Keep you eye on McCoy Newburg out of Independence. He finished 2nd in nationals in 09(freshman) and 8th last year with a last second loss in the quarterfinals. Hes one heck of a technitian on the mat. i cant wait to see who puts up a fight this year :popcorneater:

He is impresive. He's a takedown artist and reminds me of another ex-Indy wrestler (Seneca). He'll be unstoppable once his ground game truly does catch up with his takedown skills.

After reading this I'm wondering if you have ever even seen Newberg wrestle? Hes a scrambler, his ground work is much better than his takedowns.

I agree Newburg is a very good wrestler but 160 is a big jump from 152. A lot of wrestlers have trouble making that jump.

He won numerous off season tournaments at 160, I saw him take the TofC pretty easily at 160. I don't think its THAT big of a jump, 189-215 thats big. 152-160? Not so much.

Thats going against 152s that went up to 160. Most 160s are at 171 or 189 in the off season.

 

I sat in McCoy Newberg's corner when he was wrestling at 160 in Fargo and competing quite well (finished with a 4-2 record). I can assure you that he won't have trouble making an adjustment moving from 152 to 160 because he isn't used to wrestling opponents that size. People at Fargo are getting to their optimum weight, whatever that may be, so I know Newberg will be fine with a move up one weight class.

 

The only time I really consider going up only one weight class to be a big move is moving from 103 to 112 and 215 to 285. Those are big moves because of the change in type, style, and skill level of the wrestler usually involved.

Sounds good. I haven't seen him in a long time.

i don't see that much talent at 160 and i'm sure there will be some sleepers making some noise. Bradley can always produce some decent contenders at this weight but Soddy has had some intense transfers. I hear one of them is an ex mma fighter, just sayin. Maybe the biggest sleeper will come from the small school division at east literature. All i know is that it is gonna be a toss up and some great competition, look for best match at this weight at state.

Do you mean the same sleeper that McCoy Newberg from Indy teched in the region 6 finals last year?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
