Indiana vs Kentucky dual under the lights our champs blank them. Up and down the line all 8 of ours vs all 8 of theirs I'll give them 3 matches. Champs vs champs they are going home empty handed I wrestled with several KY champs in college 3-4 yrs ago and they weren't on the same level as the 4th 5th place Indiana guys

It'd be cool to see the EMD boys bring the tights back.

God no.

It'd be cool to see the EMD boys bring the tights back.

God no.

I have been coaching for a few years now and been wrestling several more and I have yet to find a coach who won't try and persuade a ref to make a call whether the call is actually there or just trying to tie up the match or win. I know for a fact I do this probably 3-4 times a match I actually got a ref to call stalling on a kid who had a power half trying to turn us this year. But you may just be an upset parent or whatever but don't come at coaches and put the integrity and morality of great coaches on the line because you're upset.

WOW , figured there would be more Predictions!

 

HulkBrother I like some of your upsets! But @ 195 Shaffer has already MD 14-4 GoForth. Shaffer is on a MISSION!!!

Strickly for upsets my man. Might not happen but a man can hope.

106- Campbell, Rioux, Sego, Overton

113- Garcia, Petro, Lawhead, Adkins

120-Mosconi, Mills, Denny, Weddle

126-Mulkey, Pruett, Pitzulo, Galvin

132-Miranda, Campbell, Kreitzer, Burdon

138-Conley, Bigelow, Anderson, Grubb

145-Lee, Coyle, Mosconi, Reese

152-Clark, Willham, Thomas, Myers

160-Stock, Mappes, Brewer, Adkins

170-Stock, Hayes, VanHorn, Runyan

182-Walton, Moore, Smith, Hubner

195-Hammond, Goforth, Shaffer, Seri

220-Scroggs, Larson, Lee, McCormick

285-Henson, Heinrichs, Biddle, Clark

In order.

160 preferably Whitaker for the most expensive shaved ice??

106- Egli, Mills, Rooks, Casebolt

            I expect a strong showing from the Mater Dei freshman as well as Mills and Rooks this Saturday, and look forward to watching this loaded weight class. However, when the dust settles, I believe Egli will take the crown as the champion.

113- Annakin, Stull, McKinney, Horty

            I expect Annakin to be fairly dominating this weekend in a weight class that will be dominated by southern wrestlers. This weight class seems to be pretty straightforward. Expect a strong showing from Baxter next weekend as well.

120- Luigs, Hunt, Mulkey, Miller

            Once again, I am picking the south. Luigs has dominated pretty much everyone who has had the misfortune to step on the mat with him. Expect another very exciting weight class.

126- Hudkins, Dilbeck, Combest, Happe

            Hudkins will dominate this weight class. The returning state champ is back with a vengeance. I am also picking Happe for the upset. The first year varsity wrestler has put up a strong showing thus far, and I expect him to continue to do so.

132- Lee, Clopton, Molloy, Elpers

            Once again, expect a race for second place (or first loser if you like). I am gambling on an SIAC rivalry to arise in the semis between Clopton and Elpers, but believe that Clopton will be able to pull out the win. Molloy got the bad luck draw; however, I would not count him out next weekend as a three seed.

138- McCoy, Ramsey, Jourdan, Reese

            A tough quarter-final match between Lee and Jourdan defines this weight-class; however, I expect the athletic senior to pull out the win. Draw of the day goes to Castle’s Ramsey who should be able to make it to the finals; however, expect him to meet his match in the finals.

145- Lee, Bethel, Crowl, Gibson

            Expect Lee to come to the mat with a vengeance. He is a man on a mission and anyone in his way should probably get out. I expect the athletic Bethel to put up another strong semi-state showing.

152- Aydelott, Herrin, Lehman, Smith

This is a fairly wide open weight-class and was one of the more difficult to predict. I expect that these will be the four guys to come out but the order, I feel, is very subject to change. Lee, Crowl, Betheldanpe

160- Van Horn, Whitaker, Farmer, Glover

            This weight class, outside of Van Horn, is marked by inflated records. I expect Brownsburg’s four seed to pull out of the top corner of the bracket, and potentially an upset by Carr in the second corner. I believe Van Horn is the easy favorite; however, Castle’s Farmer has the potential for an upset.

170- Walton, Dowell, Hendrick, Owens

            Expect B-Burg’s stud sophomore to pull out the victory; however, do NOT expect a cake walk. Expect Castle senior Evan Dowell to put a strong fight through the tournament and potentially an upset in the finals. Expect a good fight for the coveted three seed to escape from the dreaded four seed.

182- Dalton, Dial, Mohler, McKinley

            Welcome to the weakest weight class of the semi-state. I expect the senior from Bloomington North to succeed in his endeavor of the crown; however, the potential for upset is very real at this weight class and these four are by no means concrete.

195- Wilderman, Robinson, Lee, Redmond

            I expect the Mater Dei junior to dominate this weight class. His victory against Tante earlier this year solidifies him as one of the best in the state. I expect Robinson to come out of the top side of the bracket; however, not without a fight with Redmond. I believe this close match will also cost Redmond his consolation match due to the physical and emotional toll of the match in the semis.

220- Larson, Scroggs, Dixon, Boots

            I expect Animal of Avon to walk away with this one. The Wildcat’s Boots dynasty continues with Michael, and I expect him to hold the tradition and continue to state following his show at regionals. However, I expect him to meet his match against Scroggs in the semis.

HWT- York, Henson, Klem, Galligar

            Expect York to pull the gold in this one, but be prepared for a potentially exciting heavy weight tournament. Klem has not been his usual, exciting self this post-season, so I would not expect much better than a third place finish for him. I am predicting a much larger crowd for the heavy weight championship than normal due to the matchup between these heavy-weight brawlers.

 

 

VanHorn the easy favorite?? kid is a great wrestler but Whitaker has beat him 3 matches in a row if you include conference. And Dunn and Rooks aren't making it out?? I need whatever it is you have been taking my friend.

I was an unranked underdog wrestling the number 4 kid in the state first round and number 11 in the ticket round my sophmore year and made it out so I agree coach I'm a HUGE fan of underdogs. Goodluck to wrestlers especially mine.

Lee over Molloy 22-10

Red over Molloy 9-3

Lee over red 7-5

I'm never wrong though, just ask my wife!

i would have to agree

You people picking Malloy over Lee know absolutely nothing about wrestling!

NO PARTICULAR ORDER at the top of my picks....

NO PARTICULAR ORDER

Team race will be tight Brownsburg is TOUGH and well Mater Dei is Mater Dei

106: Rooks, Egli, Mills, Casebolt... Excited for Garcia and Rooks Garcia is tough same with Denny and Egli

113: Annikan, Weaver, Mosconi, Pruett..... Stull and Mosconi should be good Mosconi is just a beast and the bottom four of this bracket will be fun anyone can come out of it I got Pruett.

120: Hunt, Rooks, Mulkey, Luigs.... Cut and dry.

126: Hudkins, Pritchett, Dilbeck, Gomez.....Dilbeck and Mosconi could go either way. Look for Blubaugh to give Gomez a decent match.

132: Molloy, Lee, Sellmer, Elpers..... Conley and Sellmers should be a good match. Molloy Vs Lee in the semi talk about exciting.

138: Ramsey, Reese, McCoy, Lee.... Pretty cut and dry IMO Reese has had a tough two weeks but I look for him to punch his ticket.

145: Gibson, Lee, Crowl, Coyle... Poor Wilkerson. Coyle Bethel can go either way but watch Coyle the last two weeks I got him punching his ticket.

152: Lehman, Aydelott, Dunn, Herrin.... Don't count out Connor Dean.

160: Mundy??, Whitaker, Farmer, VanHorn... Mundy vs O'Neal not sure which one haven't seen them wrestle.

170: Hayes, Fuller, Walton, Runyan.... Fuller vs Dowell will be good.

182: Dial, Damler, Dalton, McKinley... Dalton vs Sonner tough ticket round match and Goforth is tough look for a good match with McKinley

195: Robinson, McCormick, Wilderman, Lee. If McCormick doesn't gas or get sick whatever the issues was in the regional finals I think he makes it out very tough kid.

220: McCubbins, Scroggs, Choate, Larson..... Dixon vs Choate good match.

285: Ripple, Henson, York, Kelm... Henson vs Dwyer solid match.

Us coaches at mooresville didn't receive any draws at the conclusion of the tournament.

Just from looking at the Evansville brackets it seems they are very lopsided... Will be some state placers going home early. Unfortunate but that is how the system is setup.

I agree and 145 will have some fun ticket round matches... Unfortunately there are some pretty dang good kids going home in those matches.

Bold talk

Woukd it be "bold" of me to say all 170's from Mooresville make it to state? Clearly the top 4 at Evansville SS

120: Mulkey, Fisher, Siddiqui, Burdon

126: Hudkins, Gomez, Mosconi, Pritchett

132: Molloy, Conley, Roth, Allen

138: Lee, Reese, Williams, Trietsch

145: Coyle, Wilkerson, King, Cullen

152: Dunn, Clark, Dean, Adkins

160: Whitaker, Vanhorn, Mappes, Stock

170: Walton, Hayes, Runyan, Moore

182: Dalmer, Goforth, Frank, Montgomery
