may already have been talked about, I'm new.
Who are freshman with a chance to win it this year

Lambotte out of rossville is about as good of a freshman as I have seen. I know there are some others, but I have seen this kid wrestle several times and he has been impressive.

Brogan Humphrey at 125 in 3a and Lombotte at 135 in 3a I would say have the best shot to win it if that is the topic. They are ranked the highest of any FR this year that I found. They also seem close to the level of the guys ranked above them.

JMO

These are the 4 freshman that I think will have the best shots of winning their state brackets.

Brogan Humprey of Fredonia
Tagen Lambotte of Rossville
Dustin Williams of Gardner Edgerton
Preston Weigel of Hays

The great thing about Freshman is that they have 3 more years to wrestle in high school and this can come as a big advantage especially if they can make it deep into the brackets against upper classmen who, I have seen, get a little tight because they know they are running out of time to win a title. (Obviosly this is the minority of the time or Freshman would always win.) But my point is it can create the perfect storm where a more experienced wrestler can get beat because they don't stay relaxed and agressive.

Here is my list of possibles...some are long shots but they are all good wreslters with bright futures ahead of them. Exciting for the state of Kansas!

Kale Knowling 103 AD
Dustin Williams 140 AC
Daniel Wilson 103 LV
Greg Jones 112 WH
Tyler Mies 103 AN
Dreher 112 Oberlin
Brogan Humphrey - 125 FD
Tagen Lambotte- 135 Ross

Each of these guys have people ranked ahead of them with a lot experience so they will need to wrestle their very best to have a shot. There are obviously others but I haven't either seen them or don't know enough about their opponents to comment.

Parker Howell-Kapaun (103)

You know Tommy I love Parker and one of the major impediments for Parker to be a 5A Regional Champion and possible State Champion is that dang Gentzler kid.

Tell Cherie to feed the kid a few more pop tarts.

See you tomorrow in Ark City!

Tagen Lambotte. 4 year placer if not 4 time champ!

No pressure, Tagen.........I was impressed with him at Bobcat.

Jacob Durossette 125 from fort scott really impressed me

Brogan is a tough kid. He is probably the best freshmen i have seen this year.

Lambotte and Williams are wrestling at weights where they see alot of upper classmen. Williams had some impressive wins before having to set out for awhile. Sure he will be back in top form for tomorrow. Lambotte looked great today. Would get my vote, but having seen Bogan and Parker during summer wrestling, also very good.

Rose Hill's Jake Wilson. He's their 112 and he's lost a few matches but all by close margins and 1 or 2 by questionable calls.

Have to think Clayton Himpel (4A #112) from Tonganoxie, is in the discussion. 4th seed at Holton regional, 1st place regional champion.

Bird looked impressive in winning tonight. Can't remember the weight class. I need to got to bed. But, i was at the regional that was held in Concordia. Nice facility. My first time there. Newton, GREAT TOURNEY. I LOVE IT. But study Concordia's bathroom layout real carefully please! ;-)

Yeah Spencer Bird was awesome at the Con regional, 140lbs,great job Mr Bird!

Tagen Lambotte was voted Regional Wrestler of the Year at the 3-2-1A Regional at Silver Lake.

I'd say our PJ Cheney belongs in this discussion. Regional Champ at Mill Valley. Tough wrestler.

Tyler Dickman is a tough freshman. 5a 119#.

I'll take Preston Weigel of Hays... 35-2 as a freshman going into regionals, pins his way through regionals... looks to make a pretty good case here, I guess we'll see after next week. He will see Bontz in the finals if he makes it there (which assuming he will after seeing the bracket)
