The 103 pounder form Sody Daisy looked very good at the G.P. West.

Kelly Felix is not a freshman, he was ineligable last year. He is a sophmore.

[CoachDelgado]

Kelly is a freshman this year. He was ineligible in the eight grade middle school season because of his age. Felix is a great 15-16 year old freshman, but his age does have something to do with his adavnced abilities and ability to compete physically. As far as 14 year old freshman, I would have to go with Bauke of CBHS.

Bauke may be tough, but there is no way that he will be able to compete at the state tournament for the next two years. He is physicall incapable of hanging with Whitt Dunning and Corey Manson. He will find that his success as an elementary school wrestler will not transfer over to his high school days. There is more to wrestling than technique when you reach the high school level.

Well, seeing as this string has nothing to do with his physical toughness but his sucess as a freshman, I would say that Bauke is the most successful freshman in the state this year. Nobody question if he could beat Manson or Dunning, but I wondering if you have ever seen him wrestle? Not many kids have been year-round wrestling since they were in 2nd or 3rd grade. I believe that once the naysayers out there see Bauke perform at states, they will be suprised. I also believe that Bauke is in the toughest weight class in DII, and that he will give Dunning and Manson all they can handle. Just my opinion.

i have wrestled Bauke myself and i would have to say that he is the best freshman this year

[johnsmith22]

Creagan is my pick for the best freshman. he has been dominate all year. he beat a state champ from alabama and has only lost 2x this year, once to the kid from collins hill and then to a state champ from lousiana. Creagan is a good kid and i think he will do great this year.

[CoachBray]

Josh Bauke is my pick for top freshman. It will remain to be seen if he can beat Whit or Manson yet. However, don't let the little schoolboy looks or the "elementary wrestling" garbage fool you. He is technically and fundamentally sound. At Oklahoma State's wrestling camp this summer, he won every match but two, a 4-2 and a 2-0 loss to to upperclassmen studs (from Oklahoma). He might not be a state champ this year, but look at who's in front of him. I know a lot of SENIORS that can't beat Whit or Manson.

How has the freshman from bradley been doing? Justin Spain? what is his record and what has he done

[themessenger]

THE YOUNG TWINS AND GOSS ARE GREAT FRESHMEN FOR MCCALLIE! WATCH THEM CLOSE. THEY WILL MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES.

FES,

 

Justin is doing great. He has only lost 1 or 2 matches this year. One of them he lost to the number one ranked 152 in the state @ the Bradley Invatational. I can't remember his name, but he is from Houston. He went undefeated at the Virginia Duals.
