Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School who is the best in the state?

Adam Venegas will win state again he has been lifting hard and has but on 20 pounds. H

Sorry about the H.

The best wrestler in the state is Tanner Gardner. Then Bogart

Earl Jones is awesome!

Luke Zousas is a very solid wrestler also. L

i think most of you are in the upper classes and chose the big names there, but ive watched from 321a up to 456a and i believe the best "all around wrestler" is pyle. he is a tenacious wrestler who remains smooth on his feet as well as on the mat. i agree bogart is extremely good also, but i just beleive that pyle is just a better wrestler.

Fill me in with current weight projections for these and others...and then let's try that pre-season all star team!

if earl had two legs he wouldnt be half as good as he is

I do not think that Venegas is one of the best in the state. He had a very close and conterversal state finals match. Don't get me wrong he is a very good wrestler but I do think that he has peaked at the right time and had some what of any easy bracket.

i agree. if he had both legs, he would be around 145 or 150 maybe. at 125 or whatever, he just uses strength, he wouldnt be able to do so at a heavier weight.

Earl Jones won a State Championship when he was six.
Lost his leg at seven.
Then won a State Championship at Eight.
He would be a good wrestler whether he lost his leg or not!

I have seen many other kids with disabilities wrestling and none of them have done what
Earl has.

bogart, stu's really the all around best wrestler, he's got strength, speed, and very good skills, but tanner is also a great wrestler, these two lead the pack

ok you guys are sad, talking about earl not having both legs, that is a terrible thing and honestly i would bet he would give up all the state championships in the world for it back

CoachJT is right, Earl was winning state titles before the accident and would do the same with or without his leg at any weight class!! DP215(asuming you are in the 215lb. division) are about as yellow as they come and would probably still get whipped by Earl if he had no legs. If you are going to get on this message board and say something as assanine as that at least be man enough to put your name on it so everbody can ridicule you when the 125lb. one legged stud whips your butt!!!

i HAVE BEEN AROUND eARL FOR A LONG TIME. HE NEVER ASKED FOR SYMPATHY NOR HAS HE ASKED FOR ANY ADVANTAGES. hE IS A GREAT WRESTLER.... fOR SMS WRESTLERS TO BE ON THIS BOARD WITH THEIR DIALOGUE ABOUT EARL DISRESPECTS THE GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS HE HAS ACHIEVED.
AS WE ALL KNOW ANYONE CAN SAY ANYTHING, BUT IT IS A SHAME.

ROB BOGART

That has to be one of the dumbest things I have read. Hopefuly you regret that statement and wish you could have it back. If not please go to the DR> and get yourself snipped I would hate to see ignorance breed.

DP WRESTLER AND ASSA LAMA YAMA, YOU ARE BOTH
ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINIONS, BUT FACTS ARE FACTS.
I HAVE WATCHED EARL JONES FOR ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT
YEARS NOW AND HAVE YET TO SEE HIM LOSE A MATCH.
SAYING THAT IF HE HAD TWO LEGS, HE WOULDN'T BE AS
GOOD IS THE SAME AS SAYING THAT GARDENER ISN'T ANY
GOOD BECOUSE HE'S ONLY 119 LBS, OR BOGART IS ONLY GOOD BECAUSE HE ONLY WRESTLES IN 6A. IT'S RIDICULOUS. TRUTH IS, YOU ARE GUTLESS FOR WRITING SUCH A THING AND NOT SIGNING YOUR REAL NAME. IF THE TWO OF YOU HAD ONE BRAIN, YOU'D KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOUR SELVES, AND YOUR MOUTHS SHUT.
BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE IF EARL DIDN'T KICK YOUR
BUTT, THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF PEOPLE IN LINE BEHIND HIM TO DO SO!

earl jones is an awesome wrestler and for someone to say different is nuts!! and wouldnt u think if he did have both legs he would be just as good?? i bet you he would rather wrestle with two legs than one dont you? and look at all the accomplishments earl has done with just one leg! he is an awesome wrestler and he seems to be an awesome individual!! and i'm not trying to be disrespectful in any way but what did happen to earl in order for him to have just one leg??

I believe that the best wrestlers in 6A will be Stewart Bogart, Tanner Gardner, Ryan Parks, Adam Venegas, Dallas Browning, Hemerling and Dane Jordan.
