I am a fan of both of these wrestlers. Matt Baker is the best wrestler I have ever seen who did not wrestle before high school. I think Matt has raised his game every year he has been a wrestler. It has been great following Matt's progress and achievements over the last seven years. I believe Matt will become an excellent wrestling coach someday.
My son was a high school teammate of Jed when Jacob was a sophomore and Jed was a senior. Aquinas won the 5A State Championship that year in 2007. Jed Mamie was a star on that team and the 2005 6A Aquinas state championship team. Jed Mamie had a great career at Aquinas. Jed is very athletic and a talented wrestler. I still believe he would have been a great Greco Roman wrestler if he had wrestled in the Olympic styles. Jed was very good at lifting guys his size and bigger off of the mat from his feet. I did not see another bigger wrestler do that as well as Jed. I am happy for Jed that he is on the mat again and evidently wrestling very well.
