ENoblewrestling Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 With all of the negaitivity posted this season about the new weight classes I really did not notice a drop in the talent, skill, and overall wrestling at the finals. The newer weights seemed to be pretty solid, and it didnt seem to me as though 138 and 145 were overly dominant weight classes. I mean they had good wrestlers just like the rest of the weights, and two of the better champs, but on a whole it seemed as though the new weights worked out pretty well. What are your thoguhts?

fwrestler Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 it didnt seem to me as though 138 and 145 were overly dominant weight classes. I think that was because people were avoiding Jackson and Tsirtsis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illegal Crossface Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think that was because people were avoiding Jackson and Tsirtsis. Yeah no one wants to draw a number one ranked kid in the nation first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachM Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I hate to say it, because I am a big fan of the champs at these weights, but 182 and 195 were the weakest top to bottom. 132 was the most dominate. Not a fan of the new weights at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the new weights at all. I've said it all season and also noticed it, 182 and 195 are very diluted. Remember most kids in both these weight classes wouldve only formed 1 weight class last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1894life Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think it differs from team to team. I know that where I am from 182 and 195 were not weak weight classes. The lower classes are still close together. I think they should add a 245 lb weight class too. If there is such a fuss, why not squezze another low class in.

ENoblewrestling Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think that was because people were avoiding Jackson and Tsirtsis. So by that logic wouldn't 152 be loaded then? I will agree that 132 was pretty stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendonKelley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I can think of at least 10 solid kids who would have either been 138 or 145 if it had not been for Tsirtsis or Jackson. And 138 was still a competitive weight class as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a wrestler want to wrestle either jason or jackson I know for a fact if not for Jackson, molloy would be at 138. If not for Tsirtsis, Blake Ruegar and some others form down south woulda been 145. Those 2 were what made the weight weaker. come next year, the 132-145 will be the toughest.

So the two toughest weights had to be 132 and 152 then correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils27 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure 120 was the toughest weight class. 3 nationally ranked kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currentwrestler Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm pretty sure 120 was the toughest weight class. 3 nationally ranked kids. 126 was pretty ridiculous too. Kyle Ayersman 3X state champ (lost in the finals as a freshman, I believe) Cody Phillips 2X state champ, another place as well last year and woulda been fun this year if he would have been healthy Cody LeCount How many ISWA state titles? Has he placed nationally yet? Chandler Carroll 3rd as a freshman last year and nearly pulled a Petrov on Campbell last year in the semi's Nick Crume beat Carroll 5-0 in the semi state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
