formerlightweight Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I know who I'm picking for this weight but for fear of jinxing him, like I have done with almost everyone of my publicly expressed picks, I'm going to keep it to myself until it is all said and done.

bigb70 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think Kieffer will slip by Raley on Friday. Justin has handled everyone this season except Wright (including Johns). I also see Wright winning another title under the lights! Kieffer 13- Johns 11, is not getting handled. that is action packed and i can't wait to see all these young men go for IT,GOOD LUCK TO ALL IN 103-HWT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatChick76 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The more I look at the match-ups, the more I'm convinced that 119 is the hardest weight class this year top to bottom...who knows the outcome, but I say crown this champ with a captial "C"!

VanSkyock Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Kiefer over raley, and kenney over kiefer, and brooks over eppert, then kenney vs brooks in the quarer finals with kenney vs wright in the finals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorktownPatriot Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Vanskyock, as much as I would love to see Casey in the finals, the only way I see it possible is if Brooks does beat Eppert. I know Casey and his family and hope he is under the lights. But I have 119 as follows. Wright Brooks Kenney Johns Eppert Bevans Raley Bradley See you all Friday night and Saturday!!!!!

VanSkyock Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thats what we are hoping for... i think brooks matches up gppd against eppert.... and kenney obviously matches up better against brooks, seeing how he beat him in the off season. However, a lot does have to happen for anyone in this weight class to be under the lights. There is no easy route, and everything has to fall into place. Posted above is what i HOPE happens, or IF brooks beats eppert and so on and so forth. Wish i could be there.... 1000 miles away but will be watching on line!

WrestlingGURU189 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I just dont think that Kenny matches up well with Raley... ie. the state finals last year 7-3 raley had 3 takedowns and 1 escape and Kenny had 3 escapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanSkyock Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Raley has to win first round before anyting, also Kenney was def flat and made Raley look good last year, that just wont happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RStorey Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think Brooks will be taking home the gold and here is why. Brooks beat Napules farily well. Tsirtis beat Wright. Tsirtis beat Napules. Napules beat Tsitis. I think Brooks and Wright would be a very fun match up to watch. Thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierTrip Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This weight class is absolutely INSANE!!! I have no clue who I'm picking yet. Guess I'll have to flip a coin. I'm a big Raley fan but man, what a first round match! It would also be nice to see Brooks finally get a title but Wright's been on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a feeling throughout the last to score would win. Johns also was fighting an injury at that time and required the match to be stopped I know once, maybe twice. A rematch will be awesome.

BBW2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thats what we are hoping for... i think brooks matches up gppd against eppert.... and kenney obviously matches up better against brooks, seeing how he beat him in the off season.

Brooks has never lost too Kenny, Folkstyle state, Brooks over Kenny 11-1 Freestyle state Brooks won 3-3 with Kenny winning first period with a throw and Brooks turned it on and was 5-1 second and 7-1 in the third. Was a nice throw by Kenny though!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have their work cut out for them but I know who I would pick if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanSkyock Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 My apologies, either way i have eppert losing to brooks. Which i think will work to kenney's advantage. He matches up a lil better against brooks then he does eppert, just becuse of the style of wrestling. The top bracket is so hard to determine, it is stacked with all great wrestlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks beats Petrov 4-0 This year at semi state Brooks beats Kenny 11-1 Last year at Folkstyle state I know wrestlers improve over years and match up diffrently against eachother, but just some facts that help me make my decision ???

SeanMcMurray Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Brooks beats Petrov 4-0 This year at semi state Brooks beats Kenny 11-1 Last year at Folkstyle state Not something I would consider good information... I'm definately pulling for my buddy Petrov. He looks very smooth this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advancedelectrolyte Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 this weight class really isnt as hard to try to pick as it seems. As we all know, Wright and Eppert turn it on at state. Wright will dominate until he gets to johns where he will once again come out on top. Eppert will pull through Brooks i believe, but it could go the other way. Either way Wright will explode in the finals on his way to being a 3 timer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
