Seth Evans; Lenox HS ‘00
Seth was a 3X state placer/2X state finalist/1X state champion from Lenox, IA. He placed 4th as a Sophomore in a loaded 1997 1A 145 lb. bracket that included guys like Rob Hoback (Columbus Jct.), Dustin Destival (Wapsie Valley), Jake Munger (Maynard, West Central), Chris Cory (Bondurant-Farrah, Matt Cornelison (Guthrie-Center), etc. Both of Evans’s losses were to Munger, the returning state champion… Munger beat Seth in the quarterfinals and for 3rd and 4th.
And after that, Seth Evans only had 1 loss in his last 2 years of HS wrestling. And that was in the state finals vs. Kurtis Williamson of Eagle Grove as a Junior at 1A 152. In 2000, he was at 1A 152 again and won a bracket that included future state champion and D3 National Champ, Cody Koenig of Underwood and 2X state champion Mark Mueller of Postville. Evans beat Mueller in the finals, 5-4. This bracket also had future UFC/MMA star, Josh Neer of SE Warren in it.
Seth Evans only gave up 2 takedowns in his last 2 years of wrestling… amazing.
