That's where he projected put of high school. He entered an open tournament a few months back, and performed well, but did lose a match or two if memory serves.
I'd think he'd certainly be in the running for a spot next year, but a senior Cutch (with a full off season to better prepare for 97) and a healthy Cassar will be a tough challenge. Kellan Stout will be in the mix as well....wow!
