Definately not passing Northcutt up at all, he is a talented kid, he has a tough seat with Palmieri in the first round. Wishing him the best

I have looked into my crystal ball and I have the results.  Just to be sure however, I wouldn't go to Vegas just yet on these picks.

 

103- Overby (H) easily over Herrera (SN)

112- Denton (TL) over Hanthorne (Seg) Possibly OT.  By far my most anticipated match of the tournament.  Before it's over, Denton will be the best wrestler TL has ever had.  He is absolutely fearless and fast as lightning. 

119- Draper (LJ) over Preston (L) Another close one in my opinion.

125-Hicks (Seg) over Rehn (WC) Not so close on this one.

130-Bailey (LJ) over Ringen (Ren) Strength of schedule tips in Jeff's favor in this one.

135- Griffen (Mc) over Alderman (Del) in a close one.  I do think Martin from Ren. will give Alderman all he wants.  Holloway did not look good at sect.

140- Brown (LJ) over Wagnor (Pi) Not too close.  I do think Wagnor will have trouble with Martinez of (BC)

145- Dorris (Pio) over Martinez (LJ) in a tight one.  I suspect these two have already met at LJ Hol. Duals Gotta give it to Dorris based on big stage experience

152- Palmieri (WL) over Espinosa (Log) I think Espinosa wins the rematch with Whaley of (WC) in Semis.  Not a real strong weight class in my opinion.

160- Dale (Mc) over Warren (LJ) in a close rematch.  Dale will have a huge hurdle in beating the Green kid from Ren.

171- Lynde (Del) over Winkle (TL) in another lopsided match.  I really like the TL kid but it might be wishful thinking picking him over Gutierrez of Mc

* For the record, I believe Delphi gets another State runner-up this year.  Stein of Princeton too tough.  Tanner will get his next year.

189- Campbell (Har) over Masters of (WC) Would love to see young Winkle of TL make up his mind to wrestle hard and surprise the guys in that top part of the bracket. 

215- Sumner (Mc) over Beruman of (Del) Not close.

275- Ford (Mc) over Dix (Win)  That is if Dix really shows up.  He is a great big guy when he sets his mind to the job.  If not Anderson from Delphi will thump him in the semis.

 

Just one man's opinion.

152- Palmieri (WL) over Espinosa (Log) I think Espinosa wins the rematch with Whaley of (WC) in Semis.  Not a real strong weight class in my opinion.

Good picks , except Espinosa and Whaley have never met, Whaley is from South Newton not WC - Palmeiri and Whaley have wrestled 160 most of the season, So I am hoping to see them in the championship round
