"We are hoping we can fill all 14 weight classes this year," Factor said. "We want to have a full team to compete in our duals. It has been a struggle for us filling all the weights. I think we will be pretty strong up through 152 pounds. After that we have a lot of unanswered questions. Overall, I think there is a real- istic chance we can be like the 2017-2018 team and get as many as five wrestlers to state." Factor sand there a "handful" of wrestlers in the mix that are capable of making it to state. "Eh Doh made it to the bubble match (winner to state, loser stays home) at districts last year," Factor said. "Junior Teriek wasn't far from it. They both are hard workers and kids who compete in three sports. Those are hard to find these days." Factor said several of the freshman newcomers have a chance to get to state as well as some of his veteran returners. In addition to the boys team, McDon- ald County has six girls out for wres- tling, not enough for a team, but who will compete on an individual basis. The Missouri State High School Activities Association held state cham- pionships for girls last year for the first time. The McDonald County girls will compete in exhibition matches through- out the year, some against other girls and possibly against some boys to prepare for the district tournament where they will compete against other girls in an attempt it qualify for the state championships. Girls out for wrestling include Mari- ana Gonzalez, Katie Bautista, Jackie Grider, Kaylee Eberley, Rocio Marti- nez-Gonzalez and KC Saimon. McDonald County opens its 2019- 2020 season on Dec. 3 in a triangular against Rogers High School and Rogers Heritage High School in Rogers, Ark. The Mustangs' first home match of the season is a triangular on Dec. 5 against Seneca and Diamond.
