9th grader Gavin Quiocho is a force this year. Incredible athleticism, strength and intuition. He is at the top of this list in my opinion.

Go ahead and count those titles because these high school kids mean business! If you don’t have the right partner or coaches on the staff you can always fall back on what might have been! I could add plenty more but sometimes you have to feel before you learn! Good luck fellas
the post i was excited about was deleted. Someone thought that 9-10 8th graders could win the high school state tournament this year unless I read it wrong. The only 8th grader imo that could possibly win as an 8th grader would be Raike. Kid is tough as nails and loves the sport. There are many tough freshmen that will make noise this year and if they work hard all year, they will be a force next season also. There will always be kids who dont have a partner to push them,kids who lose passion for the sport, and you have to stay healthy. This is a sport of comers and goers so I stay away from the predictions and let the kids sort it out. The kids that work hard will succeed. The kids who are lazy will get lost in the crowd.

With the fluency in the above, I'm wondering about what's going on late on a Friday night (Saturday morning) and I don't exactly understand what's being said. However, this post is about 9th graders who will be a force "next year". Some people mentioned that some might be a force this year. However, for the most part no one is really predicting multiple state titles for 9th graders. However, if you look back at the State tournament over the past several years you will see ample examples of 9th grade state champions despite your son's experience.

I am sure that will do wonders for the middle school wrestling programs.
I'm not saying all the middle school kids but the ones who are talented enough to start should have the choice.

Let them wrestle both if good enough.

But that is not the way it would work. Every parent who dislikes the middle school coach and thinks their Little Johnny would be the next Kyle Dake if he just had a better coach will be demanding that their kid get to wrestle for the high school and disrupting both the middle school and high school programs. As a coach I can say, nobody needs that.
In addition, very few 8th graders are ready to compete at the high school level. A few are, but not many. to open that can of worms so that a handful of 8th graders can compete in high school just doesn't make sense.

A couple of these boys are still wrestling though they may not be a threat to place this year, but all showed a high ceiling for the future.
All good wrestlers. Regarding the ones I know, Van Meter is regional champ at 160 and Summers is regional champ at 220, Conley beat a state qualifier from last year to get into states this year, and Kuhn finished 2nd at regionals, so all of these freshmen may still have some being "a force" to do this year.

who or what would be the criteria for saying that the 8th grader would be "capable" or what criteria would the said person have to go by to say the kid was "capable" to compete on that level? Im not saying that the kids aren't ready for that level and would love to see kids that young could compete on that level. Might even humble some of the kids that think they are the best when there is a kid that hasn't even got out of middle school that could beat them. But do you just say all 8th graders or all middle schoolers, or set an age limit? Don't leave it to an opinion, you may hurt some mommy or daddies feelings.

It'd be a much better match than you thinking it is an "lol" situation. Kid can rassell.
EDIT: Results from nationals two years ago: Raike (WV) dec Donahue (WV) 5-0

First off if you read my post you would see the letters AA. Someone else may need to wake up. But now that I looked at AAA 106 I feel Raike would still win it.
