Wrestlers to look forward to next season in region 8

[JTWrestler]

Who do you guys think is going to be a solid wrestler next season from region 8?

[Nainten]

Here are wrestlers to watch from some of the teams:

 

Houston           Travis Arthur, Grayson Young, Colin & Keaton Jones, Kameron Ewen, Smolin

Arlington          Mike Mowery, Ray Hardin, Bryce Dodson, Caleb Morgan, Bailey Hulley

Cordova           Matthew Mullins, James Costner, Salvador Martinez

Collierville         Jared Briant, Alex Connell, Diego Scott-McCabe

Bolton              Kris Bledsoe, Dalton Ridling, Jonathan Abel

Bartlett             Dawson Johnson, Christian Cara, David Thomas

I am not as familiar with any impact wrestlers coming back from Millington, Brighton, Ridgeway, Southwind, East, Kingsbury, Munford, or Germantown.

 

I think Caden Young might be a freshman next year for Houston.  He should be pretty good right out the blocks similar to what the Jones brothers did this season.  Arlington will also have a few good freshman who will do well out the gait next year as well.  The benefits of healthy feeder programs.  I don’t know what is coming out of the Collierville youth program next season but I am sure they will get some solid kids too.  Bartlett doesn’t have feeder program per se but they will get at least one good kid from the Elite Wrestling Academy.  I think he is Coach Longo’s nephew.   

In terms of who has a decent chance to place at state next season…I’d say Bledsoe, Mowery, Morgan, Arthur, Mullins, Briant and Hardin are your best bets to medal.
