decbell1 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 just think of the worst possible scenario and thats what will happen i am thinking some thing like PM Vs Cp Cathedral Vs MD on one side Remember, they could always do it like the other sports.... CP vs. ELK Mem Bellmont vs. Peru CAthedral vs. PM Roncalli vs. EMD and just do a geographical draw the same every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornton Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 if it comes out exactly according to rankings it would be: Perry Meridian vs Peru Cathedral vs Roncalli Mater Dei vs Elkhart Memorial Crown Point vs Bellmont this would provide an interesting rematch of Cathedral and Roncalli (I think that match is this week), a potential rematch of either Cathedral or Roncalli with Perry Meridian as well as a potential rematch of last year's Crown Point/Mater Dei match. I am sure what Zach opined will likely happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth34 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Jimtown: #7 Elkhart Memorial and #8 Penn I agree those two are the favorites. Don't sleep on the Jimmies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decbell1 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 By having the top 4 teams separated like this, it will make for one helluva semifinal round but the first round will not be nearly as competitive as it has been in recent years, which I think is a little disappointing. I was hoping for something big in each round to send team state out with a bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedhalf Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think if Cathedral gets to the finals they will send the team state out with a bang and an upset over Perry that would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for something big in each round to send team state out with a bang I think Cathedral vs either Elkhart or Penn has some interesting match ups...Perry Meridian and Roncalli renew their Indy southside rivalry and the 2 teams with the most team state appearences (Bellmont and Mater Dei) has some great matches, especially in the upper weights and if Lannert bumps up to meet Faroute.

panther83 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Elkhart Memorial will not beat Penn in a head to head dual, and Penn has already beaten the Jimmies soundly this year. I look for a 12-15 point victory in a Head to head matchup with the Chargers and Kingsmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Elkhart Memorial will not beat Penn in a head to head dual, and Penn has already beaten the Jimmies soundly this year. If Memorial wrestles like they did at the Al Smith, I'd pick them over Penn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panther83 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Not to take anything away from EMHS, they have one of the best teams they have had in years, but an individual tournament versus a head to head are 2 totally different things. They wrestled fantastic at Al Smith and at their own Charger invitational where they came out ahead of the kingsmen. But, individual tournament are seeding and luck of the draw, head to head. I have to give the nod to Penn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to give the nod to Penn. I will agree with you saying that tournament style is a lot different from dual meets. I mean, Penn beat us(Jimtown) by about 30 points the week before the Al Smith and they barely did better than us at the Al Smith. It could go either way, both teams are obviously some of the best in the state. And as much as I would love for Jimtown to pull out the upset at sectionals, I would also love to see Memorial face Penn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogoplata89 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Roncalli, Warren Central. and Greenfield- Central. Gonna be an interesting Shelbyville Sectional. Winner of that will win the Connersville regional and will have a date with #1 perry saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of these teams gets a majority of #1 seeds, then the #2 and #3 seeds could split those totals giving the top team a clearer path. It will be interesting.

HumphreyWrestling Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It is great to see the top teams split up at this years Team State! I always felt like the finals were a let down when the top two teams already squared off. I know from the days when we won back to back State Championships at Lawrence North we had some amazingly close duals with Mater Dei and Portage but then won in the finals by over 30 points. Believe me it was great to win the State Championships like that but last year when I watched as a spectator instead of a coach on the sideline, I know it was less exciting. This year should have unbelievable semis and finals duals. The top two teams will definitely go head to head for it all in the end! Good luck to all the teams!

KarlHungus Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 a dual meet with 14 decisions!!! Now that would be exciting. I was trying to find bonus points but they would probably be scarce. Maybe 195 for EM and HWT for PENN. Two smart coaching staffs that will know how to prepare their wrestlers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I could see bonus points at 182, 195, and heavyweight. Other than that, I'm not sure there would be. Maybe 160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
