HS beginners

Who has never wrestled before high school but is now state bound? I know of Newell from Mankato. Any others?

Newell was an accomplished kid wrestler. Go back and look how many medals he had over the years at Kids State between 1997 and 2001.

William Bock (160) started last year as a junior

Isn't this only Kenny Aubrey's forth year?

I thought that Newell had wrestled kids state but I wasn't completely sure. I was just interested if doing kids federation gave you an advantage. We have a junior high student who had never wrestled before. He had a very good year during the jr. high season but has not had the best of luck in kids. I just wanted to give him a few "names" to give him some encouragement to keep going.

Billy Benz 130 from Burlington is a first year wrestler.

David Hinman from Parsons

I believe Kenny Aubrey started wrestling as a sophomore. Also, Matt Mahan started as a freshman.

Calen Born when did he start. cause he was on my national team in 03. i thought he had been wrestling for a while

Four of Baldwin's seven state qualifiers began wrestling as freshmen:

Nick Rockhold, FR, first-year wrestler
Mark Jehle, JR, started as frosh, 2x SQ
Josh Kohn, SR, started as frosh, 2x SQ
Andreas Brandenberger, SR, started as frosh

Both Piper Qualifiers started as freshmen
Chad Shore 125
Kevin Kerns 112 2X

Chad Shahankary is a second year wrestler.

Jermaine Berry in 2000 didn't start till a soph.

Didn't SE have a couple of studs that were new as freshmen?

We find a great deal of those wrestlers in Kansas!

Oh yea! tells how old I am

Willie Johnson of Wichita North Lost to a Stud from St. Francis at 167 lbs. for 2nd in Grand State and it was his first year wrestling. He played fungis ball his soph. & jr. years.
