Byron 152

[steamerfan21303]

I was wondering, since Peirtz is staying at 152, and with the Byron sectional being stacked this year at that weight, (6 of the top ten ranked, and another one who is on the best of the rest list), is anyone dropping to 145 or bumping to 160? All three weight classes will be tough, don't get me wrong, but with Bauer, a proven contender at 160 having beaten Troye twice, and Blanton a freshman having beat a ranked AA kid, is there a justafible reason that they would drop, or is it a team thing. I could possibley see Bauer from Oregon doing it for the team, but why did Blanton, from my knowledge Richmond-Burton doest have a full squad, and if they do, don't think they are contenders. You have to beat the best to be the best, and whoever wins or places at 152 this year, will deffinitley prove that one of course, but just intrested of any late season weight movements at or around this weight. Any insight would be great, thanks in advance.

When Blanton dropped to 152, Jake Vetter (a soph - see BOTR) dropped to 160. That was their plan from the beginning of the season and they both have a great a chance to go to state at those weights. I don't think Blanton will be even slightly intimidated by the competition at 152.

I wasn't sayin that he was intimidated, but to me I thought that both of the Burton kids had just of good of chances, if not better at 160 and 171. Good luck to both because 52, 60, and 71 will all be tough this year. Didn't mean any harm by it.
