This is going to be one of the best state tournaments in years I think unlike past years I feel like the champ was pretty well known before the tournament. But this year other then 145 and 152 in my opinion anyone can win! I mean just look at some semi state results Gee came out of no where and beat 3 Studs! 106: Campbell vs Curtis i havent got to see Curtis wrestle this year but I can see from results and his performance this year there is a reason he is ranked 1st! But you can never count out brownsburgs Campbell kid gives everything he has every match wither it be a good kid or a average kid he wrestles hard every match. I just don't see Campbell taking out Black, Johnson and Curtis in the same day. Curtis takes it 6-4. Friday night match to watch: Brayden Lowery vs JC Herring two amazing kids competing for a medal. 113: Man Garcia and Viduya on the same side imo that's the finals match. The top bracket is wide open Horty wrestled lights out until he hit Garcia but I just don't think he beats Watts I was fortune enough to get to watch him at team state and man he is tough. Dispite turners loses this year he showed up last year but I think watts gets the best of him. Watts vs Garcia in the finals, Garcia wins 12-2. Friday night match to watch: Alec Viduya vs Kane Egli, Egli may have 9 loses but he goes to mater dei and his last name is Egli. 120: Mosconi, Mills and Triana on the same side omg! All have wrestled amazing this year and triana has a win over Rooks. I knew mosconi was good but I didn't realize how good until I seen him this past weekend! I think he beats Triana in the quarters but mills wins that side to see Rooks again. I think Rooks wins again in another close one 5-4. Friday night match to watch: Poynter vs Wright stands out to me two great kids competing for a 6th place medal. 126: there is just to much to say on this one I could write a book. I'll make it short. Rooks vs Cummings and Mulkey vs DeLaPena is how I have it. I think Rooks vs Mulkey again in the finals and I'm going with Rooks again I said it at the beginning of the year both Rooks bothers win titles this year! Friday night match to watch: Alec white vs Colton Cummings man oh man everyone will be watching this one. 132: first off reitz and bailey should be the finals imo. Man I thought luigs was a legit contender after watching him at mater dei but after this weekend not anymore (though you can't count mater dei out) I think the top bracket is opens no clear favorites Combest has been wrestling out of his mind since team state. I may be biest because Combest threw his headgear on me after he won regionals. I think it's Combest vs bailey in the finals but bailey finals gets his title and wins 9-3. Friday night match to watch: Kyle Luigs vs Conner Gimson tough draw a top 6 kid in my opinion goes home without a medal. 138: This one is gonna be a dog fight. 4 possible champions. Based on rumphs health being unclear I think Sellmer get him. In the bottom bracket I think black in the favorite forsure but DONT look past Schoenegge! He is only a sophomore but he can wrestle and he is hard to score on. I think it's Sellmer vs Black in the finals. This one is going to be high scoring I think Black takes its 11-10. Friday night match to watch: Ryan Surguy vs Jake Schoenegge another terrible draw. 145: Lee and McIntosh in the quarters OUCH! Bottom bracket it wide open anyone can get to the finals! But I think crary gets out ill take Lee over Crary 16-5. Friday night match to watch: I think there are two here Kasper McIntosh vs Joel Arney two extremely talented juniors I think Arneys 3rd best at this weight. Also Kain Rust vs Logan Coyle two top 8 kids going at it for a medal. 152: I can honestly say this weight has me stumped. I can't decide Warren or bethel for a shot at Kerrn! For a shot at Lee! I'm not counting Hatch out in the semis but come on it's Joe Lee! This bottom bracket has my head spinning but warren has just really impressed me he never stops moving always looks to score. But bethel is Austin bethel and he can beat anyone at anytime. I'm going with warren over bethel and warren also over Kerrn. Lee vs Warren in the finals and Lee wins 16-7. Friday night match to watch: Jacob Clark vs Kassius Breathitt two top 8 kids! 160: I think Laughlin is the clear favorite but he has shown that he can be beat. Alston bane has showed that he is a legitimate title contender and I think the wrestling gods for not having these two on the same side! I don't think you can count out Mappes against Laughlin though his last name is mappes after all and he has impressed me every year and put on a nice performance last year at state. At the end of the day I think it's Laughlin vs Bane. Laughlin wins 7-4. Friday night match to watch: Jed Levitz vs Ethan Stock the stocks have flown under the radar all year but they definitely showed up this state series and have looked phenomenal. 170: This is anyone's game. I honestly don't think there's anyone you can count out in this weight. Iv had to really think about this one. Van horn vs Webster in the quarters! I thought Van horn was gonna be the clear favorite at sectionals but oh no Eli stock has made everyone's head turn! This top bracket is just brutal!! I really don't know who to pick! Fattore has a win over Baumgartner but I think it's baumgartner vs Webster in the semis and swank vs stock in the semis on the bottom side. At the end of the day it's Stock vs Webster. It will be a close 1 point match, 7-6 stock. Friday night match to watch: Jordan Radar vs Jake Ruburg 182: Earlier in the year I heard a lot of people saying Walton is a lock I think not though he hasn't been beating in indiana this year neither has Junior Lucas Davidson. This one should be the finals I think. Gary vs Dull and Walton vs Davidson in the semis. Finals I have Walton vs Gray it was a one point match last time I think it will be again. Walton over Gray 5-4 Friday night match to watch: Jake Moore vs Jeremy Torres this ones just a little personal because I'm a fan of Moore. Both have 5 loses between them and have put on nice performances this state series. 195: Tonte and Davidson on opposite sides THANK YOU WRESTLING GODS! This is the match I have been waiting on and arguing with my mother about all year. My mother has been a huge tonte fan ever since he beat my brother at folkstyle state 3 years ago. And I have had to hear for the past 3 years that oh he's gonna win this year and so far I'm 2-0 on my picks. But is this his year? I watched him throw micheal boots 3 times in about a minute at team state and man did that make me think this is his year. But there are so many title contenders here. Shaffer put on a show at SS this past weekend. Can he beat Tonte? I think it's Davidson vs Tonte in the finals, and I'm taking Davidson in a tight one 9-7. Man I hope this match happens! Friday night match to watch: Kurtis wilderman vs Ben Stewart! OUCH! My number 4 and 5 going at it. Two seniors one ends there career without a medal the other gets a shot at Davidson To wrestle under the lights. 220: Man what a shame Larson and Parris on the same side. This one should be in the finals forsure! How about Corbin Maddox last weekend 82 points in 4 matches thats absolutely crazy for any weight let alone 220 pounders! He's my pick to get a shot at Parris in the finals but at the end of the day it's the Mason Parris show and he will pin the field. Friday night match to watch: Two big ones stick out to me Garrison Lee vs Jacob McClaine both of these guys fell short in the ticket round last year can Lee end his caareer with a medal or will McClaine end that dream? Clayton Scroggs vs Mason Parris WOW. Clayton has had a amazing career, but his performance this past state series has looked a little shaky. Yes he has had quality opponents but at the start of sectionals he was in my opinion the 3rd best in the state. Can he pull of the upset of the century? 285: This one is a toss up i count 4 title contenders with 3 on the same side. Last year samuels was in the finals and did the only thing no one else could do take Shawn streck down. But giving up 70 pounds to almost every guy in this bracket can he make it back under the lights? Ripple put on quite a show this weekend but I don't think he gets past samuels. Evan Ellis and Robert samuels in the semis on the top side. I think McWilliams walks threw the bottom side but we wrestle for a reason. If Lawson gets past a tough Clark can he beat McWilliams for a shot under the lights? Finals I have Evan Ellis vs Isaiah McWillians I think Ellis ends his career with a 3-2 victory and a state title. Friday night match to watch: two huge matches,Rickie Clark vs Jesse Lawson can slick rick get a medal? Also Dylan Cain vs Jacob Rhoades, Cain did what I thought he couldn't do and that was not only beat Bryce biddle but pinned him. I think Parris will be the MVP of the tournament. Can't wait for this Friday!!

Personally I think people are over looking Schoenegge he has had a stellar year in my opinion I think a lot of people over looked him at the start of the season. I am not saying he is going to beat black in what I think will be the semi finals but I'm saying do not over look him.

the question is where does he fit in? Because he only weighs about 132 because that's what he wrestled at conference this year if I'm not mistaken?

if one of you can message me please I'd appreciate it.

I have been a very long time supporter of bethel. But honestly 20 minute matchs because of his gas tank. This isn't the first time iv seen this when he is in a tough one. After 1:30 of injury time the match should have been called instead the ref gave him "his time" and then blood time. Cooper got robbed in my opinion.

based on his performance this weekend I dought anyone would pick Luigs. I'll take gimson

If bethel never took injury time cooper would have more then likely won that match. And anyone watching knows it too.

yeah if they don't get beat

How about reitz and bailey on the same side! Lee and McIntosh in the quarter!

is that confirmed

Personally I'm thinking sooner vs Walton in the finals but sooner has to get threw a tough Hendrich first Hendrich imo is the 4th best at this weight class in the semi state its gonna be a good match.

Dalton Craig is the real deal at 126 he keeps closing the gap on Rooks iv seen both lee and Craig wrestle (not each other) all year I take Craig in this can't look past this kid.

plus his takedown

personally this is the first time iv seen this official or at least I don't really remember him if iv seen him before but he was very consistent but that call was ridiculous no match should end like that I re watched the match Mosley took 12 shot attempts to fullers 6 and was hit twice for stalling both of them are great wrestlers and I'm not taking anything away from fuller but even he was like wtf on that stall call.

took the words right out of my mouth!

yea they have been really close, I think 145 is a toss up. But I gotta go with the returning qualifier Pollitt is extremely tough went up to team state and he had close matches with some top kids and really impressed me definitely not a kid you wanna draw in the ticket round. But as for sellmer and Schoenegge, sellmer had a hick up at mater dei. Sellmer could be under the lights this year. I don't think Sellmer gets touched tell state. We will probably get to watch these two wrestle in the finals the next two weeks.

Has to be more thats crazy I just cant see a kid getting DQed for something like that iv seen worse with not even a team point.

East takes the team race with Floyd a close 2nd. 106 Hunter, Spears, Boyd, Smith 113 Antunez, Beasley, Meyer, Aldridge 120 Rooks, Cunningham, Ruddick, Wells 126 Rooks, Craig, Gohl, Kervin 132 Combest, Dowell, Franklin, Morrison 138 Sellmer, Schoenegge, Johnson, Peneger 145 Wathen, Pollitt, Bullock, Ferraro 152 Foster, Cooper, Davidson, Newton 160 Stikes, Beineke, Freeman, Hunter 170 Mosley, Fuller, Chapman, Spiller 182 Sonner, Hauser, Kleinhenz, Smith 195 Philpot, Larson, Smith, Corrales 220 Sheckles, McClanahan, Miller, Pinaire 285 Cain, Sutton, Sorg, Long Very excited for the semi finals match between fuller and chapman have heard very good things about chapman but haven't got the chances to see him!

.

Was talking to some people today about alternates and the questions dawned on me has there ever been a Alternate make it to the state finals match (Under the lights)?

Jennings county 126 Rooks over Craig 285 Dylan Cain over Brendan Sutton

Same

no he will not be wrestling tomorrow and neither will Day. Yes they can be changed all the way up to weigh ins

Should be a funny tourney I know a lot of teams have been sick 106 Hunter over Spears 113 Antunez over Meyers 120 Rooks over Ruddick 126 Rooks over Gohl 132 Combest over shuffitt 138 Selmer over schoenegee 145 Wathen over Pollitt 152 Foster over Davidson 160 Wilson over Beineke 170 Mosley over fuller 182 Sooner over haulser 195 Philpot over smith 220 Sheckles over McClanahan 285 Sutton over Sorg Honestly think the team race with been close between East and Floyd but I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff Or NA kept it close for 2nd. Little Rooks is at 120 and Dowell will not be wrestling tomorrow

I believe nick lee would AA this year even with the loaded 133 weight class
