Best Freshmen

[BattleBornVolunteer]

Who do you think the best freshmen are in the state?

 

My picks go to Travis Creagan(Bradley) and Justin Spain(Bradley).

I would say that Josh Bauke is the most dominating freshman in the state.

Over all the upcoming contenders in the state I will have to say that the young man from Notre Dame i think his name is something ADAMSON is the best and has the most potential

Dragon,

 

Where is Josh Bauke from?

[dragonwrestler]

Christian Brothers high school, Memphis TN. He is 36-4 (I think). He bumped up at Franklin and lost to Shawn Speroff and Ari Ibrahim. Lost 9-5 to Tinsley. Thats' the only TN wrestler I can find that has beat him @ 112. His only other loss at 112 coming from the Brother Martin 112.

doster ,johnson , and waddell @ baylor are on track to becoming very good wrestlers - doster has several tournament wins ,including mccallie , and his one loss was to puckett whom i believe is a senior -

after watching him this weekend I would add Courtney Coffey, 215 from Pope John Paul, I think after this weekend he is 27-2, or 26-3. he reminds me of Leavy Davis from Westside a few years ago, a real physical speciman and a smart wrestler.

Gary, you're right. That kid is a beast. I didn't know he was a freshman.

 

I'd have to back up dragon and take Baucke. He's in a pretty tough weight class for a freshman. Usually 103 is a weight where freshmen can be competitive, but 112 is tougher. The Spain kids, Creagan, Hall and the PJP kid are all very good freshmen, but I think Baucke is one of the most technically advanced freshmen I have ever seen. You know he doesn't win with his brute strength.

I would have to say baucke as well. He doesnt look like he would be great but i saw him wrestle at the Franklin tourney and he looked like a beast when he got on the mat.

I think bauke is a great wrestler but id have to go with kelly felix being one of the best freshmen in this state... i think hes only lost 1 match at 125 losing to kyle james... other then that i dont think hes lost, other then bumping up to 130 to wrestle better people.

[wrestlerguy]

Yea you are right kevin i forgot all about him. What was the score between kyle and felix?
