Freshman of the Year

District 6 had it's best freshman group ever this year, so there were several choices including 6 state medalwinners..my picks are

AAA - Andrew Alton.. Central Mountain (130)

Having won a Cadet National title in Fargo over the summer, Alton's success was expected and he didn't disappoint. At states, after a tough OT loss in the 1st round, he was dominant in winning 5 straight to take 3rd place. Look for a couple state titles in his future.

AA - A J Schopp.. Tyrone (103)

Schoop served notice at KOM that he'd be a force at 103. It seemed like he kept getting better as the season wore on. A tight 1 point OT loss to then #1 Joe Lascari made him a title contender. AJ's post-season took him all the way to the state finals where he took a very close 4-3 defeat. He'll be one of the top contenders next season.
