GREELEY — When the draw was made to start Thursday's festivities at 126 pounds, it guaranteed the Northern Conference dual between Thompson Valley and Greeley Central — teams ranked in the top four in 4A — was going to get off to a stellar start.
The first three matches of the evening featured five ranked wrestlers, beginning with No. 2 Vlad Kazakov vs. No. 4 Zeke Alirez in the opening affair as the host Wildcats, ranked No. 2, dropped the spotlight on the match.
And the hosts took center stage.
