powerhalf Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Never too early Jeffersonville Sectional Outstanding wrestler: Bailey Lahue Corydon Central 12th The experienced young man has gone through injury difficulties the past few years and will look to put it all together for his last shot at a state title. Returning state qualifiers: Lahue Corydon, Kaufer Corydon, Franklin New Washington Team race: With 8 regional or better placers returning, both New Albany and Floyd Central should have the firepower to win the team race. As always though, Jeffersonville is in the mix with their ability to fill holes with more than capable wrestlers from their very deep room.

Will Franklin and Kaufer continue their rivalry with another deep postseason back and forth this year? Can the Bulldogs really knock off Floyd or Jeff for the title? Answers: 138, No, Kaufer 106 and Franklin at 113 this year will both have great years without matching up, The Dawgs have both barrells loaded and have the best shot that they have had in the past decade.

randalllynch Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 D. Mowery has slimmed down and most likely will compete at 170. Both Landrum and Harrison spent a lot of the summer in the gym and gotten bigger so could compete a weight higher. Jeff, Floyd, and NA had solid middle school programs last year, they will have deep rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
