Teske is one tough cookie. I feel he would beat up on the Portillo kid in 2A
Zachary @ 145 3A looked pretty good. Think he would beat Happle from Lisbon at the same weight.
FWIW, I thought the same thing watching those matches.
Happel looked good, and nice to see Iowa get him. Jmho, it looks like Zachary has more explosiveness and perhaps more upside. If Iowa could take any two, I'd like see Thomsen and Zachary.
Oh yeah, let's make it three... Brands!
Teske may have something to say about that.
FWIW, I thought the same thing watching those matches.
I'll take Happel and his 154-1 record, 4 state titles, Cadet national title, FILA national title and 5th place at Junior nationals, with #4 national ranking with intermat.I think he would beat happel too.
With that Happel looks a lot smaller then him. We'll see if he drops to 38 for Fargo. Zachary has a big frame. He could end up being 49/57 where as Happel is a 41.
I don't think Mehmen is all that tall, but Cook is short.Sam Cook looking really slick. How tall is the Mehmen kid he is wrestling? Dang
I like Holloway a lot. Very Raw but he can get there. Bring Cook in anyways. Iron sharpens iron!Turk...we have a guy that looks a lot like him in Holloway. As much as I heard, thought he would be a lot more dominant.
I'll take Happel and his 154-1 record, 4 state titles, Cadet national title, FILA national title and 5th place at Junior nationals, with #4 national ranking with intermat.
8-6 in a 220 match after 1 period? Yes please
It's not even close. Teske is great in Iowa. Not so great outside of Iowa. He failed to place at cadets last summer.
