Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle 8 & under 49

Logan Roether i think will be in the mix to. I think there is going to be some upsets in this bracket this weekend cant wait for it to get started.

Kmac, you are correct. I forgot about the match at Salina.

Looking over the Bracket...here are my favorites.

In Alphabetical Order:

Deshazer
Dryden
Hitchcock
These Three are a lock for the top 3 in my opinion.

Others to watch:

Becker
Duncan
Sims
Stuart

I'm not saying the rest don't have a chance...these are the ones that I've seen wrestle this year.

I watched D Pelland win at the Great Bend and also saw him beat Sims at District Saturday. I wouldn't bet against him! Good luck Coach Greg!

Nice touch with the "Alphabetical order" bit Beeson.

Sorry, I was thinking of a totally different kid than Deshazer. Although the kid I was thinking about is 5 yrs old and wrestles at 49lbs. Duwayne Villalpando is the young stud I was thinking about. My Bad....

CW BUOY - I don't know the kid you are talking about personally, but if he's that studly why wouldn't he be entered in 8&U Subs, Dists & State? Just a question...

Something we all need to think about when we throw names around is that it is the kid then that has to back it up - not the adults!!!

the kid has nothing to prove. he is just a kid wrestling and having fun. if the parent puts his name out there then its on the parent but i think we need not to say the kid has to back it up. the kid might be a 5 year old stud. nothing wrong with saying that. he may not be 8 year old ready yet but that doesnt mean he isnt a stud among the 5 year olds.

Good point about stud among 5 year olds bockman.
He wrestled at 6 and under state. My little boy had the opportunity to wrestle the 5 year old from TOHK in the first round at Ottawa and he is undoubtly a very impressive wrestler. I was told this was a first year of wrestling by one of their coaches. The little guy didn't place this time but he made a believer out of me. I believe he will do extremely well next year, 6 and under or 8 and under!

Mike Daniel

My favorite might be Cody Phippen. However I might have some bias. He wrestled great this past weekend beating Tanner Duncan and losing to Hitchcock 2-0.
