WEIGHT          NAME  SCHOOL           WINS   LOSSES           

 

Gardner is the clear favorite but look for Stephensen and Meyerholtz to pull the upset. 

106                                                                             

1          Gardner          EDG     26        4                                 

2          Stephenson    THS      25        7        CHAMP                         

3          Meyeholtz      SR        35        7          Sec Champ 2016                    

4          Hays    BS        14        18                               

5          Eckstein          JA        18        7                                 

5          Crews  THN     14        11       

 

Mikulich is a relative unknown but is having a stellar season and will battle Wilson/Graber winner for a regional title.             

113                                                                             

1          Wilson WA      26        5                                 

2          Mikulich          BN       23        4                                 

3          Orman EDG     20        11                               

4          Meyeholtz      SR        30        11        Sec Champ 2016                    

5          Rohbrach        WV      24        2         CHAMP                         

6          Bays    THS      13        8                                 

 

Cash has deep roots in Indiana wrestling and should win fairly easy.  Can Riddell punch his way through Koening, Sullivan, and Webster for a shot at Cash Money?

120                                                                             

1          Cash    BN       27        7                                 

2          Sullivan           EDG     21        6    CHAMP                              

3          Koening           THS      25        6                                 

4          Riddell CC        31        4                                 

5          Graber WA      25        8                                 

6          Webster          THN     22        9

 

Hunt is a seasoned vet and should cruise baring any upset from Cook.                          

126                                                                             

1          Hunt    BS        24        9          Sec Champ 2016         Reg Champ 2016/15   SQx2

2          Cook    NV       26        4                                 

3          Lane    EDG     18        12                               

4          Schroeder       SR        30        9                                 

5          Tussey OV       22        3                                 

6          Arthur BN       18        11       

 

Smith is a move in from California I believe and has fit right in.  He should cruise to the title.                     

132                                                                             

1          Smith  BN       33        3      CHAMP                           

2          Deckard           EDG     8          2                                 

3          Balsmeyer       SR        34        9                                 

4          Bartholomew PA        28        9          Sec Champ 2016                    

5          Hensley           BS        7          9                                 

6          Sage    CC        17        12                               

This could be the deepest weight but Blubaugh comes out on top.  There is no clear 2nd place after him though and anyone from 2-8 can take it.

138                                                                             

1          Blubaugh        BS        29        6          Sec Champ 2016         Reg Champ 2016           

2          Bradburn        EDG     19        12                               

3          Foster  NK       31        1                                 

4          Cook    NV       21        8                                 

5          Dearing           SR        29        14                               

6          Inman BN       22        13                               

7          Terwiske         JA        17        15        Sec Champ 2016                    

8          Stroud PA        20        7         

 

Webb dominates with everyone else fighting for second. Look for Wigand to battle Heckman for a chance in the finals.

145                                                                             

1          Webb  BS        30        4                                 

2          Heckman         EDG     24        9                                 

3          Wigand           JA        23        8          Sec Champ 2016                    

4          Fleck    FP        28        7                                 

5          Kane    SR        24        10                               

6          Dooley WV      19        7         

 

The second toughest weight class here.  Aydelott is the clear favorite but look for Dalton and Schank to give him everything he wants in the finals.  4th place is up in the air with several quality wrestlers.                     

152                                                                             

1          Aydelott          EDG     26        3          Sec Champ 2016         Reg Champ 2016           

2          Schank SR        37        5          Sec Champ 2016                    

3          Dalton BN       30        5                                 

4          Burton PA        33        3                                 

5          Heading          NV       23        7                                 

6          Sollars WV      15        9                                 

7          Kirk      MI        14        3                                 

8          Presson           BS        17        15       

 

The most open weight class…I can see Wampler BN #8 or Bedford THS #1 winning it.  Look for the young Bohnenkamp from Mitchel to make some noise!                  

160                                                                             

1          Buford THS      13        3         CHAMP                         

2          Bohnenkamp  MI       27        4                                 

3          Miller  SA        34        5                                 

4          Smith  WA      21        6                                 

5          Weber NK       25        5                                 

6          Minor  NV       18        6                                 

7          Ross    BS        14        18                               

8          Wampler         BN       18        8

 

The second most open weight class.  There is no favorite and everything is up for grabs.  Murrell THN has a pretty good practice partner so he gets the edge.  Schlegel has 11 losses but wrestles one of the toughest schedules in the state.  Nunamaker has the tool to win as well.                          

170                                                                             

1          Murrell            THN     22        9                                 

2          Schlegel           BS        22        11                               

3          Nunamaker     SR        32        8                                 

4          Creasy WV      16        2                                 

5          Raye    SA        31        5                                 

6          Slone   MI        25        3                                 

7          Johnson          WA      21        13                               

8          Shahrani         BN       19        13                               

9          Flynn   JA        20        10       

 

Dull and Hendrich will battle for the umpteenth time!  These two are head and shoulders above everyone else.  Last year Hendrich won sectionals and regionals but fell by 1 point in semi state semi finals and then lost to Dull for 3/4. Dull ended up taking 5th at state.  Dull has a UTB win over Hendrich this season that was on a buzzer beater!                       

182                                                                             

1          Dull     THN     28        0                                  5th at state

2          Hendrich         NV       26        3          Sec Champ 2016         Reg Champ 2016/15            SQ

3          Williams          WA      21        13                               

4          Coldren           EDG     17        8                                 

5          Carter  SR        27        10                               

6          Slaughter        MI        20        8         

 

Michel should roll through sectionals and regionals but has several quality wrestlers who look to dethrone him.  Open weight after Michel.                 

195                                                                             

1          Michel SR        40        2          Sec Champ 2016                    

2          Brown MI        27        3                                 

3          Holland           THS      20        12                               

4          Barclay            THN     22        7                                 

5          Hardy  NK       21        5                                 

6          Smith  BN       19        12

 

Rivera and Allgood are battled tested against tough competition but Wade only has 1 loss and is a defending sectional champion.  Vegas would have trouble picking this weight’s winner!       

220                                                                             

1          Rivera  THS      25        4                                 

2          Allgood           BS        17        6                                 

3          Wade  MI        25        1          Sec Champ 2016                    

4          Wilson            EDG     18        9                                 

5          Hollen SA        28        9                                 

6          Chistenbery    THN     13        10       

 

Moshak looks to be the favorite but as we know with HWT’s, anything can happen!                         

285                                                                             

1          Moshak           THN     25        5                                 

2          Hillenburg       BS        18        11                               

3          Heady EDG     19        10                               

4          Deford OV       18        8                                 

5          Kramer            SR        32        10                               

6          Nuckels           NK       18        5

Thanks for the predictions.  I always enjoy reading them and seeing who is at the different weight classes.

 

At 132, Balsmeyer from Southridge has beat Deckard and Bartholomew this year.

 

For Mitchell, Kirk was at 160 and Wade 220 this past weekend at Paoli.

Eckstein had a first period pin against Hayes in Dec. I see him stealing sectional crown away from Meyerholtz Saturday. I see Southridge team taking the sectional win with ease with most of the individual championships.

Regional Preview

 

106- Gardner will be waiting in the finals for the winner of Stephenson and Meyerholtz.  Top 4- Gardner, Stehpenson, Meyerholts, Eckstein

 

113-Big first round match between Meyeholtz 32-12 and Rohbrach 27-3.  Finals looks to be the veteran from Washington against the freshman from Bloomington North. Top 4-Mikulich, Wilson, Orman, Meyerholtz

 

120-Riddell 29-4 vs Sullivan 24-7 will be a barn burner.  Don’t be surprised if B. North sectional sweep this weight class.  Finals looks to be Cash vs Koenig for a sectional rematch. Top 4- Cash, Koenig, Graber, Sullivan

 

126-This could be a Bl. North sweep as well.  Schroeder brings a 33-9 record first round against Tussey 24-6.  Finals will be Hunt vs Cook.  Top 4- Hunt, Cook, Lane, Schroder

 

132- Smith from Bl. North wins this weight with ease.  Deckard from Edgewood had a rough sectional and will look to win first round against a tough freshman in Balsmeyer 37-9.  Look for Bartholomew and Hensley to battle it out for 3rd. Top 4 Smith, Balsmeyer, Hensley, Bartholomew

 

138-Overall, 138 is a pretty deep weight class.  Blubaugh from Bl. South will major whoever he faces in the finals.  Foster from North Knox holds a 33-2 record and will have two tough matches to make it to the finals.  Top four- Blubaugh, Foster, Dearing, Bradburn.

 

145-Webb wins this weight. Whoever wins between Heckman and Kane will face Wigang for a spot in the finals.  Top 4-Webb, Wigand, Heckman, Fleck

 

152-Very talented weight class which should see a sectional final rematch from Aydelott 29-3 and Dalton 32-6. Don’t sleep on the talented sophomore Schank 40-5 to upset Dalton in the semi-finals. Burton 35-4 and PResson 21-16 will be a tough first round battle.  Winner of this gets 4th.  Top 4- Aydelott, Schank, Dalton, Burton

 

160-Finally a weight where Southridge winners could sweep.  Bohnekamp looks to be the favorite to win but it’s possible for him to be upset first round against Ross from Bl. South. Those BS kids wrestle the hardest schedule around and their records don’t represent their ability. Top 4- Bohnenkamp, Smith, Miller, Buford

 

170-Wide open weight here…Each first round match could go either way!  Top 4, Nunamaker, Creasey, Schlegel, Johnson

182-Hendrich and Dull are the top of the class here.  Hendrich gets the win this time.  Top 4- Hendrich, Dull, Williams, Coldren

 

195-Michel and Brown will meet for a rematch of their OT sectional final.  Top 4- Michel, Brown, Barclay, Hardy

 

220-I’m going with Allgood to win this weight.  Rivera 27-5 and Wade 28-1 will meet in the semi finals.  Top 4- Allgood, Wade, Rivera, Wilson

 

285-Traditonally HWT’s are stronger but this year they seem to be down. Top 4- Moshak, Hillenburg, Kramer, Smith

8 champs were predicted….not bad but there were several upsets with Gardner 106 and Aydelott 152 losing. 

 

Best regional showing goes to Freshman Seth Rohrbach of West Vigo 30-3.  He beats a previous sectional champion first round 12-1.  He then pins the kid who won his sectional last week!  In the finals he beat a kid who has beaten him the last two weeks 2-5 and 2-7. Then Seth comes up with a HUGE OT win and gets the regional title. 

 

Second best showing goes to Tucker Schank from Southridge 43-5.  The Southridge sectional didn’t fare very well yesterday and seen several of their #1’s get thumped by a #4.  Schank pinned a very tough kid first match.  Then wins a tight decision over a two time semi state qualifier Wyatt Dalton of Bl. North (34-7) and wins 5-2.  In the finals Schank has Aydelott of Edgewood who is the defending regional champ, and a tick round from last year and who beat Schank in November 10-2!  Schank wins in overtime 3-1 for his first ever regional crown. 

 

Biggest surprise goes to Cash from Bl. North. He was the clear favorite and I did not see what happened to him but he defaulted to 4th

 

Most bizarre.. Bohnenkamp Mitchel brought a 30-5 record and was the sectional champ. Ross of Bl. South came in at 18-21 and placed 4th at his sectional. BUT, Bl. South wrestles by far the toughest competition in this regional and their records are underinflated.  Ross wins 4-2 and goes on and beats Weber of North Knox (28-8) 7-5.  Weber beat Ross last week.  Ross falls in the finals match 10-5 but showed why you should never overlook a poor record from Bl. South. 

 

BEST CHANCE TO PUNCH THEIR TICKET TO STATE

182- Dull:  He will have two pretty decent matches but none are ranked and Dull “should” win by several.

Hendrich: He will have a very tough Smith of Monrovia first round and the undefeated Sonner 41-0 in the ticket round.  IF he gets past his first two matches look for his semifinal match to be winnable as well.  Sonner is the real deal but Hendrich is a returning state qualifier and is a top 10 wrestler.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Hendrich finishes 2nd and Dull 3rd at semistate.  OR, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hendrich loses first round..

 

106- Stephenson: What a time for this kid to turn it on! He has a great draw..He will meet the winner of Sego 29-2 and Scott 38-3 in the ticket round.  Stephenson is a strong senior and both Sego and Scott are freshman.  Sego is ranked but don’t sleep on Scott beating him first round.  Stephenson is in my top 4 moving on.

 

152: Schank got a great draw…he will get the winner of McNutt 29-11 and Thomas 36-5.  For comparison, Aydelott beat McNutt 4-1 and 5-2 and he beat Thomas 16-6.  Schank has got to be feeling very good about his draw and avoiding Bethel. 

 

145: Webb will be in the ticket round.  HE will meet up with Coyle of Center Grove who brings a 33-3 record.  This should be a barn burner and the winner should make the finals.  It’s a shame these two have to meet up so early.  They are both ticket rounders from last year and both ranked this year. 

 

138: Blubaugh will have to get past the always tough Mater Dei kid and then meet up with Schoenegge of Col. East in the ticket round.  Blubaugh has battled top ranked Black 10-3, Sellmer 3-2, Manspeaker 8-6, Hicks 3-2, and Davis 5-2. 

For comparison purposes…Schonegge also lost to Hicks 5-2 and Sellmer a few times by a point. This is another case of why do they have to meet so early?

 

126: Smith from Bl. North who is a move in from California has a good draw.  He avoids the tough Miranda in the ticket round and Luigs and Combest in the semifinals.  HE will battle the former state qualifier Noah Franklin 38-2 in the ticket round.  IF he can get past Franklin, his path to the finals gets a little (just a little) easier where he will likely see Campbell from Ben Davis. 

 

195: Michel:  How good is he?  HE brings a 46-2 record into semi state and has a pretty good draw.  He will likely meet up with state qualifier Goforth from Indian Creek 32-5 in the ticket round where anything can happen.  But first, he has to get past the very tough Smith from Jeffersonville who brings in a 40-9 record as a 4th place finisher.

Good stuff Navy.  A couple adds:

 

Smith, Franklin, et. are 132lbers, not 126 (I know you know that).  Smith is legit.  He breezed to the finals at Mooresville before falling to Bailey (like everyone else).

 

McNutt beat Schank in OT earlier this year at 152.  But Schank had no gas tank at the time.

 

Don't sleep on Sego or Scott at 106.  I see either beating Stephenson at 106.

 

Couldn't agree more on your 182lb preview.

 

145 at Evansville may seem to be boring (Brayton Lee being a "lock").  But no less than 8 other wrestlers have a decent shot at finishing 2nd-4th.

Wow...this regional was weak but proved to be much stronger getting 7 to state.  A few more like Cash, Blubaugh, Webb, and Smith are state worthy.  

 

Southridge came up big today.  Michel is 48-3 and never ranked in semi state this year...he is underrated and very strong.  Schank with a takedown at the buzzer to punch his ticket.

 

Zane Sullivan from Edgewood with a huge upset over Denny of Monrovia.

 

Hunt B. South big win over Mater Dei's Lee in the semi finals.

 

Stephenson 106 with a OT win over Sego to punch his ticket.  

 

Dull and Hendrich both punch their ticket again and both wrestle for 3/4 Again.  Hendrich does the unthinkable and beats 42-0 Sonner.  Looked really good.  Then had a very winnable match against Franklin's Moore and was going through the motions.  Same with Dull, seemed to take his match with Walton with little offense and that big throw or takedown never came.  I think both of these kids place next week though.
