Takedown219 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 2 weeks away, this meet is always fun to watch and should be a hell of a meet this year. I think this one will come down to who can score the most bonus points, a lot of good swing matches including 3 potential matchups with wrestlers ranked in the top 10 120: #8 Garcia v #4 Fuqua 160: #8 Steveson v #7 Schurg 220: #7: Nickson v #1 Kral Thoughts on this classic rivalry?

Region Watcher Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I thought merrillville had a chance with Garcia and Padilla@138 with halsted out Predictions 103 Garza m 113 Schurg cp 120 Fuqua d Garcia 126 burlison CP 132 Padilla m( if halsted is out) 138 Burlison CP 145 Tsirtsis CP 152 Fuqua d sandefer 160 Steveson d Schurg 170 peppers m 182 Deluna m 195 Berry m 220 Kral cp Hwt Swope cp Should be real close... I think Garcia can take Fuqua at 120 and if Merrillvilles heavy weight can win then the pirates can really make this close. Whats the chances of seeing berry move up to take on Kral? Kral ducked him last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Yea I know CP is getting Bonus points at 45. I think Fuqua and Garcia will be a good match. I think merrillville had a better chance with Garcia d burlison costaksis at 132 and Padilla d burlison. I think merrillville could bump but then there is a chance berrys back up loses to langbehn and Kral beats berry could be some big swings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2matdawgs Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 its funny how all the post going back to the traicoff 2yrs ago say that kral ducked knura, and then merr vs cp last year kral ducked berry, now again will kral duck berry again? it is not krals fault who he will wrestle, it is the coaches decision, if anyone was at ony of these meets, kral was warming up and ready to go, why pass blame on a wrestler for a coaches decision. this is not the first time this has happened, for any team, and wont be the last, yes it would be a great match, but why blame the wrestler!

I'm with you 100% percent... Not a personal shot at Kral. I've never met him and he carries himself like a great kid. I don't take one thing away from Kral or any wrestler in that circumstance. Its a 99% percent coaches decision and always should be. I leave that 1% percent out there because someone of Krals stature and ablility probably has a pretty strong say on whether he wants to go out there and give it a go in that situation. Quite frankly I would love to see it!!! No matter what it will be closer than last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I think there will be some good individual matches but as far as the team score merrillville doesn't match up against cp. I can see a 20 point win for cp. I also agree that it's the coaches decision to bump up kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takedown219 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 I agree with CP being the favorite but by 20? No way. And I'd personally love to see the Kral-Berry matchup, both are monsters, I could be wrong but I don't think either of them have given up an offensive point this year and I dont think Kourtney has wrestled out of the first period this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I referenced last year's Traicoff (not TWO years ago), I mentioned that CP opted not to wrestle Kral against Knura. I didn't place any blame on anyone specifically.

WC182Dad Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Tyler personally would never duck anyone, and Berry is a great athlete would be a great matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Campbell Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Kral would definitely step up given the opportunity from his coaches. Coaching is about strategy not ego. I've seen Tyler take his lumps in his younger years taking on older more experienced wrestlers. I doubt he's afraid to take on anyone now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruschi Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think the big match will be if Halsted wrestles? What is his injury and why has he been out so long? Also why was Berry out at Al Smith? Both keys. Also Sandefer and Fuqua is big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hawaiian Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I agree with CP being the favorite but by 20? No way. And I'd personally love to see the Kral-Berry matchup, both are monsters, I could be wrong but I don't think either of them have given up an offensive point this year and I dont think Kourtney has wrestled out of the first period this year Dont think this match up happens because for whatever reason the CP coaches have been very leary of letting Kral wrestle highly ranked wrestlers prior to sectionals. I am saying 100% the coaches make this choice for Tyler, so please understand the context of the statement. Also Kral has been scored on this year, Kinney of Cathedral took him down and scored back points in a 8-4 match at Traicoff earlier this year...

DuneFan Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I saw the Kral-Kinney match and there is no way Kinney should have gotten any points. It was just a roll thru with Kral ending up on top and getting back points. Kral was not on his back more than a micro-second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Region Watcher Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Kral will have a tough one tonight. I believe Nickson has only on loss and its was in OT. You never know... Berry may bump up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlHungus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I would guess no bumps in the upper weights. Merrillville's HWT is much improved and is close to even money with Swope IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
