Not taking anything away from south, but Drew wouldn’t go into OT with him. I might make some people mad here, but Drew gets on top...it’s over

Uh oh....another class wrestling debate starting in 3, 2, 1...

A person I know, who wrestled a few years ago, loves to say that the wrestling talent is decreasing year after year. Do you agree? Just for fun, I thought I would put up the 2016 state champs vs the 2019 state champs in a duel meet to see who would win. 2016 State Champs vs 2019 State Champs 106: Asa Gracia vs Brennen Cernus 113: Colton Cummings vs Jacob Moran 120: Drew Hildebrandt vs Brayden Littell 126: Brock Hudkins vs Jesse Mendez 132: Chad Red vs Asa Garcia 138: Brayton Lee vs Cayden Rooks 145: Joe Lee vs Mathew Lee 152: Trent Pruitt vs Elliott Rodgers 160: Jacob Covaciu vs Jordan Slivka 170: Drew Hughes vs Nick South 182: Blake Rypel vs Carson Brewer 195: Jake Kleimola vs Silas Allred 220: Mason Parris vs Arthur Fowler 285: Shawn Streck vs Dorian Keys This definitely does not tell if there is less talent but I think it is just fun to see who would win. IMO I had 2016 state champs winning by a lot! 44-6 to be exact Edit: I realized after someone told me that I was being biased because I was comparing the kid's entire high school career instead of that individual year so my score got a little closer. 25-17 before Parris and Streck both get a fall so 37-17.

But you need to look at the guys in 2016, not what they did since after. I think Asa as a freshman probably loses to Cernus. I love Asa to death, as he is one of my wrestlers, but the reality is Cernus was pretty darn good. Were the tops kids from 2016 champs better, or have better careers, maybe. I believe a better barometer would be the number of kids going to college to wrestle. Is that number increasing or decreasing?
