Miller/Highmore-Harrold’s Kellan Hurd is a two-time defending Class B champion but it was two losses earlier this season that toppled the season from the top ranking at 144. 

Hurd lost to Bennett County’s Gavin Risse on a last-second takedown then dropped an 11-1 decision to Winner’s Ryken Orel. Hurd avenged that loss to Orel in the finals of the Big Dakota Conference tournament and entered region action as the No. 1 ranked wrestlers at 144. 

Canton tops the week 10 Dakota Grappler poll as the C-Hawks are projected to score 180 points, ahead of Winner (123) and Philip/Kadoka Area/Wall (117). Kimball/White Lake/Platte-Geddes (115) and Bon Homme/Avon (87) are expected to be the top five Class B teams.
