World Champs Lockett & Sealey Headline Loaded 157 lbs Super 32 Field

A Super 32 final between World Champs could be brewing at 157 lbs if LaDarion Lockett and Joe Sealey can navigate a loaded bracket

Super 32 is always packed with ranked wrestlers, incredible matchups, and deep brackets, but the 2023 version is shaping up to be one of the best high school tournaments in recent memory. Perhaps the best example of the quality of this year’s tournament is a 157 lbs bracket featuring the 2022 and 2023 U17 World Champions, Joe Sealey and LaDarion Lockett.

2023 Super 32

Sealey and Lockett met at Elite 8 Duals in the spring of 2022 at the end of Sealey’s sophomore year and Lockett’s freshman year. That was before either had made a World team. Since then, the two have been in the same bracket at both the U17 World Team Trials and Ironman, but the rematch had failed to materialize. Also, and more importantly, since then, both Sealey and Lockett have secured gold medals at the U17 World Championships.

Before Lockett and Sealey can meet in the Super 32 finals with a belt on the line, both will need to navigate a loaded bracket that includes 11 top-twenty-ranked wrestlers and dozes more of dangerous foes.
