Is Division 3 going to be like every year?

A lot of people are saying that D3 is looking like every other year this year and saying that Coleman is going to win it again. Coleman is very stacked(like every year) but there are other stacked teams as well. Lancaster has my bet this year for the D3 team state title. I think that Ethan Soderstrom will win individuals for Lancaster this year as well.

Wisconsin Badgers New Recruits

The Badgers are looking very strong this year and have brought in many of our top wrestlers around the state. The two top wrestlers that the Badgers recruited come from right here in south east Wisconsin. Andrew Crone from Heartland Arrowhead who is a 2 time state champion will be competing at 141. Grahek will be competing at 133 for the badgers and they will both have good chances at cracking the starting line-up.

Division 2 Looking very strong.

The talk in Wisconsin wrestling the past couple of years has really always revolved around division 1, but this year differs from years past.

Division 2 is looking very solid in all of the 14 weight classes. The middle weights are looking very tough and the one that I am most excited to watch throughout the season is 132. Dewey Krueger from Oconto Falls is the defending state champ this year as a Junior, but the question is will he go 132 this year again? I also think that Trevor Greene out of Pewaukee will be in the finals this year at 132 and if any one has a shot at beating Krueger this year the heavily experienced Senior has the best chance.

Another weight that has much depth in talent is surprisingly the 220 lbs. weight class. With Luke Destiche returning as a senior after an undefeated junior campaign under his belt, will the upper weight be able to win his second state title? Jacob Roseland has been looking very good during this summer wrestling season and he could possibly give Destiche a good match up in Madison.  

There is a good wrestling season ahead and I cannot wait. It will definitely be one to remember.
