I have to agree with dagwood. What the ADULTS need to remember is that the KIDS have to back-up all the smack talk. It would be nice if the Smack Talkers had to back it up instead of the kids. You'll never catch me guarantee a win for my kid. Too much competition out there, too many unknowns to guarantee anything.

Was the quinton Hicks kid from another state last year, he wasnt even in the 8u 88lb bracket in kansas.

Looks like he actually placed 4th at 80, not 88.

Hicks91,
I've had two wrestlers knock heads and unsuccessfully with Quinton and I would almost put money on him to take States this year. Gutsy or not I would back you on that prediction.

He was in my sons bracket at state & I had never seen or heard of him before. I was impressed the kid is good. I think Rope Dorman beat him in the semis. I will jump out on a limb with steele. I think he will win state.

Luellen, Issac and Dalton will be seeing each again this year. Issac should be looking real strong at 100. I wish Colton would drop down and try Isaiah in folkstyle. Colton is at 95 this year. Isaiah has some tough kids in his bracker like Jones from JC among others.

Thats good! Isaiah has done his home work & is looking for tough kids to wrestle. See you around & good luck to your boys.

Tell your boys good luck as well.

That makes 4 out of that 67 bracket to watch this year with Newton, Fisher, and Hartley all still 8U as well.

I had a nephew at that weight last year and watched it at State(although he didn't make it). It was loaded and those 4 coming back are all very, very good. Think Newton and Fisher stand out. Looking at 6 Under State from two years ago, Newton was 1st, Fisher was 1st, Hartley was 1st, and Miller 3rd (Loss came to Fisher). That's pretty tough competition in one bracket, but so fun to watch. From what Ive seen there all pretty good kids and sports as well. Watched Miller more than others and he has always (which isn't very often) handled a loss the same as a defeat. Always shakes refs hand and keeps his head up. Nice to see. And no, he is not related to me.haha

Oh almost forgot....Think everyone is also overlooking Brenden Young from Lincoln County. Kid is QUICK!!!! Very Quick.

Hartley won 6U state both times!
I think Hartley and Newton is a great match to watch!
All those guys should place and my guess is you might see two of those names in the finals!

What weight class is Hartley wretling at these days? followed him alot last year cause he was in my sons age and weight bracket,

maybe we can talk hartley into throwing all those kids into one bracket at the haysville tournament. hartley, schroeder, young, miller, miller from renegades, fisher, newton, bockover, spexarth, bowen, throw in a couple others that im not able to remember and that would be exciting.

would also be awesome to wreslte as team kansas at tulsa nationals. would they let us do that or would anyone even want to do that.

I have set up brackets in the past. Have coaches get in touch with me and I will see what I can do. All must be in agreeance for that to be done, since the weight difference could be an issue. Let me know, I am not hard to find on Saturdays.

No All-Star teams are allowed. Teams members must practice at least 2x a week to qualify as a team. So, no there could not be a Team Kansas.

well we could start practicing the week of does that count lol. thanks beeson.

we all practice atleast 2x a week. our locations may very. Beeson you want in???

Let me clarify...practice 2x a week together.....I'm always up for a good time

Just my opinion on Quinton, and yes it was 80lbs...so please forgive the mistake. There is a lot of good competition, and this post was asking for opinions on who we thought would be the top guns. If I offended anyone, sorry! But, I must say that if you can't handle other's opinions, you shouldn't be on this site.
