Ohio and Pennsylvania really produce some studs starting in youth and high school... I've been to Fargo tournaments where Pennsylvania kids just wiped the floor with seemingly everyone. And man are they arrogant about it...not much for small-talk, even if it's about how good their kid is, if the person who is trying to converse with them and compliment them is an Iowan.
In ten years, I think the biggest youth/high school powerhouse may very well be California. My youngest brother was on the 8th grade Iowa team at the NUWAY duals last year...they really struggled with the California team they faced. They are takedown machines over there... Lot of taking down, letting them up, taking them down, letting them up, etc. Evidently, some of the Hispanic/Latino population in California is starting to really catch on to wrestling...
