It's impossible to know whether or not Ashpole will win state this year. One thing you have to say though, is that he is definately the man to beat, which isn't always a cituation a wrestler wants to be in. Jake should win state this year if you look at competition, record, ect. The hard thing about repeating as a champion, however, is the fact that eveyone is gunning for you. The 27th and the 28th will show all of us how good of a wrestler Ashpole is.
