Sorry this preview is so late. I have been waiting for the
North results and finally got them yesterday, thanks to Hallie
Tuck.

| Avila and Limbeck will most likely meet in the semi's
for a shootout. Zabreznik should breeze through his
competition to the finals. Sergio is a prime time
wrestler, but Zabreznik is a state champion. Limbeck
finished third at state last year. I will pick Sergio,
but of course I am biased. These three should finish in
the top 5 at state. |

| Ortiz and Schutte have met in their last two district
championships and in last years regionals. Ortiz has won
them all. Schutte usually starts out strong, but Ortiz
always comes up with big points in their matches to win.
Jesus Sandoval will need to get by Schutte to meet Ortiz
in the finals. Don't count out Adam Logozzo and Richie
Herrera. |

| Another title for Martin Mitchell. The only question
is will he get three pins or not. Rudy Garza will
probably give him a good match in the finals, but
Mitchell is rolling towards his third state title. |

| Ale DeLaPena should make quick work of his foes,
while Stephens will get a good fight from Mendez. A
championship match with Stephens would be a good warmup
for Ale as he goes for state title number three.
Actually, Stephens and Ale may be the State title
matchup. |

| Anyone of 5 wrestlers could rise to the occasion and
win the regional title. All five have the possibility of
finishing in the to 8 at state. Those five are Avalos,
Mendez, Rodriguez, Hargrove and Hafer. Avalos and
Rodriguez pulled off the upsets last weekend, but this
weekend could be a different story. McGuffin and Herrera
could be two of the best wrestlers in the state that will
not be going to the state tournament. |

| Josh Thompson got a scare from Villarreal at
districts and the same type of match should be expected
between the two at regionals. Ben Dronen will continue to
roll on to state. I just know that Josh Corke can pull of
an upset or two, but again I am biased. |

| I think Eli Super will put it all together at
regionals and get back on top of this weightclass. He
will meet Hutchinson in the semis. Escobedo should have
an easier route to the finals, but a stiff challenge will
come from Jensen. |

| Newton vs. Logozzo will be a nice matchup for the
finals. This will be the guy for Logozzo to beat if he
has aspirations for a state title this year. Jesse
DeLaPena saves his best for regionals and Adam Davis is
going to pull off an upset somewhere along the line. |

| Call and Garza will be a barnburner. Call finished
3rd at state last year and Claudio Garza finished fourth.
Both will be looking to get to the finals at state. They
will be looking to put the hurt on each other in the
regional finals. With the year he has had, Brady Gariano
is destined to make it to state. |

| Tuck, Yedinak and Bacon will be top contenders at the
state meet. Tuck should come out on top at regionals.
James and Risenmay are good enough to upset one of the
top three. |

other. Mejia will beat Critchlow this time. |

| Isley will not get a big head because of the Tri-City
herald article this week. Isley looked better than he has
ever looked last week at district. It will again be Isley
time at regionals. Price and Cain will try to end Isley
time. |

| Nathan Zuniga, Jason Greene and Bobby Canales are
about even. Gomez and Allen are top notch wrestlers as
well. Any of the five could make it to the finals. Most
likely Zuniga and Greene. |

| Owens and Teeter will definitely meet inb the finals.
Who will win? I don't know. I will go with Teeter. Can
Michael Zuniga continue his wrestling turnaround and make
it to state. I am going with the surprise of the
tournament and picking Zuniga to finish 5th. |
