#1 Renteria, Keaton Geerts To Meet At NOC
Last year IAwrestle introduced the Night of Conflict dual held inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena that featured 16 matches in which some of the best high school talent from the state of Iowa went toe-to-toe with some of the best from around the country. Once again FloWrestling is proud to broadcast Night of Conflict, Friday, October 14, LIVE here. Check out complete 2015 Night of Conflict matches and interviews here

Earlier this week IAwrestle announced the first match-up of NOC2, and it will be an Iowa-Illinois border battle. Newly crowned #1 and former Hawkeye commit, Jason Renteria, will do battle with Iowa state champ Keaton Geerts. 

Renteria has been a mainstay in the rankings since his Freshman year, and after post Fargo weight changes, recently grabbed the top spot at 132. The OPRF stud is an Illinois state champ, and two-time Ironman runner-up. Renteria competed in the inaugural Night of Conflict a year ago where he knocked off Iowa recruit Jack Wagner, 7-5. 



His opponent is Iowa state champ Keaton Geerts. Despite not currently being ranked, Geerts has proven that he can beat just about anyone. At Cadet World Team Trials in Akron, Geerts knocked off #7 Joey Silva, #9 Alex Thomsen, and #15 Beau Bartlett on his way to a seventh place finish. At FloNationals, Geerts knocked off #12 Jet Taylor and KJ Fenstermacher on his way to a fifth place finish.
