I knnow it's only the first week of the season, but iawrestle is already calling Teske vs West the match of the season. It's defintley a wild match. It's in the link https://iawrestle.com/2016/12/04/brody-teske-fort-dodge-fall-bryce-west-solon/
Brody Teske vs Bryce West
- Thread starter Jay on HR
- Start date
No kidding. Thought Teske was more the aggressor throughout, but lots of good action from both guys. It was like West got a little too defensive in the 3rd after building his lead, trying to stay out of some big move positions, and Teske just kept going and going. End result. Boom.
I wouldn't say West was aggressive at all. Just took advantage of some mistakes by Teske who never gave up.

Brody Teske put together back to back 43-0 seasons and 2 State Titles in Class 3A (Iowa's biggest class). 2nd in Fargo Cadet Freestyle this year. He's a Junior.
Bryce West is 153-2, and went 3,1,1, in Class 1-A (Iowa's smallest class). He was 105-0 the last two years and has a twin brother Drew that is very good as well. They transferred to a nearby Class 2-A school for their Senior year. Went from a 1-A school a little south of Iowa City, to a 2-A school a little north of Iowa City.

And just a few miles away in Independence might have been one of the matches of the season. Teske cradled Bryce West to end a two-year unbeaten run with an exciting, scrambling session that (probably) won’t soon be topped by elite talent. A few minutes later, Teske’s Dodger teammate Triston Lara took down New Hampton’s Keaton Geerts in the 138 final. Both were state champs last season in 3A and 2A.
Let’s hope there are more days like Saturday soon.

Controversial takedown at the end to win it for Lara. Good, close match between future UNI teammates.

Do you think theirs a chance they moved to avoid Thomsen? He's been there kryptonite I believe.
Here's the aforementioned Lara-Geertz match which was also good although not as much action. Geertz got close to a couple TDs. Lara got a one late in the third and nearly back points.

Apples and oranges. They don't seed the state tournament. If they did the same way college does you might see more of it.
The way high school is set up, it's in their best interest to face top competition early to get the experience especially when they're in different classes like West-Teske.
Huh? Some guys make it a point to wrestle the best competition, while others tend to avoid the tough matches. Some kids switch schools, change weight classes, etc, to essentially avoid other tough wrestlers. I am just complimenting the kids that do NOT avoid tough competitors, but lay it on the line and risk a loss. I am not commenting about seeding/state tournament at all.
That's probably a bit of a reach, but I would not know. It that were somebodies thought process, it would be easier to move a weight than to move to another school. There are also 2 of them and only one of him, so I doubt it.
