IN B, Republic and Reardan return multiple state placers from last year and will be in the mix.

Individually, there should be a load of medals for local wrestlers. Just a few of many to watch. U-High's Brian Owen at 130 pounds and CV's Logan Bowman. Clete Hanson from EV has been in the title hunt for a couple of years.

Riverside's Ryan DesRoches is a 2-time state champ. His brother Jake also hopes to compete at 152 pounds, but Deer Park's Cody Miller will be tough to beat.

Lakeside has 6 top 3 placers from last year returning.

Republic returns 3 state champs and 4 placers from last year, while Reardan has state champ Derek Toney and 4 other medalists.
