Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Underated Wrestlers

Who are some of the most underrated wrestlers that just don't get enough respect?

Lee Larson from Manhattan is a pretty good wrestler that no one knows. His record this year is somewhere around 20-7, with losses coming to Scott from Smith Center, Marrs from Clay Center(I think 3 close losses to this guy), Pietrizljoihrhpxzzod from Salina South, Butler from JC, and Ehret from Washburn Rural. That is quite a list of wrestlers to have to wrestle in one year. A lot of these matches have been close too. Watch for this guy to shock a few people at state. He has placed 3rd at Newton and 4th at Beloit, with loses to Marrs at Newton and Marrs again at Beloit as well as Scott.

Ryan heffley 275lbs from Basehor-Linwood records around 20-5 with two of them loses comin from payne then beats payne 2-0 in the finals at paola.Tournament finishes 1st at effingham, 2nd at bonner springs, 4th at bobcat classic ,an 1st at paola.

Taylor Bauer from Olathe East. He's been wrestling a lot better this year. His record is +20-7 (or something like that, I'm not sure). But he's lost to Cisper and Davis, both of whom are in the Best 171 poll, in overtime. He should fare well at State.

Zack Hentzen, the maize 140 pounder. I've gone 1-1 with him this year and I can tell you that he's going to be a very good wrestler in a couple of years.

Taylor Bauer is ranked 5th so I wouldn't really consider him underrated. He did wrestle very good against Davis but then he ended up losing to the Coffeyville kid on the back side.

Nate boyer is good. started out the year rough but has really come on. He placed 3rd at Newton and first at Beloit. He is a jr. at 171

Bauer still doesn't get any respect though...besides the rankings. He's got screwed in many tournments this year because of the way he was seeded.

That may be, but if he's underrated then he should beat the seeding

Well seeds don't really mean that much. They go by your winning percentage and who has beat who. Not by how good of a wrestler you are for the most part. And if he is getting screwed on seeds, that should be added motivation to win.

It wasn't the seeding that screwed him over at P.V. it was Davis's unrelenting assualt on his balls.

I wrestled Davis in the finals and he seems to have a real anger issue too. I might have noticed that in his match against Davis.

alex currie....having a strong season after being behind ali sultani and brett runyon last yr.

bswitz171 for awhile I thought you were Davis. But since your not. I will come out and say: I didn't like Davis very much at Paire View. He wrestles very dirty and starts with a tight waste (which no ref ever picked up on). I don't even know the guy but I cheered against him hoping someone else would beat him. So I guess at point I cheered for you bswitz171. The IRONY.

Yes I do know what you were talking about with the tight waist but he also is moving forward when they blow the whistle which gave him more of an advantage. I was watching the match on tape today and I noticed he seemed to like to ride my junk also. Whether he wrestles dirty or not he's still a very good wrestler. I wish I would have been more prepared and I wish we could have wrestled before 11:45.

That dude was huge and a good wrestler but I would like to see someone beat him.

Davis only did one thing wrong at Prairie View....and that was when he had his leg on the kids arm...that was it... He wrestles legal... It's called... "extreme legal pain". You only wish someone could beat him, cuz you never would be able to do it yourself.

I may see him at state(saying that I qualify first). Did you wrestle at the pv tournament?

Davis is a bad *** and you all are just mad because none of you can beat him.

If you are referring to my comments I did say he was a very good wrestler. As a wrestler I don't blaim him for trying to gain any advantage possible and for the most part everythang was legal and he did cause much pain. As for beating him, I do believe I can do so but as of right now he's beat me pretty good and I can't really say anything. I believe the score was 5-1.
