Feb. 14—When and where: Thursday-Saturday at Ball Arena.

The scouting report: Legacy senior Quinn Funk and Mead’s team are expected to bring back some hardware from the state tournament at Ball Arena, which starts with Thursday’s opening rounds, and ends after Saturday night’s championship matches.

Nobody — and this isn’t a hyperbole — has been better than Funk in the state this winter. He’s been even more dominant than last season when he won the Class 5A 190-pound title and became the first of his five grappling brothers to win gold, breaking what they called the “Funk Curse.”

A curse now in reverse, the senior, who is now at 215s, remained undefeated on the year, winning 5A Region 3. He scored two pins before beating Fairview’s Sam Benton in the finals.

Listed at 41-0 on the year, he goes up against Pine Creek’s Matthew Geri in Thursday’s first round.

Wrestling: Legacy crowns two regional champions

As for the Mavericks, the expectation from the inside and out is for them to make a run at the 4A team title.

On The Mat — the site ranking the state’s wrestlers and teams — has had Windsor and Mead as the top two teams in the classification since the start of the season.

Last weekend, the Mavericks had six regional champs and qualified 11 to Ball Arena. Otto Black (138s) and Leister Bowling IV (175s) are favorites to win their first state title for them. Jake Glade (150s) and Dalton Berg (190s) will look to repeat after winning gold a year ago.
