First let me say I live out of state and have always loved wrestling and try to follow Indiana wrestling, but it's mostly around tournament time. So there is a lot about these kids I don't know. From Evansville originally and get some info from people there, but mostly here, online papers, etc. I do follow the tournament on Saturdays on trackwrestling or video streams and have streamed the state finals the past several years. But I gotta ask, despite possibly sounding stupid.
A few questions:
1. What gives Lee a realistic shot to beat Micic for the state title? I know he's good, but he's a frosh, so my info on him is limited. Have they ever faced each other in summer tournaments? Micic seems awfully good!
2. Why is Konrath at MV? It seems like a kid that good that lives in that area would end up at MD. It seems really odd (yet very cool) that 2 of the top 3 kids in the state at that weight live so close. I could see it if he were at Reitz, but Mt. Vernon isn't known as a wrestling powerhouse.
3. Why do MD kids always seem to have so many fewer matches than most of the other schools?
4. Lastly, does anyone think Schaefer (106 Memorial) has a chance to beat Nawl this weekend? Have they faced each other?
Thanks for the answers and all of the info and opinions posted here.
