160 - top 3 here are decker, steele and dole. decker/dole would meet in the semis based on my predictions and thats a tough matchup. dole recently earned being state ranked and everyone knows how good decker is. steele gets the benefit of waiting on the winner of these 2 guys which could give him the edge in the finals...but, he has been inconsistent this year, had weight management problems and doesnt seemed as focused as last year. He did beat decker last year in OT but its hard to beat decker twice. IF decker gets past dole, i say decker will be more focused on avenging last years loss, if dole wins, im not sure he will have enough left to beat steele. one thing for sure, the loser of the decker/dole match is a 3 seed at semi I would not want.
170 - gonzo is so tough. he has all the qualities of a great wrestler. strength, speed, technical skill, heart, determination, confidence and focus. He has beaten aquino every time they wrestled but its getting harder to do as was the case at spartan. aquino gets better every time I was him wrestle. the only thing that can prevent this finals matchup is spencer sargent. I dont think he and aquino have ever wrestled but would be a great semi finals match.
Gonzo is just too powerful, Anquino did get a little closer but still lost by fall. Sargent I believe lost this year before Thanksgiving to Steele bumping up to 170 11-3
Decker beat Day at 160lbs the same dual 1-0 just not much offense from Decker. As for Steele, I don't believe 160lbs is going to be a struggle for him to make, so his energy should be good. Steele gets the better of Day in the practice room from what I hear so I would say Steele would have the upper hand there. Dole vs Steele and Nobbe in Sectional will be a battle
