Bo and Jax were both 16 this time last year, so not quite as bad as you're thinking but still a little more risk than I'd want my 16 year old to take. I'd be fine with my kid wrestling a "minor" college open at 17 if he were good enough to compete but not before.
Amazing wrestler and will be a good fit there. He will be tough to beat this year at Hershey. He will stay down at 121
Your source misunderstood. He is looking to come down for the Beast as well but that's not set in stone.
He's always been my favorite FCA wrestler. I love how he wrestles from the front. We were always told 'stay behind his hips' -- but Botero never got that message. He's always been just fun to watch.
I will be shocked if Aaron isn't at 116 for states if he doesn't grow. He is big, but as we've noted he looked great at S32 at 113. That will be a brutal bracket at states - potentially Seidel, Smith, Bachman, Deputy, plus 2 or 3 other really, really good kids. Aaron is the favorite of course,
Quite possible. I can't imagine how hard it must be for Dwp to get down there, but he just did. Bachman won't surprise me at 114 but never know. This Faith team is one for the ages and might get better next year. Crazy.
Faith has Bachman and Davidheiser to man 107/114. I'd expect most of the time it will be Davidheiser 107, and Bachman 114, but for the big tournaments and the postseason that switches up with Bachman going 107. No inside info, just a guess.
I'd agree unless descent plans get in the way. I'd love to see him at 114 as I think he tears up 107.
I think this Faith Academy could be one of the best PIAA teams of all time. They are like psu. They have multiple backups who would place at AA states. Then some kids who transferred in, had to transfers out cause they didn’t have a sport.
No inside info, but they may automatically get bumped with the new rules PIAA introduced about AA placements and transfers and such, but Faith has done most of its transfers at the MS level so they could be exempt. If the PIAA didn't make everything so complicated it would be easier to know
Looking at their team this year I would expect their lineup to look something like this
That doesn't go into effect until 2024/25. Teams start to accumulate points in that season.
They technically have zero transfers I’m pretty sure. I added up the transfers and success points and I’m pretty sure Notre Dame was the only team with a shot to get bumped up.
He should be back before post season.
I have heard Davidheiser is out at FCA, apparently replaced. A look at the roster and he is not listed. Im not sure where he os headed. Parents have houses in multiple school districts, including Benton.
I'd heard from some in that loop that there was an agreement that Bachman would stay 114 for the year. With that sounding more and more like it's not the case, this move isn't surprising, especially with another Bachman coming up next year who will probably be 107/114 for his career.
