My
Rankings (Before OVAC)
This could be the biggest
match-up in OVAC history. Not just because they are heavyweight either! Hoppel
is trying for his 4th OVAC Championship, and Davia already has 2 State Titles
and could get one more this season!

This weight class was filled with expectations and
to me lived up to all of them! Adam Hoppel Beaver Local
was my number one pick from the start. A very talented wrestler from a talented
wrestling Family! The O.V.A.C. final match at heavy weight was the most
anticipated finals since Moxley/Kennan, and lived up to all expectations. Adam
and Koel did not just dance around, they went at it and gave the crowd
everything they came to see. Adam went on to finish second at the State
Tournament. If my rankings were for the State Tournament
Koel Davia Union Local would have been my number one choice. Koel also is
a second generation heavyweight with a great supporting family. Adam knows how
to win at the OVAC's (a 4 time OVAC Champion), and Koel knows how to win at the
State Finals (a 3 time State Champion)! Koel is continuing his wrestling career
at Lockhaven.
Maurice Hines Indian Creek was lost in the shuffle
with Hoppel and Davia in your weigh class it is easy. Maurice will be a very
strong and quick heavyweight next season and should be a finalist.
Scott Neuenschwander St. Clairsville
was yet another great heavyweight, using light weight
moves on the big boys. Scott was a State placer to finish his high school
career. Lucas Michel Shenandoah was a
surprise placer and should be a wrestler to watch
next season.
Eric Wagner Buckeye Local lived up to his number
six seed. Andrew Fegal Weir
finished seventh at the O.V.A.C.'s and was also a State Champion.
Wesley Haslam River a cold
and hot wrestler finished eighth but did place at the State Tournament. This was
the best weight class at the O.V.A.C. last year in my mind!!!
Also in this weight
class you had 10 State
Qualifiers, and 7 of those
were State Placers and 2
State Champion: Adam Hoppel, Lisbon Beaver, (12),
Scott Neuenschwander, St. Clairsville, (12), Koel
Davia, Belmont Union Local, (12), Wesley Haslam,
Hannibal River, (11), Matt Wiseman,
Oak Glen, 10, C.J. Manning,
Cameron, 12, Lance McKeever, Tyler Consolidated,

Brooke, 12, Kevin
Staub, Wheeling Park,
