Denver/Tripoli will give Ballard all they can handle in 2A. There's lots of star power on those two teams and there will be some head to heads between them that could decide it. I don't think anybody will touch either of the Weathermans. Hiatt getting through Noble early on will be huge for Ballard's team chances.
 
I go to Lewis Central. We are sending 8 wrestlers:

Nick Sulentic Fr. 112 lbs.
Tyler Feller Jr. 119 lbs.
Jay Hildreth Jr. 130 lbs.
Zeb Wahle Jr. 135 lbs.
Elijah Sullivan Jr. 140 lbs.
Kyle Putnam Jr. 160 lbs.
James Jorgensen Sr. 189 lbs.
Zach Renshaw Fr. 215 lbs.

All they can handle and more. I would be willing to bet on DT this year. It is definitely going to be interesting.

I actually favor D/T as well. They know this is "THEIR YEAR" and I think they'll wrestle with urgency. They have some absolute hammers in their lineup. The younger Sorenson is one of the better freshman to come along in awhile.
 
Anybody know if Knight and Gadson have met before? I was hoping we'd get Knight buy maybe Gadson is the better wrestler. I love the way the older Moreno wrestles and the younger one may be as good or better. Is Voelker considered an elite high schooler? Looks like we've got some great young legacy wrestlers coming up.

Knight has had some injury problems. Gadson has not and has an impressive two years. Id look for some great things from him. Its unfortunate they will likely meet so early in Des Moines.

The younger Knight for Urbandale looks really good for a freshman and the Moreno bros both look extremely tough. Hopefully ISU can snag these Urbandale kids and bring them into the program.

I wouldn't call him elite but I will say he's really good. I don't know if anyone will beat him at state. When I think elite I think of Jay Borschel, Ryan Morningstar, etc.

Voelker has great upside potential. I think 151 wins and counting puts you in the elite category even though he has no state championships. A part of this is because he is very aggressive and shoots alot forcing the action. All of his loses have come from getting caught while shooting. As he matures and his experience increases he will only get better.

He also won the class 3A 400 meter run in 2009. How many 200 lbs wrestlers can do that? He is a good athlete and a good student who turned down several football and track schollies.
