Jay County Sectional Preview

Jay County Sectional Preview

by Brandon Razo

The Bellmont Braves come rolling in looking for their 19th straight sectional title this Saturday at Jay County High School.  They are definitely the clear cut favorite to win the team title and look to advance many individuals into the post season.  But like always the teams of Adams County and Wells County will be bringing in some strong individuals making this a very competitive sectional.  112 looks to be a battle as you could take the top four seeds, put their names in a hat and draw out the winner. 171 looks to be the most competitive weight class of the sectional with five very tough wrestlers.
