Y2CJ41 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 This may be the toughest New Castle Semi State I have ever seen. There will be 20 or more ranked wrestlers staying home next week. As always, brutal ticket round match ups with two top 10 ranked wrestlers. 5 #1 Ranked Wrestlers in the tournament. 106 State Ranked Wrestlers #3 Suhas Chundi- Carmel #5 Bryce Lowery- Roncalli #7 Josh Johnson- Cardinal Ritter #9 Evan Dickey- Cathedral #19 Romello Williams- Anderson Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #6 Keaton Morton- Perry Meridian #7 Nathan Smith- Southport #8 Garrett Condo- Milan Potential Match-ups #5 Bryce Lowery vs #19 Romelo Williams ticket round Lowery has been on fire in his freshman campaign and is looking to take his first trip to state with his older brother. #9 Evan Dickey vs #6ss Keaton Morton These two have not wrestled this year. Morton has an awkward style that could give Dickey issues, but Dickey has experience on the floor at New Castle. #3 Suhas Chundi vs #7ss Nathan Smith Chundi has been here before and the podium at state and it looks like he should have a return trip. #7 Johnson vs #5 Lowery Rematch from sectionals in the semi finals. #9 Dickey vs #3 Chundi Semi-finals #3 Chundi vs #5 Lowery Finals 1st Round Picks Johnson over Condo (4 over 1) Rodriguez over Vest Lowery over Hale Williams over Coffman Dickey over Cornelius Morton over Holcomb Chundi over Fye Smith over Lengerich Tickets Punched Lowery, Chundi, Dickey, Johnson Alpha Dogs Lowery and Chundi 113 State Ranked Wrestlers #1 Alex Cottey- Perry Meridian #4 Elijah Anthony- Frankfort #8 Blake Wolf- East Central #10 Marquarias Wilburn- Warren Central #11 Logan Carrender LN #12 Brac Hooper Carmel #14 Kody Glithero Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #8 Griffin Ingalls Fishers Potential Match-ups #11 Carrender vs #4 Anthony ticket round Anthony has had two incredible seasons so far, but Senior Carrender will be a tough out. His style is awkward and he is extremely strong. Anthony knocked him off in ticket round last year. #8 Wolf vs #8ss Ingalls first round Haven’t seen much about this match-up. Ingalls has a win over Wilburn and has been competitive all year. Winner has the privilege of #1 Alex Cottey in the ticket round. #10 Wilburn vs #12 Hooper ticket round. These two have had 2 opportunities to wrestle but it hasn’t happened yet. Wilburn has beat Carrender twice which Hooper lost to in a major decision. Hooper pinned Ingalls who beat Wilburn early in the year. #14 Glithero vs #4 Anthony Semis Glithero is coming off a huge win over Alex Cottey and Anthony is coming off two straight losses to Hooper. Should be a good one. 1st Round Picks Glithero over Ellingwood Driver over Necessary Carrender over Bullock Anthony over Gardner Wolf over Ingalls Cottey over Reese Hooper over Marker Wilburn over Reyes Tickets Punched Cottey, Glithero, Anthony, Wilburn Alpha Dog Alex Cottey 120 State Ranked Wrestlers #1 Zeke Seltzer- Cathedral #4 Carson Eldred- Westfield #7 Christian White- New Palestine #10 Anthony Hughes- Lawrence North #13 Carleton Perry- Warren Central #14 Jacob Simone- Hamilton Southeastern #19 Brevan Thrine- New Castle Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #6 Antonio Jefferson LC Potential Match-ups #1 Seltzer vs #14 Simone. Two state place winners do battle to see who gets a chance to go back to Bankers Life. Simone had Eldred on the ropes last week and doesn’t want to end his career at New Castle. #6SS Jefferson vs Thrine first round Thrine has had an amazing freshman campaign with his only loss coming by major to Christian White. Jefferson has been here before and lost the last two years. Senior versus freshman. Winner gets #7 Christian White White would be the favorite over Thrine. Jefferson may pull the second 4 over 1 here and make the ticket round even crazier. #13 Perry vs #10 Hughes These two have wrestled several times over the years with Hughes taking the last one at MIC. Perry is coming off back to back wins over White as well as wins over Glithero and Jefferson who have defeated Hughes. But Hughes tech falled AJ Gunn from Carmel who has a win over Perry. #1 Seltzer vs #7 White semis. #4 Eldred vs #10/#13 Hughes/White 1st Round Picks Seltzer over Myers Simone over Haggerty Jefferson over Thrine White over Pritchett Eldred over Thang Dietz over Schneider Perry over Farling Hughes over Bray Tickets Punched Seltzer, Eldred, Perry, White Alpha Dog Zeke Seltzer 126 State Ranked Wrestlers #5 Brayden Lowery Roncalli #6 David Pierson- Warren Central #16 Luke Gonzalez- Cathedral #19 Cameron Toole- Lebanon #20 Joey Langeman- Carmel Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #7 Jeremiah Henderson- Lawrence North Potential Match-ups #19 Toole vs Brandon first round Brandon took Pierson down at regionals and is a very hard nosed wrestler. Wouldn’t be surprised to see an upset here. Followed with a ticket round with either super frosh Searcy from East Central or Jeremiah Henderson who has had an up and down year but is dangerous. #5 Lowery vs #16 Gonzalez ticket round Gonzalez has kept matches close with elite level guys all year and had a great Al Smith. Lowery shouldn’t overlook him. #20 Langeman vs Dennison Dennison has had a great year at 33-1, but I suspect Carmel will have Langeman ready. #5 Lowery vs #6 Pierson Finals Lowery won at Marion County 1-0. Should be another great battle. 1st Round Picks Toole over Ashton Searcy over Henderson Lowery over Drilik Gonzalez over Maitland Otto over Johnson Pierson over Lauy Dennison over Bertram Langeman over Vinson Tickets Punched Lowery, Pierson, Toole, Langeman Alpha Dog Brayden Lowery 132 State Ranked Wrestlers #2 Matt Koontz- Perry Meridian #7 Aundre Beatty- Warren Central #9 Andrew Wilson- Cathedral #10 Luke Goodwin- Southport #12 Sebastian Bryant- North Central #16 Jared Brown- Pendleton Heights #17 Sam Slivka- Roncalli Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #8 Hudson Harreld- Zionsville Potential Match-ups #7 Beatty vs #16 Brown ticket round. Two state qualifiers battling it out to see who goes to the Bank. Beatty had a great regional beating both #2 Koontz 7-0 and #17 Slivka to take home the title. #10 Goodwin vs Frazier. 4 over 1 potential here. Goodwin had a brutal regional with Beatty, Koontz, Slivka and himself. He has a win over Frazier over the summer. Winner gets #9 Wilson to punch a ticket. Wilson only has 7 matches this season due to injury but has been to state before. #8ss Harreld vs #17 Slivka ticket round. Slivka was a regional champion year that didn’t make it to state. Look for him to punch a ticket. #12 Bryant vs #2 Koontz ticket round. This is the premier ticket round match as both of these kids should be placers. Bryant has dominated since dropping to 132 with his only loss being Beatty. 1st Round Picks Beatty over Lonneman Brown over Merkel Goodwin over Frazier Wilson over Lloyd Harreld over Bustamante Slivka over Sherwood Bryant over Barrett Koontz over Walston Tickets Punched Beatty, Koontz, Goodwin, Slivka Alpha Dog Aundre Beatty 138 State Ranked Wrestlers #2 Logan Bailey- Cathedral #4 Logan Wagner- Zionsville #7 Brendan Mattingly- Carmel #8 Jevian Ross- Warren Central #14 Dylan Dorman- Greenfield-Central Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #6 David Page- Roncalli #8 Max Naselroad- Alexandria Potential Match-ups #2 Bailey vs #8 Ross. Brutal matchup of two kids that both should place at state. Both wrestlers have lost in the ticket round twice in their careers. Bailey lost to Beatty from Warren Central last year and Seth Johnson as a freshman. Ross has lost to Wilkerson and Caleb Oliver. Should be some fireworks In this one. #2Bailey/#8 Ross vs #7 Mattingly Semis #4 Wagner waiting in finals 1st Round Picks Walsh over Morgan Mattingly over Johnson Bailey over Miles Ross over Lemieux Dorman over Smith Lawson over Crouch Wagner over Page Naselroad over Euson Tickets Punched Bailey, Wagner, Mattingly, Dorman Alpha Dogs Logan Bailey 145 State Ranked Wrestlers #1 Alec Viduya- Roncalli #6 Chris Wilkerson- Mount Vernon #7 Jajuan Anderson- Warren Central #9 Jeff Dunasky- Guerin Catholic #13 Jake Shafer- Carmel #14 Gabe Phillips- Centerville #14 Reece Luhmann- Hamilton Southeastern #17 Garrett Stewart- Cathedral Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #8 Brady Mckivitz- Perry Meridian Potential Match-ups #9 Dunasky vs #7 Anderson ticket round. This should be a great ticket round matchup. Dunasky is trying to be Guerins first ever state qualifier. He lost to Warren Centrals Antwaun Graves last year in the ticket round. Anderson has wins over Luhmann, Mckivitz, Stewart, Shafer, and Wilkerson. #8ss Mckivitz vs #14 Phillips first round. Mckivitz has had a solid season with some solid wins and some losses in Perrys brutal schedule. Luhmann is waiting in the wings for the winner for a ranked ticket round matchup. #17 Stewart vs #13 Shafer first round. Stewart is a huge 145 but has taken a lot of losses. Wolf had a great regional tournament overturning some losses from earlier in the year. #1 Viduya vs #6 Wilkerson ticket round. This is another brutal ticket round that leaves behind a projected state place winner. Viduya has been on a different level this year. 1st Round Picks Dunasky over McDonald Anderson over Bohan Luhmann over Nixon Phillips over McKivitz Wolf over Taylor Shafer over Stewart Viduya over Linkel Wilkerson over Lindamood Tickets Punched Viduya, Anderson, Luhmann, Shafer Alpha Dog Alec Viduya 152 State Ranked wrestlers #1 Brice Coleman- Warren Central #3 Bryer Hall- East Central #6 Tyce Frejie- Roncalli #10 Shane Bates- Zionsville #18 Aidan Alford- Mount Vernon Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #4 Noah Baker- Perry Meridian #7 Tyler Jones- Lawrence Central #8 Tyler Vredeveld- Centerville Potential Match-ups #4ss Baker vs #18 Alford first round. Bake'rs match count is not indicative of his skill. Should be a great match followed with a ticket round date with #10 Bates. #3 Hall vs #6 Frejie ticket round. This is a huge matchup. Hall is trying to get back to state after losing to Leavell last year in the ticket round. Frejie has been to the show several times and doesn’t want to end his career at New Castle. #1 Coleman vs #8ss Vredeveld. Centerville's only loss this year is to Bryer Hall in the Regional finals. Coleman is looking to make his first trip to state after losing to Rodgers in the ticket round last year. #3Hall/#6 Frejie vs #1 Coleman Finals 1st Round Picks Bates over Foster Baker over Alford Hall over Ginella Frejie over Urasky Jones over Wills Mobley over McLaren Coleman over Lemaster Vredeveld over Fox Tickets Punched Coleman, Hall, Bates, Jones Alpha Dog Brice Coleman 160 State Ranked Wrestlers #3 Elliott Rodgers- Cathedral #4 Cooper Noehre- Greenfield Central #12 Dante Akins- Indianapolis Lutheran #14 Damon Mcclain- Warren Central #15 Andrew Roth- Lawrenceburg #20 Luke Davis- Zionsville Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #7 Josh Moore- Southport #8 Max Hayes- Mount Vernon Potential Match-ups This weight is pretty spread out on the top ranked wrestlers. #8SS Max Hayes vs #14 Damon McClain first round. Hayes has been a tough wrestler for years. McClain has been wrestling well winning the Marion County and MIC tournaments. #14 McClain vs #20 Davis ticket round. Davis is coming off a great Regional tournament and is rewarded with the higher ranked McClain in ticket round. #15 Roth vs #12 Akins. Akins has to get through a very tough Goodner first from the Deaf school. He pinned Hayes last week. I could be wrong, but Akins might be the first state qualifier for Lutheran. #3 Rodgers vs #4 Noehre in semis to rematch the state finals from last year. Their matchup earlier this year ended with a crazy funk roll from Rodgers for the win late in the third. 1st Round Picks Rodgers over Moore Williamson over Carr Noehre over Butterfield Mitchell over Lowe Davis over Payne McClain over Hayes Roth over Weakley Akins over Goodner Tickets Punched Noehre, McClain, Rodgers, Akins Alpha Dogs Cooper Noehre and Elliott Rodgers 170 State Ranked Wrestlers #7 Tyler Wagner- Cathedral #8 Bradley Harrington- North Central #9 Gabe Davin Carmel #15 Tytus Ragle- New Castle Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #3 Jajuan Dale- Perry Meridian #6 Chase Poynter- Zionsville #7 Ronan Hiner- Hamilton Southeastern #8 Ty Welliever- Southmont Potential Match-ups #4SS Dale vs #8SS Welliever first round. Winner gets #8 Harrington in the ticket round. Harrington is a huge 170 after making the drop from 182 earlier in the year. #9 Davin vs #15 Ragle ticket round. Really tough ticket round for Ragle who was winning in Regional finals before getting thrown and pinned. #6SS Poynter vs Mpole. Mpole is an unbelievable athlete with a great story of how he came to the United States. Winner has Malson/Bishop in ticket round. #7 Wagner vs #7ss Hiner. These two have wrestled each other their whole lives. Don’t expect Hiner to get blown out, he may even steal this ticket from Cathedral. 1st Round Picks Dale over Welliever Harrington over Calderon Davin over Mosconi Ragle over Rice Bishop over Malson Mpole over Poynter Wagner over Rullman Hiner over Ortel Tickets Punched Harrington, Wagner, Davin, Mpole Alpha Dog Bradley Harrington 182 State Ranked Wrestlers #4 Aidan Warren- Perry Meridian #6 Johnny Parker- Cathedral #12 Hayden Filipovich- Indianapolis Lutheran #13 Garret Sharp- Carmel #16 Kole Viel- East Central #18 Dawson McCloud- North Montgomery #20 Gavin Keesee- Franklin Central Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #7 Riley Woodall- Southmont Potential Match-ups #18 McCloud vs Myers. McCloud has had a great season is looking to continue it against the Iron Bear’s son. Ticket round matchup vs Filipovich who is also trying to get Lutheran to Bankers Life. #4 Warren vs #7SS Woodall. Warren has two trips to state in two attempts. Woodall is trying to match his brothers Middle School State Title last weekend. #16 Viel vs #20 Keesee first round Followed by a matchup with #13 Sharp in the ticket round. This quarter bracket is brutal with 3 ranked wrestlers. 1st Round Picks Mccloud over Myers Filipovich over Lawler Parker over Broom Sullivan over Orcutt Warren over Mcgill Woodall over Gillespie Viel over Keesee Sharp over hanson Tickets Punched Warren, Parker, Filipovich, Sharp Alpha Dog Aidan Warren 195 State Ranked Wrestlers #1 Silas Allred- Shenandoah #3 JD Farrell-cFishers #4 Kyle Krummen- East Central #9 Zach White- Carmel #12 Excell Brooks- Lawrence North Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #5 Jacob Huffman- Cathedral #6 Jeff McClure- Perry Meridian #7 Isiah Martin- Brebuf Jesuit #8 Richard Clevenger- New Palestine Potential Match-ups Other than Silas, this weight had 2 unranked regional champions and is wide open. #3 Farrell vs #12 Brooks ticket round. Farrell has had a great season including taking Silas down at Connersville. Brooks is incredibly athletic and is a tough matchup for anyone. #8SS Clevenger vs #4 Krummen Clevenger has had a great junior campaign including winning the brutal Perry Meridian regional. Krummen just took his first loss to Allred last weekend. White vs McCloud Rematch from earlier in the year where White took a 7-5 decision home. Followed by a matchup with Jacob Huffman from Cathedral. I predict the winner of the first round match will knock out the Pendleton regional champ. #3 Farrell vs #1 Allred Rematch from Spartan Classic in finals. 1st Round Picks Farrell over Beard Brooks over Orcutt Clevenger over Arvin Krummen over Martin Huffman over Shaffer White tossup McCloud Allred over Lovell McClure over Dreher Tickets Punched Allred, Farrell, Krummen, (White or McCloud) Alpha Dog Silas Allred 220 State Ranked Wrestlers #2 Drew Webster- North Montgomery #10 Deshawn Young- Franklin Central #12 David Guhl- Cathedral #16 Alex Hernandez- Warren Central Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #6 Parker Smitley- Mount Vernon #7 Cameron Brown- New Castle #8 Justin Stephens- Pendleton Heights Potential Match-ups A lot of great matchups first and second round. Most of the top dogs are separated until semi finals though. Taylor and Van Beynen should be good. Young and Smitley. #2 Webster vs #12 Guhl ticket round. Webster has been on fire this year. Guhl got a very unfortunate draw for having such a great season. #16 Hernandez vs #7SS Brown. These two have wrestled 4 times this season. Brown won the first one with Hernandez winning the next 3. Should be a great first round matchup with winner getting Blaine Pierce from Richmond to go to the Bank. 1st Round Picks Stephens over Lewis Van Beynen over Taylor Young over Smitley Shafer over Arvin Webster over Rowlett Guhl over Goodall Pierce over Schilling Hernandez over Brown Tickets Punched Webster, Young, Hernandez, Van Beynen Alpha Dog Drew Webster 285 State Ranked Wrestlers #2 Andrew Irick- Hamilton Southeastern #5 Holder Parsons- Cathedral #6 Cade Campbell- Pendleton Heights #9 Antone Alexander- Franklin Central #12 Dennis Hubbard- Warren Central Semi-State Ranked Wrestlers #6 Kolt Keller CC #7 Josh Berger NE Potential Match-ups #6SS Keller vs #7SS Berger- First Round Followed up with a match-up with #9 Antone Alexander. #2 Irick vs #6 Campbell- Ticket Round These two have wrestled a few times this year with Irick coming out ahead both times. Brutal draw for Campbell in his senior campaign. #2 Irick vs #5 Parsons- Finals 1st Round picks Keller over Berger Alexander over Anderson Irick over Pandoli Campbell over Keevers Hubbard over Snyder McDaniel over Myers Parsons over Jackson Goodall over Platonov Tickets Punched Irick, Parsons, Hubbard, Alexander Alpha Dogs Andrew Irick and Holden Parsons View full article Indysportsfan, gsmith58, base and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
