Texas has Allen HS, Allen Eagles Have HD Ch Jerry Best, He Talks to Takedown

Des Moines, Iowa

He has 3 National titles of his own. Now he puts all his focus and energy in to developing one of the finest high school programs in the nation.

Jerry Best is the head coach at Allen High School 20 minutes north of Dallas, Texas. I’m not alone in my study of this program. WIN Magazine has them ranked in the preseason as number 10. The two-time defending state champion Eagles are loaded!  State champions Jarrod Trotter, Oliver Pierce and Nick Cobb and runner-up Bo Nickal all having been impressive at Fargo.

Allen’s Bo Nickal is a highly thought of recruit with a ton of potential. Nickal had a tremendous weekend at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls where he won the 2011 USA Wrestling Pre Season Nationals.Bo Nickal of Best Trained Wrestling wrestled to a perfect 6-0 record to win his first tournament of the 2011 pre season. Below are the results after receiving a first round Bye

Champ. Round 2: Bo Nickal (Best Trained) over Jesse Etherington (charles city) (Pin Pin 1:46)

Champ. Round 3: Bo Nickal (Best Trained) over Mitchell Hartwig (Unattached) (Pin Pin 1:35)

Champ. Round 4: Bo Nickal (Best Trained) over Alex Griffin (Fleeger Wrestling) (Dec Dec 3-0)

Quarterfinal: Bo Nickal (Best Trained) over Takil Agnew (Powers Wrestling Club) (Dec Dec 6-1)

Semifinal: Bo Nickal (Best Trained) over Jordan Henrickson (MATPAC) (Dec Dec 4-2)

1st Place Match: Bo Nickal (Best Trained) over Kaleb Baker (Wave Wrestling Club) (Dec Dec 8-4)

Coach Jerry Best returns six placewinners — all in top four — and nine state qualifiers. There could be a possible late start considering the football team, a recent winner on ESPN2, is ranked No. 4 nationally by the NHSCA.

Stay tuned as the season begins and the action unfolds. We’ll have more from Allen HS in Texas.
