6minutes Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 This year is nothing new! The top two spots of the podium will be dominated by the Merrillville Semi-State. Mark my word!!!! The Merrillville Semi-State will win at least 8 titles if not all 14! 103 Ayersman - Lake Central 112 Hawkins - Crown Point (Lock) 125 Tsirtsis - Crown Point 130 Harper - Mishawaka (Lock) 135 Roach - Crown Point (Lock) 140 Surma - Munster Sandifer - Mishawaka One of these three will be the champ! Hall - S.B Riley 145 Young - CMA 152 McMurray - Portage (Lock) 160 Myers - Crown Point (Lock) 171 Atwood - Delphi 189 Shrewsberry - Crown Point (Lock) 215 Cleveland - Lowell (Lock) 285 Fitzgerald - John Glenn (Lock) The Merrillville Semi-State year in and year out is the best in the state of Indiana. If the IHSAA would allow wrestle-backs at the Semi-State, Merrillville would dominate 1st-8th place. I dont think any of your "locks" are locks, Shrewsbury is the closest thing to it though, NO ONE is ever a lock, I have seen some crazy things happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash513 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I posted this on another thread but felt it was also appropriate here: With Sandafer losing last week and Harper being beaten a couple times this year, I think it is impossible to call any match this year a "lock." There are no wreslters this year who are like Andrew Howe were last year. Even Cashe has had some close matches and it would not shock me to see him lose somewhere down the road. It would surprise me but with the talent in the state at the level it is, I am not sure anything would shock me. That said, it is likely between Harper and Porras that 130 will come from Merrillville. Same goes for Roach and Dillon. Other than these two weight classes (maybe 189) it appears that the champ could come from multiple semi-states. Likely that M-Ville will have the most champs and placers (I hope) but the original post is just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~B~DOGG~SMASH~ Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The Indianapolis schools will pull their weight this year. The New Castle Semi-State is right up there with the Merriville Semi-State. Maybe a little tougher!!! The New Castle Semi-State will have it's share of state champs this year!!!!!! 103 - Cody Phillips 112 - Brandon Nelson or Josh Keiffer 119 - Brandon Wright 125 - Cashe Quiroga 130 - D'Marcus Spencer 140 - Tony McGinley 145 - Jacob Tasseff 152 - Calvin Sullivan 160 - Matt Todd 171 - Michael Duckworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTights7 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 All 14? You don't even have a 119 listed. Phillips, Nelson, Wright, and Cashe all from the NC SS could all win the title. You statement is terribly wrong. Not to mention Bennet, Eppert, Mascaro, the lil Kieffers, TMcGinley, GMcGinley, Sullivan, Todd, and Duckworth all coming from there. I wouldn't count any of those kids out, beside the kieffer at 119. had New Castle's 103 hadn't gotten hurt add him to the title list to. So many good wrestlers from both SS. MHS, CP, and Delphi all from MSS, but CHS, PM, and RHS all from New Castle. Delphi couldn't beat any of those 3 teams. Not even Carmel or LN. I'm pretty sure they(Delphi) wrestled PM and it was not even close, also losing to Carmel to. From top to bottom teams wise there are better teams I think in the New Castle SS.

Merlyn Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Merrillville and Portage are both better than Delphi, even though they didn't make it to team state. Therefore, I disagree that New Castle has better teams top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizards0156 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I do not know how Cleveland at 215 is a lock. Baker beat him at Mish. Baker has wrestled a very tough schedule this year. It will be good match but Baker will win again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naco228 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I cant even fathom of whats gonna happen at 119 3 state champs, 2 runner-ups, and 3 absolute studs this is gonna be insane.... good luck to em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams don't really equate into individual state. Individuals are what count now, and if you have great individuals on an average or above average team( even a bad team for that matter), then it does'nt matter what team beat who, but rather how those individuals did against those teams. There are kids who are on losing teams, but have great records and go on to win state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnatchSingle Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I would say that Chalfant has a shot, Billy Baker and Aris Allen have a good chance. Cody Phillips at 103, Cashe at 125. Not sure that you really have LOCKS there man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That1Guy Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hawkins handled Nelson at the Tricoff Cashe ran from Tsirtsis at the Tricoff Myers has beaten Runyan for years! Chalfant hasn't wrestled anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark my word people! Merrillville Semi-State will continue to dominate the rest of the state! If the IHSAA would allow wrestlebacks at the semi-state level you would see 4 true semi-state qualifers from Merrillville! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scardy94 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have seen Cashe wrestle...I am a M'ville SS supporter and I do not think he would run from anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back_points3 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 myers and runyan havent wrestled for years and when they did wrestle they were probably bantam and midget, its gonna be the match to watch this year at conseco!!! myers is a cradle whiz and runyan is on a mission this year unstoppable on his feat.

RedTights7 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I understand there are good wrestlers on terrible teams. I listed some in my own statement. I'm just saying if you have more teams that are better that means there are going to be more wrestlers that are better. If Myers has been beating him for years then why was Meyers not in the state finals? Hawkins has handled a lot of kids cept at state, and did he handle him last year at state? Draws mean a lot and sometimes guys just lose. Cashe ran from who? Cashe has wrestled and beat the best this year. Already bumped up and beat Harper. Also I didn't see Harper lacing up the shoes at Tricoff to wrestle him during their dual cuz I bet you anything Cashe would have def bumped up then to. If we are basing it all on individuals then I'm pretty sure NC SS tied for most ranked wrestlers along with Eville. With having the #1 in the state 103 out. Anyone can win. There is noway to pick who has the toughest until after state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnatchSingle Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 i know last year chalfant beat a lot of good wrestlers and then lost to chico this year i think he has beat janney 3 times (ranked 10th), beat that poole kid, and is undefeated. Nelson and Cashe will both win...but we'll see if it is over your merriville boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoneSawJr. Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I am not saying Cashe' is unbeatable but he has already proven so far this year he is the best at his weight class. So I think it is a little silly to be predicting others that have already been defeated by Cashe'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KoKo B-Ware Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That 1 guy, just is in love with merriville. I think there are some good picks there and merriville will have a lot of state placers, but I'm not sure they will have 10 or more champs. There are a lot of good wrestlers around the state...so we'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice135 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It is hard to pick a Crown Point kid to win a title when is the Last time CP had a Champ. They could have 5(Hawkins, Tsirtsis, Meyers, Shrewsbury and Roach) I wouldn't say any where a lock The last time CP had a state champ was Kent Swinehart in 1975. Vlink will get his first champ this year, maybe a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
