Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School 152 4A

I look at alot of results and this weight class looks stack. wiscombe,metcalf,johnston,demo,ponce
taplin,sharpe,franks,buck,strawn,fitzgerald. There is some big names in that group of wrestlers.

Chase Frank from Scott City looks pretty good this year, but you're right, it's too close to call until state actually gets here.

how many losses does franks, johnston, and strawn have on the year? what are some of their quality wins?

From what I watched of the Rose Hill kid Ponce, I would throw him in the mix also. Looks to be a great weight class like most of the 4A weight classes.

johnston has lost twice..to metcalf and strawn..he lost to metcal 11-6 after trying a deperation move when it was 6-6..he was beating strawn 6-0 before suffering a stinger like thing..and lost 10-8 in OT..he later pinned metcalf at a dual..he beat ponce out of regionals last year

I have seen several of these kids. my pick is Taplin, he seems the most comfortable on the mat, from start to finish and seldom looses his composure. I pick Buck for runner-up despite a couple of previous close losses.

What are wiscombe, metcalf, johnston, demo, ponce, taplin, sharpe, frank, buck, fitzgerald, and strawns records? and who do u think are the top 6?

1.buck2.taplin3.wiscombe.4.sharpe5.franks6.is in in the air to me>.....Buck will really turn it on at state he wants to gets the guys that beat him im sure.Close matches all of them it should be a great tourny.

top 6: wiscombe, buck, taplin, fitzgerald, sharpe, strawn

john or those the wrestlers you think will place.
i agree with the first three placing. but fitzgerald,sharpe and strawn are on the bubble. i think you have to look at metcalf,johnston. and the other placer is up for grabs. strawn is just a freshman and beleive me. at that heavy of a weight the upper classmen will step it up. strawn will have to wrestle outstanding to place.

I admire Buck and have for a couple of years. I am a huge Buck fan but he is not going to win state scoring only 1 point escapes in tough matches. I know he is good on his feet but I have seen him lose some big TD too. He is going to have to be sharper on his feet.

yeah speaking from the past no matter what a freshman does the whole season it all can change at state, but there are a few exceptions to that just like anything else. some freshman might think "i have been to kids state a ton of times how can this be any different?" high school state is like kids tulsa! if you ask me.

i have been watching ross taplin for a lot of years and he may not match up with strength or even talent of all the others, but i have seen him come back and beat some good kids. he has a lot of raw determination and he won't quit. don't be suprised if he wins, even though he is young.

How many losses does Wiscombe have?

No one mentioned Bobby Krause from nickerson-- saw him at clearwater and was very imressed with the way he spanked sutton-kern of concordia. At that time he was undefeated, and very impressive. Also, chase frank beat buck by 1 at Garden city and someone beat Ponce at the Rose Hill tourney

Ponce was beaten by Metcalf from Fort Scott.
