hook and half Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) It’s that time, kids! Load up the station wagon and point her towards Paradise; the post season is here. 106- Any other year, Harrison’s Kaliq Boyd is good enough to top the podium at the SIAC meet. Unfortunately for him, Mater Dei’s Cole Ross has piled up a 21-2 record against statewide competition and looks prepared to take home a conference title. 113- Castle’s Devon Casebolt brings a lot of fire power to the mat. However, so does Mater Dei freshman, Blake Boarman. Boarman is undefeated and is wrestling outer-worldly. Look for Boarman to go 2-0 against Casebolt. 120- Give the edge to MD’s Kane Egli over Castle’s first-year starter, junior Logan Hunt. Hunt is tough, but cannot look past his semifinal match against Central’s Cameron Amento. 126- This is a two-horse race between Castle’s Carson Willis and Mater Dei’s Clay Egli. Egli won the first match-up; the second one should be a doozy. Whoa, Nelly! 132- Mater Dei’s Eli Dickens is the clear favorite. However, anyone who has watched Central’s Brayden Bethe knows the truth: the 18-2 Bethe is extremely dangerous. 138- Question: How many Lees can Mater Dei produce? Answer: Three. The sophomore, Matt, should fake, snap and shoot his way to the top of the award stand. 145- Don’t let the baby face of Mater Dei freshman Scott Fitts fool you. Behind the apple cheeks is a solid and steady wrestler. Look for Castle’s Jacob Freeman to challenge him in the final. 152- Castle’s Robert Deters is a sophomore who makes few mistakes and capitalizes on those of his opponent. Mater Dei’s Macartney Parkinson is a sophomore who makes few mistakes and capitalizes on those of his opponent. See a pattern? This rivalry dates back to middle school and is one of the top match-ups in Southern Indiana. 160- Mater Dei’s Nolan Weidner gets the nod for the top slot, while Castle’s Ian Hartz and Reitz’s Zach Martin will slug it out in the bottom of the bracket for the right to meet Weidner at the center mat. 170- This is a wide-open weight class. While Reitz’s Noah Reich should cruise to the final, Central’s McKinley Kemper and MD’s Blake Chandler will battle in the semifinal. Shuffle these three cards and see who comes out on top. 182- Who can stop Central’s Kiave Guerrier? So far, no one. The Bear is an eye-popping 20-0. One of the top semifinal matches of the day will occur in the bottom half of the bracket when North’s Tyler Tasa meets Castle’s Will Nunn. 195- Like 170, 195 is up for grabs. Reitz’s Andrew Koonce headlines, while Mater Dei’s Robbie Helfrich and Castle’s Will Rolley will battle for the right to square off with Koonce. Which of the three is fired-up, injury free and has avoided the flu? Not sure—but you will be able to identify him by his blue neck ribbon. 220- Mater Dei’s Michael Boots is one of three undefeated wrestlers in the field. Memorial fans are still steaming over a last second takedown awarded to Boots in his win over Alex Lichlyter. Look for Boots/Lichlyter II this weekend. 285- Mater Dei’s Roman Graves gets the top seed over Memorial’s Ryan Ohlsen. Their first match came down to a coin toss as Graves won in triple overtime. I would not be surprised to see a replay. Hook’s Musings: · My Castle Peeps will be out in force. BlueBolt will be spinning more insane conspiracy theories than Oliver Stone, Todd Foxxx will be keeping stats like it’s his job, BacktotheMat will have a dazzling array of probability and actuarial tables while the Castle parents will do their always-outstanding job of hosting in the most gracious manner. · The concession stand will feature face-sized pieces of pizza and baked taters “as big as your head.” · Central’s Mike Lapadat will come out of his chair at least once. · Castle’s Bob Harmon will don a pressed shirt, statement-making tie and photos of his grandchildren on his person. · From the Mater Dei crowd, at least once, you will hear “TWOOOOO!” · Hook will be enjoying the action with his daughter, Hookticia, in addition to a Memorial fan and a North fan. It’s going to look like a committee from the United Nations. · RIP, Keith Jackson. “He had never seen a corn dog, much less tasted one. It took him three quarters to eat one, and then he ate three.” · Hook is already in a bad mood about the regional being moved from Castle to North. You may see a meltdown.

While he's a great scrambler and doesn't make many mistakes, it's going to take a tall task to get past Walton. Anything can happen though.
