The Iowa High School Athletic Association released seeds for the Feb. 19-22 Traditional State Tournament at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Greene County will have six wrestlers take to the mats when Class 2A begins its four days of competition. Senior Brent Dennhardt at 157 lbs. and sophomore Degan Miller at 165 won titles at the Feb. 14 Humboldt District tournament. Sophomores Brennan Jacobs (106), and Jaron Jacobs (113), along with seniors Gavyn Winters (120) and Marcus Ball (215) advance to State after second place finishes at Humboldt.

There are 24 wrestlers in each of the 14 weight classes and all are seeded 1 through 24. The eight highest seeded wrestlers have a first round bye. Every wrestler is guaranteed at least two State Tournament matches and some could wrestle as many as seven times.  The top eight finishers earn medals and will be on the podium on Saturday night, and take part in the Grand March prior to the Championship matches.

Miller is the highest seeded Ram at number 6 with Dennhardt seeded eighth, Winters 11th, Brennan Jacobs 14th, Jaron Jacobs 16th, and Ball 22nd.
