loshe8 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 So after placing my picks for the 4 I believe will move on in each weight class, I had a hard time leaving some of the wrestlers off the list. My mind picked the 4 state-bound wrestlers, but my heart really wanted to pick differently in some cases. This being said, here is a "dark horse" pick in each of the weight classes. My heart wanted to have a chance to pick as well! Here goes: 103: Benjamin Fiechter (Southern Wells) 112: Blake Adams (Bellmont) 119: Phillip Gerber (Bluffton) 125: Jordan Armantrout (Muncie South) 130: Brayden Moreau (Garrett) 135: Cody Zink (Woodlan) 140: TJ Burnfield (South Adams) 145: Kyle King (Bluffton) 152: Levi Jones (Southern Wells) 160: Cain Grogg (Southern Wells) 171: Tyler Unsicker (Heritage) 189: Corey Crabtree (Muncie South) 215: Matt James (Jay County) 285: Daniel Meyer (Bellmont) P.S. I know some of these are not huge upsets, but it would pleasantly surprise me if these guys would move on to state! Anyone else care to share?

NavyGonzo Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 This one would not shock me at all... Tough draw to do it, but I can see it happening @ 130 Carlin Hormann- Bellmont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler012345 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 103: Cody Walburn (Adams Central) 112: Derek Roe (Adams Central) 119: Isaiah Bradley (Muncie South) 125: Bobby Perry (Bluffton) 130: Carlin Hormann (Bellmont) 135: Brooks Faurote (Bellmont) 140: TJ Burnfield (South Adams) 145: Cody Harper (Yorktown) 152: Nick Duke (Marion) 160: Cain Grogg (Southern Wells) 171: Austin Striggle (Whitko) 189: Grant Brown (Yorktown) 215: Andrew Challfant (Whinchester) 285: Daniel Meyer (Bellmont) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decbell1 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 If Hormann were to somehow get by Crume, he has lost to Rothgeb twice in OT. The last time he lost on a coin flip of a takedown call. He is definitely right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thtayven91 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Chalfant at 215 is pretty tough. Not quite as good as his brother Adam but he's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftyfeet Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 yeah it surprised me that nobody picked duke at 52? both of them handled timmerman so i think it should be close. duke is tough and gonna be hard to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimtown 138 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 If Hormann were to somehow get by Crume, he has lost to Rothgeb twice in OT. The last time he lost on a coin flip of a takedown call. He is definitely right there. Crume and Hormann have wrestled twice in the past with Crume winning both, the last was at the Al Smith with Crume winning 13-6. Also Crume and Rothgeb wrestled at the ISWA SB-JR Folkstyle State tourney with Crume winning a close 13-11 match, I know it's no semistate ticket round win... Here's a quote from George Harrison's song entitled "Darkhorse"- You thought you had got me in your grip, looks like you was not so smart, And I became too slippery for you, But let me say that was nothing new. So since no one has added him to their predictions, I wouldn't count Collin out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crume just got one of those draws that most would love to avoid. If Crume makes it through, it will be very deserving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck_and_run Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hey Loshe the ACAC called they want there finalist back. This was pretty much a direct list of the ACAC conference finals with a few Belmont guys thrown in there. 9 of 14 to be exact. THats cool though, but when all your dark horses come from the same regional it is kinda laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THats cool though, but when all your dark horses come from the same regional it is kinda laughable. That is funny...I didn't realize that! I guess when you have graduated from Adams Central, currently teach at South Adams, and have a brother-in-law who coaches Southern Wells, that's what happens!

wrestlinghog Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 yeah it surprised me that nobody picked duke at 52? both of them handled timmerman so i think it should be close. duke is tough and gonna be hard to beat Nick Duke could surprise people, but saying that he handled Timmerman like LaRowe is a little off. Nick Duke beat Timmerman 7-4. Larowe beat Timmerman 8-1 and then pinned him in another match. On any day one good wrestler can beat another, alot of variables, sickness, injuries, mental focus, wrestling style. Chris Hogendobler wrestled Zack Corpe two weeks in a row, Chris lost the first match 11-2 and lost the second 7-3. And he has lost to Larowe twice, the first time he got pinned (shoulder injury didn't finish the Munster Tournament), and the second recently at Regionals 10-3 (was a little sick, puking the next day). Maybe at 100% Chris Hogendobler could beat LaRowe, but maybe not. At Regionals LaRowe lost to Corpe 15-3, more than Chris ever lost to Corpe, alot of variables go into each match.

swiftyfeet Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 ok i see what youre saying about score but i witnessed the match and duke didnt get a TD and some near fall. but no biggie but i believe timmermans points were 1 cut, one unsportmanlike and duke stumbled lost his footing and tripped and timmerman got the TD so score close but def dominated the whole match. so a major could have easily been the final of the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum21 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I watched the Duke vs. Timmerman match and Duke did not dominate him. There was a scramble situation and Duke ended up on top for a five point move (if I remember correctly). I am not saying anything bad against Duke but it was a match that could go either way. Best of luck to both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railroadernation Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 @ 145 another schendel vs. ehr match would be good. The first two matches were close and wouldn't surprise me if schendel won this won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler012345 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I can see the Ehr vs Schendel match being another close scoring match with Ehr controlling the majority of the match, should be a good match but i am picking Ehr in a very good match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICY Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I wouldn't say Ehr ever controlled either of the matches--Schendel had multiple close call takedowns, with Ehr just playing defense. Tough weightclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2CJ41 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Please, please, please take that back, your predictions are not very good, especially when you "put money" on them. Cheer for Ehr, PLEASE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Meska at 130 is going to turn some heads I believe he has been steooing up his game week by week Is steooing up legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivytechvarsity Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 lets try that again...Meska is going to make some noise at 130 he has been STEPPING up his game week by week...sorry about the confusion lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinl Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Darkhorse at 119? Ali Al-Timeemy. Could be the most physically strong 119 in the Semi-state. If Ross is looking past him to Miller/Bradley or Lovejoy, Ali can make him pay. He has been wrestling ranked wrestlers for the past four weeks and has been holding his own aganst a pretty tough schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
