To help keep track I put together the HS entries. Does this list look right for Indiana guys? Did I miss anyone?

T-minus nine days...

Here goes nothing. 125 Suriano 3 133 Gross 5 141 Eierman 2 149 Retherford 10 157 Nolf 9 165 Martinez 4 174 Hall 6 184 Nickal 8 197 Haught 1 285 Snyder 7 Team Champ: Penn State Score: 138.5

As drawn, this is Escobedo's bracket. Lots of talent in this hypothetical bracket.

No. This is a real tournament!

Hughes/Maurer seems like a likely final. That's a 2-1 match, all day.

Here's a list of champions (displays best on desktop) from the last seven years with the current weight classes plus 2011 with the old weights (I may have misspelled a name or school) As mentioned, the weight class changes make it challenging to create a 16-person bracket. The old 130-135-140 weight classes now are 132-138 and in the upper weights the old 189-215 is now 182-195-220. Taking the last seven, you can run them through an 8-man bracket with the top seed getting a bye. Someone with far more knowledge would have to seed them.

I think the team title comes from one of these teams. This is just one guy's opinion and teams are listed alphabetically. Brownsburg (7 qualifiers) - All seven of their qualifiers should score points. If everything goes their way, I can see champs at 106, 126, 138, 152 and 182 and they run away with the team title. Cathedral (10 qualifiers) - Cathedral has the numbers and quality. They are the pre-tournament favorite for the team title. They'll enter contenders at 106, 120, 132, 138, 145 and 285. I look for 7-8 of their guys to get to Saturday. Interestingly, I don't know if they'll walk away with any individual champions or walk away with multiples. Their depth and quality likely wins out, barring some team winning 4-5 weights or some unexpected results Friday night. Chesterton (6 qualifiers) - Another team that has the potential for four champs: 160, 182, 195, 285. They'll need bonus points from those four, plus some surprise points from their other two qualifiers (which requires topping a SS champ and a once-beaten wrestler Friday night) AND some Friday night upsets in the lower weights. This is my long-shot team title contender. They have a ton of quality, but less quantity. Columbus East (8 qualifiers) - Columbus East has the potential for four champs: 126, 132, 138, 160. If you win four individual titles, you're in the hunt. Chances are they won't win all four of those weights, so their team title hopes rest on the four additional qualifiers (who have tough draws). Portage (9 qualifiers) - Several point scorers in this group. If everything goes their way, they could put five in the finals. They have some tricky draws, but this is a top five team with the potential for more.
