The Jackson County Central wrestling team is on the hunt for the state championship again this year. 

Huskies head coach Nate Hanson says they like beginning the bracket as the third seed against LeSueur-Henderson. 

COACH INTERVIEW 

The fourth-ranked Huskies are making their fifth straight appearance after dominating the section tournament. JCC took home fourth place last year but claimed back-to-back Class A titles before that. 

The Huskies are seeking the 10th team championship in the 18th state appearance from Jackson County. 

Our coverage on Xtreme begins at around 8:45 on Thursday with the quarterfinal match starting at 9:00 a.m. inside the XCel Energy Center. 

Section 7A champion and #2 seed Staples-Motley will start against Section 8A champion United North Central on JCC’s side of the bracket. 

The top seed is defending state champion Chatfield from Section 1A with Section 6A champ West Central Area/Ashby/Brandon-Evansville as their first opponent. 

Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial is the #4 seed and Section 2A champion with their tournament starting against #5 seed and Section 5A champ Canby. 

Consolation duals begin after the quarterfinal round and then the semifinals happen at 1:00 p.m. featuring the quarterfinal winners. The duals for Third Place and the Consolation championship begin at 5:00 p.m. with the Championship dual at 7:00 p.m. that same Thursday.  

We will have every JCC match live on Xtreme.
