Head wrestling coach Nathan Smith had the following comments on the upcoming tournament. "Norton, Scott City, Hoxie and Goodland all have strong tournament teams. We have some kids wrestling well at the right time. Our records don't do our kids justice because we put our kids our against the best competition we can find and we struggled early with our inexperience but have made strides through the season. We have some kids that could surprise some people this weekend."
Good luck, Indians!
