Morgan has a line up that includes 4 state finalists and 2 All Americans!!! They also have an incoming freshman in Jarett Jorgensen that will be ready to make some noise....that is the good news. The bad news is they don't have the depth that a Bear River or Juab have though and that could hurt them come state tournament time. They will need more than their big 4 if they want to crack the top 2 in state. Wrestlers such as Cragun and Belinski who were 1 match away from placing at state will need to step up their game and get on the podium.
