Caleb Spires Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 With the Al Smith less than a week away, what are some potential matches that you can't wait to see or think will be worth the price of admission? 1. 126 - #1 Kyle Ayersman and #3 Nick Crume. Number 1 ranked and number 3 ranked in one of the toughest weight classes across the state. Both men have the stamina to go all 3 rounds and amazing technique. I can honestly see Nick Crume on the upset, but either way, this will probably be the best match of the 2 days. 2. 195 - Any combination between # 2 Kourtney Berry, #4 Alex Skipper, #5 Ben Baker, #8 Jaylin Allen, #9 Brandon Weinkauf and #11 Austin Gibson. The most stacked weight class at the Al Smith. I see Kourtney Berry winning, but the fight for #2 could be anyone. 3. 132 - #4@138 Mitch Hartman and #5 Tommy Forte. Should be one of the marquee semi-final match-ups. I have yet to see Forte, but have heard he's a machine.. I'm predicting Hartman wins and meets #2 Neal Molloy in the finals which will probably be a good match, but with Molloy on top. 4. 138 - #9 Tristan Macri and #11 Brayden Moreau. I am betting on Tristan by major decision. In my mind, the kid is under-ranked, he's solid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maligned Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 At 126, don't forget also that Binion had a better regular season than Crume but got upset by Blanton at state. Binion/Crume in the semi's will be awesome if it happens. And either of them will give Ayersman a very, very interesting finals match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedhalf Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 at 126 i think that ayersman will beat the feild but with crume, boston, and binion in it thats gonna be a good fight for 2nd and 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charger wrestling dad Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 170-HM-Lawrence Davis-12-Jimtown Not sure about this one, he finished 6 th at the Charger Invite, behind 3 wrestlers that are at this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 There are about 10 wrestlers at least at each weight class that are on the watch list. These wrestlers have some wins and close losses to wrestlers in the rankings and therefore the rankings guy wants to keep an eye on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I guess that makes sense except for the fact that two of the wrestlers who placed above him aren't on the watch list. Just a question it, he is the only wrestler at 170 with HM beside his name. Was wondering if you all knew something the rest of us don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I don't know the specifics, but my guess is that he is very low on the watch list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
