    I know it wasn't reported through the proper channels, but just an FYI, Dickens dec. Deters 9-3 last weekend.

    Nice level of respect for Indiana in their predictions.... Mater Dei 106 - Freeman 3rd 113 - Ross 1st 120 - Boarman 1st 145 - Lee 1st 182 - Jacob Pierson 4th (I believe Dakx Lannert is the guy here for MD) Brownsburg 113 - Nelson 3rd 126 - Lawhead 4th 132 - Campbell 1st 138 - Drew Kreitzer omitted from their preview. Think that was an oversight. Based on the rest of their preview, definitely think he would have been in their top 4. 215 - Aiken 2nd 285 - Keys 3rd 152 looks absolutely loaded. If nationally ranked James Whitaker enters at 152. He's their favorite even though he lost to Caleb Fish (their 4th place prediction) last week. Whitaker beat Fish for the 140 State Title last year. The weight could also include: Nationally ranked Chris Donathan (OH), MI 3A State Champ Stoney Buell, 3x State Placer Brian Case, 2x State Placer Quenten Hall, and SQs Jeffrey Konz and Victor Grabowski. MD's Eli Dickens was almost an afterthought in their preview. Will be interesting to see if he can crack through the top talent in this class.

    Just looked at the event on Track Wrestling and it shows the cost is $14.95 for archived video only. Clicking on Live Video takes you to a screen with Mat 1 and a dropdown for the other mats. Could live video be free? Guess we'll figure it out tomorrow morning at 9:00 CT.

    Joe, not as familiar with You Tube channel streams. Will the video remain after the match able to be watched later?

    General thoughts.... 106 - Looks very tight at the top. Can anyone break into the top 3? Look forward to see how the top 3 shake out. 113 - Another tight group. Ross beat Dalton in the ticket round by fall last year, but IIFC, it was close at that point. Ross dropped a dec in SV to Montgomery, who beat Alstott 1-0 in the semifinal. Add in Freshmen Hayhurst and Nelson and Ticket rounder Cameron Allen and I can see a ton of tight matches and no clear 1-4. 120 - Strong group as well. Gardner and Scott are a strong 5-6. A Boarman - Littell final could repeat itself under the lights at Banker's Life. 126 & 132 - Barring upset, for the top spot, 2nd - 4th place is where the action will be. 138 - Another clear favorite. Look to see Blaine Mayer find a spot in the rankings and compete for a spot on the podium and a shot at State. 145 - Ditto the clear favorite. 126-145 should be drama-free for the top spot. 152 - Top 4 all could place at State depending on the draw, Can anyone else break into the top 4? 160 - Feels like the weakest weight overall (maybe 145). 170 & 182 - There has been some weight shifting here. Is it done? Is everyone where they will be in the end. Lots of strength in these two classes and a lot of good possible match ups! 195 - 285 - I'm not as familiar with the players here so someone else will have to add their $.02.

    Agree Tyler Conley belongs. I saw that omission right away. Not sure where he fits. Would have been nice to see Nathan Conley vs. Dickens last weekend though....
  7. SWINfan
    Would be much easier if Mater Dei and Castle reported individual results!
  8. SWINfan
    To add...... Red has missed a few matches/events early this year. Not sure how that contributes or was affected by what you mentioned above, but that's the reason for my comment on whether or not the match will happen. I don't think Chad is scared of Nick. Not my point. But if there has been illness, weight issues or something holding him back, who knows what will happen after the new year. I'd love to see it, and as you stated, a match up with Lee could certainly be the cure for any "blahs" Chad may be experiencing. ha ha I would fully expect Chad to show up and be at his best.

    Drew Hughes is the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week after his 11-0 win over IU's Jake Hinz.

    Pants are highly recommended.

    A quick reminder that Penn State and Arizona meet up in a dual Friday December 14 on ESPN2 at 5:00 Central time. It's a chance to watch Nick Lee and see a marquee matchup at 174 between Mark Hall and Zahid Valencia. Set your DVR if you can't catch it live!
  18. SWINfan
    Agreed!

    A couple of interesting weights, followed by a general preview from michigangrappler.com, which promises in-depth previews later this week..... Note: I don't have full access to MI individual rankings, so there may be some wrestlers I missed. 106 Alec Freeman (MD - 9th) Logan Miller (BRB - 13th) Adam Sprague (Clarkston MI - D1 #1) Casey Swiderski (Dundee MI - D3 #1 and #14/#17 Nationally) Jacob Byra (St. John's MI - D2 #2) Jay Shaull (Eaton Rapids MI - D2 #10) Note: Byra won by fall over Shaull in a dual last week. 145 Matt Lee (MD - 1st) Drew Kreitzer? (BRB - 4th @ 138) or Griffin Ison James Whitaker (St. John's MI - D2 #1 and #7/#6 Nationally) Returning State Champ at 140. Whitaker dec Matt Lee 8-4 for the Grappler Fall Classic Title in October. Chris Donathan (Mason, OH - D1 #3 and # 14/#20 Nationally) Christian Killian (Dundee MI - D3 #2) Conor Donahue (Clarkston MI - D1 #6) Aiden Brown (Brighton MI - D1 #9) 152 Eli Dickens (MD - #7) Jacob Cookerly (BRB) Caleb Fish (Eaton Rapids MI - D2 #1) - State Runner up to James Whitaker at 140. Beat Whitaker in a dual last week. Whitaker wrestled up from 145. Match went to OT and Fish won by fall in TB1. Fish dec Jake Schoenegge 6-4 TB1 at the Grand River Rumble in July. Jake Billette (Clarkston MI - D1 #2) Brian Case (Davison MI - D1 #4) Grant Ott (Dundee MI - D3 #5) I'll add more as I gather more info and will post a link to the in-depth preview from michigangrappler.com later this week.

    Will someone provide a phonetic example of the correct pronunciation of his last name. I got the first name okay. Thanks
  22. SWINfan
    I did find two quick examples from last year's tournament from teams in the Grappler Gold. @112 Davison had both the Champion and 7th Place finisher. They are wrestling 125 and 130 this year. @125 Brighton had the 4th and 5th Place finishers, which included a match between the two in the consolation semifinals. They are both back at 135 and 140 this year.

    Nor did I. And at first thought, I hated it. But the more I think about it, it's allowed in college tournaments (not NCAAs) such as the Southern Scuffle. Obviously open tournaments allow unattached wrestlers, but even non-open tourneys like the Keystone Classic allow a certain # of entrants, though the # of wrestlers that count toward the team score is less. Penn St. had more than one wrestler in several weight classes at the Keystone, including 149 and 285 where they used the tournament as a psuedo wrestle-off. Brady Berge beat Jared Verkleeren 3-2 at 149 and Anthony Cassar dec 2x All-American Nick Nevills 7-3. Still not sure if I love it in the state series, but if 2 guys from the same class can make it all the way through sectional, regional, Semi-State why shouldn't they be able to wrestle for the title?
  24. SWINfan
    We'll see if it actually happens....

    Thought maybe some just thought they weren't that good this year
