220: Tristan Ruhlamn can beat Bates. It'll be a tight match.

I’m aware and I’m not sure he gets Boarman a second time.

Angel has IU on the up and up! If Mendez goes then that could change the future of IU.

Cottey going 113 now and you have no one close to Zeke........ but three guys at 138 next to Mendez. IMO Mendez is the most dominant wrestler in any weight class and not a knock to Zeke. Also I think Pack will definitely be challenged. Interesting to see where and who will all settle at come sectionals

Every year all we say to each wrestler "......is just advance each week during the state series". This year that is even going to be even more important. With contact tracing and COVID challenges, this could be the year that possibly there is going to be a lot of "dark horses" winning state or placing high. I believe we will be talking about a lot of these dark horses come State time.

I haven't been able to watch as much as I would have liked this year but I am going to be a homer and go with Naselroad from Alex to be on the podium this year at 145. I also think Gerencser from Daleville will be making an appearance at Bankers this year at 138. I love rooting for the small school kids. I also see Hardcastle from Oak Hill making a run as well as Dedman. 113 Romello Williams from Anderson has a great shot in this his Senior season. I really like Anthony (26) from Frankfort too. He is a great kid. Hopefully I am able to watch it this year.

With Rivera bumping up to 141 this year, Eierman back, and Diakomihalis out, you could make a case that 149 is easier than 141. I think most rankings have Sammy Sasso #1 at 149.

At 126, I like Elijah Anthony to break through and get on the podium.

That 170 mooresville regional that year got all 4 to state.. Unreal

Regardless Boarman and Ruhlman are both studs and will be in the mix to place really high and I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out.. Best of luck to you guys, let's just all stay healthy and get through this crazy season.

At 106, Donnie Feeler is underrated. I am sure he's on the short list, but with all due respect to Mike, there is absolutely, no way that he is not a top twenty kid.

Purdue?

Jesse wont go to IU

Yea I don’t think he techs Boarman, and yes Koontz is the man, I’m just saying he won’t be favored at ‘38. Hope we land them both at IU!

120 - Ross (MD) 132- Dalton (Monrovia) 138 - Roberts (Avon) 145 - Mckivitz (PM) 152 - Conley (Avon) 160 - Fuqa (Franklin) These would be my dark horse picks this year considering multiple previous wins over top 5 opponents within the last 3 years. These are guys that are always in the mix producing solid victories and results.

Eli Stock is all I have to say....

Coy Hammack at 113 looks pretty impressive today . The kid likes to scrap , and never shys away from competition. At Castle Today . John Purdy is cleaning house today as well .

GUYS , Guys , FANS!! Listen Go Back to the PM Duels blog and RE-Read what I , BT19 wrote for you then!! Navy80 you tell me if I am Right!! He was held back in his EYEs his Freshman year , He is Great friends w/ Mendez But Matthew wants to Show everyone he is at an All America Status!! Championship for Him , the School, his Team and He tops his Big Brother!! BT19

Here is a small piece from an article on Rokfin posted today.... Doesn't mention Lee redshirting, but there was also news about Red. Didn't know Red had lost a wrestleoff. Nothing final, just possibilities.... 141/149 Penn State - Jared Verkleeren vs. Beau Bartlett vs. Nick Lee Another situation for PSU where the free year makes an easy decision a more complicated (and perhaps advantageous) one. Bartlett, a true freshman, is going to try to make the lineup. The most likely way this happens is if Nick Lee moves up. I can't confirm that that is the case, but Beau is definitely gonna give it a run. Nebraska - Chad Red vs. Ridge Lovett Red is a two-time All American with two years left. Lovett, who is moving up after a solid true freshman campaign in which he was 17-8 and a qualifier at 133. Lovett had a killer cut to 133 last year and recently beat Red, 8-6, in a wrestle off. The final decision hasn't been determined yet; there is another set of wrestle offs this week. But these two might be the best options for 41/49 so perhaps the guy who doesn't get the start moves up.

These will be my dark horse picks to place very high in the state tournament and shock some heads (No order) 106- Nathan smith , Tanner Tishner , Zachary Dray 113- Keaton morton , Aden reyes 120- Cottey and Lemley is going to be one fun finals match to watch if they can both pull through 126- Nobody will come close to Zeke 132- Ian Heath, Christian White, Dylan Stroud 138- Gavin Alstott , Jace alexander, Jared Brown 145- Jeivan Ross , Ashton Hayhurst 152- Alex Currie , Aiden Hardcastle , Tyler Conley 160- Andrew wilson ,Tyler Fuqua 170- Bryer Hall is the man at this weight . I think the guy with the best shot against him is Brodie porter 182- Johnny parker , Clayton Lundy 195- Nobody will Beat Eli pack 220- Nobody will beat Evan bates 285- Braydon Erb , Leighton Jones
