hook and half Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Deepest Weight Class-138 HM: 106-132-220 Weakest Weight Class- 170 HM: 195-285-120 Most anticipated match 1. Saul Ervin vs. Kyle Luiguis- Last year Ervin won 3-1 in the finals 2. Joe Lee vs Burk Van Horn- Indiana’s #1 versus #2 3. Avery Buckman vs Jaden Sonner Both are defending classic champions 4. Brett Henson vs Wade Ripple- Possible Semi State Finals match and top ten hwts Question to be answered 1. Can Hinderlifter or Rioux give Kentucky’s stud middle schooler a match at 106? 2. Will Van Horn or Lee bump up or down to avoid facing each other? 3. Can Mason Miranda pull the upset of Ervin or Luigis? 4. How good is Sellmer? He is having a great year in beating Melloh of Cathedral and losing to Rumph in OT. I can see him getting 1st or 5th as 138 is loaded! 5. Who from Avon will have a mediocre tournament but make it to state? Last year Jacob Clark finished 5th at Mater Dei but 7th at state. Conley finished 5th at Mater Dei and was a SQ. 6. Most importantly, who wins the team race?? Union County beat Castle worse than Mater Dei did. Team Rankings- Union County #1, Avon #2, Mater Dei #3. How many state champs will come from the classic? Every year seems to produce around 3-7 state champs. Predictions- I say 9 state champs #1 (KY) Union Zeke Escalena #1 Avon Asa Garcia #2 (KY) St. X Nate Wheeler #1 (KY) Union Saul Ervin #1 (KY) Union Bryce Sheffer #1 MD Joe Lee #2 FC. Van Horn #3 (KY) Union Avery Buckman great write-up! escalara will not get past hinderliter or rioux... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Horn #3 (KY) Union Avery Buckman Great tournament, But a couple of points , Mason Miranda beating Luigis is not a upset .. both are very strong wrestlers .. Miranda finished ahead of Luigis at IHPO this year ... I think it's a close match if it happens with Miranda winning .. Sellmer is a good wrestler and has been on the rise for a couple of years but finally putting it all together this year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frigginhurts Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Can't wait to see how Avon stacks up at EMD. I like that only Avon thinks the Avon kids have a chance.It might be like at Semi State 2 years ago in Evansville when Avon won and they would not announce it or give Avon the award. Avon's Coach had to go up to the head table and ask for it. any where in Evansville is a VERY tough place to win, even when you win. :-) the reason it took so long was because it was a TIE. and they were trying to get confirmation from the IHSAA if they had a tie break policy in place. they ended up giving the trophy to Avon but then found out on Tuesday that there was NOT a tie break and they awarded both Avon and MD co-championships. pridewrestler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IHSAA website under wrestling, clearly list Avon as the Semi State Champions. I don't know how to get more official than that. Still a tough place to win even when the IHSAA declares you as the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InjuredReserve Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 There is not a single weight class full this year. 132 has 1 bye and the rest has 2 or more. Some weight classes only have 2-3 first round matches. Shouldn't be a problem to get through 2ND round which is normally quarters and first round of comes combined.

SWSpectator Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I agree, Singleton is good, but I think the best he could do is 3rd being on the same side as Joe Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
