Evansville again lost 4 seniors and a lot of team points. Can they maintain their dominance. Or can a team like Jefferson or whitewater dethrone them. East Troy will have a lot of good lighter weight wrestles, can they put together a full team?
2023 Rock Valley Conference scores:
1 Evansville 254.0
2 Whitewater 188.0
3 Clinton 166.0
4 Turner 158.0
5 Edgerton 138.0
6 Brodhead/Juda 113.0
7 Bigfoot/Williams Bay 87.0
8 East Troy 85.5
9 Jefferson 66.0
Based on this East Troy and Jefferson have some work to do. East Troy will be in the pack with transfers and school choice. Whitewater, Clinton and Turner could also make a run. I'm not aware of what other schools lost to graduation.
I know Jefferson has good numbers, eventually that should produce a solid team. The rock valley would just be that much more fun if it was a 3 or 4 team race every year. Hopefully teams can get their numbers back up and make the conference a little more competitive. 20 years ago every team had a few studs and most teams had full lineups and it was a very competitive conference.
Returning Rock Valley Conference sectional/state qualifiers - it should be a fun year! Hopefully I didn't miss anyone.

RVCcoach - you are correct. Sorry, I knew would miss someone. Hope their aren't any other's.
Any predictions on wrestlers that are gonna make a nice jump? Any incoming freshman that we should know about? I know Brodhead's Joe Lohmar put in a ton of work this summer. Really looking forward to watching his senior season.

Lohmar was teched by Danny Heiser in the duel against Evansville...
Correct me if I'm wrong but the tech came about 30 seconds into the 2nd period. :o WOW!!

That is correct. Heiser owns wins over both the Division 1 and Division 3 #1 wrestlers per wigrappler rankings.

Danny Heiser is on a hole other level. That's why he's going to Missouri with a scholarship. I just know Lohmar put in a lot of work and I think he will make the podium this year. It's nice to see rock valley kids have success, I'd like to see this conference get back to where it was 10-15 years again.
Prediction's for this weekends RVC tournament?

Unfortunately I didn't log in on time to get my conference predictions in. Evansville dominated conference and I think everyone knew that was going to happen. Not many surprises there in my opinion other then Bogard of East Troy getting upset by Voegli of Monroe. Lets move on and talk regionals, you have the conference split into two different regionals. The group that is in sectional d has a less daunting task then there conference mates that attend sectional c. Sectional C regional II can defiantly make a argument for one of the toughest in the state. This regional could be holding half or more of the D2 state champs/finalists. Its not just top heavy either, I believe you will see a ton of state place winners and qualifiers come out of this region. Many tough teams and tough individuals. I could see a team like Evansville taking as low as 6th place if they don't come ready to go. Now I don't think that will happen as they looked sharp at conference but you have to ready to go from the first whistle. Cant wait for the action to kick off this Saturday, good luck to all the wrestlers

How many RVC kids advance to Sectionals from each regional?
My guess for the Regional II @ Dodgeville is roughly a dozen kids from the RVC will advance to Sectionals. Most of the qualifiers will come from Evansville. I think both Brodhead and Monroe can punch a few kids through as well. Like I previously stated I believe this to be one of the toughest D2 super regionals out there.
Now when it comes to regional II @ Clinton that would take some serious research, its so wide open and unknown its hard to make a guess. I'm just going to throw a number out there and see where it lands after this weekends results are posted on track. I'll say 30+ kids and I honestly feel like it could 40 kids. There are more RVC teams going to that regional and I feel the competition is not quite at the same level as the regional in Dodgeville.
Those are my thoughts, once again good luck to all the wrestlers competing.

I counted 12 RVC wrestlers moved on from the Dodgeville regional and 35 RVC wrestlers moved on from the Clinton regional.
IMHO one regional definitely had a higher level of competition than the other! However, more conference wrestlers advancing than fewer is better.
Good luck to Whitewater @ team sectional tonight.
Any prediction's for individual qualifiers from the RVC? Looks like we have 47 kids that have an opportunity to qualify.
I think Evansville could get 4 into state, Brodhead should get both McIntrye and Lohmar in. Menehen of Monroe is in a loaded 132 bracket, gonna be tough. Over at the other sectional I think east troy will have at least 3 go with Bogard, Collins and Gonzalez. I think Whitewater will send a couple for sure. That Sectional is defiantly wide open so they all have a chance IMO.
