KWCA Wrestling Rankings

The KWCA Wrestling Rankings for 321A this week do not have Rossville in the Top 10.

Zack Archer is still ranked #2 in 106#
Alex Archer is still ranked #4 in 120#
Kody Davoren is still ranked #4 in 195#

Bulldawgs To State At Hays

From the Capital-Journal:

Rossville won’t have a large contingent at this weekend’s 3-2-1A state meet, sending just four wrestlers to Hays.

But the Bulldawgs maximized their qualifiers with all four going to state after capturing regional titles. Zach Archer (106), Alex Archer (120), Sam Twombly (138) and Kody Davoren (195) each secured regional titles at home last weekend and all four head to state with at least 30 wins.

Zach Archer (35-4) could hold Rossville’s best shot at capturing a state championship, going into the state meet ranked No. 2 at 106. He is on the same side of the bracket, however, as No. 1 Tyler Voss of Colby, who is 36-7.

Alex Archer (32-5) and Kody Davoren (35-4) are both ranked No. 4 at their respective weights. Archer likely will take on No. 3 Hunter Reddick of Fredonia in the quarterfinals, but No. 1 and two-time champion Kolby Beitz of Eureka and No. 2 Drew Bell of Hoxie are on the opposite side of the bracket.

Davoren, meanwhile, is on the same side of the bracket as No. 1 Wyatt Pedigo of Hoisington, who was the 182-pound champion last year. Also on Davoren’s side of the bracket are No. 3 Ryan Junkermeier of Plainville and No. 6 Dagen Goodner of Humboldt.

Silver Lake is sending seven wrestlers to Hays with Kai Allen the lone regional champion in the group. Allen (39-6) is ranked No. 3 at 126 pounds and is on the same side of the bracket as No. 1 Alec Segarra of Hill City.

Eagle freshman Daigan Kruger suffered his first loss in an abbreviated season at regionals and is ranked No. 4 at 152 with a 7-1 mark. His path includes a potential quarterfinal clash with No. 1 and unbeaten Zane Colson of Rock Hills.
