Bears Regional Preview
| 112 | ||
| #1S-AJ DeLeon, Oth | vs | #4N-Taylor Orteg, Casc |
| #2N-Eddie Bush, Chel | vs | #3S-Conrad Garza, Oth |
| #2S-Scott Thompson, EV | vs | #3N-Mariano Silva, Chel |
| #1N-Nick Ruff, Casc | vs | #4S-Brandon Ashley, KB |
| Brandon faces a very tough Nick Ruff in the first round. Just how tough is he? We will find out when Brandon wrestles him. Should Brandon beat Ruff, he will face Thompson in the semis. Should he lose to Ruff, Brandon could face either Bush or Garza with a state trip on the line. | ||

| #1S-Tony Cantu, Oth | vs | #4N-Gabe Lindquist, Qui |
| #2N-Ricky Brown, Eph | vs | #3S-Ryan Corke, KB |
| #2S-Edgar Mendez, Con | vs | #3N-Drew Walter, Omak |
| #1N-Steev Turner, Cash | vs | #4S-Ignacio Castenada, Top |
| Ryan Corke will need to work his magic against Brown in the first round. It could be his best chance of moving on to state. A victory over Brown could transform into a match with Drew Walter for a chance to go to state. A loss to Brown could pit him against Mendez or Turner instead. | ||
| 130 | ||
| #1S-Ernest Guzman, Oth | vs | #4N-Jason Caryl, Omak |
| #2N-Aaron Koons, Eph | vs | #3S-Phillip Ontiveras, Oth |
| #2S-Kameron Hopkins, EV | vs | #3N-Chris Stewart, Qui |
| #1N-Zack Brissey, Eph | vs | #4S-Jerry Haug, KB |
| Jerry has a good chance of defeating Brissey in round one. That could spur him on to a state qualifying day. He will probably have to beat Koons along the way as well. Jerry is capable of this kind of performance. | ||
| 135 | ||
| #1S-JD Gomez, Oth | vs | #4N-Ethan Copple, Omak |
| #2N-Jason Escobedo, Casc | vs | #3S-Gabe Martinez, Con |
| #2S-Jess Leon, Top | vs | #3N-Mark Ouradnik, Eph |
| #1N-Tommie Lindquist, Qui | vs | #4S-Ryan Burns, KB |
| Ryan has a tough road ahead of him. That doesn't mean he can't conquer it. Lindquist will be a little rough, but after that, he is capable of beating anyone in the consolation round. | ||
| 140 | ||
| #1S-Junior Gonzalez, KB | vs | #4N-Pat Chism, Chel |
| #2N-Tate Collins, Chel | vs | #3S-Adam Orozco, Con |
| #2S-Freddie Flores, Oth | vs | #3N-Elias Longoria, Qui |
| #1N-Andrew Paton, Cash | vs | #4S-Taylor Jenks, Con |
| Junior is on his way to an undefeated season and this will be his toughest test so far. He could face Tate Collins in the semis. Collins may be the only guy that put Junior on his back this year. Andrew Paton is a mystery. If Junior keeps wrestling the way he is, then don't be surprised to see him wrestling for the state championship on the 21st. | ||
| 145 | ||
| #1S-David Rae, Con | vs | #4N-Lukas Wolf, Chel |
| #2N-Levi Parkins, Cash | vs | #3S-Tony Chapin, KB |
| #2S-Jorge Anguiano, Oth | vs | #3N-Wil Paton, Cash |
| #1N-Willy Ives, Omak | vs | #4S-Joe Frazier, Nac |
| Tony needs to beat Parkins in the first round to get things rolling on Saturday. A rematch with David Rae would be nice, especially if Tony can find a way to win it. He must wrestle smart in order to make it to state. | ||
| 160 | ||
| #1S-Josh Gomez, Oth | vs | #4N-Dan Landeck, Eph |
| #2N-Dean Agee, Omak | vs | #3S-Mike Rivera, Nac |
| #2S-Ryan Phipps, KB | vs | #3N-Josh Cate, Omak |
| #1N-Steven Smith, Casc | vs | #4S-Guillermo Rodriguez, Top |
| Ryan needs to come out strong against Josh Cate. A victory over Cate could propel him to a state qualifying position. A lose may pit him against Cate's Omak teammate, Agee, in the consolation semis. If Ryan can defeat just one Pioneer on Saturday, he could advance to state. | ||
| 171 | ||
| #1S-Tony Lee, Con | vs | #4N-Tyrel Sandelin, Casc |
| #2N-Ben Niccum, Cash | vs | #3S-Jordan Scott, EV |
| #2S-Justin Rolland, KB | vs | #3N-Ramiro Alvarez, Casc |
| #1N-Jake Walter, Omak | vs | #4S-Rudy Ochoa, Oth |
| If Rolland takes care of business against a tough Alvarez and a much heralded Jake Walter, then Lee-Rolland V will take place. A horrible start to the District final put Justin in a hole that he could not recover from against Lee. This week it could be different. | ||
| 275 | ||
| #1S-Ross McDorman, KB | vs | #4N-James Peery, Cash |
| #2N-Chris Hodge, Chel | vs | #3S-Kyle Fay, EV |
| #2S-Adam Brown, Top | vs | #3N-Clinton Meachum, Casc |
| #1N-Jake Byl, Omak | vs | #4S-Daniel Osorio, Top |
| There is not much standing in the way of a McDorman-Byl final. Ross did well against defending state champ Nick Berry of Vashon. Now we should find out how he does against Byl. Ross pinned Peery at regionals last year. | ||
