Evansville Semi-State

106 no ticket punched by Ferguson? Never in a hundred years could I see that. Smith is a good wrestler but Ferguson has wrestled much better competition than him on the national level with great success. Should be a barn burner match!

 

Never in a hundred years?  Should be a barn burner match?  Doesn't add up.  If it's going to be a barn burner, it shouldn't be too difficult seeing it go either way.  Without blue and silver colored glasses that is...

Never in a hundred years??  But you expect a barn burner?  Which is it?

I'm piling on, bluegray.  I do expect a barn burner. Ferguson is the real deal. His experience is equally countered by smith's.  Reitz has an edge on wreslting room quality.  On the other side, Franklin wrestles a brutal schedule, while reitz's is pretty weak.

Its going to be a great match. I don't think Ferguson will lose and out of all the 106 matches this will be the most intense because of what's riding on it. But not in 100 years to I see Ferguson not punching this ticket because of the level of out of state competition he has wrestled.

He's got a tough ticket round match w/ returning placer Brown. As mentioned in my SS preview, Parity is the word this year in Evansville.

 

In my eyes this is a finals-like match that got stuck in the ticket round, like how his big brother got stuck facing Kelley in the semis and not the finals

What level of "out of state" competition has he had that makes him so much more prepared than D.J.?

The kid goes everywhere and goes to several camps with top placers from schools in Ohio, Missouri and Iowa. I think he also traveled with team Indiana on a few occasions if I remember right not to mention his competition in his own wrestling room. Those matches out of state and the battles I am sure he has in the room will pay dividends for that match. It will be the match to watch at 106 no doubt but I dont see Smith winning it. Its just a shame this match isnt a semi final match instead of a ticket round.

Where was Fergusen last year?  Smith has been to state and wrestled a state champ a 4 point match last year.  I hope he wins but I have Smith winning by 3.

 

WHo has Ferg beat this year?

 

He was behind 2x SQ Damon Kuhn and SQ Josh Davis. I'd say his room/practice partners are status enough to how tough the guy is.

 

With that being said, Smith wrestled Chad Red to a 2 pt match at MD. He is big match proven. 

 

BOTH of the kids are worhty. Fasten your seatbelts wrestling fans...shoud be a doozy!!

I agree. Ferguson, Kuhn and Davis are all Regional Champions too. Smith is a great wrestler but does he have the day in and day out battles that Ferguson has?  We will see Saturday.
