DES MOINES — There’s been a change of plans for Broedy Hendricks.

Or better yet, a change in demeanor.

The top-ranked 190-pound Humboldt junior is headed to Des Moines with a state championship on his mind.

During his freshman campaign, Hendricks reached the championship round before coming up short. He then finished fourth last season.

“It means a lot to be back for the third run at a title,” said Hendricks who is 141-9 in his career. “This year is different — I’m going with a purpose.

“I’m going to dominate.”

Hendricks (50-1), the second seed in Class 2A, has been impressive all season, losing only one match — to top-seed Maximus Purdy (31-3) of Davenport Assumption.

It won’t be a solo trip for the Wildcat senior, as he will be joined by seven teammates.

“Taking multiple kids this year is huge,” Hendricks said. “It has to be the year where we have made the most improvements (as a squad).

“It’s been the attitude coming into practice just to get better, no matter how you feel. Push the pace, sharpen your tools, and just go out there and scrap — you don’t have anything to worry about.”

Junior Jaxson Kirchhoff (37-17) is making his return to state after missing last season. Kirchhoff, who is 107-47 in his career, is the 17th seed at 150 and will take on No. 16 Kiptyn Lawrence (39-20) of Lipton.

Senior Jonny Hayden (28-24) is the 23rd seed and has Caiden Latch (39-4) of Roland-Story at 138 pounds.

No. 18 sophomore Braden Downs (41-14) will face No. 15 Gavin Gerbracht (41-6) of Dike-New Hartford at 157 pounds.

Classmate Henry Kramer (31-29) is the 24 seed, and will meet ninth-seeded Jon Gonzalez (38-4) of West Marshall at 126.

No. 24 seed Caleb Vinsand (30-20), a sophomore, has No. 9 Hayden Roush (47-5) of Shenandoah in the first round at 144.

Freshmen Karson Reinhardt (37-14) and Tate Halverson (36-20) reached Des Moines in the their first season.

Reinhardt (132) is the 18th seed and has No. 15 Hayden Albaugh (41-12) of Williamsburg.

Halverson (36-20) is 23rd at 175 and squares off with No. 10 Nile Lundvall (43-10) of Glenwood.

Southeast Valley

Jaguar sophomore Wyatt Blair (46-6) just missed last year’s state tournament with a third-place finish at districts.

Now, the 120-pounder will get his first shot at a state medal.

Blair is 87-14 in two seasons and is the 17 seed. He’ll face No. 16 Stratton Luke (28-7) of LaPorte City Union in the opener.

“I’ve been in wrestling since kindergarten, but didn’t get serious until eighth grade,” Blair said. “I started because of my dad and I thought it was cool.

“Getting to state means a lot because I’ve put a ton of time into getting to where I am at now.”

Eagle Grove

The Eagles will enter state week with a bevvy of experience.

Senior Hayden Schafer (157) is back for the third time and coming off an eighth-place finish. Schafer (28-6), the nine seed, is 136-54 in his career. He first meets No. 24 Jose Vilia (35-25) of Creston.

Classmate Jayden Kreitlow (190) is also a three-time qualifier who is 119-77. Kreitlow (45-12) is the 16 and has No. 17 Jacob Aust (5-7) of Glenwood first.

Junior Dylan Terwilliger (41-12) qualified as a freshman and is back at 126. Terwilliger is the 17th seed, and has Cale Johnson (9-1) of Central DeWitt.

Junior Hunter Waldo Martinez (37-15) is the 21 seed and will face No. 12 Brody Strother (24-11) of Hampton-Dumont-CAL.
