BIGJOESCOUT Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Van Winkle beat Mattingly by Pin in 1:20, in the MD Me Dual. So How can you have Mattingly first in HWT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m25443 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 anybody else have any predictions? I predict that 160 Welch will wrestle for Castle (CA), not Reitz ®, as currently listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUBjj171 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 i think Wedding and Welch will be tight but i still like Welch I really dont think Sims will beat Welch at 160. The boy is a monster already and when they hit tournament time Welch is firing on all cylinders. I really wish these two wouldve wrestled at the 5-Way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtv2112 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 anybody else have any predictions? I would think Centrals 140 (B. Kelley) could crack the top four. I recall he beat the Castle 140 at Mooresville tournament in a close match. I think Simms over Welch is doubtful at best. His injury flared up at MD once he faced stiff competition. He can probably coast past most wrestlers, but Welch is not most wrestlers. It would have been a tall order if healthy. They may be on similar skill level, but Welch has more gas in the tank.

There may be 1 or 2 upsets but that is pretty well the way I see it. and if there is an upset it will be between the ones you have listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theckman Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think Kelley is Central's 135 lber. and shouldn't be overlooked. The kid is a heck of a wrestler. Very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyslamU Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Kelley from Central wrestled at 130 against Schnarr and lost in a close match. His skill level is very high and good cardio as well. Only thing that will hold him back a little is the fact that he is a freshman. However given his skill set he could do very good up to semi-state maybe beyond but thats a long ways off.

I agree. He has very good skills, especially for a freshman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon H Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I agree I overlooked some very good kids. These are just my picks as the favorites in the weight class. As far as 112, we could add Johns, Turi, and Mastison in the mix also. I like several kids on Memorial, most notably Sandwith at 189. However, I think Boots is a clear favorite. Could Sandwith win, absolutely! Same goes for 140, Lannert is definitely capable but I think Rueger is the favorite............. Obviously, I think 119 and 145 are up for grabs. My most anticipated match will be Moody and Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosseallstar812 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I heard Mastison is dropping to 103 or atleast he was going to try too. I don't know if that is still true or not,but he could be good if he gets down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just1guy Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Brendon Kelly has wrestled 130 all year for Ev. Central. His only two losses of the year are Schnarr from Reitz and Chambers from Jasper(Which he later beat). Quality wrestler, with wins over Brown of Castle and Chambers of Jasper. Brendon is the real deal, freshman or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jap1971 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Wow! Win over Brown is impressive. Loss to Schnarr must have been early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyslamU Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Mitch (130) is not to bad a wrestler with a 21-5 record after Harrison 10-way, Zionsville and Connersville. Him and his twin brother Mason (215) (18-6) are only sophomores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BodyslamU Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Rumor has it Chad Welch hurt an arm and may be out the rest of the year. I personal hope it's not true because he is an outstanding wrestler and young man. Would really suck for this to happen in his senior year! Has anybody else heard this?

Wrestling Mole Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's the usual 4 suspects dominating the platform... MD, Reitz, Castle and Memorial. This tournament used to get sooooo much more competition from North, Bosse, Harrison and Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyslamU Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That's good news too me that Welch isn't hurt but bad news too every other 160 pounder in the state! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Brigade Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Chad Welch is one tough hombre. Broken nose, busted arm, it doesn't matter--he won't make any excuses. Not too many wrestlers out there as tough as the Welches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too many wrestlers out there as tough as the Welches. i remember those boys coming into wrestle with the us in high school when they were in 8th grade. You couldnt scare them off then. They are gonna be a force when they are in college. Now think about how rough its been for Luke Welch growing up with them AND being only 119 haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyslamU Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Not trying to put my cart before my horse but have twins ever won state in the same year? Think it would be pretty rare in the whole country. We could see something epic this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
