Nixa coach Dustin Martin has emphasized to the Eaglesâ and Lady Eaglesâ eight state qualifiers not to underestimate any opponent at this weekâs Class 4 State Wrestling Championships.Â
Action was due to get under way on Tuesday with the girls. The Class 4 boys brackets will play out on Saturday.
âWe tried to reach out and collect as much information (on opponents) as we can and there is no easy bracket,â Martin said. âA lot of times kids hope theyâll be on the good quarter or good half of the bracket. But most of the weight classes are loaded with talent, so that there is no easy way to get to the final. Every one of our guys and girls have tough opponents along the way.â
