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.
