy Jamboree-----Nov. 23rd at Holmes :dancingpa

It depends on what you are referring to as best team. Best dual team or best tourney team. I personally have to go with Larue at the state tourney. They have some proven talent comming back. 2 finalists and a 3rd. Parker, Miller, and Banks could all be in the finals scoring big points. They also have Carman and Barnhill (who both placed last year) at 152,160. Most of the tough competition graduated from those wt. classes. Moving them way up. Sheldon Clark only has one proven stud. Howard. although I think Wells could make some noise if given a good draw in the state tourney. This is all based on passed state tourney accomplishments, I don't have any firsthand knowledge/ties and therefore IMO makes it impartial. However I know both of these teams usually pull a few wrestlers out of the woodwork that few know about and could change my mind quickly. This is only my Pre-season prediction.

Lets compare the two teams: Larue Co. and Sheldon Clark --------------------Larue----------------Sheldon Clark---------Winner Returning qualifiers ---9-------------------12----------------Sheldon Clark Returnig placers------5--------------------3-----------------Larue Returning Finalists----2--------------------1-----------------Larue Returning state tour. wins---29------------23----------------Larue I would have to give the nod to Larue based on last years performance. A breakdown of each team. Larue Co. Those returning state qualifiers 112 Lucus Rec. 1-2 in state tourney 119 Miller 2nd 125 Parker 2nd 135 Banks 3rd 145 Wheeler 1-2 152 Carmen 8th 160 Barnhill 8th 171 Embree 2-2 189 William 3-2 Sheldon Cl. 103 Slone 3rd 112 Grimm 2-2 119 Stepp 0-2 125 Smith 1-2 130 Marcum 0-2 135 Howard 2nd 145 Dials 8th 152 Horn 1-2 160 Burgess 1-2 189 Slone 1-2 215 Chaffin 1-2 Hwt Wells 2-2 :thumb: :thumb:

does anyone have a list of the small school teams?

I would list them as follows 1. Kyle Ruschell 2. Jacob Murton 3. Neil Cooper 4. Tony McDermott 5. Max Ervin These are the ones who impressed me the most in the tourney. Ruschell dominated everyone no-one even gave him a scare Jacob Murton was dominant but was shocked by Robert Smith for a second Neil Cooper dominated everyone and was dominant for most of the finals match Tony McDermott looked great the whole tourney. Max Ervin dismantled everyone.
