The season has started

Well the season is here and we are looking pretty good. The lineup is coming along just fine. We are looking forward to Seaton making 112, if and when that happens we should have a really strong lineup. Augie is rated #3 again this year, we look forward to another great state appearance from him. There are a bunch of other guys that should be making some noise this year in the conference as well as in the sectional and district levels. Trey Sandbulte will be our 103lber this year, he probably wont see too many other guys all year as Northwest Iowa lacks in 103lbers, this should fair well for him when the postseason rolls around, Pedro Ruiz will be stepping down a weight class to 125 this year. Pedro has spent the last year getting in incredible shape, his speed and ability to wrestle different styles makes him a very tough wrestler to compete with. Kyle Donlin will stepping in at 13o. Kyle is a sophmore who saw only a few varsity matches last year but is a very tough wrestler as well. Thomas Vigdal will be at 135 again. Thomas' double leg is a very hard shot to stop, after a great season last year, we look forward to Thomas taking the next step. 14o Will be filled by Curtis Hayes. Curtis, a senior captain this year, looks to make a huge jump this year after a shoulder injury cost him some matches last year. 145 will be Sam Beernink, Sam is a very strong wrestler and is very good at defense, he will be a difficult match for a lot of people this year. 152 will be filled by Gabe Doornink, Gabe became a much more aggressive wrestler this year and I look forward to seeing his impact in this lineup. 160 will be Colton Vant' Hof, Colton had a great year last year as a freshman, and could easily find himself down in Des Moines when the state tournament comes in February. 171 will be senior Trevor Schelling, Trevor is working his way down to 152 but because of his descent plan will have to wait a couple of weeks before he is able to get there, Trevor is a tough wrestler and brings a lot of passion to the mat, I expect good things from him this year. 189 will be first year wrestler Mark Schmith, Mark will have a good year of learning this year, but is coming on strong already, Mark will fill a big spot in the lineup for us this year and is a very valuble asset to the team. 215 will be Matt Smolders, Matt is a strong wrestler and will have a great year this year, he too should have a great chance at being in Des Moines come February. Dago will be our heavy weight again this year, after a knee injury ended his season last year, Dago should be the premier heavy weight in NW Iowa, I expect a big year from the big dog
