If you had to choose one of these wrestlers, who would it be and why?
GERARD SPEER, MATT WEISHAAR, JOSH LATTIMER,
NOAH CLOUSE, LUKE PAGE, T.J. STAAB, JOSH CARROLL,
ZACH HEMMERLING, IAN BORK, TAD GREER, ANDY POTTS,
JORDAN BEDORE, BLAKE SEILER

Noah Clouse

I would pick Andy Potts. I wrestled on his team for two years, and saw his work ethic, and drive to win. Trust me there is no one more dedicated than him.

Noah Clouse with out a doubt. He was just unbelivible to watch he was just so fast on his feet. Matt Weisar is also up there with him. Ian Bork is also a decent wrestler.

Last year the answer would of been Speer from Scott City he defeated Staab and Latimer. This year the two best are Staab and Hemerling. But I would give the edge to Staab. His strong point was being on his feet and it showed all through the state tournament.

Why does everyone keep forgetting about Seiler. Beating Hemmerling at Newton was not a fluke. I talked with the Hutch coach after state who told me that even Hemmerling was impressed with Seiler calling him the best in state. That might have been him blowing smoke, but I doubt it. His match with Latimer in the finals at state was only decided by two points. You got to give Seiler credit since that was only his third year wrestling. Runner up at state with only 3 years experience and state champ with 4 years has to speak to his work ethic and determination. I cannot speak to the work ethics of the other wrestlers, but from the ones that I have been in the practice room with, there have been VERY few work harder and have the drive to better themselves than Blake. You also have to remember that Seiler won state this year with a cast on his leg, watching him wrestle without the cast looked like watching a 145 pounder move on his feet.

Without a doubt speer he beat weishaar, staab, and could beat all of those guys.

Ian Bork
I have seen his work ethic up close, I have seen it progress since we were both 8 and 10 years old, he has what it takes to win, he is a great wrestler and i will watch his career with great interest...
good luck Brother

I would like to add 2 more names to that list, kyle kennedy from ark city and dominic roberson from newton, if I can remember correctly those 2 dominated the avl last year.

Sieler

out of that list I think the top 10 are:
1.lattimer
2.speer
3.staab
4.selier
5.clouse
6.ubben
7.roberson/kennedy tie
8.hemmerling
9.weishaar
10.luke page

That's a pretty good list, but how's about some of the other 215 pounders out there: Damon Parker (2x state champ from Manhattan), Wes Walker (2x state champ from Ulysses, NAIA national champ), and Alex Haines (state champ from Colby, junior all-American)?

But, then again, those are some good old boys from my day...

Speer Scott City

Without a doubt, Seiler!

Its toss up between speer and lattimer, when lattimer was healthy he ran through 215 he even beat the psycho philip walker.

Don't be stupid, Speer cannot be touched. He could kill anyone of them and he showed that at state last year. Not even lattimer would have matched him

I would take Noah Clouse wrestling at his own weight. Remember he wrestled up for his team last year. At 215 I would take Hemmerling for two reasons he is just a junior and second he has the dedication and work ethic fitting for a coaches son. I think he will exceed the rest in a year if he stays 215.

I think out of the 215 pounders in th past 2 years lattimer and speer still stand at the top, even though seiler and hemmerling were bad asses this year they still can't match those 2, I have wrestled both lattimer and selier and I can assure you that lattimer is better, I would have loved to wrestle speer, hemmerling, and caroll just to see how I match up with them but that never happened.

You guys forget about Charles Chaney of Wyandotte. He beat Parker of Manhattan 14-5 in the east west match one the state with a 55 second fall, malled everyone he wrestled his senior year. I don't think I have seen a better 215 pounder in my life than he was. It was hard to see him wrestle at state he only wrestled about seven minutes in the tourney his senior year. I coached him and coached against most of the kids you are talking about and he was a man compared to most of those kids. The only 215 I ever saw who had the whole low single leg package at his disposal. He wrestled like a 145 pounder in a big mans body.

philip walker was another good one...I was suprised when lattimer beat him in the finals
