Kearney Matcat Tournament

First and foremost, a huge shoutout to the Kearney Matcats.  They ran a massive tournament.  It was 14 mats.  Every single match was on a full mat.  It ran quickly and smoothly.  Well done Matcats!  I think they had most people home for the big game which was a huge plus!

As for the action… oh my!  There were 196 Roxa Rated wrestlers that placed; not counting those that didn’t.  Some brackets were upwards of 30 wrestlers.  Teams from Kansas came up and joined the action as well.  All in all it was a fantastic barometer for where things stand.

I would love to dive into so many of these brackets here but it’s just not feasible.  We’ll just let you take a look at placements and see for yourself.  Below is a list of all Roxa Rated wrestlers that placed in the tournament:
