top 30 Pounders in the state

[iforgot]

i think that most people would agree that 130 is one of or the toughest weight class in the state . How does everyone think it will end upthe

[cbg]

It depends on where Raymond Dunning decides to go!!!! He could go anywhere from 125#, 130#, or back to 135#. My prediction is that everyone will run from Dunning.

cbg,

 

Has Dunning chosen a college yet? Is he interested in UTC?

[cbg]

I have not seen Raymond or anyone in his family since the early part of summer so I don't know what his thoughts on college are other than he is a very good student. My guess is that he would be willing to listen to any school/coach that was interested in him.

Has anyone heard where Sholly is going to wrestle this year? He needs to stick around 125 - 130. Otherwise, his fate will be the same as last year...

[Guest toughasnails]

What about Aaron Brewster from Overton. He could go 130 again. He is a young tough kid.

[CoachL]

We all know that Dunning will win it where ever he decides to go...and i know that Brewster isnt bad, but what about Toler from Mount Juliet he did beat some good kids last year including Brewster, and Neblett, but he did get beat by Davis from Frk at state who will be another one to look for..30 is stacked

[legman]

I've seen some tough kids listed, but strangely, no returning state placewinners.(DI) There's something to be said for wrestlers who have actually taken home a medal.

 

Some returners that could well be at 130.

 

Matt Bird, State Runner up, 125

Scooter Houston, State 3rd place, 125

Jake West, State 3rd "01 and State 4th "02, 125

Max Gessler, State 6th, 125

 

John Lane, State Runner up, 130

Michael Creagan, State Runner up "01, State 3rd "02

 

Never know what weight a guy might show up at, but don't forget this bunch when you place your bets.

[walkenvol]

Typically in the lighter weights (although there are exceptions), wrestlers move up 1 to 2 weight classes each year. Along with all those listed by legman, we can probably expect to see some of last year's 119 lbs best fighting for the top at 130 also.

 

Gooden, 2nd 119

Seaman, 3rd 119

 

And don't forget Wille Furman was at 125 last year. He was on course for a top 4 finish before his melt down againt West.

 

The top guys returning in D2 should include:

 

Blair, 2nd 125

Carson, 3rd 125

Medlin, 4th 125

Manley, 1st 119

Manson, 3rd 119

Oddo, 4th 119

 

Silberman has grown up to the 125-135 range this year and CBG has posted several times that Dunning will be anywhere from 125-135. Wrestling fans should enjoy some great competition

[CBbest]

You made a good point, Seaman and Gooden would most likely move up in weight and be at 130, Didnt MJ have a good 130 last year (Toller i believe), any clue what Toller and Seaman are weighting now..and who would win if they are both fighting for 130

 

And is Gooden and Furman near the same weight, and who would win in a wrestle off there?

[iforgot]

Toler did beat Brewster although Brewster was hurt that tournament and did not compete at the level he was capable but injury or not he should have wrestled tougher and not let it get into his head

[Tnthrow]

I'm curious to know who some of yall would put at the top 6 30's if they were to return at that weight from last year, here are mine.

 

1.Lane from Soddy

2.Creagan from Bradley

3.Davis from FRK

4.Sholly from Smyrna

5.Bosken from Science Hill

6.Gainer from S Doyle
