gnome Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Who cares about the rankings.... Start this thread back up after the state meet and that will give us our true "toughest semi state". My prediction...Merrillville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction...Merrillville. I agree 100% alot of coaches don't report for rankings and what about kids that had injuries and had to set out for a good portion of the season! so let them wrestle and see which semi state has the most champions and I will go with Merrillville too!!!

fire77 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 M'ville. just like the only rankings that really count are done in INDY this too will be settled there. it is fun to discuss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Merriville by far!!! Not even a question ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENoblewrestling Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree that Merrieville)(sp) is probably the best, but one argument that I would have against them is the fact that Mishawaka got 13 to semi-state, and Crown Point 14. It does show the dominance of those teams but doesn't it also show the weakness of the rest of their reginals? I mean if from top to bottom all of these teams in this area were all really good and if this is the best semi-state by far then how do two teams dominate it that much?

Wrestle4Christ Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 If rankings do mean anything and last years performances mean anything New Castle could crown an almost guaranteed 4 my guess would be about 95% chance, with 103 McKinley or Union County, 119 Wright or Eppert, 125 Cashe 'Money' Quiroga, and 171 Duckworth or Grimes. A few that are up in the air are 140 and 145 with Bennett, McGinley's, Tonte, and Tassef in their they could crown up to 6 or 7 as a semi state.

Merrillville also has a legitimate shot at taking every weight you mentioned. 103 Ayersman 119 Brooks 125 Tsirtsis 140 Sandefer, Hall 145 Young 171 Atwood Obviously not giong to say the Merrillville s.s. will win all these weight classes but they will take at least 2 or 3. In total, I would say M'ville will crown a minimum 8 state champions. Just my opinion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6minutes Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Merrillville has some real studs, but overall depth has to go to evansville, there are 3 or 4 guys that have a legit shot at winning it at each weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckm Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Merrillville will have the most state champs, not sure about who will place at state the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
