I don't want to bash any kids that started this year. But.. Bedford will definately will not have the amount of top end talent they did this year. However I feel there were 4, 8th graders that could have beat out kids that STARTED on this years undefeated team. Bedford only had depth right where Claycomb and Keister were. They had no depth other then that and had quite a few sub par starters. Their five top kids always won in dual meets and they found ways to get matchups for a few other wins in the tight matches.

I said I agreed that NBC was the favorite to win this matchup. But outside of Toutman, 189 pound Sollenberger and Suter who is unbeatable on NBC's team for Bedford. It's a year away. Just saying it will be closer then alot of people think.

Although Bedford will be "down" in some of their weights, they have tradition... I would disagree with northern bedford taking D-5 next year ( at least at the in dividual tournament). I think one team that is being overlooked in North Star. They are riddled with freshman that will do very well next season. Somerset is a threat due to their relatively unknown lineup, yes they lost Lohr and some others, they will be tough. Conemaugh only lost two kids. Meyersdale only graduated one: they are a sleeper as well. Berlin is questionable in the individual tournament but I am expecting them to do relatively well in the dual meet portion of the season. Tussey, to be honest I am never sure what they have/dont have until post season. Chestnut Ridge will be in the top 4 at the D5 tournament, lots of youth on that team. IMO.
