SWINfan Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 In general I'd say the Castle Regional did not get favorable draws. I'd put the over under of Mater Dei wrestlers to State at 4.5 (of 13 qualified for SS). Lots of quality wrestlers, though not necessarily favorites to place at State, will run into a wall and not get the opportunity. Happens that way sometimes, especially in a bear of a Semi-State such as Evansville. Cricket21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Top 8 kids IMO Hagedorn vs Ash at 113 Gilbert vs Bickel (first round) 120 Stephens vs Krueger 126 Hammock vs Ison 132 is Brutal!! Two Top 8 kids IMO Reynolds vs Glenn 138 Turner vs Day 145 Roudebush vs Stits 152 Prechtel vs Hutchison 160 Tinoco vs Terry 170 Alexander and Fox 182 Somehow Henry Avoids the Death Draw at 195 Rose vs Martin 220 McMahon vs Schott 285 Really surprised with the Lack of Death draws this year also seems Evansville has 6-7 top 8 kids going at it in the Ticket round. I was anxious to see the 195 draw with the potential #1 v #2 ticket round matchup. 195 will be very interesting with potential semi final matchups of #2 Henry v #3 Shroeder and #1 Purdy v #7 McConnell (who just beat Henry) MUSKEEWRESTLER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAJR Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The missing part is some form of wrestlebacks. Tournament starts out seeded and then is performance based, nothing wrong with that IMO. tangarrray, OICU182, Penn04 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tournament starts out seeded and then is performance based, nothing wrong with that IMO. It’s been made clear by the IHSAA that the purpose of the tournament is to crown a champion. This system does that. TBH, I’m surprised they even bother with 3rd-8th place matches at state. RAJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
