who's looking good on kids circut this year and what high school boys will be in this range who could be tough
The HS kids usually dominate when you get up in weight in 14U. Nick Pursel is probably the best I have seen (I am biased) in kids. Reece Conklin is here as well just coming back from a broken leg in football but if he comes back to form he is a freak. I know Tyler Baughman a FR at Lansing is in this range and very tough. Jake Hattabaugh is also in this range after the HS season. My opinion is the HS kids like Baughman and Hattabaugh would have the leg up on the 8th graders, but the two 8th graders I have listed are tough. I am sure there are a ton of others but I will go with Tyler Baughman and Nick Pursel as my homer picks.

Purcell was supposd to be a 9th grader this year but his dad held him back. So at tournaments like Brute Adidas he will be wrestling kids over a year younger than him so I wouldn't be braging on him too much.
Nick is 14 the same age as many 8th graders. It was asked who is good and Nick is good. Sorry if you don't like it.

Nick is a stud, but has been at 150 all year and don't see him making it to 140. The 8th graders at 140 are no slouches to be sure. Sam Son, SEK, Conner Middleton, Paola, Jayson Tansey, Turner, Garret Kahle, Bonner Springs, as well as Reece are all at this weight right now. If they all stay there this sould be a tough Sub to be sure. Once you hit state you have Matt Reed TOHK, Hattabaugh Brawlers, and I am sure some that I haven't seen. Don't count out these guys as I am betting several will place at state this year.
Good luck to all!
there was another kid from brawlers that was a weight or two up from hattabaugh that was a physical specimen cant remember his name but was real close to this size??????
You are probably talking about Austin Blanchett.
thanks Jim,is he around I thought I seen him at carroll tourney,cant remember what school or if that was him,he is a cut kid
He was at the BC tournament. He goes to Andale.
Reece Conklin, Rusty Yarrow, Justin Smull, Matt Reed
Go to the High School link, look at the State championship brackets, the wrestlers name has the grade they are in under the name. If they are in grade 9 they will probably be in 14&under. Dont know if they will make it to Kids State because I never underestimate an 8th grader.
Paul Morris(COLUMBUS) should win state at 140
Cayleb Campbell, Thomas Rachow, and Dylan Bainter will be tough at 150. coming out of district 4.
Bainter is wrestling 145 this year and i think Rachow will be at 140. rachow wrestled HS at 130 this year so i doubt he'll go all the way up to 150
Reece and Baughman in the finals.
Baughman will be real tough. I believe he pinned Conklin last week at Ottawa.
Don't think it was a pin. Think it was points.
Sorry about the miss info. The score was 2-0 Baughman.
What weight will those two be at? 40?
deeohh..do you really think these eight graders have any kind of edge on the freshman. Im not taking any thing from the eight grade wrestlers but they do not.
..if you see them in the high school state brackets you will most likely in kids
Colten picking from abilene at 150 is not bad but will walk his way to state
