This is certainly a mute point this year because Kansas is dotted with outstanding heavyweights, but is it possible for a freshman to break through and win 285 pounds? The closest I can recall came 3 years ago when Elijah Madison of Salina Central reached the 5A state finals (if I'm recalling correctly). We've seen some tremendous jumps from freshman to sophomore year (Ex: Andrew Ubben and Duane Zlatnik). Zlatnik was just a qualifier in '05 before winning the first of what will be three 3-2-1A State titles. I think Dylan Salmans of Hoxie will be a great heavyweight, but as a freshman he won't compete for a state title. Any other heavyweights place high at state in years past?
