HeadLockChamp9 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 How does Paul Konrath stack up had he wrestled this year as a HS Senior? On the same note, does anyone make Nick Lee break a sweat? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWFTKWC11 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The first question about Paul is what weight would he wrestle ? I'm going to assume he laid off the hostess cakes and cheeseburgers and could make 126/132. Which in that case I think he'd plow through 126. 132 is a different story. He has recently been pounded by Bailey if i'm not mistaken and for Reitz, well that story has already been written. Let's say he didn't lay off the hostess cakes and cheeseburgers. He could make a run at 138. If i'm not mistaken back when Egli was still around he beat Black. Paul beat Egli, Egli Beat Black.....Paul beats Black. So in conclusion I think he'd be a possible champ at 126 or 138 (assuming he's put some muscle on). backtothemat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navy80 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Add in Stevenson who moved to Minnesota... HWT Egli from Mater Dei Lane kid who moved to Florida... Champagine (sp?) who is in Illinois Konrath would be top 2 at 126, 132, 138 Lee would probably win from 138 to 195 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. Alan Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Bailey won in overtime against Konrath...not exactly a pounding. I think he got the better of him twice this past fall. GFC and Super 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2456 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It wasn't a pounding. Bailey beat him 3-1 at gfc then in overtime at super 32. So it would be another great match if it were under the lights or at state. I think Konrath is 2 or 3 points better than reitz. We are talking about a Fargo champ/runner up vs someone who hasn't placed at a major national tournament his whole hs career. Bailey creates a weird style match up for Konrath, but I believe reitz cannot stop Konrath on his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfangms Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 True, but the inverse of that is that you have two kids who have wrestled and Reitz won, so despite the national success of Konrath, the fact that the match has happened and Reitz won would leave me inclined to say he is at least one point better than Konrath. tangarrray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both after not having wrestled in their HS seasons. Granted it wasn't the deepest field, but I didn't realize that Egli had wrestled at all. Makes you wonder why an attempt to come back and wrestle this year wasn't in the cards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, but the getting better goes both ways. You're right we can have differing opinions, mine just has a win to support it tangarrray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig40 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Also the Mt Carmel kids Drousias at 106 Uribe at 120 Guzior 126 Hirschfield 182 from Sandburg Last 2 could have made LC much better. indianmorg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad that so many of these beast are not wrestling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathewsz7 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 What about Jake Tucker?? He & Drew Hughes were wrestling partners their whole lives, I'd have to think he would have at least won 1 state title had he stayed in Indiana, definitely would have been a multiple time medalist...

Tucker graduated and is wrestling with Drew again at Michigan State. Tucker won state in Illinois his senior year. Tucker had a pretty good career at Mt Carmel. Having said that I also believe that Lowell could have been really good with both Hughes, both Champagne's, Tucker, and Cummings all wrestling on the same team.

SWINfan Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 With Region wrestling so strong, why are there kids that cross state boundaries and go to school and wrestle in Illinois? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig40 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 With Region wrestling so strong, why are there kids that cross state boundaries and go to school and wrestle in Illinois? They get national exposure with no travel restrictions. Mt Carmel for example will have Dvorek, Cheesehead, and Iron Man on their schedule next year.
