3. Evan Smith - Chadwick

2. Chase Ratliff - Weaubleau

1. Easton Sabala - Hermitage

Sabala has been tearing it up all year and it appears that Saturday is his to lose. Chase Ratliff and Evan Smith will battle for 2nd with Ratliff getting a slight edge, but Smith could be a good bet to pull away for 2nd. After them, Fessler, Rethemeyer, and Schultz, with Lowry and Hinrichs close behind, will all be battling to the line for those next 5 spots. Class 1 is fairly deep this year and should be an interesting race to watch. 

Teams.

5. Fair Play (145)

4. Liberal (127)

3. Lutheran Kansas City (123)

2. Hermitage (110)

1. New Haven (100)

New Haven and Hermitage are too close to call at this moment. Both teams have strong front-runners, but it will come down to their 4 and 5 men. Hermitage's 2-5 is a little tighter than New Haven's, but we have New Haven taking it by a nose. Lutheran Kansas City are poised to duke it out for 3rd with Liberal, but with 2 in the top 10, Lutheran KC should be able to overcome their back-end question marks to grab 3rd. Fair Play is 5th with Oak Ridge a distant 6th with Weaubleau, Wheaton, and West Platte.
