looks like the recruiting paid off...can't wait to see who ballard reloads with next year

anybody heard transfers

ICW was without the older Hathaway, Koethe, and I have not seen Max Pelfrey's name all year for ICW when those wrestlers return I would predict a little different outcome to this dual.

How long is Koethe's suspension? 1/3 of the season?

Ballard is the state's best wrestling team for the second straight year.

tehy will continue to be unless other teams in state can start recruiting and get away with a loop hole

I'm pretty sure anyone in the state can be the best, but it just happens to be Ballard. There's no tricks or loop holes about it.

isnt the ICW HWT not from Iowa City....didnt he "transfer in" or am I thinking of someone else

 

[pin2win]

o yea they both have recruiting backgrounds im not supporting either teams on that aspect. firm believer in these kids should wrestle where they grew up and not transfer when 8th graders!

First off Ballard is not the best team in the state this year! Second, dual meets are all about matchups no different than college. I would take a healthy ICW, WSR, Bettendorf or Denver-Trapoli over Ballard this year.

In this day and age all of those teams have had move ins or transfer so you cant use that as an excuse anymore it sucks but they have all had them.

The Plefrey's are from Newton.

You can throw in Don Bosco as well that I would take over Ballard this year.

again not saying its just these teams...no excuses could care less who wins between these teams

i just don't think they should be able to have move ins/transfers.....i know its up to the parents but something needs to be addressed on a state level
