I hope they can win it all this year. I am counting the years until my son can join them. Brett is a 9 year old youth wrestler and is being coached by the high school coaches from the defending 4a state champion Bearcats.Go Bearcats!! The Bearcats are preseason #1 probably should be #2 the runnerup from last year has more qualifiers coming back. The Bearcats are 16 time state champs.

Go husker wrestlers! I am a wrestler myself so I have special interest in these guys. Burroughs is olympic caliber. Brester beat Varner last year, lets hope he does it again but when it counts this time.
