Come on. Let's be rational. Now its a weak field??? Last year So and So was here and the year before XYZ HS was here. Blah Blah Blah. Go Away.

Before the tourney we read on message boards where Eric Grajales and his teammates would get a new experience in wrestling! Not a chance.
Duck competition? Please! Come look us up at FILA Cadets, FILA Juniors, Fargo, Super 32, Beast, Ironman, NHSCA and/or any of the other tournaments Brandon has entered. What tournament has YOUR school entered let alone won and who funds the trips? In the last ten years I have seen and heard many (brave - NOT) coaches challenge Brandon to come to their gym but have seen VERY FEW willing to actually wrestle Brandon. Funny how that works.
Thanks Cheesehead for hosting us - we had a great time!

well said, its still our cheesehead although this is the weakest team entrants for quite a while GOOD JOB

having read the arguements below im still impressed with brandons wrestlers today, no it wasnt that loaded of a tournament, and i agree with the one guys comment that cozart ducks anyone who he thinks he cant beat but hey give em credit

How do they duck competition

Lets see they had a tournament in Fl everyone could come to and no one came?
They travel all over and including Fargo! Plus 4 of them will be moving on to D1 next year! How many does your school have this year?

Montini Just knocked of St. Ed's in a Dual at the Clash...Wausau is hardly weak...Just give the team some credit, who gives a rip if they don't go to Ironman or The Beast. You don't think the kids know that those tournaments exist? Let it rest man...They got 7 in the finals to Montini's 5....maybe just wait and see how they do in college or not what's the difference? Were talking about a team of 14-17 yr old boys right??? Not a pro sport that you are making bets on!

hows the 285lber from montini doing?

Brandon could have 2 Playboy bunnies wiping the mats between matches and you guys could find something to complaing about.

Springtom

their record is suspect and most of america knows that its bogus, cause of the ducking, but come on give the kids a break!!!

i agree, they do tend to skip the tough ones, no denying they have some [some] tough kids though

like i said they always skip the toughest tournaments and go only to the ones they think they can win, this field is soooo weak

Wow,Brandon is SOOOOO bad,NOT.Up to this point they have only 3 wrestles who have lost at the cheesehead. The Brandon Eagles are the REAL DEAL!!!!!!!

wheres the site for results?

springtom if youve wrestled and followed wrestling like i have ,you would know that brandon consistantly ducks any comp they feel they dont have a chance at ! check your history and know your facts

right on spring tom at least wait til after the tourney...maybe they had a busy schedule... wonder what it would take to have a team dual nationals folkstyle..hmmmm

Kevia, what other teams didn't go to Beast, ironman and the clash, but are showing up for Cheesehead? Are they duckers too?

All this Brandon ragging is getting old. Let them show up before you talk bad about them. Maybe they might impress you. Maybe they won't. Let em shake hands and go at.

p.s. I'm getting tired of all the internet tough guys in cyber space.

This is the All-Americans from last year. Add the other five that placed the year befor. Thats not a bad showing for a twenty team tournament.
Also three teams are nationaly ranked Brandon,Montini and Wausau West. The others are all state ranked in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Past team champions
St.Eds OH
Apple Valley MN
Mater Die IN
Motini IL
Wisconsin Rapids WI
Kaukauna WI
Wausau West WI

I bet Brandon wont have any more then two champions

yeah its funny how they ducked the clash ,ironman, and beast and come to a not so stacked this year tourney, when are you guys gonna learn
