About the Field
Each of the eight Hoosier Crossroads Conference members will wrestle this weekend at Noblesville. Brownsburg (No.3), Avon (No.18) and Westfield (No.19) are the only HCC teams that are featured in the latest IndianaMat.com Overall Team rankings. Fishers, Franklin Central, Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville will also wrestle this weekend.
Brownsburg boasts the most ranked wrestlers of any team in the conference. Nine Bulldogs are featured in this week's IndianaMat Individual State Rankings. No other HCC team has more than four ranked wrestlers heading into the weekend. Avon (4) has the second most. Noblesville is the only HCC without a ranked wrestler.
There is potential for several top-five bouts later in the tournament if the results for this weekend match the IndianaMat rankings. The bookends of the weight classes may be the strongest of the field heading into the tournament. At 106, Brownsburg's Logan Miller (No.1) and Avon's Cheaney Schoeff (No.4) could meet in the final. There are three top-ten wrestlers at 285 as Brownsburg's Dorian Keys (No.1), Hamilton Southeastern's Andrew Irick (No.2) and Franklin Central's Antone Alexander (No.9) are all in the field.
