If we just had kids to fill the vacant weights, we'd be in good shape, Sheffer said. With two returning state champions, Laney Johnson, and Bill Manhard and most of the rest of the squad with at least one year at varsity var-sity wrestlig under their belt, the Tigers don't lose many individual matches. But the absence of wrest -lers at 98-112 and 119 pounds hurts. That's why the Tigers lose most of the league matches, and do so well In the tournaments. We are spotting other teams 18 points right from the start. Sheffer expects both Johnson John-son and Manhard to repeat as state champions, and Reagan Puffer, Matt Pearson, Pear-son, David White and Scott Manhard definitely have a chance at their division crowns.
