The hendrickson boy is tough, Tucker lost to him in Salina 4-2 in OT. We've toyed with going to 80 .lbs for state because Tucker is a light 88 pounder. So besides D.Newton and the formentioned 80 pounders, who else is out their.

Think no matter where he is at, D. Newton will be the one to beat, however, don't know if Hartley is still at 80 or not, but he is right there with Newton. Everyone rainyracer mentioned will also make it a tough weight. Have watched Gross several times and he is very good.

wichita classic and western kansas classic will tell alot where people will be going usually.

Braden Morgan from Eldorado is another one at 80 that is pretty solid. Rudy Rodriguez from Salina and Hayden McArthur from bonner Springs are also pretty good. Is Tucker going to wrestle 80 or 88 at Hays? I entered Dylan at 88 and was hoping to wrestle Tucker.

On a thread like this, not too many people seem to talk about the older kids. After I looked at the original post, I can see why. The 14u wasn't even mentioned. Well, what the heck, look out for PJ Cheney at U14 95. He is a serious contender for the State Championship after finishing 2nd last year at U12 92. From what I have seen, he is definitely better than he was last year.

I entered Tucker at 88 for Hays.

At that 14U class you see alot of kids coming out of MS and HS right about now and that shakes up everything!!!!

Yes there are quite a few 14U wrestlers who come back after middle school that can shake things up a bit! I may be incorrect, but if a wrestler is in high school, he will be wrestling in the high school division even though he may be 14. So for the most part, it will be the 14U middle school wrestlers who are added to the 14U "whose tough" mix.

The way I understand it a 14 yr old hs wrestler has his choice which division he wants to enter.

watchout for Isaiah Gitrich 6u 73 pounds, he's only lost one time this year, except for the two times he wrestled in the hutch tournament where he was in 8u 73 pounds and he came in third

oops i meant the clearwater tournament he came in third 8u 73pounds

I heard that Dustin Reed Runner up at 103 in 4a this year is planning on wrestling the 14 and under division that would be a good one to throw in the mix up not sure what he plans on going yet

This is something that I have been contemplating since the High School division was added. The kids that can qualify for either the U14 Kids division or the High School division, how do they (or their parents/coaches) decide which route to go? In this case, an excellent wrestler who finishes 2nd at State in his freshman campaign, what does he do? Does he attempt to place in the (Grand State) High School division, or does he go for a State Championship in the U14 Kids division?

He does whatever his parents and coaches feel is the best thing for HIM. He's 14! Let him try to win another state title before moving on to the H.S. division!

well what i heard from Reed is that ya he had a great season in High School and he said some people might say he is trying to dodge some good wrestlers that are to old for 14U but he doesnt care because he feels there will be tougher kids in 14U because not enough kids are doing kids at all so why do High School division and win when u can do 14U and have some better kids

Yes, dagwood, you are correct, - must have been wrapped up in high school state and wasn't thinking clearly about kids club.

Who's tough at 10U 67?
