powerhalf Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Jeffersonville Sectional Team to beat: With half the individual champions remaining from last year, the team race will boil down to which team can fill their losses best. As usual numbers are high at Jeffersonville and Floyd Central but New Albany and Corydon both have a large number of key guys returning. With the program depth and the ability to fill their holes with quality wrestlers, Jeffersonville should be able to take the crown away from Floyd Central this year. Floyd, Corydon and New Albany will all be in the team race and it may go down to an exciting finish where Jeffersonville needs a big win at HWT for the Red Devils. Returning place winners at sectional: Floyd Central: ( 5 ) 2 champs 2 second 1 third Jeffersonville: ( 9 ) 1 champ 2 second 2 third 1 fourth 3 fifth New Albany: ( 7 ) 1 champ 2 third 3 fourth 1 fifth Corydon Central: ( 9 ) 2 champs 1 third 2 fourth 2 fifth 2 sixth Charlestown: ( 7 ) 1 third 3 fourth 1 fifth 2 sixth New Washington: ( 7 ) 2 second 1 third 2 fifth 2 sixth Returning Studs: Stevie Jones Jeffersonville Sean Brown Floyd Central Bailey Lahue Corydon Central Austin Ward Floyd Central Ezra Paden Corydon Central Cory Troutman Floyd Central Benjamin Castleberry New Albany Yancey Crase New Washington Chase Herron Floyd Central Jacob Franklin New Washington Matt Hayes Providence Brandon Spangler Jeffersonville Brian Arnold Eastern Pekin Gavan Jolley-Little Jeffersonville Best shots to qualify for state: Didn't make it? You're welcome for the extra motivation. Bailey Lahue Corydon Central Austin Ward Floyd Central Cory Troutman Floyd Central Chase Herron Floyd Central Jacob Franklin New Washington Gavan Jolley-Little Jeffersonville Questions going into the season: Can Lahue win his first High School state title? How will Floyd Central reload after losing so many quality wrestlers? Will Jolley-Little carry his greco success to a podium step at Bankers Life? Who will win the seemingly wide open team sectional? My answers: A close loss to Wilson in the semi's last year and a dominating win over Hughes at ISWA state tell me he can. Not as well as they will need to for another title. This is the year Jolley-Little places and he could surprise at state. Sticking with Jeff. Thanks for the look and lets hurry up and get this season started already!

randalllynch Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Other strong wrestlers in this sectional to watch who will be on the podium and cannot be counted out for the top step: Jarred Cunningham, Floyd Central Mason Kaufer, Corydon Bryant Haynes, Charlestown Bryce Peavler, New Albany Randall Lynch, New Albany Hunter Langley, New Albany D Fredericks, New Albany James Wise, New Washington Brett Kempf, Providence Amil Haleem, Jeffersonville Gary Gains, Jeffersonville Most of these guys had strong summers and either beat or pushed the individuals to the limit who are on the stud list. These guys go further in making this a wide open sectional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerhalf Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 If we are going to expand, lets ask who are the top freshman coming into this sectional? Antonio Gaddi Charlestown, Austin Kopp Corydon Central, Colt May Corydon, Tyler Robinson Corydon, Jarrod Shepphard Jeff, Blake Ellis Jeff, Jack Tull Jeff, Dylan Jolley-Little Jeff, Tristan Selmer Jeff, Aaron Gohl Floyd Central, Jarrod Cunningham Floyd Central and who else? I am sure your Dawgs have a young man or two. Took a stab at these guys all being freshman this year. Most likely missed one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure your Dawgs have a young man or two. Took a stab at these guys all being freshman this year. Most likely missed one or two. some of these guys are still 8th graders Antonio Gaddi, Charlestown - Starting QB for high school, good athlete that I hope keeps wrestling Austin Kopp, Corydon Central - very good technical wrestler, unfortunately missed last season due to injury; will probably have to wrestle up since Corydon has a good 106 Colt May, Corydon - good wrestler and developing quickly but may be in a loaded weight class this year Tyler Robinson, Corydon - dedicated wrestler who doesn't quite definitely one to watch Jarrod Shepphard, Jeff - ended the offs-season on a high note and wrestling well Blake Ellis, Jeff - 8th grader Jack Tull, New Albany (not Jeff) - developing quickly and will have some good work out partners at the high school to bring him along Dylan Jolley-Little, Jeff - pretty sure he is an 8th grader Tristan Selmer, Jeff - pretty sure 8th grader (not positive on this one though) Aaron Gohl, New Albany (not Floyd Central) - is an 8th grader on my team : ) Jarrod Cunningham, Floyd Central - pure stud Noah Franklin, New Wash - very good wrestler and will fit in nicely Tristen Dowell, New Albany - moved to Colorado was probably the best 8th grader coming to high school as a reigning Triple Crown winner Jarrod Cunningham will probably go the furthest in this years tournament though and will compete for the 106 sectional and regional crown against Kaufer and Jones. This will be one of the better freshman classes in this area, but next years freshman class is loaded for Jeff, New Albany, and Floyd Central.

wolfpackwrestling Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Kopp is around 150 lbs so I doubt he considers it wrestling up. Good wrestler who should be able to make some noise in the upcoming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratemom19 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Haven't been here in a while and wanted to take a peek at all the fuss you fellas are making for this year. First, Antonio Gaddi is NOT a starting Quarterback for Charlestown...he is a cornerback and may not even wrestle this year and IF he does he will be one of the bigger guys. Second, Austin "Tiny" Kopp would not have to wrestle up if he were still tiny because Mason has never come close to beating him in practice...but either way he was about 160 this summer and grew several inches and is not so "Tiny" anymore. I also saw Mr. Lynch's "summer picks" and you left out quite a few more realistic picks. Where was Ezra Paden? Bailey LaHue was huge over the summer and grew as well so he may not make it down to what you had him listed for this coming year. You did not mention Luke Woods at all and he beat Mason Kaufer several times, so I'm not sure what you based your picks off of, but they seemed a little off to this momma who's watched these boys grow up over the past nine years. Charlestown has three guys who have worked their tails off this summer, one of which did not get to wrestle much last year as he broke his hand the first week of practice and then contracted mono. I always get a kick out of the pot that gets stirred each year, but this year rather took the cake for me. Half the state's top guys weren't even considered...if one thinks they've made good picks without one mention of Perry Meridian or more than a couple of Mater Dei guys then I think something is WAY off. some of these guys are still 8th graders Antonio Gaddi, Charlestown - Starting QB for high school, good athlete that I hope keeps wrestling Austin Kopp, Corydon Central - very good technical wrestler, unfortunately missed last season due to injury; will probably have to wrestle up since Corydon has a good 106 Colt May, Corydon - good wrestler and developing quickly but may be in a loaded weight class this year Tyler Robinson, Corydon - dedicated wrestler who doesn't quite definitely one to watch Jarrod Shepphard, Jeff - ended the offs-season on a high note and wrestling well Blake Ellis, Jeff - 8th grader Jack Tull, New Albany (not Jeff) - developing quickly and will have some good work out partners at the high school to bring him along Dylan Jolley-Little, Jeff - pretty sure he is an 8th grader Tristan Selmer, Jeff - pretty sure 8th grader (not positive on this one though) Aaron Gohl, New Albany (not Floyd Central) - is an 8th grader on my team : ) Jarrod Cunningham, Floyd Central - pure stud Noah Franklin, New Wash - very good wrestler and will fit in nicely Tristen Dowell, New Albany - moved to Colorado was probably the best 8th grader coming to high school as a reigning Triple Crown winner Jarrod Cunningham will probably go the furthest in this years tournament though and will compete for the 106 sectional and regional crown against Kaufer and Jones.

randalllynch Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks for the info on Woods, i thought he graduated, i will make sure triple-b gets it. Ezra is on the watch list, just out of the top 8. Please let me know if you have any insights on weights since these guys grow fast, mine is almost 6'3 now and was a 106 not long ago. The local paper keeps listing Antonio as the QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpackwrestling Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 With both of Charlestowns quarterbacks injured Gaddi has been getting the bulk of the playing time at QB the past few weeks. I know against Corydon he ran wild from the quarterback position. I did also hear that he was around 150ish also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grappler100 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Who ever predicted the team rankings is wayyyyy off. Charlestown will finish top 3 this year and most likely win it all. They are stacked from 106-138 and then from 160- HWT. Luke woods beat mason kauffer pretty bad and will beat stevie jones. he will definetly be top 2. Bryant haynes and pevler will be the finals match at 120. Dillion gray, Zach higdon will finish top three also. They have a bunch of wild cards this year and should be a solid team.

Life was good when there was no internet in Charlestown. Woods may win 106 if he is there but otherwise, he will have an uphill battle at 113 or 120. Haynes nor Peavler are wrestling 120 this year (according to my source) so that would be amazing. Gray and Higdon I agree on, both should make it out of sectional. The team placing statement, "Charlestown will finish top 3 this year and most likely win it all", would be shocking. In this individuals opinion, they are at best the 4th best team in the sectional. I would peg them 5th behind some combination of: Floyd, Jeffersonville, New Albany and Corydon. With 0 returning sectional champs or even runner ups, I would be slightly stunned if they could back up your statement. Trolling is fun though, I give you that.

randalllynch Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 No, I was talking about the summer predictions for the "season" sorry for the confusion. These were summer rankings only for Evansville SS based on info provided by the the wrestling community, weights and results kids wrestled in post season and state tournament, and sometimes direct input from the wrestler. Definately not predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
