The Ten Unanswered questions of the 2008-2009 Season: Florida Part 1

Brandon Scott | Profile
October 22, 2008

I have been, and will always be, a glutton for information. Much to my chagrin, wrestling is not like football, baseball and other mainstream sports, which means that good journalistic information on our sport is sparse. That being the case, I scour the IInternet looking diligently for articles worth reading. In my zeal, a few years ago, I happened upon this site:

ohiowrestlingsite.com

I am not sure who maintains this site, but without a doubt, when it comes to intelligent, intriguing and thorough journalism as it relates to wrestling, this site is the best hands down. New articles aren't produced often enough, although I am sure that is an issue of quality versus quantity. Considering the site is obviously dedicated to Ohio Wrestling, I often thought of the same questions being asked for my home state of Florida. So, without further ado, and hopefully, the blessings of my journalistic compadres -

The Ten Unanswered Questions of the 2008-2009 Season: Florida

Who is Florida's 3rd Best Wrestler?

The state, and the rest of the nation recognizes the names of Eric Grajales and Kendrick Sanders. Sanders is a two-time Junior Greco National Champion, with an Outstanding Wrestler award to boot. Sanders is a two-time State Champion and is unlikely to be tested this season. Grajales, who recently to commited to the University of Michigan, is a former USA Wrestling Greco Athlete of the Year recipient, multiple-time Fargo Champion, and undefeated in his high school career. A year after beating Jordan Oliver at the Super 32 tournament, the wrestler ranked #1 in the nation at 135 lbs (over the much-hyped David Taylor) has nothing left to prove, and after not entering in the Super 32 this season, his first test probably won't come until Dapper Dan Classic (yes, I am assuming he gets the invite).

So beyond those two who exactly, is, or will emerge as the third best wrestler in the state. At first glance, the names are:

Gabriel Bird (Osceola; Junior)
Joe Cozart (Brandon; Junior)
Wilson Mettellus (South Dade, Senior)
Alex Eggers (Osceola; Junior)
Jacob Harmer (Gainesville, Senior)
Eric Chandler (Braddock, Senior)

It is possible that Florida's third best wrestler will not come from this list, however, it is very unlikely. Consider this, 5 of the 6 are participating in the Super 32 tournament, where they can cement themselves among the elite. Bird is a three-time state placer (4th, 5th) and recently placed 3rd at the nation's toughest tournament - the Junior Freestyle National Championships, held annually in Fargo, ND. Undoubtedly, he made himself a lot of money, scholarship-wise, and a strong showing at the Super 32 could catapult him to the top. He is in the rugged 145lb bracket along with another of Florida's elite - Mr. Joey Cozart.

Son of Russ, brother of Rocky (what, no 'R' to begin his first name??), Joey is also a multiple-time placer at Fargo. Albeit, in the less-folkstyle style of Greco, this two-time state champ has great folkstyle skills. He has just two losses on his folkstyle record, both coming in his freshman year, to defending state champ Anthony Jorge. He avenged those two losses by defeating Jorge in the state finals. Cozart has a huge gas-tank and his plethora of upper-body attacks makes him dangerous to anyone he wrestles. Make the wrong decision, get too careless, attack uncautiously and you will be on your back.

Mettellus, who transferred to South Dade a year after finishing as a State Runner-up at Monsignor Pace, has really reaped the benefits of workout partners Tico Baez and Kendrick Sanders. He has not won a State Championship, but after placing at the NHSCA Junior National tournament, defeating, among others, New York's Ian Paddock, Mettelus has jumped on a lot recruiting boards. A phenomenal athlete, who is not a typical South Dade wrestler, Mettelus, it seems, simply needs a platform, and he will do well. Registered at the second toughest weight at the Super 32, if he performs well on that platform, and makes it to the finals, or can manage to upend some of the top names in the bracket, he might be Florida's 3rd best wrestler.

Braddock Senior Eric Chandler was destined to become Dade County's first 4x State Champion until being de-railed by a game Kyle Grueninger in the State Finals.  That match is on Flo for everyone to see, and let's just say that I do not agree with the officiating of that match.  It is an official's job to be invisible, and that match was really taken away from the competitors.  Chandler has rarely been tested in Florida, and has placed at FILA Cadets and Juniors.  Included in that, is a win over PA AAA State Champion Billy Chamberlain, who is now wrestling for Old Dominion.  Chandler seems likely to win a State Title this year, probably at 119 or 125.  He is not wrestling at the Super 32 tournament, but I would imagine he will compete at NHSCA Senior Nationals.  If he does compete at that tournament, he will place, and my personal hunch is top 4.

Former State Champ Alex Eggers, also has a chance to make waves at the Super 32. A specimen unlike most, Eggers was a State Champ as a sophomore, and was on track to capture a second, but moved up two weight classes to help the team (and his brother), and run into buzzsaw Ivan Lopuschanksy. Between Eggers and Bird, one will have to contend with Kendrick Sanders, either at 145 or 152 at the State Championships in Lakeland. Finally, my personal favorite, Jacob Harmer. Ever the bridesmaid, Harmer is a two-time third-placer finisher at the Florida State Championships. His losses have been close battles with two-time champion Vince Maul. However, Harmer is one bad call away from winning at least ONE championship, after the Zebra decided it was possible to stall TWICE in a span of 13 seconds. Don't let his lack of Freestyle/Greco achievements fool you, Harmer is a pinner who has put some of our nation's best wrestlers on their back. Included in that is a 4-2 loss to Blair Academy's Ed Ruth (where he did turn Ruth) and a first-period pin of Georgia's Ethan Blackstock. If he can manage the shark-infested waters at the Super 32 and defeat Ruth, as I have predicted, he will be Florida's 3rd best wrestler.

Will David Craig Fulfill His Vast Potential?

Considered one of, if not the greatest wrestler to leave the Sunshine State, Brandon's David Craig left with one of the largest, brightest and most complete resumes any recruit could possibly want. Four State Championships? Check. Undefeated Record? Check. Ironman Championship? Check. Beast of the East Title? Check. Fargo Double Champion? Check. Dapper Dan Winner? Check. Ranked as consensus No. 1 recruit? Check. I am sure I am missing more accolades, but the point is, Craig could do no more to cement his legacy as a potential 4x All-American and future NCAA Champion. Being the great teammate that he is, Craig wrestled up a weight at 184 lbs and still managed to make the round of 12. Fast-forward to sophomore season, and a beefed-up Craig is losing close matches to good wrestlers (Rocco Caponi, 1-3; Christian Sinnot, 2-5) and decent wrestlers (Dave Sullivan, Pitt, 2-6; Phil Bomberger, Penn State, 5-9), but not showing the improvement one would think would come from year 1 to year 2. His sophomore year was marred by October knee surgery, which, I am sure had a lot to do with lack of improvement, and after academic issues, Craig was forced to sit out the second semester. Now, as Craig enters his Junior year, Craig is either ranked outside of the top 15 or not ranked at all in most preseason polls.

Will Craig AA this year, and possibly bring home Florida's next NCAA Division I wrestling championship? Right now, word out of the Lehigh camps, Craig looks ready to go. After getting his academics in order, changing his major, and letting his knee heal, Craig is excited to wrestle for the new regime. Remember, Pat Santoro is the new head coach, and if he can do for him, what he did for Hudson Taylor at Maryland, look out world!

Who Will Inherit The Throne?

Upon the graduation of the current crop of seniors, who then, will take the crown as the state's crown jewel. I've already mentioned Joe Cozart and Gabriel Bird, and right now they are the front-runners. But who else? Other than the two I just mentioned, the most likely candidates will come from my list - Levi Clemons, Earl Hall, Rossi Bruno, Clark Glass, Chase Gordon, Wally Figaro, Mike Ettore, Geordon Speiller, Matt Nereim, Lee Wildes, and Tyler Liberatore.

It is true that I place an awful lot of credibility on the Junior and Cadet National Freestyle/Greco Championships. But as the saying goes, "It's where state champs go to die." This is not meant as a diss to my brethren who compete in folkstyle year-round, but it is hard to judge talent based on in-state results. That may be not be the case in the future, as the NHSCA Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Nationals continue to improve in competition and quality.

This past summer, Florida cemented its status as great Greco state, as Clemons, Bruno and Figaro all reached the Cadet Finals. But in reality it all starts with the Brandon Wrestling Club and their program. Glass, Bruno and Liberatore are rising freshman, Ettore and Figaro, Sophomores. Glass won a state championship as a 7th grader, but could not repeat that feat up two weight classes, at 119lbs a year ago. Brandon has a pretty complete weightlifting program, and once Glass's strength catches up with his skills, he will be mentioned as a elite national prospect. Bruno finished second in Greco Cadets, and also has a state ring to his claim. Ettore finished 6th in Greco Cadets and is a hard-charging bull of a wrestler.

Finally Double All-America Figaro. A transplant from Puerto Rico (a la Franklin Gomez), Figaro is a great athlete who placed third at states a year ago, losing to three-timer Richie Dehnz of Palmetto Ridge in the semis. Finally, Tyler Liberatore is the third middle-school state champ to enter the lineup for the Eagles this season. Word out of Brandon, is that out of the three, Liberatore may end up being the best.

Earl Hall is a former schoolboy double national titlist, who did not compete at Fargo, but still has an impressive resume. He was an undefeated state champion as a freshman, and has a win over Blair's vaunted Mike Grey. Placing high at Super 32 is must, if he wants to ascend to the throne. Gordon, Wildes and Nereim of the JETS Wrestling Club, (Nereim wrestles for Winter Springs High, Wildes and Gordon for Oviedo) are also Cadet Greco All-Americans. Gordon did not place this past summer as a first year junior, but if he can recapture the form, he has the ability to win a State Championship. It won't be easy, depending on what weight class he competes, as Mettelus, Bird, and Sanders are anywhere between 135-145, and so is he.

Wildes is a JV State Champion who is definitely a greco specialist, but we will see if his folkstyle skills have improved enough to step on the podium in Lakeland. Nereim, also, a Cadet Greco placer is also state placer, losing in the finals to South Dade's Three-Timer James "Rat" Williams. He will most likely end up at 130lbs during the season, and if so, should be the favorite to win his first State Title.

Clemons won a Cadet Greco title this past summer, and the junior to-be only placed 6th at a loaded 160lb bracket a year ago. He is the clear favorite in 3A at 171lbs this year.

My pick? After Bird and Cozart, I really like Earl Hall, with his toughness and athleticism. Should he compete in Fargo next summer, he will stake his claim as Florida's prize wrestler.

Will South Dade defeat Brandon Again?

No doubt this will be the season's best dual. A year ago, South Dade stopped Brandon's national-record dual match win streak. This year the favorites in their respective classes will battle at the super-tough District 16 Duals, just before Christmas break. South Dade returns 9 state qualifiers, while Brandon also returns 9 state qualifiers and ADDS 4 former state champions. I have not been able to confirm Earl Hall's transfer to South Dade, and at present, it seems unlikely. Nonetheless, the Bucs did add Andres Montero, Isaiah Varona and Robert Rojas. I'm not sure where these guys fit into the lineup, but this dual is going to be a barn-burner from the start. Here are some of the great, possible matchups, and remember, even though some of the Bucs do not have great national credentials, they are senior-laden, athletic and well-coached.

Maurico Villanueva vs Ryan Renkey/Terry Dawson/Sean Padgett
Quintavian McPherson vs Rossi Bruno
Josh Williams vs Tyler Liberatore/Clark Glass
Wilson Mettelus vs Eric Grajales/Nick Hutchinson
Elyse Fontaine vs Eric Grajales/Nick Hutchinson
Kendrick Sanders vs Joe Cozart/Kevin Timothy
Luis Montalvo vs Zaq Berridge/Mike Ettore/Wally Figaro
Stephon Moore vs Zaq Berridge/Mike Ettore/Wally Figaro
The dual meet will be decided in the light weights, as a classic match-up of youth vs experience will play itself out.

Who won't make Brandon's line-up?

Brandon has a problem that only a few wrestling programs in this nation have (and that includes college). How do you fit 14 good wrestlers into 9 weight classes? Here is what Brandon returns:

Ryan Renkey (AZ state champion) 112
Sean Padgett (State runner-up) 112
Terry Dawson (State runner-up) 112
Rossi Bruno (State Champion) 119
Tyler Liberatore (State Champion) 125
Clark Glass (State Champion) 130
Eric Grajales (Everything) 135
Nick Hutchinson (State Runner-up) 140
Tom Timothy (State Champion) 145
Joe Cozart (State Champion) 145
Wally Figaro (State Third) 152
Keith Koziel (State Fifth) 152
Zaq Berridge (State Third) 160
Mike Ettore (State Qualifier) 160

At first glance, it will be interesting to see if any of Brandon's great 112lbers can even make 103. My bet is on Renkey. So now a battle ensues between Padgett and Dawson for the spot at 112. That's one State Runner-up will NOT be in the lineup. Next up is the logjam and 145 and 152. Between Cozart and Timothy, I like Cozart's chances at 152 better. Not by a large margin, but Cozart will be able to handle all the state's 152lbers save one, Kendrick Sanders. I think Berridge wins the spot at 160, and even if Ettore moves up to 189, either Figaro or Koziel will be out of the lineup and severely under-weight at 171lbs (and so, for that matter, will Ettore). Coach Cozart will do what's best for the team, and, unfortunately, some very talented, accomplished and deserving wrestlers will not be wrestling in the postseason.

How many State Champs will Brandon Have?

Brandon seems to be a shoo-in to at least match their own state record of six state champions in one year. The question is, can they beat their own record (which they've set twice)? Best case scenario:

Renkey - 103
Padgett/Dawson - 112
Bruno - 119
Liberatore - 125
Glass - 130
Grajales - 135
Hutchinson - 140
Timothy - 145
Cozart - 152
Berridge - 160

That's a possible 10 champs with 5 automatics, in Renkey (if he gets there), Bruno, Grajales, Timothy and Cozart. Padgett/Dawson is pretty close to automatic, while Liberatore, Glass, Hutchinson and Berridge will wait to see what the rest of Class 2A brings to the table.

the south florida lighting lost to the PA Premium by one point due to criteria. We also had to have refs changed due to the, well, she shouldnt be calling the quater-finals of that tournament. PA destroyed the next two teams placing 2nd to Diesal.

so they messed it up, for 152 its suppsoed to be KYLE Koziel, not Keith.
Keith graduated a couple years ago and wrestles for The Citadel.

Out of that list, you can count only 4, possibly 5 which are truly Brandon products. No issue with Brandon's success, but they are not a true public high school program, but a wrestling academy, ala Blair, recruiting nationally. If they break their own record, it will be their latest out of state recruit that puts them over the top.

I wrestled in Florida . You guys that are doggin the Florida boys shouldn't.
They don't have the wrestling culture you guys have up there. They compete tough and I myself am proud to see them do as well as they do . I am living in SC now and its tough to compete against football and baseball for athletes. We all know if you wrestle the best you become the best. There are a few pockets of good wrestling cities in the south east. The best teams cant get but a hand full of great teams to wrestle or travel a long way to get em. They still have to wrestle the average teams alot of the time. Up north you guys can go around the corner and wrestle great guys all the time. Brandon Scott I like the article about kids from Brandon High more then that a Great Coach to over come alot of non wrestling culture in Florida. Go Florida Boys

Hey Miami:
Get off birds jock! the only reason Parrado beat him is the miami ref screwed him by not counting the TWO takedowns on the edge that were clearly in! I was there. I saw it! he beat #4 ranked Clemente from NY and #14 ranked Knapp from GA and placed in the largest/deepest wt class in Fargo! oh an fyi he's beaten figari before, beat montero head to head several times and wrestled fields to a 1 pt match. you remember fields right? hes the guy who made sanders quit at oviedo.

Nebman   October 23, 2008 at 8:20am
I would be Cozart goes 145 which pushes Timothy to 140 and possibly knocks Hutchinson out. Also I would be Berridge bumps up for the team and goes 171. He has always wrestled tough and him and Harmer in the finals will be a great match

Joe the Ragman is confused Brandon could wrestle any team in the country from 103- 171
As far as Bruno being tough. Lets see you are talking a few years ago, since then he won Fila, took 2nd at Fargo this year, i believe won Iowa 2 years ago. So he is either really really lucky or just plain good! I will go with good!

lol... that's not due respect actually. brandon and south dade can/would hang with DECENT PA teams... all you have to do is follow the South Florida Lightning Team... if a few guys make the trip (tico baez, Ivan Lopuschansky) they would have made the finals. south florida has proven they can hang with the big boys in folkstyle, and brandon is young this year, and might have trouble, but there is no doubting there talent, as they prove it year in and year out placing MULTIPLE guys at cadet and junior nationals every year. to say they couldn't HANG with DECENT teams is uninformed. you take the team south dade has this year, and put them in PA, and i bet they are pretty decent.

Ohiowrestlingsite is run by Justin Kerr aka the admin. I agree with you Brandon that it is intelligent, intriguing and thorough journalism as it relates to wrestling. This site is the best hands down. The reason you dont see that many new articles is Mr Kerr has a full time job as a lawyer as well a woman who he must keep happy ( not sure if it is a wife but he mentioned in the forum he didnt go to tOSU wrestle offs due to him getting only so many free pass nights).

I'm not making excuses for Bird, but his state tournament performance a year is not indicative of his talent. Like I said, National Results is what matters, and Bird has a 3rd at one of the toughest weights at Fargo Juniors, defeating Zach Clemente in the process. Parrado, figari and montero have done nothing against out of state wrestlers, so its hard to judge whether they are actually better than Bird (a possibility, I acknowledge) or if they had good weekends, and Bird the opposite.

It is simply amazing that you left Miami Braddock's Eric Chandler out of that list. He won states as a FR and Soph. He took 2nd last year after wrestling only about a month after coming back from an injury and a screw job by the ref in the finals. He has proven himself consistently at the national level. I guess that is why they wrestle the season.

he has a great arm bar series... he was down 5 (somewhere's around there) in the third period of his finals match and turned his opponent (at least) twice to win the match. How is he not tough... placed 2nd at cadet greco losing only to Jesse Thielke. He may not be that fun to watch, but the kid wins, and beats tough, top competition

Bruno is at 119? Returning state champ? Must not be that tough in Florida!! I seen him at Tulsa two years ago where he placed 5th or 6th. I wasn't very impressed with him. Although he does have a descent arm bar series.
