Its time for State predictions!!

[RAGUOC79]

103:Boomsma over Boston in a close one. 7-6
112:Phillips over Petrov same result as last year
119:Campbell over Ayersman..not an upset, Campbell will be ready
125:McKinley over Kieffer..more dominant this time through
130:Molloy over Harvey...won't be as close, Molloy in OT over Barraquillo though is semi's
135:Jackson over Kieffer...closer than expected
140:Tsirtsis over Montgomery..we'll have to see maybe Mont. can keep up with technique
145:Roach over Weekly...solid matchup
152:Mullins over Welch...classic
160:LeFever over Willis....too much in the end
171:Lynde over Bratcher....hopefully we'll see a lot of offense
189:Boots over Stevenson.....upset darkhorse pick
215:Reese over Kral......kral with an overall good day, reese a gr8 day
HWT:Suter over Meyer in a gr8 match better than last years

[Jon H]

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.


Coach Harmon should wear the "awesome shiny shorts" matside during the finals..........that would put a new wrinkle in the Coaches dress code thread

[rathernot]

I got these finals matchups! Champs in BLUE!



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

I really hope this happens.  It seems as if Sims has avoided wrestling Welch all year.  I gave the kid a pass at regionals for his Inj Def, but when it happened again at Semi State after winning in the ticket round, Inj Def to Welch and then he came right back and won the consolations. Something fishy going on there.

[FCFIGHTER170]

103. Boston..Get ur popcorn this kids a multiple time champ..
12.Todd..I picked this at ss ...he didn't just beat cody he handled him!

35.Jackson...beats Raley by 3
40.lil T-shirts
45.Roach...look for decker to make some noise he's peaking. Right now..had #3 scurria beat and gave up back points with 10 secs. To go...
52.Mullins...if a loss can be good this on was..he learned he gotta wrestle a whole match..5-1 lead isn't. Good enough. At this level...
60.Welch..
71.Manning...mix things up a little
89.My man Mitch..show me a 89 Pounder with the offense. This kid has looks like Campbell on his feet unreal fast ..

[frigginhurts]

103 - Boomsma over Boston
112 - phillips over todd
119 - ayersman over campbell
125 - Binion over kieffer
130 - molloy over harvey
135 - Jackson over Raley
140 - tsirtsis over montgomery
145 - roach over weekley
152 - welch over lefever
160 - welch over lefever
171 - Stein over lynde
189 - sliga over berry (sliga over stevenson is really the finals)
215 - Reese over Kral
285 - Meyer over Suter

***side note ****  have two brothers wrestled two brothers in the finals in back to back weights ever before?

[WeBoWrestler130]

103- Boston over Boomsma in what is more of a toss up match than most expect.
112- Phillips avenges his loss at semi state. And let me just point out how crazy this wieght class is; you have at least 3 guys who have been in the national rankings at one point in time with the highest ranked of those 3 getting upset this past weekend....TOUGH!
119- Cambell
125- I see Keiffer beating Mckinly in a 2009 Eppert over Wright fashion.
130- Malloy
135- Keiffer
140-  Tsirtis with much more ease this year around. Locked with no key to be found!
145- Roach, locked.
152- Welch
160- Quiroz with an upset in the semis and a state loss avenged in the finals.
171- Jackson Bratcher
189- Sliga
215- Reese
285- Daniel Meyer

[IUBjj171]

103- Boston but i think boomsma will make it a closer match that most think
112- Phillips
119- Welch (gotta go for the brothers, he only has 1 loss this year)
125- Mckinley
130- Mallory
135- Keiffer
140- Tsirtis
145- Roach
152- Welch (Brotherly love)
160- Welch (See 152)
171- Stein is tearing up the competition
189- Winner of Silga-Stevenson
215- Reese
285- VanWinkle (EMD has to get something this year)

[silentkilla]

103 - Boston
112 - Todd
119 - Ayersman
125 - McKinley
130 - Molloy
135 - Raley
140 - Tsirtsis
145 - Roach
152 - K Johnson
160 - Sims
171 - Bratcher
189 - Stevenson
215 - Reese
285 - Meyer

[rockies62]

11 champs from the Merrillville SS? Hmmmmmmm i wonder what area of the state your from...

I happen to wrestle through the merriville semi-state... and you mite call it biased but im thinking we will pull off a couple of upsets

[WrestlerBlack77]

103 - Nathan Boston
112 - Jarred Brooks
119 - Kyle Ayersman
125 - Jared McKinley
130 - Travis Barroquillo
135 - Devon Jackson
140 - Jason Tsirtsis (Only lock)
145 - Eric Roach
152 - Doug Welch
160 - Chad Welch
171 - Drake Stein
189 - Mitch Silga
215 - Trey Reese
285 - Jeremiah Harvey (Don't ask why, I just have this weird feeling)

I could see harvey winning. Anyone that goes over or under hooks with him will get launched. I could see meyer beating him though. Harveys 4 losses have all come to Hall. Hall has a  similar body type to meyer to meyer except meyer is faster stronger and better on top.

[Galagore]

Hall is not to be overlooked in that first round, though.  He is a wiley one.  Win or lose, I am sure he will give Meyer something to think about.

152 Welch
160 Welch
171 Stein
189 Silga Stud
215 Reese

lecount didnt make it did he?

[KarlHungus]

I could see harvey winning. Anyone that goes over or under hooks with him will get launched. I could see meyer beating him though. Harveys 4 losses have all come to Hall. Hall has a  similar body type to meyer to meyer except meyer is faster stronger and better on top.

Hall is no slouch on top.  He rode harvey for nearly the whole period and not many could do that.

[wrestler33]

your right lecount didnt make it
