Jendreas over Bailey 8-4

Nice shout out for some tough wrestlers, but it's the 3rd and 4th female state qualifiers. The first two are Olympic wrestlers Miracle and Hildebrandt (Olympic medalist). If either wins on Friday night, they will be the first placer in Indiana. Of all people, I know you know all that, no disrespect intended 

Hildebrandt never qualified

Camera angles at EC is horrible, can’t see half the mat on one stream and another 2/3 on another

Boy has Merriville/East Chicago fallen off. 10 years ago East Chicago was the best, looks as if da region isnt what it used to be.

#Sad

#BringBackTheTights

We have kids up here that wrestle in Illinois.  East Chicago might not have the depth right now but The team title is coming North and it might be up here for a few years.

This post-season has been very eventful so far, with 2 #1 upsets from sectionals and regionals, and plenty of others. These upsets have provided for many dangerous ticket round matchups that are almost impossible to predict. Fortunately, my accuracy when it comes to predictions is around 100% (don't fact check that) so if you want to know who's gonna win before it even happens, look no further than this thread here.

 

Obviously, for these predictions, I'm gonna pick the top 4 from each weight class, and then I'll talk a little bit about why I think the weight class will play out that way.

 

106: 1.) Bailey   2.) Aubin   3.) Jendreas   4.) Tolbert

 

This weight class is exciting, and has a couple of interesting stories that influenced my decisions here. First of all, I think that the clear #1 and #2 here are Bailey and Jendreas, and unfortunately, they will have to meet in the semis. There is a good argument to be made that Jendreas will beat Bailey come this Saturday, but I think that Bailey will edge him out in an exciting battle between the two. The other story here is Seth Aubin, who made a statement at sectionals by taking out #7 E'Shawn Tolbert. I knew this was a big upset, but knew that it could always be a fluke. But Aubin went on to make another statement at regionals, when he took Jeffrey Bailey to deep waters and lost only 9-6. Aubin is not messing around this post season, and I expect him to win the rematch against Tolbert in the other semis match at this weight.

 

113: 1.) Jackson   2.) Nowaczyk   3.) Cortez   4.) Bennett

 

Our first major death draw in this semi-state comes in the second quarter bracket, when #10 Trevor Schammert and #15 Kaptur Nowaczyk meet in the ticket round. Nowaczyk is coming off of an impressive sectional, where he beat #12 Johnny Cortez, and a respectable regional where he kept it 4-0 with the dominant and undefeated Ashton Jackson. I could honestly see this ticket round match going either way, as Schammert is a comparable opponent to Cortez, but I think that if Nowaczyk keeps it up, he will edge out the senior in an exhilarating bout. I think Nowaczyk will extend his winning streak all the way to the finals, where he will fall to Jackson again. I think Dylan Bennett will then claim the final ticket here, edging out #20 Owen Bunton in the ticket round.

 

120: 1.) DeMarco   2.) Bohn   3.) Siburcrist   4.) Lewis

 

Another death draw appears at the top of the bracket in this weight class, when undefeated #9 Christopher Bohn takes on returning state qualifier #17 Evan Cruz. While Bohn is the clear favorite here, I don't think that this match will be very one-sided, as Cruz has shown that he can take it to the best of the best, having several decision losses this season to some of the best in, and out of the state. I think Bohn edges him out and continues his undefeated streak all the way to the finals, where DeMarco hands him his first loss. I think #20 Liam Siburcrist edges the UR but tough Guillermo Rivera in round one to eventually punch his ticket, and will wrestle UR Jayden Lewis of New Prairie for the 3rd and 4th place match, in which I expect him to win.

 

126: 1.) Frazier   2.) Vargo   3.) Brabender   4.) Maldonado

 

Frazier is the clear #1 here, claiming a 7-2 decision earlier this year to #2 Matteo Vargo, who is the clear #2 in this semi-state. In the second quarter bracket, we are met with yet another death draw, as two returning state qualifiers in #17 Beau Brabender and #19 Drake Fritz battle it out to see who will go to Gainbridge again (man, it just doesn't have the same ring to it), and who will sit this year out. I think Brabender edges Fritz out to punch his ticket, where I see him taking 3rd over #25 Maldonado, who is the only ranked wrestler in his quarter bracket, and should qualify without too much trouble.

 

132: 1.) Bahl   2.) Walker   3.) Solomey   4.) Padilla

 

This weight class is a lot less crazy, with only one unfortunate draw, where #15 Drake Montelongo will have to wrestle #4 Anthony Bahl to qualify. I expect Bahl to win this whole weight class, so Montelongo will have to bring his A-game in order to challenge Bahl for a ticket. I see #12 Zar Walker and #13 Caleb Solomey squaring off in the semis, where I think Walker will come out on top in a close bout. Solomey should take 3rd over #18 Ruben Padilla, who will punch the last ticket in this weight class.

 

138: 1.) Mendez   2.) Solomey   3.) Vitello   4.) Harper

 

Mendez has established the separation between him and the rest of the state with a pin and tech fall over #2 Cole Solomey. I don't expect any crazy headlocks to be thrown at this semi-state, so Mendez is the clear favorite, followed by the clear runner-up in Solomey. The top quarter bracket is extremely interesting in my opinion, with a top 16 matchup happening round one in #14 Stefan Vitello and #15 Hunter Miller, with UR Lucas Clement waiting for the victor in the ticket round. I expect Vitello to edge out Miller, but honestly, I think Vitello's biggest obstacle to Gainbridge is Clement, who is unranked but owns a win by fall over Vitello earlier this year, and has claimed wins over many high level wrestlers this year so far. It would not surprise me to see Clement take a win here, but I have Vitello edging Clement out. For the last spot, I think #18 Wesley Harper qualifies for state with not too much trouble, and will likely see Vitello in the third place match.

 

145: 1.) Torres   2.) Tattini   3.) Ellenberger   4.) Pellot

 

Stop, whatever you are thinking, stop. I do not care. UR Caden Ellenberger was wrestling HOT at regionals, claiming a 15-3 major decision over UR but incredibly tough Logan Sertic to make it to semi-state. I think that Ellenberger pulls the upset over #24 Zymarion Hollyfield if he wrestles like he did at regionals, and avenges a loss to UR Adrian Pellot to take third here. I think the #1 and #2 at this semi-state are well established, as #3 Aidan Torres and #6 Nick Tattini battle for the championship. Torres has had Tattini's number this season so far, with two major decisions recorded against him thus far, but Tattini has shown incredible growth and adjustment, losing a mere 4-2 bout at regionals against Torres. I still expect Torres to win, but Tattini is pulling closer.

 

152: 1.) Goin   2.) Bisping   3.) Hood   4.) Salary

 

The top quarter bracket features a state ranked matchup in #25 Keegan Mabie and #20 Kenneth Bisping. Will the Mishiwaka senior finally punch his ticket to state? Mabie. (please forgive me) I expect Bisping to edge out Mabie and ride his way to the finals, where an incredibly tough #1 Sammy Goin will be waiting for him. Another quarter bracket matchup that is especially interesting for me is #22 Aiden Costello and UR Noah Salary. Both have had comparable matches to Bisping, and is a toss up in my opinion. And, well, if I had to choose one of them, of course I'm going to have to go with my boy from La Porte. Honestly though, expect this match to be razor thin. I think Hood qualifies with no real trouble, where I think he will take 3rd. Of course, Sammy wins the whole thing, and by a lot. This kid is my pick to win it all.

 

160: 1.) Goodwin   2.) Pittman   3.) Steenbeke   4.) Powell

 

We have a crazy semis match on the bottom half of the bracket here with #3 Cody Goodwin and #7 AJ Steenbeke. I think Goodwin is a clear favorite here, as he has been extremely dominant all season, and is a potential title contender, but Steenbeke is as funky as they get, and has a real shot to pull the upset here. I don't think it happens here, but it also wouldn't out of the ordinary, in my opinion, if it does happen. #22 Bradey Pittman looks to have another potential route to his second semi-state finals appearance, but he will have to manage an UR but tough Carlos Perez-Xochipa in the ticket round, followed by #19 Caleb Carter or UR Cameron Powell in the semis. I chose Powell over Carter in the top bracket ticket round, but that matchup is really a toss up too, but Powell is a returning qualifier, so he most definitely has to tools to win here, and even potentially make the finals.

 

170: 1.) Svanter   2.) White   3.) Herrera   4.) Valdez

 

I think that both #17 Jesse Herrera and #24 Connor Cervantes were looking to make a run to the state tournament this year, especially when Cervantes upset Herrera at sectionals. However, UR Deon Hurn had something to say about that at regionals when he stuck Cervantes in the first period. And now, unfortunately, Cervantes has #14 Anthony White in a tough round one match. Cervantes clearly has the tools to make something happen here, as he has a win over someone that could potentially win the semi-state here, but I think White gets the job done, and then wins his ticket round match afterwards. Svanter looked impressive at regionals, and I think that he will win the rematches against both Herrera and White this weekend. For the last spot, I see three potential qualifiers in UR Luke Stento, #22 Isaac Valdez, and the dangerous Deon Hurn. I think Stento certainly has the tools to qualify, and I predict him to win round one over Hurn, but ultimately I think Valdez wins a tight one here to punch his ticket.

 

182: 1.) Cruz   2.) Simpson   3.) Sues   4.) McCrum

 

If Cruz didn't share a regional with two of the best P4P wrestlers in the country, I would've said that he had the most dominant performance in Crown Point this past weekend. He collected two 25-10 tech falls and a 23-8 tech fall against the #6 in the state, and I think this semi-state title is easily his, even with a powerful #4 Jake Simpson meeting him on the other side of the bracket. #13 Demetrius Dean draws Cruz in the ticket round, so unless Dean wrestles out of his mind, he may be going home without a ticket punched. #6 Jake Sues and Simpson will meet in the semis, which should be a great match: one that has happened 3 times already this season, with Simpson leading the series 2-1. I expect Simpson to win this one, as he has won the last two meetings between the two. For the last spot, we have 4 UR wrestlers looking to fight for a ticket, and I think Kooper Kinsler and Matt McCrum will meet in the ticket round, with McCrum taking that last spot in a close bout.

 

195: 1.) Barket   2.) Chavez   3.) DeMarco   4.) Clark

 

This weight class is loaded. 4 top 10 wrestlers all establish themselves as the ones that will punch their tickets, with no real spoilers from what I can see that could take one of these top 4 out of the state tournament. However, predicting the order that these guys will place is a real challenge, as we have a #3, #6, #7, and #9 all battling for the championship here. I think Barket establishes himself as the clear favorite here, and I'm not too confident that any of these other three wrestlers can spoil that for him, although I doubt these matches will be very dominant either, with the level of talent we are seeing here. #9 Christian Chavez is as tough as they get, and can beat the best wrestlers in the state if he's on it, and I predict a slight upset on the top half of the bracket, with Chavez taking out #6 Will Clark for a spot in the finals. #7 Gage DeMarco and Clark will meet in the 3rd place match for another exciting match between these two, and although Clark leads the series 2-1, I think DeMarco will come back and even the series.

 

220: 1.) Carroll   2.) Grange   3.) Clark   4.) Cree

 

Will Christian Carroll see the second period this weekend? We will get to see just how above the rest of the field #1 in the nation Christian Carroll is when he faces off against #3 Juan Grange in the semi-state finals. Grange, while the clear underdog here, has put together a fantastic season thus far, having only one blemish on his record his season in a 3-2 loss to #1 at HWT and nationally ranked Leighton Jones. I think it's realistic that Grange could make it far into the match with Carroll, but it's also a possibility that Carroll continues to pin his way through the whole state tournament. In the bottom quarter bracket here, we have a death draw in #10 Paul Clark and #12 Corey Hill. I think Clark will edge him out to make it to state, where he will see #15 Jordan Cree in the 3rd place match. Cree should have no problem punching his ticket here, and he will be our 4th place winner here.

 

285: 1.) Whitenack   2.) Begley   3.) Sparks   4.) White

 

I am a Begley believer. UR Liam Begley is an undersized heavyweight, yet he has put together a great post season run thus far, losing only to #2 Hunter Whitenack, who... is not an undersized heavyweight. I think that Begley will ride this momentum all the way to the finals where he will meet up with Whitenack again, where I think Whitenack will once again win. Whitenack will run into #21 Peyton Kendall in the ticket round, so unfortunately, one of these state qualifiers will not be going again this year. As for #14 Theodore Sparks and #15 Trey White, I think that they make it pretty easily into the semis, where I predict them to fall and meet in the 3rd place match, where they will have a rematch of the DAC finals. I expect Sparks to win this rematch and take 3rd.

 

That's all I got. Once I get results and see state brackets I will get to work on a state write up.

 

 

At 195 Clark leads the series

over DeMarco 3-1. He has won at dual meet, DAC conference finals, and now at Regionals. DeMarco won at the Al Smith.

You know the team from East Chicago would win.  Why even try.

Demarco placed higher at state last year at 195, and after watching Jendreas and Hockaday at team state, I’ll say Bailey will have a tough match.  I just hope Bailey and Jendreas are opposite sides and should be the finals at semistate

So I know the original question was an Allstar team of just the 1a,2a,3a champs... but I thought this looked interesting too.

 

106... cp won by fall last time they wrestled.. however I'm not sure that could be repeated... cp 3-0

 

113 gotta go with the Allstars here... but in a close match... 3-3

 

120 again the Allstars but closer than most would think..... Allstars lead dual 3-6

 

126 cp wins this one... dual tied 6-6

 

132 Allstars win... 6-9

 

138 cp by fall .. 12-9

 

145 close match... I'll take cp 15-9

 

152 ill take cp again... 18-9

 

160 "match of the dual" just on rankings all stars... 18-12

 

170 Allstars for the win by fall ... 18-18

 

182 Cp fires right back with major 22-18

 

195 cp wins again.. in a nail biter 25-18

 

220 Allstars... by fall... 25-24

 

285... #2 vs #19 for the title...

 

Allstars win... Allstars win... Allstars win!

 

 

 

 

 

I think an Allstar team of just the 3 Champs gets 4th or 5th this year. 4a was absolutely loaded. With most of the teams having 10 plus guys ranked. 

 

Gotta remember any of the teams from the lower division can come up to 4a. That is what cathedral and EMD do every year. Which I respect! 

 

All in good fun, obviously who made the Allstar team could be a debate all on its own. . Really im the winner as a fan of wrestling.... still thinking about Saturday a day later. 4a team state this year got national attention which is super cool and a huge credit to all the teams involved.

Crown Point isn’t losing this hypothetical match at 132

No redemption, just stating facts. The top 195 in state wasn’t allowed to wrestle, which would have made 195 at EC semistate a lot harder to qualify for state.  By him moving it opened up the 195 spot at Penn, if he stayed the spot would of been his.  And losing his eligibility weakened the quality of wrestling at the state tournament,  I want the best to qualify, yes we need wrestlebacks.

Just left Semi-State East Chicago and I have to say the way Indiana does it’s state is a embarrassment considering how good Indiana wrestling is overall. I moved here from out of state and this is the absolute WORST way to determine who goes to state.

 

You have high level wrestlers going hone while below average kids go to state.  Is that what you want?  A watered down state tournament lacking quality?  Without seeding and a more importantly wrestle backs Indiana State is hollow!

 

I watched kids crying after close loses. NO KIDS should be crying off losing one match before state or at it for that matter.  It’s is an ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A SYSTEM!

 

Yes, my kid lost in a match that never should have happened putting the 5th ranked kid in the state with the 2nd ranked kid in the state in a death match with no wrestle back.  He lost a close match and that pisses me off.  He is a better wrestler than most kids actually going to state!

 

Howevee, even if he had won it would still be upsetting because a high quality kid goes homes while other kids move on that wouldn’t last 1 minute with either kid!

 

it is a disgrace!

 

 

You should thank Christian Carroll for moving and opening up the 195 spot at Penn.
