who is going to be # 1 at 171 in 4a this year

why dont you tell us what you think?

Id assume Mumaw, Picking, Eastberg, and Hattabaugh

Easterberg will more than likely be at 160. Jake Delp will be at 171 and he placed 3rd at 215 last year.

My pick for 171 would be Mumaw, although I heard he had a hand injury playing football. Does anyone know if that will prevent him from getting a full wrestling season?

My guess, which is an easy one, is Mumaw. Mumaw won the championship at this weight last year with 4A being by far the toughest. I say this because most of the top 10 kids in the state were in 4A. Benny Armstrong being no. 2 and Ethan Mumaw being no. 3 in the all around rankings. Mumaw beat Benny Armstrong 5 to 3 in the championship round, and beat everyone else in the state bracket decisively.
Mumaw went undefeated, with over 30 pins. I don't know for sure, but I don't think he had much more than 10 or 15 points scored against him for the year.
Many people overlook him because he never wrestles outside of highschool, so therefore you don't see his name posted everwhere like you do with other kids that wrestle national tourneys all the time,(which is too bad).
By the way, Ethan's hands are fine, no injury.

read on prepzone forum that he(mumaw) had a major knee injury during preseason football. hope he's back for wrestling.

Okay yes thats right not hand it was his knee

He is expected back in January.

Actually, he is expecting to start at the beginning of this year. His progress has come along faster than expected.
