1oldwrestler Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I don't think any state's all star team could hang against that line up. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

base Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Illinois wins at 119, 135,140, 189 I don't know about 119 and 135, but I would give solid wins to the USA team at 140 and 189. I've seen both Villalonga and Evans wrestle this year -- they are both absolute beasts. Villalonga is strong but wrestles with more of a quick, fluid style -- he has uncanny balance and is going to be very tough to get out of position. Evans is not a huge 189 pounder, but he is a man among boys. This guy will ruin your weekend. Don't know him personally or anything but you can see that the guy has a mean streak -- and will get very physical with whoever he's against. Congrats to Coach Peckinpaugh! This USA lineup is a really impressive group of wrestlers. I'd guess that of the 13 weight classes, 4 or 5 of these will be national champs at some time in college.

Coach Peck Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It is an honor for me to be asked to coach in this event and to represent Indiana. I think when I looked at the line-up it was kind of like the time several years ago when we had a move in and he came to his first practice. We were running across the room and when he came to the wall he ran up it and did a back flip landed on his feet and spun around and kept running to the other wall where he did the same thing. I remember turning to my assistant and saying, "you know, I think I can coach this kid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
