WOW

"Wow" is right! Thanks for sharing.

has anybody seen videos of him besides from youtube? impressive for a 6th grader but not sure how he has 50 wins against high school competitors?

Very true, impressive..but how as a 6th grader does he have 50 varisty wins?

how does a junior high school kid wrestle high school can't figure this one out.

In other states I think that they allow middle school/junior high to wrestling up into highschool

I knew of a kid from New York that was a 6 time state champ, starting in 7th grade.

In 1998 Scott Coleman's opponent in the national championship finals was a 5x state champ from Arizona. He won it as an 8th grader. I would bet there's a similar rule in most states where there is very little kids' wrestling and the high school wrestling isn't that tough.

Lincoln McIlravy won 5 high school state titles in South Dakota and three NCAA's at Iowa. There have been quite a few more in the past 10 years, and if I weren't already blowing off homework I would look them up.

I believe Lincoln Mcilravy was a 5 time state champion for on of the Dakotas

I don't see any 6xer's

im still wanting to know how he is beating the better highschool competitors. i could see a 6th grader beating 50 bad freshman but he had to of ran across some 1st and 2nd ranked guys. on youtube he looks good....for a 6th grader! being able to last 3 rounds with some of our quality wrestlers like napier, cox or slyter would be a huge accomplishment for someone his age.

Alabama anyone?
