In the Southwest Class 3, Ozark, with 8 returning SQ, is the team to catch.

[Fist of Love]

In the Southwest Class 3, Ozark, with 8 returning SQ, is the team to catch.

How many of those 8 qualifiers placed?

[SNOOZY BEAR]

WHEN WILL THE SW HAVE THEIR OWN STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS?

[OzCoach]

Not a single one of those 8 wrestlers placed. Until Ozark is able to put a few wrestlers on the medal stand, they are chasing the pack. Instead, Nixa with a returning champion and a runner-up along with a healthy Beau Pickering and a slew of solid wrestlers should be considered at the top along with Neosho with a stable of good wrestlers. Also don't be surprised with what Branson will do. Stephens, Johnston, Robbins and Hairston as well as a few others will all have good seasons. Plus we all know that Carthage with the addition of Espinosa to an already good staff will just get better. Wrestling in southwest Missouri class 3 should be fun this year. But trust me, every program listed is more concerned about performing well ouside of this area. Good luck to you all.

[Espo]

Hey, Coach Jackson, I want to know a little more about your new coach. As for my helping out much, Kenny is a charitable person who decided the old horse wasn't quite yet ready for the pasture. In my mind, your Tigers, the Pirates, and good ole Nixa are at the top. As you say, SWMO will be quite interesting this year.

[OzCoach]

Along with Mark Cabellero from last year, we have added two coaches. I feel extremely lucky to have Andrew Lokie in the room. He wrestled in college at Ohio University in Athens Ohio and was a NCAA qualifier back in the early 80's. Also Brandon York from the University of Maryland is helping out. Brandon was a four-time ACC conference champion and therefore a multiple NCAA qualifier. He set a record for most career wins while at Maryland. The best part of it all is that he never told me any of this. I found it out when looking at the Maryland Wrestling web site. Brandon is working on his Masters in Christian Counseling at BBC in Springfield, while Andie teaches at MSU. When I introduced these two to our squad I told our wrestlers that all three of us have been to the NCAA's. Me as a spectator and these two as competitors. I feel my job this year is to make sure the bus has gas and let these guys do their thing in the room. Seriously, I'm lucky to have two good guys like this in the room. Espo, when Coach Elliot sent me the newspaper clipping about Carthage's new coaching staff, I knew I had to take drastic action. See you soon.

[Espo]

HAAAAA! Coach, you are still the master of propaganda. I'd pay money to sit in on your lectures of motivation tactics and fact distortion. Thanks for the update--I look forward to seeing you, Cabbie and your two newest additions throughout the season.

[Thfzn]

Any word on the Springfield schools?

[Nineballman]

HAAAAA! Coach, you are still the master of propaganda.

classic line

[yoyowrestling]

Looking through results I only found two wrestlers from Springfield and they are both from Kickapoo. Trent Freeman will be a sophmore at Kickapoo and Willy Ressel will be a junior at Kickapoo. Trent was injured and defaulted at state and Willy lost both his matches by decision.

[Class_3_Fan]

Both of those wrestlers compete in Class 4.

I know they compete in class 4 but I was responding to the first post and to the post about Springfield schools.

[Liberator Coach]

Southwest Missouri Wrestling Fans, Coaches etc.

Please see the post regarding the proposed Richland Wrestling Program on the class 1 forum. Thanks

[klhill]

By the way yoyo, Willy Ressel did not lose both times at state last year by decision. I only know this because my son pinned him in the first round. Just FYI.

[B. Buckley]

I talked to Coach Walker at Parkview and these are the teams that have been invited this year. Hope this helps


Parkview
Glendale
Kickapoo
Hillcrest
Central
Joplin
Rolla
Lebanon
Truman
Warrensburg
Marshall
Willard
Columbia Hickman
Neosho
Monett

[B. Buckley]

Coach Walker said that he would be willing to have another team added if anyone would like to get in. If you are wanting to you can contact me and I will pass the info on.

[yoyowrestling]

Sorry KlHill I guess I looked at them wrong. Hey Buckley what happened to Sands Springs and the other schools that used to compete in the holiday tournament? Are they trying to make it just a large semi local meet? Just curious but im sure I'll make it up to watch. Thanks for the update.

[B. Buckley]

I am not sure about the teams I don't have anything to do with the invites. It would be great for our area to get some teams from around the state to come but it is hard with all the other tournaments around the same time. It is always a good tournament with good matches, I think this year will be the same. Sorry I don't have the answer.

[Tiger_Coach]

Anyone ready to list their starting varisty lineup?

Who is the team to beat?

[obnoxio]

In this tournament???

I'll take Hickman.

[Tiger_Coach]

Just looking for the Starting Lineups for teams in SW MO. for the start of the year. Knowing that changes will take place and individuals will move as the season goes on.

Did not know if I would have to wait to see the results here or read them in the Joplin Globe or the Springfield News Leader and other papers.

Several teams should have tough lineups this year with wrestlers that return and what weight class they have grown into.

Several schools will return several SM (State Medalist) and SQ (State Qualifiers)

Who has the best lineup for the start of the season?
103
112
119
125
130
135
140

[BIG R]

Very anticipated duel between NIXA and CARTHAGE tonight, NIXA has never beaten CARTHAGE in a duel if Im correct. Looking at the line ups it looks like both teams are returning 11 starters. Both programs are good examples on the forward steps SW MO. teams are taking. GO EAGLES !!!!

[PAPA SMURF]

why doesnt the southwest secede from the rest of the state? they could have their own rankings,own state,and sader could even start an aau dyanasty. oh, the south will rise again!

[T.D.C.Dad]

Okay Papa Smurf lets hear about your team or team's. :) Or are you on here just to start a fuss.

[MG_Grievous]

why doesnt the southwest secede from the rest of the state?

Now you're definitely not going to be told our plot.

[BIG R]

Hes not starting a fuss, but we do... Its called districts.

[swmodad]

I don't know about Nixa but for Carthage of those that wrestled on Tuesday only 7 are returning Varsity wrestlers from last year. Several Freshmen are in the starting lineup and several who have not wrestled varsity at all. There are several state qualifers for both teams which always is exciting for the fans to gauge how the kids match up compared to last year.

[bulldog]

So tell me Big R, how did little r and the rest of the eagles do tonight.

[BIG R]

Little r didnt fair to well. The loss wasent important us we wanted Chad for he may be the best wrestler r has faced to date. Im not sure he will be at 52 all year but if he is dont be suprised of a much better showing next time. For the rest of our Eagles most wrestled well, the couple who were expected to better, well, THATS why we wrestle for j. carter he will getem jump started. Thanks for asking, ?

[who needs to know]

nixa, 8 returning starters, two freshman, carthage 2 freshman not several with 7 returning starters and the other several who never wrestled varisity at all, all had two matches last tuesday. facts man, facts. :-x

[swmodad]

The line up for Carthage was different on Thursday than it was on Tuesday. They are like many teams early on, their lineup still is not set. I was trying to make the point that they did not have 11 back from last year. I believe after seeing the results they had 3 freshmen wrestle not 2. Sorry to bother you who needs to know with the facts.

[who needs to know]

Not bothering me I think its cool to read a post anytime someone has something good to say. Nixa closed the gap this year on the head to head, one match either way but still has a way to go. Im not sure if that was Nixas final line up either but I saw no real advantage either way. Alot of negitivity on Missouri. com makes most posters paranoid to post there opions or thouhgts, who needs to know,, who cares,, its all good,, wrestle on. :D p.s. the kid from Nixa on jv. holly cow he just literally for the lack of better words squashed his opponent, around 140

[nixafan16]

you would be talking about robert.haha he is from russia and doesnt know anything but how to throw...but he is a good kid and really fun to watch

[RepublicHS]

I agree, I watched him wrestle at the Branson JV tournament, he is very strong and I made sure to watch a couple of his matches. He was a lot of fun to watch.

After the State Tourney, where does everyone rank and who will be the top teams next year?

[Scarf]

I said it before the season started, and I will say it again for next season, "Ozark it the team everyone is going to try and have to catch."

[Tiger_Coach]

Coach Jackson (and staff) has put togather a very good team (young as well) that will return several qualifiers and medalist.
Other teams (Carthage and Nixa) also continue to improve and work their way towards being in the top 10 for class 3.

Other teams have lost a little of their edge..

With the new numbers for next year the District could change quite a bit.

MSHSAA Season is over and now the REAL work (to build champions)begins.

[khsfan]

Other teams (Carthage and Nixa) also continue to improve and work their way towards being in the top 10 for class 3.

Nixa finished in the top 10 this year.

[Nineballman]

great job to Trevor, Nick and Beau and any others that I miised as well as K. Stephens and J. Martinosky from Branson
