fwrestler Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 This is a tough weight, but I still think the toughest weight class I ever saw at Conseco was 119 lbs in 2009. How do you think this class compares to that one? 2008-2009 119 lbs bracket from top to bottom: Casey Kenney 4th (Jay County, 2nd 4th) John Petrov DNP (Hanover Central, SQ SQ) Justin Kieffer 7th (Roncalli, 7th 7th 4th 3rd) Ethan Raley DNP (Indian Creek, 1st SQ 2nd 1st) Justin Brooks 5th (Warsaw, 5th 4th 4th 5th) Marquis Williams DNP (Snider, SQ) Jeffery Stotridge DNP (Charlestown, SQ) Camden Eppert 1st (Anderson Highland, 4th 1st 2nd 1st) Alex Johns 3rd (Evansville Reitz, 6th 3rd 3rd) Seve Duncan DNP (Beech Grove, SQ SQ) Oscar Trujillo DNP (Lafayette Jefferson, SQ) Derek Bevans 6th (Yorktown, SQ 5th 6th 3rd) Brandon Wright 2nd (Cathedral, 2nd 1st 2nd 1st) Justin Fuller DNP (Brownsburg, SQ) Alex Filer DNP (Elkhart Central, SQ) Daniel Bradley 8th (Knox, 8th 2nd) Five finalists, three 2x champs (one of whom didn't even make it out of Friday night), four 4x placers, three 3x placers and two 2x placers. Also kind of interesting that Johns, Bevans and Petrov's little brothers are wrestling 120 this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdo^it135 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'd put it right behind this one: 2005-2006 119: Ethan Harris (Beech Grove) Jason Kimmel (Churuvusco) Brad Gallagher (Franklin) Alex Sanchez (Chesterton) Eric Galka (Hobart) Reece Freeman (Bloomington South) Blake Harner (Norwell) Kenny Pipenger (Centerville) Anthony Williams (Evansville Central) Aaron Estrada (Munster) Brian Vest (Perry Meridian) Eli Michel (Columbia City) Marcus Miller (Muncie Southside) Graham Youngs (Zionsville) Javier Salas (Merrillville) Alex Weinzapfel (Mater Dei) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy215 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'd put it right behind this one: 2005-2006 119: Ethan Harris (Beech Grove) Jason Kimmel (Churuvusco) Brad Gallagher (Franklin) Alex Sanchez (Chesterton) Eric Galka (Hobart) Reece Freeman (Bloomington South) Blake Harner (Norwell) Kenny Pipenger (Centerville) Anthony Williams (Evansville Central) Aaron Estrada (Munster) Brian Vest (Perry Meridian) Eli Michel (Columbia City) Marcus Miller (Muncie Southside) Graham Youngs (Zionsville) Javier Salas (Merrillville) Alex Weinzapfel (Mater Dei) One of my favorite matches ever was Williams-Salas. I've never seen anybody eat a cross face like Salas did in OT. That man was determined!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busstogate Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Salas hit a sweet fireman's on Harner and pinned him. I think it was in the first period.

boilergrappler Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I believe it was the toughest I had seen. So many evenly matched kids. Crazy theres three siblings @ 120 this year from that 2009 119 class. If Brooks @ 113 ate more, ( ) you'd have four pretty good pairs of brothers 8) There are some pretty good wrestlers in college now from this list.

bjax Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Josh think: Josh Fuqua, state runner up last year and a heck of a wrestler, got left behind because he had Garcia in the ticket round. This is a really tough weight class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maolsen Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Josh think: Josh Fuqua, state runner up last year and a heck of a wrestler, got left behind because he had Garcia in the ticket round. This is a really tough weight class. He was a runner up in a weight class that many people thought was very weak last year. He was also getting dominated before he caught Boomsma in the semis. Also everyone knows how hard it is for a kid to bump up from 103 to 119/120 and still be as successful. Galka was only a state qualifier at 119 and a lot of people thought hed be a 4xer when he won state as a freshman. Fuqua is tough, but i don't think that makes a good arguement for this year being tougher then the others mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that if he was here, the weight class would be even tougher. But I agree going from 103 as a frosh to 120, it is very difficult to even make it to state much less place.

sweepDOUBLE Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Zach Krumlauf got 8th as a freshman at 103 and moved up two weight classes and still was very successful this year and qualified for state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontherise219 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Did Fuqua and Krumlauf wrestle when CP and Dekalb wrestled? 3-2 fuqua. Fuqua can compete at this weight all of his loss were to Garcia bad petrov just a awful draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Region Watcher Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 brock bevans made that jump this year too. he got 2nd to keuneke this weekend To the point made earlier... I agree Fuqua beats half of this group. I believe he had 5 losses this year. 2 to Petrov and 3 to Garcia. Petrov could take it all and Garcia will be on the stand as well. Fuqua is tough and will be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butt Drag Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Great post regarding siblings. This was one of if not the toughest weight classes I have over seen. The finals very fittingly was a great hard fought OT match too By the logic presented, tougher classes could include: 2010 112 lb Jacob Boomsma (35-6) - Bloomington South Bryan Kuhn - Evansville Reitz Danny Rodriguez (34-9)- Highland Jordan Gilbert (41-5) - Whitko (11) Jared McKinley (45-2) - Perry Meridian (10) Kyle Ayersman (36-1) Lake Central (10) Luke Welch (35-9) Castle (9) Brian Harvey (37-5) Indianapolis Cathedral (10) Steven Gonzales (32-2) Delta (11) Brenden Campbell (52-1) New Castle (10) Nicholas Crume (43-7) Jimtown (9) Brandon Coppinger (28-7) Portage Cody Kendle (35-5) Pike Central (11) Paul Beck (47-1) Mishawaka (12) Logan Randle (41-1) Huntington North (12) Mason Todd (43-3) Pendleton Heights (10) Brendan Campbell (54-2) - New Castle or 2009 103 Lb - 4 guys have won state titles already, 2 other possible, several finalists - could be total of 9 or 10 titles. McKinley Todd Ayersman Phillips Harvey Batt Hall (future 2x placer) Keif (finalist) Campbell - Medical at SS Brooks Warsaw - lost SS Boomsma Que Kuhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1gold Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Luke Welch looked real impressive.. If he opens up against Todd and Campbell he just may take home a title .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
