who will win at 103?

Isn't he the 112? That makes a difference. But I agree that he is beatable. I've seen him get spanked. I guess it's a battle to see who can hang with him until the 3rd. That's when most well-conditioned, technical wrestlers would have the advantage over Shelton. He does have a good chance to win states, but he is also beatable.

yeah adam is the 112 but since they bumped shelton up he was able to eat and be healthy for the match so its an advantage for shelton in a way but shelton's gotta work on his conditioning

Shelton has the strength to over power alot of people. But our coach tells us leverage is better. And that was what happened in the ken. clark. match. Hebda just used his leverage against shelton. Shelton is quick and powerful and must use that to win it all.

Technique, conditioning and mindset are everything in a state tournament. I can't say anything for his mindset, he is always ready to wrestle, but Shelton will not go far if he does not get in better shape. He could do very well, but I predict he will place 5th or 6th.

 

I have seen him wrestle 4 or 5 times and he looks good, except when someone knows more technique or can push him into the third period.

I imagine both Puckett and Shelton are cutting a significant amount of weight. I also know (from my own experience) that this can have a large impact on performance if not done correctly. Does anyone know how much trouble either are having at maintaining weight, or if they both have half of their weigh-ins? I think Puckett didn't get down to 103 until around Christmas and Shelton has wrestled a lot of duals at 112 and missed weight at a tourny or two. Will this play into the state tournament results in anybody's opinion?

Puckett naturally weighs about 108. I saw him weigh 108 at the begining of the year when he wasn't even thinking about dropping
