One statewide media publication has named three juniors on this year’s Adel-Desoto-Minburn Tigers wrestling team in their preseason rankings. The website IA Wrestle made their preseason rankings for all three classes of wrestlers public on Tuesday. ADM third year high school students Andrew Flora (113), Hogan Hopewell (138), and Nolan Harsh (152) are considered one of the top 10 wrestlers in their respective weight divisions in Class 2A.
Flora garnered the highest ranking of the three. Flora, a fourth-place finisher in last year’s state wrestling tournament at 106 pounds, is rated as Class 2A’s No. 2 ranked wrestler. Harsh, a two-time state qualifier, enters the new season ranked sixth at 152 pounds. Hopewell was named the eighth best wrestler to begin the season at 138 pounds. ADM wrestling opens their season at home Tuesday in a triangular dual against Ballard and North Polk.
