After seeing the 2016-2017 individual rankings, which weight class is the pre-season favorite to draw the most attention in February?

None at 106? The class that is "wide open"

2, maybe 3, could surprise in Indy

All for portillos at EC. I'll help fund that movement!

VERY COOL. Thank you

I like the single elimination style, but wouldn't strongly oppose the other. It's a good conversation. Something I have always wondered though (even more so than double elimination) is why there is no true second at semi-states. So, I like the idea being entertained.

Any thoughts??

285: *Streck, Murillo, Cutter, McWilliams

106: Cavanaugh, McCartney, Moran, Peele

*state champions (7)

There are a couple without asterisks that may surprise.

media decides just like in all other sports. make the finals a separate session and whichever "storyline" fox sports Indiana chooses gets to be last. that's how tv works. that's why and how the ncaa does it.

Any way to watch the next few Saturday's live?

This is a great idea! Especially since the finals are on TV now too. Let's get this changed! Make the championship match a separate session or even day so that the rest of the tourney doesn't need shuffled.

Public wrestle offs. (Many coaches do this)

Minimum IHSAA regular season matches.

There it's fixed.

No excuses once you step on the mat. Good luck to both guys. This will be a fun postseason!

Any big match ups today? Anyone look better than expected? Any teams look studly?

I haven't been around this summer to pay too much attention to Indiana high school wrestling. Who has made some noise this offseason and will be a wrestler to beat this coming season?

Cash won. Definitely the better wrestler tonight. Great job. Interesting that Cash "caught" Lee, but Lee didn't "catch" James. Truth is.. All three are phenomenal wrestlers and deserved a state title today. Congrats to Cash, Lee, and James for tremendous seasons/careers!
