The Harlan High School boys wrestling team will be facing several familiar opponents from the Hawkeye Ten Conference at the 2A District tournament this Saturday in Glenwood, Iowa. The Cyclones will be without 157-pounder Brody Bendorf, who recently had surgery on his left hip, but Head Coach Adam Bendorf remains optimistic about his team's prospects, including standout junior Chayton Snethen and 190-pounder Jaden Stephens, who is dropping down to 175 pounds for the tournament.
Why it matters

Chayton Snethen, a 37-4 junior, will look to avenge two losses to Trojans wrestler Jayden Harter earlier this season. Jaden Stephens, 28-11 at 190 pounds, is dropping down to 175 for the tournament. Other Harlan wrestlers to watch include Nathan Sandquist (20-16 at 138), Coy Obrecht (25-22 at 144), and Jaspyr Nielsen (18-15 at 285).
