Team Preview for 2001/2002
The following 40+ teams were selected for one of the following three reasons: 1. They wrestle Medford this season. 2. They are in our top 10 Class A team ranking. 3. They were selected because they are from Southern Minnesota.
Adrian Class A Section IV Head Coach: Gregg Nelson/Pat Dorn 2000/01 Record: 25-3-0 Enrollment: 158 Adrian, wrestling in arguably the toughest section in the state, will be one of the top teams in Class A. The Dragons appear to be able to fill nicely the weights vacated by graduation, and have quality wrestlers at every weight. The only possible weakness is the lack of a real stopper in the middleweights. Adrian should start fast and finish strong, so look out Dragons or get squished. 00/01 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.

Alden-Conger Class A Section II Head Coach: Rick Loock 2000/01 Record: *-*-* Enrollment: 121 Alden-Conger is short on number, which will make it hard top get over .500.

Apple Valley Class AAA Section VI (2001 Class AAA State Champions) Head Coach: Jim Jackson 2000/01 Record: 37-1-0 Enrollment: 1727 This may be the best team the Eagles have ever assembled, and is definitely the best team in the state team. For most teams it will be a major victory to score on the Eagles, as they have outstanding returning talent and highly touted lightweights (Fesslers) looking to enter the lineup. 01/02 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.

Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale Class A Section VII (2001 Class A State Runner-up) Head Coach: Steve Techam 2000/01 Record: 17-1-1 Enrollment: 246 With the nucleus back for Bertha-Hewitt will again be one of the top teams in Class A. The Bears, much like Adrian, should start fast and finish strong. The disadvantage for the Bears is they do not wrestle as high a quality competition on a weekly basis. 00/01 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.

Blooming Prairie Class A Section II Head Coach: Tom Vaith/Dave Pfiefer 2000/01 Record: *-*-* Enrollment: 223 Blooming Prairie is short on numbers and with the graduation of six starters will need to find some help to fill the lineup. All of the Blossoms returning starters should be over .500 this season, that alone will help the cause.

Cannon Falls Class AA Section I Head Coach: Dudley Flodeen 2000/01 Record: 10-9-0 Enrollment: 375 Building on a better than .500 record and graduating only one starter, the Bombers could have one of the best seasons in school history. With a great deal talent in the lower weights expect them to start fast, but the Bombers must find some help in the upper weights, or they will be forced to live on the success of the lightweights. 00/01 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.

Chatfield Class A Section I Head Coach: Joel Viss 2000/01 Record: 14-3-0 Enrollment: 224 The Gophers will be very tough in the heavier weights but need to fill some spots on the lower end. Expect Priebe and Proper to push for State titles. Chatfield will be one of the top teams in Section I, and if you underestimate this team, they could end your season. 00/01 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.

Faribault Class AAA Section I Head Coach: Jesse Ambruster 2000/01 Record: *-*-* Enrollment: 1016 Faribault will be very tough in the heavier weights but must find replacements for a large group of graduates.

Frazee Class A Section VIII (2001 Class A State 3rd place) Head Coach: Clay Nagel 2000/01 Record: 11-1-0 Enrollment: 295 Clay has the best Class A program in the State. Year in and year out they have a dominant team, and this year is no exception. Even without 5X State Champion Matt Nagel they are a top 5 team. A frightening detail is their youth; with only 2 seniors this team will only get better. 00/01 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.

Goodhue Class A Section I (2001 Class A State Champions) Head Coach: Bill Sutter 2000/01 Record: 31-7-0 Enrollment: 140 Goodhue ought to be considered the Class A favorite. Coach Sutter, his coaching staff and wrestlers are a class program and everyone associated with this program should be proud of the defending State Champion.

Vaith 2000/01 Record: 22-3-0 Enrollment: 1380 The Raiders will be without the core of last seasons lineup, but I would hesitate to call this a rebuilding year. Coach Vaith is possibly the best match-up coach in the state, therefore expect the Raiders to be back in the hunt for a state tournament birth. 00/01 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.

Waterville Class A Section II Head Coach: Jeff Boran 2000/01 Record: *-*-* Enrollment: 232 Waterville has the potential to be one of the best teams in the state. They will be very tough from about 119# to 145#. The Buccaneers have quality replacements to fill the spots vacated by graduates. They have solid wrestlers up and down the lineup, but will need a couple of wrestlers to step up and have an outstanding year to improve the team record. No Class A team in the state should overlook Waterville, as they can compete with any Class A team. 00/01 Name (01/02 Yr.) 00/01 Rec.
