Erisman gets my vote. One loss (in OT)as a Freshman at a very tough weight and then the Cadet Freestyle National Champion. Doesn't get much better than that.

Potter, Potter, Potter, Potter, Potter........I am partial to him because his man-crush on me is quite large, and I must look out for my own.

i dont see many people mentioning gilliland for hoxie, he is going for a 4x state champ, and he is coming from if not the best, one of the best programs in the state, i think he should be at the top of many lists

I will agree with you kolat03 that gilliland is not getting the respect he deserves, however now you have to listen to Chris Jennings when he says that Kyle Potter is one of the best wrestlers in the state. He's a stud, and one to be reckoned with.

But if Prant Garker were in the state he would be the best in the state...him or his sibling Pamon Darker

Boach clack, I can't say I disagree.

However, I think in my absence, Abilene has the two best wrestlers in the state in Kriegbaum and Taplin. (Sorry to get your hopes up, Nigel, but it's not you.) I don't know how dominant Kriegbaum will be now that he's a fatty, but I have no reason to doubt him, so he's still either #1 or #2 until proven otherwise.

Of course, Gilliland is also ma-ohny, as is Erisman. (But Gilliland is a traitor, and Erisman is a wee child, so his time will come.)

P.S. Seriously, Hoxie- Mike Miller, Kyle Potter and a wrestler to be named if you trade us Gilliland.
