ontherise219 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If you can ride legs pretty well as a high School kid you will get pretty far in the State Tourny. With that Said Alex Surma from Munster is a monster on top with the legs. The guy rips people arms off. He has done it all year at 140, 145, 152. It is nuts. I'm not trying to give away Info on Surma but if you don't choose down against him he'll Choose top. He is one of the best I have seen with the legs at the High School Level. Who do you think is the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champion Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Kolb Tri West... too bad he couldnt compete at semi state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangarrray Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Surma is very solid with the legs he is never going to be out of a match with that kind of a weapon. Looked like he was about to get a turn on Sandefur, but move went potentially dangerous. Paul Petrov , although he is only a freshman he rides the legs very well. He'll be one to watch, especially when he grows into his weight class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnome Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Derek Moore, UC Davis, 2007 National Champ at 141. Tech'd Ryan Lang in the finals of the NCAA's. Mitch Clark, Ohio State, National Champ. Tech'd Greg Jones in the 1st period of the finals riding legs. High School: Fred Joseph, Portage, 2x state champ @ 152. Tough leg rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boilermaker Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Surma is very solid with the legs he is never going to be out of a match with that kind of a weapon. Looked like he was about to get a turn on Sandefur, but move went potentially dangerous. Paul Petrov , although he is only a freshman he rides the legs very well. He'll be one to watch, especially when he grows into his weight class. I agree with both comments, Surma is the best I've seen in HS and Paul would be a high state placer if we still had a 98 lb class. Brooks and Petrov will be at Conseco next year for sure.

philo bedoe Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 In my mind without a doubt the two toughest high school leg riders I have had the displeasure of coming across were: Marcus Schontube (Lowell) Toby Turner (Monrovia) If they chose top, they brought the pain!

Boot Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Marcus Schontube gets my vote, it added to the feat that he was a huge guy in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
