152 LBS HIGH SCHOOL RANKINGS

Joey is not my kid. He is just an incredible athlete that deserves more respect. I know that many colleges wanted Joey and he choose Mizzu after visiting some schools. Yes, the west coast allowed a diamond to escape. As far as putting other kids down sorry if it came out that way I never meant to do so. There are a few kids ranked above him that he not only beat but handled. If Joey lost to anyone by 9 points I do not believe he would be still ranked. I'm not going to write another thing on here because everyone wants to be a smart ass from the other side of thier computer. I've allways said rankings mean nothing so I should really take my own advice.

Sensative? We are not naive to believe that Hall is 37. Your intentions with the post were to insult Hall for being older, or that is how it came off as.

I feel like I am talking to a brick wall, so I will concede to your lack of understanding.

Pablo,

No where in his post did he infer that Hall had an unfair advantage over his opponent. He was just asking if Hall was held back, and that was it. You took it a step farther by slighting Hall. Whether that was your intention or not, you still did.
I will accept your statement as an apology. Because we all know, as a grown man, you have some humility by admitting your post was ambigous and came off harshly.
In the end, Hall will be one of the best. Even though he wrestles in Minnesota, he is still a Michigander and a product of the Davison youth system ran by one the best coaches in the country, Roy Hall (no relation to Mark).

Pablo, obviously you intentions were to slight Mark Hall due to being older. Yes, he is ONE year older than most of his counterparts, but that doesn't negate the fact he has won the past TWO state championships in Minnesota, the first coming as a 14 yr old wrestling 18 yr olds. He was a runner-up in Kentucky, albeit not a front tier wrestling state, as a 13 yr old wrestling 18 yr olds. He holds no advantage over anyone he is wrestling right now. He would still be wrestling Cadets, even if he was a sopre. He would still be participating in the state tournament, even if he was a sopre. He would still beating top tier guys, even if he was a sopre. Get off his case. This kid loves wrestling and will be successful at every level

Why do so many folks around here find it necessary to put kids down to build their their kids up? I promise you it really doesn't matter if your kid is ranked 19th or 14th . Tigers obviously didnt care and they're big dogs.

I'm curious if Cali schools schools let a backyard kid like Lavallee slip away? I already asked once so I'll ask twice: did any other programs actively recruit Joey L?

pablo, get a clue. Hall was a first year Cadet last year.

Aside from Lavallee's seemingly low ranking, which you backed up really well. I think you guys do a great job covering so many great wrestlers! Nevada doesn't have a college wrestling program so it is real easy for our kids to get looked over. Hopefully you guys at flo can help these kids get some more from colleges just by covering them.
Mr. Ellmaker:
I don't know if you're privy to this info but do you know how many colleges actively recruited Joey Lavallee?

I brought Lavallee to Super 32 and he not only got screwed but was wrestling with a broken hand. I do not want to argue with you just want you to remeber that some coach from Reno NV called it, Joey Lavallee NCAA Champ.

While most kids were dropping weight, Lavallee handled everyone at senior nationals while going up a weight class. He aslo controlled (cpags), the flo champ earlier this season. How come you always rank this kid so low? He is by far the best kid to ever come from Nevada and I know once he gets into Missouri's wrestling room he will become a star. Just realy think he deserves more respect.

I was able to watch a couple of Mark Hall videos and that kid is a phenom. I read somewhere that he's a January baby and it looks like he was he was held back a year. Is that true?

I hope he doesn't get bored or burnt out because he can be one of the all time greats.
I'm glad that Corey Rasheed finally showed up in the top twenty. He destroyed his bracket at Junior National last week. My best guess is that he and Hall will bump up weight next season. I'd love to see those two get after it. Corey Rasheed is a pinning machine.

Looks like Short is going to drop and the freshman is #1. Who was the last freshman to be #1 in the country at 152? He may be the first.

1. Pearce
2. Collica
3. Parsons
4. Hall
5. Short

Corey Rasheed belongs on this list. Why does NJ get so much respect if NY keeps beating NJ in best wrestler duals like this past weeks Pinning Down Autism meets?
