GENERAL COMMENTS: This weight class is messy. Sandy is undefeated in AA/A competition. Hughart is the highest returning state place winner at 3rd. His lone AA/A loss is to Koontz. Hughart holds three wins over teammate and JV Sensation Cooper. McKenzie is a returning state sixth place winner. He has lost to Hughart and defeated Koontz. Cooper could lay claim to being #4 in the state with wins over Varney and recently over Koontz. Unfortunately, Cooper's great season is over. Koontz maintains #4. Lewis holds at #5. He has a win over Varney. Lewis is 2 and 1 over Bullman. Varney is #6 with a win over Bullman. A shout out to Brown of Liberty Raleigh who is a returning state 5th place winner. Anything can happen in this weight class. Slams, upsets, beatdowns, pinning your opponent, pinning yourself, injuries, DQs, overtime losses. This bunch has done it all!!!!!
