I think a 5A coach would find a way to include last year's 215 state champion Joe Bach into the lineup. A 5A coach would have also found a way to include two time undefeated state champion and one time finalist Elliott into the lineup. A 5A coach would also find a way to find a spot for last year's state champion at 103 Tyler Stokes by perhaps moving the Keller twins up a weight.
It is just a little difficult to believe that you would have a preseason All Star 5A team without Stokes, Elliott and Bach in the lineup somewhere. That is a lot of former state champions left off the lineup without them in it. Personally I would like to see Henes in there somewhere too.
If Elliott is at 215, he would definitely be starting. I would have to give him the edge over the upcoming star of Wichita NW. That 112 weight is loaded to say the least. You could wrestle Keller, Stokes or Wood and go to the wire with Furches. Moving the Keller's up to make room for Stokes makes sense. As close as it would be, I still think 6A gets the win at that weight. Now Bach is a tough one to leave off. I have heard that he's bulked up a bit. I would imagine that Joe has a future in D-1 at HWT. If he wants to wrestle at the next level, pulling to 215 may not be the best move. I personally would love to see a Bach/Disney final. If Joe and Elliott end up at 215, that would also be an interesting clash if Scott could handle that much weight.
