Trey Gentry, I don't know if he was even ranked in the top 20 this year, add to that the fact that he only weighs about 240.

He was ranked 13th.

He was ranked 13th.

My bad, I didn't think was ever ranked that high. 13th to 4th, not bad though.

That's a pretty big compliment to Harrison. To think that someone might brag about being able to get a take down on him...

brent hitchings

He was ranked 9th and got 8th.  And he stalls through his matches and tries to get a reversal in the third period, and usually only wins by 1 or 2 points

Brent Hitchings spotted each opponent 8 to 10 lbs weighing about112-114 soaking wet!!! This kid has Tremendous wrestling ability as well as heart! 119 was a stacked weight class and he got eigth place a tremendous achievement! Dont complain about stalling this kid was easily top 8 in ability and look out for him next 3 years!

What does weight have to do with stalling?

Brent is a freshman who placed while giving up 6 to 8 pounds sounds good to me.

Brent may have Tremendous wrestling ability, but he also has Tremendous stalling ability.  I believe the best wrestlers are those who attack their opponents constantly, not sit on their base and try to hook and role.  At regionals he got taken down by the Manual kid.  He has good technique, I've seen him at club practices when he was in middle school, but he goes for chump moves and relies on reversals to win matches.  Bottom line is: if a wrestler's highlight tape consists almost solely of reversals, rolls, and sitting on their base, then this wrestler needs to pick it up because he is not getting any better by doing that

Isaac Thomas at 140. Ranked 9th got 2nd

gavin agneau from caldwell couty he was ranked 14th and got 8th he is only a junior and shoold do great next year watch out for him

I didnt think Warra would do as well as he did at 119. Fourth place? thats good for going up a weight at the last minute.

Warra did wrestle tough, but Logsdon wrestled like crap and should've majored him.

Warra has a serious separation in this shoulder. He was nowhere near 100%.
