Its time for State predictions!!

[fearless fly]

Todd definitly shook things up at 112...can he do it again ?


ff

[dontunderestimate]

103 Boston
112 LeCount
119 Welch
125 McKiney
130 Molloy
135 (Coin Flip) there are about 10 kids in this bracket that could be state champions almost any given year
140 Rueger for 2nd but Tsirists
145 Roach
152 Welch
160 Welch
171 Stein
189 Silga Stud
215 Reese
Hwt Suter

LeCount is a great kid but he is not going to place at State this year because he lost a tough match in the ticket round at Semi State.

[HazardFranklin]

103: Boston
112: Phillips, Semi State will haunt him but he won't let it happen again. No easy road though
119: Ayersman
125: McKinley
130: Molley
135: Jackson
140: Tsirtsis
145: Roach
152: Welch

171: Lynde, Stein
189: Stevenson
215: Reese
285: Suter, Meyer

145 Roach sleeper Weekly and Hiestand I see Hiestand 2nd
152 Welch wins
160 Welch don't count Willis out great match here

189 Sliga vs Stevenson semis should be the finals match but winner takes it all
215 Reese wins if Bass is healty he is  a darkhorse

Mclovin... Roach and Hiestand are on same side of bracket. So if both make it to semis everyone will get a good match

[mclovin]

Oh my bad I must have just read wrong I was skimming quickly. Thanks for the correction I'm going with Roach

[wrestling141]

Should be great match. Would like to see Hiestand win.

[mclovin]

I'm personally rooting for Roach in that match up

[kullerySBR]

I got these finals matchups! Champs in BLUE!

103
Boomsma (Bloomington South) vs Boston (Lawrence North)-Boomsma is a senior, but I gotta go with the Boston to win it.

112
Petrov (Hanover Central) vs Brooks (Warsaw)-Rematch of the championship at Merrillville. I think Brooks will get the job done again.

119
Ayersman (Lake Central) vs Campbell (New Castle)-I think Ayersman is one of the best wrestlers in the state but I'm pulling an upset here. I got Campbell.

125
McKinley (Perry Meridian) vs Josh Kieffer (Indianapolis Roncalli)-Another great rivalry throughout the season. I see McKinley taking it home.

130
Barroquillo (Prairie Heights) vs Harvey (Indianapolis Cathedral)-I got Barroquillo winning it all this year.

135
Gregory (Penn) vs Raley (Indian Creek)-Gregory has developed a different approach this year and I got him winning first.

140
Tsirtsis (Crown Point) vs Montgomery (Terre Haute South)-This will be a great match but Tsirtsis will become a 3x State Champ Saturday night!

145
Weekley (Jeffersonville) vs Roach (Crown Point)-I got Roach winning this one.

152
Doug Welch (Castle) vs Mullins (New Castle)-Mullins is good but I think Doug Welch is just a little better.

160
Sims (Evansville Mater Dei) vs Chad Welch (Castle)-I got his twin at 152. Chad Welch will win 160.

171
Lynde (Delphi) vs Stein (Princeton Community). This might be the best match of the finals and I'm taking an upset, I got Lynde winning it.

189
Berry (Merrillville) vs Silga (Fishers)-Berry has come a long way and has done great this year but I think Silga is better.

215
Thatcher (Bellmont) vs Reese (Indian Creek)-Reese will win this weight class easily.

285
Howe (Plymouth) vs Meyer (Bellmont)-This will be a great match also but I got the quicker Meyer taking it home.

[MrConcuss23]

103-Boomsma(Bloomington South)
112-Brooks(Warsaw)
119-Ayersman(Lake Central)
125-Jo. Kieffer(Roncalli)
130-Johnson(Lawrence North)
135-Ju. Kieffer(Roncalli)
140-Tsirtsis(Crown Point)
145-Roach(Crown Point)
152-Welch(Castle)
160-Willis(Cathedral)
171-Stein(Princeton)
189-Sliga(Fishers)
215-Grubb(Prairie Hts.)
HWT-Henson(North Central)

Well, considering Grubb didn't make it to state, I think that your 215 is way off.

[DoggyStyle!]

103 Boomsma taking him over the young Boston
112 Todd Awesome Weight Class will be very exciting
119 Ayersman
125 McKinley toss up between him and Kieffer
130 Molloy over the Catherdral kid
135 Kieffer looks like it will be Jackson Gregory and Kieffer Raley Semi's!
140 T-Shirts but Phelan Montgomery is a manchild and I will not be surprised if he pulls out an upset
145 Roach he will have earned it. If it all plays out right he will have richey/decker,heistand/scurria,and then a finals match with an on fire Weekley.
152 Welch with awesome shiny shorts
160 Welch also with the awesome shiny shorts
171 Stein
189 Stevenson kind of pissed that we won't see a Sliga-Stevenson finals
215 Reese is just to slick
285 Meyer? don't know much about this weight class other than Suter is a big boy.

[Blmont17]

i'll take a stab at it... Winners in red

103-Jacob Boomsma vs. Nathan Boston; if boston avoids the strength he takes this match. I think he will!
112-Cody Phillips vs. Mason Todd; Todd looked great at semi-state, but i feel Phillips has an incentive!
119-Brenden Campbell vs. Kyle Ayersman; Going to be a great match, whoever wants it more. Got Campbell
125-Jared McKinley vs. Josh Kieffer; McKinley is good, but I like Kieffer and his experiance on the big stage!
130-Neal Molloy vs. Brian Harvey; Going to be close, but Molloy is hands down just good!
135-Devon Jackson vs. Ethan Raley; Love watching Jackson! going to be an excellent match!
140-PJ Montgomery vs. Jason Tsirtsis; Montgomery was good at semi-state, but Tsirtsis looks unbeatable
145-Weekley vs.Andrew Hiestand; Unfortunate Roach and Hiestand are on the same side. I feel the winner of that wins the weight, got Hiestand!
152-Doug Welch vs. Connor Mullins; Great match, Welch brings it home!
160-Chad Welch vs. Connor Lefever; Both Welchs face a Conner, I think Chad also wins!
171- Tanner Lynde vs. Jackson Bratcher; Everybody has one upset they think will happen this is mine!
189-Kourtney Berry vs. Mitch Sliga; Just like 145, i feel the winner of Stevenson vs. Sliga will win the weight!
215-Travis Thatcher vs.Trey Reese; Reese looks great, don't see him getting beat.
HWT-Daniel Meyer vs. Kaden Suter; Meyer has been impressive this year, i think he'll finish it off right!

how can ehr win when he didnt even make it to the big show he got knocked out first rd semi-state

[Spud]

103 - BOSTON, boomsma is gonna have trouble on his feet
112 - PHILLIPS, todd vs phillips finals shuld be great!
119 - Ayersman
125 - McKinley, i think he has kieffer's number. should be a classic, though
130 - Barroquillo, kind of a toss up weight i could see 3 people winning, but ill take travis. Senior with pride.
135 - Jackson, i chose this while watching him vs T-Shirts last year
140 - Tsirtsis
145 - roach
152 - Welch, i think Kirk Johnson is the secong best kid, too bad they meet in the finals
160 -Willis, i think the loss wakes him up and he comes back stronger than ever
171 - Lynde, UPSET ALERT!! 
189 - Stevenson, tough senior who has something to make up for. Upset that the sliga match isn't under the lights
215 - Reese
285 -  Meyer

[navy80]

I know Phillips is a two timer but it was at 103.  Everyone has him winning but he just got beat at semi state. 

He has to get through Que sr. 43-0.....Brooks jr.27-1 before he even gets to see Todd or Petrov.

[No One Famous]

103 - Boomsma - may be physically stronger than Boston
112 - Petrov - Avenges last years loss to Phillips
119 - Ayersman - better than the field
125 - McKinley - cant see Kieffer beating him again
130 - Molloy - toss up - going off hearsay
135 - Raley - beats Kieffer this time
140 - Tsirtis - too good
145 - Roach - experience in this situation wins it, but tougher road than expected
152 - Lefever - fort wayne always has ONE champ
160 - Anderson - can beat willis and should compete with other 3 undefeateds
171 - Lynde - wrestling as well as anyone
189 - Sliga - could be Stevenson or Berry, but I will take the Soph
215 - Reese - wrestles like he weighs 160, too quick
285 - Henson - seems to be overlooked

you seem to pick alot of upsets and under-dogs lol; i like to see the under dogs win but i dont pick them to win it, its wat makes them the under dogs; the least amount of people expecting him to win, the bigger it is win he does

The only true underdogs may be at 112, 171, and 285.  And Petrov was a runner-up last year, so that doesnt seem too far-fetched.
