I'm not privy to any insider information or anything, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say a guy with a win over the NCAA runner up and several other qualifiers is probably beating a guy going .500 in open tournaments.Quote:

Hwt - Simonson 70% certain - 100% if he stays out and I think he will
I hear Spangler wins vs Sorenson in the wrestling room and will be at 165 if he continues to beat him next year. Either one will be an AA if they can stay healthy.
Ward looked pretty ripped to me at 197. How about just letting him go big and wrestling 285?
It's an interesting thought. There are rumors out there that Simonson has been accepted to Vet School and will not be with the team next year. If Ward could bulk up to a healthy 225, his quickness could be problematic for bigger hwts. His offensive "pace" is probably better suited for hwt.Quote:

I'm about 60 miles south and east of Algona.Quote:

I'm from Algona and I think Kyle is getting very little if any scholarship money. If that's the case I wouldn't blame him, but to go from a walkon to a National Qualifier and put 4 years into the program and skip your senior year would have to be very tough.Quote:

Heard he will need surgery, not sure on the extent of surgery or what need to be repaired.Quote:

Algona 1980 - Wrestled Kevin Dresser in Sectionals, Districts, Conference. Got 2nd in all of them. Just didn't get 2nd to him at State, darn. Ran around with Mitch Leonard a lot in earlier years.Quote:
