Best Wrestler in the State?

[TheGreatDevion]

I have to say Bundy and Felix.

 

How many points did he allow the whole tournament....It was either 0 or 1

[BartlettDad]

I know you've been waiting for this so here you have it:

 

Trashcanman's Top Ten

 

1-Kelly Felix

 

2-Corey Manson

 

3-Ben Johnson

 

4-Bo Usary

 

5-Brandon Wright

 

6-Travis Creagan

 

7-Jay Adamson

 

8-Ryan Fuller

 

9-Damien Buchanan

 

10-Demetrius Johnson

 

I can't wait to hear from the you know who koolaid drinkers.

 

And some who should be on the screen, however...

 

Nick Reveiz

 

Josh Jadoobirisingh

 

Jake Young

 

Spike Rawn

 

The wrestling Youngs

 

Matt Lettner

 

Ryan Konz

 

 

Demetruis Johnson number 10,no way, top 5 easily if not number 1, toyed with his competetion at state only loss last 2 years have been to Coleman in last year semifinals.

[Trashcanman]

I agree totally with you on Johnson. I just hadn't watched him enough. Definitely the real deal.

 

After this weekend, I'll make a revision:

 

1-Felix-Does he make everything look just insanely easy or what

 

2-Mansen-Totally dedicated, great postion, great kid

 

3-Ben Johnson-Solid like Mansen

 

4-Usary-Slick, conditioned, and poised

 

5-Demetrius Johnson-I had an inkling but now I believe

 

6-Brandon Wright-Impressive in the finals

 

7- Courtney Coffee-What a specimen-and physical-he punished his guy in the finals

 

8-Travis Creagan-Never lost his cool, found a way to win his second

 

9-Jay Adamson-Looked a little more human in the finals

 

10-Simpson-Impressive in the finals as well

 

Soddy 1, Bradley 2, Notre Dame 3, Science Hill 5, Ooltewah 6, Kingston 8-Way to go right side

Coffey... TWO TIME STATE CHAMPION

[hardball03]

Coffey... TWO TIME STATE CHAMPION

 

 

It was good to see him try a "slide by". He's now working on another takedown.

 

A single leg snatch will not get him beyond state champion.....I'm amazed he's

gotten this far with it. His strength will be matched at some point and he'll need

more technique.

 

As for now, enjoy the ride.

Coffey... TWO TIME STATE CHAMPION

2 time state champion who almost got pinned in his semi-final match. He only won that match 10-8 and fought off his back for a good portion of the second period. This does not qualify him as one of the best. Felix, Bundy, D. Johnson, J.M. Simpson and Manson (in no particular order) all were the class of the tournament. No one touched any of them. They are the best 5 in the state. I will not rank them, but you can.

If I didn't know all the hype on Corey I would have thought he was just a good wrestler after watching his last 2 matches at SD.

I would put the BA 112 above Corey.

 

No offense Blaster, but that's a candidate for one of the dumber claims made on this board this year (from page 8 of this thread, by MasterBlaster--that info didn't carry). I greatly anticipate Cash's future, but saying he's better than Manson now? Unbelievable.

Especially when Cash didn't even win state this year. Congrats Bailey Whitaker.

Exactly...I watched the match between Cash and Whitaker, and, while it was a good match, it did not look like the Baylor kis struggled much to pull off that win. Now, while saying Cash is better then Manson, thats a stretch. Quite a large one, actually. But Cash is a good wrestler and I look forward to watching him in future years.

[Ole! Ole!]

LANDEN HALL (Maryville) placed 2nd in state...so close to 1st lost 3-1...ONLY A JUNIOR...and a GREAT MAN

[Faith+1]

I'd say either Hendersonville's Jeff Jarrett or Jefferson County's Kane. In the old days, I'd say Jerry "the King" Lawler or "the Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony ( I think he was from Bucksnort).

[pointblankrange]

Based on what I saw at the state tournament:

 

1. Kelly Felix

2. Demetrious Johnson

3. Corey Manson

4. Ben Johnson

5. Nic Bundy

6. Jay Adamson

7. Bo Usury

8. Dean Smith

9. Daniel Waddel

10. Brandon Wright
