Iowa State Tournament this Weekend Wrestlers to Watch?

[achawk7]

I haven't followed much HS wrestling this year but excited that the Semi's and Finals will be streamed online. Does anyone have specific guys that they are looking forward to watching? (Iowa Commits, Big Storylines, etc.)

Thanks in advance, figured you guys would know more than me.

Go Hawks!

Wagner #1 at 120 3A "Bettendorf". He should have no trouble standing on top the of the podium.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Some Lisbon senior named Carter Happel. I've heard he's decent.

 

[crablegs1]

I'll be watching the Portillo brothers from Clarion as well as Teske and Cook from Fort Dodge.

2nd round 138-3A Nelson v Zach.

Alex Thomsen

I know penn and others have really good high school wrestling, but there is nothing like the iowa high school state wrestling tournament.

 

[Spoons]

I'm a little bias because I'm related to him but Bryce Esmoil at 195 2A. Mitch Kelly's son Joe Kelly at 152 2A. Looking forward to West vs. Thompson in 1A. Teske is a beast. There are a ton of great matchups out there sadly some are even in the 1st round. Exciting and can't wait to see some of it live!!

Johnson, a Hawkeye to be, @ 160 from Osage should blow his way through the field in 2A

BTW: Has one loss this year... to Berge from Minnesota 15-5. Some fans on this forum may have heard of him.

 

[LutherAce]

max lyon - 3A 182 should wrestle a total of 10 minutes this weekend.

 

[8:17 a.m.]

Guessing that was 7tds to none.

Yikes.

I think he wrestled clingenpeel and Malcolm at preseason tournaments too. I believe he beat Malcolm and lost to clingenpeel.

If that's the case, I stand corrected. Thanks!

Edit: Now I am confused(Not surprising I know) his record is 39-1. Maybe out of State wrestlers don't count on the record or preseason matches don't count???

Preseason matches don't count. If you take a loss during the regular season to a wrestler from another state, that counts on your record.

Thomsen just got beat in the first round by Wally Zernich of Lisbon. Zernich had West beat in districts until a late takedown was waived off.

Pretty sure they had it backwards.

correct, Thomsen won 4-1. Good match though, those Lisbon kids really compete hard.

I have alot of respect for the Portillo brothers, but Im going to pull for Simms (SBL) to win in the qtrs., he has 1 loss on the year and its by 1 point to Portillo. Hope they both take care of business in the first round.

You mentioned "sadly some are even in the 1st round" I believe Minnesota is going to seed their state tournament using track wrestling. Should be interesting to see how it works out.

I saw this tweet RE: Minnesota seeding

I wonder if the tweet means for Team state? individual sections are this weekend. State for team and individual is next weekend. I do know they used track to seed the individual sections as well. They had the "seeding meeting" still last night to make sure everything was good with the coaches, not sure how they do that for state. I think for the most part track did a good job, they just had to make some tweeks to some weights.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

I want to see Sam Cook and Donavan Doyle wrestle.

 

[pinters]

Shout out to Nebs Jack Huffman A 113. His dad Todd placed 3rd a couple times for Storm Lake. Good luck big guy!!

Preseason matches don't count. That's one of the things that makes them preseason matches.

 

[JuiceHawk]

There is a potential Brands vs. Streicher match up.

Brands is going to have to go through a tough Zach Barnes of Southeast Polk tomorrow morning.

I said potential.

I'm sure Hawk Talk meant nothing by his statement he was just pointing it out to you who he had before that potential match.
