maligned Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The average wrestler in high school wrestles about 20-25 pounds heavier his senior year compared to his freshman year, moving up about 7-8 pounds per season--especially below 160. Thus, we can project most kids for next year at 1 weight class higher; and I'll assume, for the sake of argument, that the top 9th graders at 103 will stay where they are for next year. Also, at higher weights, I assume 10th grade 160s and 171s move up while all others from 160-285 stay the same.

But they have a beast of a freshman there that weighs 215-220 right now that they project at heavy as a sophomore for next year. Meyer walks around at near 215, so people are speculating he'll go down to his natural weight and make room for the kid at 285. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellmont has a kid that will be a junior next year that will step in at 215. Meyer will most likely stay at hwt next year will the success he has had up there it wouldnt make any sense for him to go down to 215. Also you might want to throw in Faurote at 140 he was 2 seconds away from beating Norton in the ticket round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there are about 8 kids that you could argue as top 3 coming back from 135 this year, projecting at 140 for next year. You have to give the nod to Hiestand over Faurote because of their head to head matches this year. But then Rueger beat Hiestand and Wartman placed very highly. Norton had a number of close calls this year; Faurote wasn't the only one to almost knock him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decbell1 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Faurote beat Wartman easily earlier this year, but I understand you just went by the criteria originally. I'm pretty sure Meyer will be at HWT next year, and should be ranked #1 come November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yeah, I don't know what to say about the 135s coming back. RG will have his hands full with the preseason ranking. It's a lot of this guy beat this guy who beat this guy. Thanks for the help with Meyer (both of you who mentioned this). I changed him to 285.

Boot Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Meyer is so good as a light heavy I see him winning state next year if he hits the weight room. He's so technical and athletic, but can get pushed around by those big heavies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profestler Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 As big as Sliga looked compared to this past summer - He maybe 215 next year -- how can a kid that big do the splits -- I don't know about the rest of you but I was squirming in my watching that!

So i would put Farrell infront of Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Too bad we wrestle 3 periods-not just 2. So score was 1-0 after 2--Final score was 8-0. Third period is when the good ones wear out their opponets...Mullins stay away from Tsitsis unless they change rules to just one or two periods.

iowawrestlingfan Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 If i remember right the score was 1-0 going in to 3rd. He has nothing to be scared of, Devon Jackson showed Tsirtsis is not a machine He beat a wrestler that was 57-0 8 to 0, i know the finals were close..but id say he is pretty much a machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overpriced Tilt Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'd have Cody LeCount from Perry Meridian in the top three at 103 for next year, this kid is the real deal. Also, there is no way Jackson Bratcher will make 171 next year, he'll be at least 189. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAGUOC79 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 He beat a wrestler that was 57-0 8 to 0, i know the finals were close..but id say he is pretty much a machine Mullins had a bad day yall. If anyone on this board would have seen his quarters match, he wasn't very sharp, he only beat the previous guy, who I believed placed 7th 3-2 on a last second reversal. It just wasn't meant to be for him. Yes he had an outstanding year and he DID NOT give a single takedown. I would say that if Mullins wrestles Tsirtis again that Mullins will not choose bottom in the third, maybe the second, but Mullins is very very good on his feet. I think Mullins has a great shot to beat anyone from 130-140 next year. He WILL NOT avoid anyone. I repeat HE WILL NOT AVOID ANYONE. Mullins is up to the challenge and WILL NOT BACK DOWN. Mark my words. Thanks and God bless to all. Can't wait til next year, but first good luck to all wrestling this weekend at Team and Good luck to all the seniors in IL in a couple of weeks.

rebelmania Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I dont know about raley being on top at 130, and that is if he makes 130. I think kieffer had a bad day on saturday. He pinned raley earlier this year, and beat him in the finals last year. I may be wrong, i guess we will have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 considering we do not know next years weight classes it makes it even harder to predict wrestling results... the new weights may really alter a lot of wrestlers plans for the upcoming seasons...

indypin Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Rebelmania -- your name says enough, I watched both kids numerous times and while I am not from Roncalli or Indian Creek, I would say your reasoning seems tilted to your wrestler. Raley has a State Championship and State Runner-Up and I believe Kieffers best is 4th. They are both very talented wrestlers that have a good year ahead of them!!! Good luck to both but my edge goes to Raley in this match-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
