scott eliot beet him this year!

Jared Hensley 12 and under @ 105 is a very good wrestler. He did lose 2 matches this year. One was Scott Elliot @ Century II by one point and the other was at the Wichita Classic by a kid from Missouri. Jared did win State and Topeka Nationals this year.

I would have to say that Nick Nothern from Salina is the best 14 and under wrestler this year. Nick tore a tendon in his arm in his quarter finals match at state and still won state. That's true studism!

How many state titles has Nick Shumate won?

i think austin jonas 14/120 from wwc is one bad mamma jamma

Id pick todd bell at 12 and under. Brandon Smith almost got pinned by bell two times this year.
Bell would have taken state at 139 if he would have gone. 14 and under would have to be nick shumate, and 16 and under would be todd's brother cody bell. they are both good wrestlers.=-o

I personaly think the best wrestler in 12 and under is a tie between John and jordan keller. John had a very unfair match where the kid (the person he was wrestling) got "injured". what a joke. the coaches told the kid to lay down on the mat so he would win with an injury. The coaches for the kid he (john) was wrestling have every ounce of my pity. And I just have to give my regards to Jordan for a great season. Congratulations John (really the #1 wrestler at state in his wieght division)and Jordan for a great season.

If he didn't do an illegal move he wouldn't of had that problem! When you are manhandling a guy you still need to stay under conrol. I'm sure he has learned his lesson.

i had that same problem at subdistricts when i was wrestling in the finals against Dakotta Gettler. i was beating him 9-2 and i did an illegal move so his coaches told him to sit down and then he started crying and he couldnt go on so he won.

what weight were the Kellers at?

I hope YOU LEARN YOUR LESSON when you get kicked out of the junoir wrestling league for teaching your kids how to be BABYS.

I didn't coach this kid, nor do I coach mine to be babies. The Kellers are excellent wrestlers and will be on top again. I just hope they didn't learn their control from you. I hope you don't kick me out of wrestling!

Don't worry...i didn't.

I agree. He is the most dominant wrestler i've seen in kids for awhile. For being eight he has excellent technique and has a move for about every situation.

I think everyone should watch Cody Pack. He is really holding his own in the 10 & Under division. If you want to rate on heart and determination instead of wins I would go w/Kyle Caylor. Kyle has stuggled at times but always finds time to root on all the other kids in his bracket and his team mates. Kyle really is a great sportsman and I feel that that is #1 rating in my book.

What kids are back in 8under around 52/55 for this upcoming year. Is either or both of the Deshazer's 8u? I think Ulysses is. What about Jamon Cotton? What other state place winners or qualifiers are back for 55/58 this year?

Coach Dad

U. Deshazer, TOHK
J. Cotton, Hutch
D. Dowell, El Dorado
C. Locke, Maize

will all be back this year, How about those Seaton boys? Will either one of them be back?

Both of the Seaton's move up. From this side of the state there is:

Bo Pursel - Tonganoxie
Chris Lemanske - Bonner
Zach Hoehn - Wellsville (I thought he moved up but he wrestled Sunflower Games 8U).
Dakin - Emporia

CoachDad

Sunflower games go by the age of the wrestler the day of the tournament, so he still might move up? I think he does because he wrestled at Nationals and my boy wasn't old enough yet? But I am not for sure.

My son Zakery Will
was 6@under 58 lbs. He had 2 loses at 6@under.And placed 1st at 11 tournaments and 2nd at two.He got 4th at sub-district and 3rd at district he did get beat out at state but with the bracket he had it was an honor to be there with the older kids like Deshazer..I am not trying to brag but he is one of the best 6@under kids in the state.Not to mention his little brother Dayton 5yrs old got 4th in his 1st year at 8@under 40lbs.HE got beat by two 7yr. olds and still has 2 yrs left at 6@under.Hope to see you all next season.
