MD vs. PM

[sweepsingle20]

I think its time we got the discussion rolling on this semi-final
 matchup...

[BlueBolt]

PM by a comfortable margin. 

[Thornton]

PM by a comfortable margin. 

I would take a 1 point margin and be happy. We have never beaten them (and have tried several times at team state) and it would be nice to win one.

As 'unbeatable' as Perry is, if somebody does it.. it'd be Mater Dei. They dont get pinned and they rarely give up bonus points.

[MatChick76]

This is going to be a good dual - if it happens - but I hope both teams are focused on winning Round 1 first.  I never underestimate the will of a champion ~ both teams want to end up champs so, if this match-up occurs, I fully expect it to be a battle to the end!

they lost to LN last year because they gave up a few unexpected falls...

It will be an intense dual...

MD looked awful tough this weekend. Mauer is the real deal. Great athlete !!

[BumbleBee1989]

assuming its the same sectional line up. the line ups should be:
           MD                      PM
106:Seng                        Cottey
113:Johnson                 James
120:Goebal                    Kenny
126:Pierre                      LeCount
132:Schroeder              McKinley
138:Lannert                 Bova
145:Bassmeier              McClurg
152:Folz                          Mathews
160:Parkinson              Johnson
170:Inj. Def.                 Masengale         
182:Brandenstein      Martin
195:Maurer                  Ash
220:Collins                   Naughton
HWT:Wright               Winfield

Excuse me on spellings. most of these are just coming from memory. Predictions?

[No One Famous]

I do not see MD winning enough matches to keep it close.  PM should win by 15-20.

[BumbleBee1989]

I think PM wins 9 of those matches.

I doubt Mater Dei will injury default 170, what with their vaunted junior varsity studs ready to step up at a moment's notice. I think this will be a great dual. The semis at team state figure to be pretty exciting: PM against MD and CP against either Cathedral or Penn. I haven't double checked this, but off the top of my head, I think it is possible there could be near 30 state qualifiers in the semis of team state. Don't mean to hijack the thread, but that's pretty amazing.

Does CP only have 4 sq???

I think 5.

You know, I was looking at this earlier and agreed with all of your picks except 106. It is still a swing match along with 120, 138, 145, and 220. It actually kind of surprises me how much of a chance Mater Dei has of beating Perry.

Yes, but I can see Seng beating Cottey if he wrestles his best.  This match will very likely come down to bonus points and that has always been Mater Dei's strength- not giving them up and getting them when possible.

Agree that he can beat Cottey but i was just going off of first thought. You are absolutely correct in how they don't give up bonus. They always wrestle their best at team state it seems. Which JV kid will it be this year, to surprise everyone?

[gstemv81]

I think MD's back up at 170 is yet another Weinzapfel.

[md66]

Mater Dei has to get by Belmont,  any other discussion will be useless until after the first round.
