8 under 55

Who are the big contenders to watch for this year in 8 under 55?

I would definetly watch for Deshazer tohk,meditz jr viking,Taysom kcwc,not sure if Beeson,Casteel,or Levi Green are in this class but if so then watch for them as well

Levi Green has moved up to 10U. Barring a growth spurt Beeson will probably be at 55. DeShazer has wrestled 58 most of the year but 55 at the big ones so he is another maybe.

Taysom wrestles for East Kansas Wrestling Club. He defeated Meditz this weekend in the finals 7-0.

I see Deshazer in at 55 for Salina and Casteel is in at 58.

Meditz took 1st today at Mill Valley - at 8 & under 55 - not sure who all was in his bracket.

Meditz and Taysom met in the finals again at Mill Valley. Meditz won this one 2-0 in overtime.

Has Deshazer Beeson met up recently if so what was the outcome?

Deshazer beat Beeson 2-1 in triple overtime at Tulsa Nationals.

Maverick,

The Sims have moved to Iowa. Rhykers dad took a job relocation with his company. I talk with them often and they are doing well.

what were the results at Tulsa for Beeson and Deshazers bracket?

Colton Richardson from Valley Center and Justice McDaniel from Scott City both looked good in Great Bend this weekend. Mike

This was probably the toughest bracket in 8u and maybe the tourny. You could wrestle that bracket every month and would have different finishes everytime. There were many 1 and 2 pt with numerous OT and multi-OT finishes.

1. Real Woods New Mexico
2. Juan Bazaldua Illinois
3. Anthony Madrigal Illinois
4. KeSean DeShazer TOHK-- Kansas
5. Micheal Reagan Oklahoma
6. Mason Johnson Oklahoma

We wrestled Woods he's no joke but as far as Kansas has Meditz wrestled Deshazer or Beeson who's the frontrunners in Ks?

Meditz hasnt met Deshazer or Beeson this yr. Looking forward to getting a chance with them at Salina. Beeson beat Meditz last yr at Paola I think it was 6-0. Havent met Deshazer since first yr 6u.

IMO, I think Beeson and DeShazer are the front runners from what i have seen and followed so far. Now that we are getting into the crunch time of the season we will see who steps forward. Looks like Salina will give an idea. Good luck to all.

It sounds like the medals are already given out for Salina in this weight. I say we let them wrestle first before we bring up what they did when they were six and under.

Nobody was bringing up what happened when they were 6U. Everything discussed was from this year, except for Meditz and Beeson from last year. Nobody has handed the medals out yet, people asked for the front runners and that is what is being discussed. Sorry if your kid wasn't mentioned.

That is funny stuff.......

AMEN!!

All medels for the Salina Tourn are given out after their picture is taken... Actually we have not even picked them up yet... They are dropping them off at 1:00 today...

How about gold medals for all Rossville wrestlers & outstanding wrestler for one of them--- you can just pick the OW award out of a hat.

All BS aside, we need to have a comedian contest. THere really are some quick witted folks on here.

that's no lie there. because if there giving medals away before they start wrestling, i am moving jeffrey from 6 and under 46 to 8 and under 55 oops were not even going to be there but you can mail the medal.

all that aside good luck to all you 55 pounders. and all other weight classes.

This is a great weight class. I'm excited to see them get it on in Salina. Hopefully lots of great years are ahead for all these little studs.

Congrats Beeson. Great bracket. T-Bone had the time of his life this weekend. He has worked hard all year and was proud to stand on the podium with your son; it was quite an honor. Thank you Meditz for inviting us to come wrestle with the Vikings & thanks to all of the Viking Coaches and kids who have treated us like family. See you next year at 10U 58#

First of all Thank you for the congratulations. Your son is a fine wrestler and we enjoy the competition he brings. Second, Thank you for escorting Jake and my wife out of a hostile environment. It is too bad that not everyone can leave it on the mat. From what my wife tells me, you have a wonderful family. I can't wait to meet you and I owe you one.

Sean,

Since you do not know how to act, do not ever speak to my son again without me present. It takes an awful small man to try to intimidate a 9 year old child. You owe him and my wife an apology.
