Maybe that is over stating it a little but not much...I gotta give props to Geary the 285 from Topeka. He does have to be one of the tops in the state. And for me to say that about a HWT is amazing in itself. That is not to slight Conklin-Wright, Reed, Bontz, Hood, my son or anyone else. But I have been around wrestling my whole life. And I have very rarely if ever seen a 285 that wrestles and moves like that. Nathan Butler might grow into that, but Geary hits shot, scrambles like a middleweight. I was impressed! Atticus Disney was awesome but he wrestled like a heavyweight. (One with a badass headlock), but a heavyweight. Geary wrestles like a middle weight, but is huge.

Hats off to him, he rolled through a bracket with 2-#1's and 3-#2's in it with ease. He was correctly awarded the OW. When was the last time a 285 got OW? I had probably 5-6 people start coversations with me about how impressive he was. I have never met the kid, but wanted to give him his due.

Maybe I am overstating it, but I see excellent wrestlers around the state, but can't remember one like him.

He is impressive. What's more impressive is the fact he started wrestling in 9th grade. I agree with your assessment. I will add the fact that he is a good kid. He is a respectful young that can wrestle like a beast.

I concur he is an impressive athlete and only a Junior! I spoke with his father at the Mission Valley tourney and from what I can tell is a well-rounded 3 sport athlete!! Also one who has to watch his intake to make the 285 class!!


Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
