What BRC conference wrestlers do we have coming back?
Which kid is turning a corner or making an impact?
What team is going to contend for the BRC title?
What incoming FR are going to make a statement this year?
Chippewa lost 8 seniors from last season.
Of the returning 7 Jr's from last season only two Hedrington and Solberg saw significant mat time on varsity.
Weyandt might be the only Junior this year that seen any mat time last year with Ponick returning to Stanley.
They will be sophomore heavy with 10 I can think of off top of my head returning.
Not sure but I can think of 3 or 4 incoming freshman. As usual health and weights will be huge.
Ask again in Feb and I'll nail every question.
I certainly hope that Grant doesn't stop posting just because he is no longer coaching. He always did a nice job keeping us informed of the Mustangs power. I am sure he still has close ties and an insight to the program. His candor, honesty, and openness was a breath of fresh air on this forum.
Grant not posting combined with Pheasants son graduating, puts a lot of pressure on Mustang fan to keep us informed of Menomonie's progress. Maybe Wildhorse will step up his game and Juicy Lucy can come creeping back from the nightmare that was last year.
Menomonie will definitely be on a rebuilding year. Lots of youth! 5 seniors graduated and 1 transfer. New coach so hopefully everyone that wrestled last year will come out again! Grant will surely be missed! I'm giving a slight edge to EC North for the conference title, but Hudson will definitely be there to take it if they falter! My son has graduated, but I plan to support Menomonie as often as I can! It will probably be a little quieter in the stands this year!😀
Good luck Big Rivers competitors!
Pheasant who transferred?
Brock Schlough to Boyceville. Don't do that to these guys buddy!
Great wrestler. Better person. Brock has been in Boyceville for a few years now I wouldn't consider him a transfer.
Pheasant-
5 seniors graduating does not make Menomonie a re-building team. I like your style though! I see what you did there ;D
You do realize that Hudson also graduated 5 and EC North graduated 4 (and never entered a 160 at Regionals) so that equals 5 also.
So based on that, the title is River Falls' to lose!
I was informed that the transfer I was referring to did not transfer! He just didn't play football this year! We have a couple of studs on our team, but a lot of youth will be asked to step up. Good luck to all and hopefully we have a competitive conference one more time! Look forward to seeing all of you this year!
Mustang Fan does not have a horse in the race anymore in Menomonie but does have a son with a sight disability that has a true passion for the sport that he can't compete in. Over the years his fellow teammates has wrestled him in home meets and made him feel pretty special. As far as our team goes....the new head coach will have allot to do with their success. They have allot of potential to be successful this season. My heart will always be in wrestling and we will continue to support this team for years to come. :)

Hudson should run away with the conference. Should be ranked in the top five in D1. With a couple good freshmen and a good showing at JV conference, they should be able to cover any possible holes.

Hmmm...... Somethings rotten in Denmark. Wildhorse, the facts don't check out. Menomonie was the best team last year and they will be again this year. What we learned is the best team doesn't always win.
Can I ask why Schindler is a stud but the guy who beat him (Nuutinen) is not? Or why McDevitt is a stud but the guy who beat him (Freeland) is not? Kadlec is a sectional place-winner but does not make the list? Jesse James has multiple trips to youth state and the only thing that has held him back, until now, is such a tough line-up and he doesn't make the list even as a Senior? You do know that Menomonie had 4 JV
state place-winners, right? Correct that they can't be considered "studs" but that simply has a "yet" behind it.
Hudson reached the final 4 last year but had Menomonie won the the regional, they would have reached the final 4.
Hudson may win but can't be considered a favorite and they certainly won't run away with anything.
Which do you prefer? Sandbagging or Laying in the Weeds?
Man I love following the Big Rivers conf, you guys go at it. LOL
Hudson is the favorite, not only in the conf, I think this year they maybe have a chance to knock off Kaukana and make the finals at team state.
I agree. Hudson just reloads. Every so often a team comes and makes a run but Hudson is just so consistent year in and year out.
Nice to be a winner..here is some news for you..the 4 wrestlers you mentioned in your post are not wrestling this season for Menomonie and that's all I'm going to say about that. If they were, Wildhorse would have mentioned them as Returning Studs along with our other ones. Menomonie will have a tough year just in duel meets. I'm anxious to see what the new coach brings to the mat...we may see some different things this season. As far as Sandbagging or lying in the weeds....I don't see any of that in Wildhorses post 8)
Rice Lake just hired a new coach.
Now we are getting somewhere :)
Rice Lake hired Jeremy Musil.
I love the BRC! The wrestlers and the fans always show passion. Hudson should be solid thru and thru, EC North will be good too. Sad to hear the possiblity of a few wrestlers in Menomonie not being around. Hopefully some come back.
I'm glad to hear Rice Lake has a coach now. Does anyone know if Jake Roberts will compete this year?

Asked Jake last night at our football banquet and he wasn't sure yet.
Rice Lake has some strong returning upper classman (Brohde Aspseter JR 120, Cole Paulson SR 138, Chase Schmidt JR 145, Jake Bugella JR 220, Brandon Peterson SO 182) with 4 or 5 good freshman coming in (Marquez Clerveaux, Malichi Hill, Carter Waite, Callub Paulson). If they could get all the kids that quit from the past few years they would be very competitive. It is really too bad since they had a great nucleus as little as 2 years ago. Luke Schroeder, Dylan Roberts, Austin Piecuch, Luke Fleming, Logan Hile, etc. all stopped wrestling. Many of those young men went to youth state and Luke Schroeder went to State in high school.
My son wrestled three of those kids. Aspseter, Paulson, and Schroeder. All three are very respectable! They will be a strong team if Jake wrestles and everyone stays healthy. Lots of injuries and illnesses really hurt them last year I remember!
I don't think it will be close in the BRC. I really don't...Hudson has really filled some spots...

Thanks. A lot of falls in that meet - suggests a fair amount of inequity. Are Menomonie's cupboards that bare that quickly or is RF just that tough?
Menomonie was missing 5 significant wrestlers that I can think of for whatever reason I don't know. Take nothing away from RF they are tough .I think they are top 2 or 3 in BRC.
