My son wrestled one of their recruits last year


from Dayton Christian, he was a senior and my boy was a junior, and he validates a couple of Jersey's points (not that Jersey needs validating :-) ).

It was at the 120 lb weight, and the boy was taller than my boy, who was a tall 20 lb last year. He probably wasn't 6', more like 5'10", but still tall for that weight class. He was on their roster at the beginning of this school year, but I checked just now, and he isn't on there, so that agrees somewhat with the tons of recruits and weeding out the stars...plus, the Raleigh location to mid-westerners kinda fits there, too, probably.

The kid had placed at Super32 once or twice, and placed in Ohio 2 or 3 times, and was on a loaded high school team (at least compared to most WV high school teams :-) ), so he wasn't bad, obviously. They also had Nate Carr's son on the team (although, I believe he transferred to a different high school this year).

On a side note, the kid had a motor that wouldn't quit, Logan (my son) was up on him late but gave up a late td for the tie and then a td in ot to lose, and it was because Logan was a little tired, and the Dayton kid was still as fresh as a daisy. It was a fun match to watch, a lot of scrambling and back and forth.
