Still disappointing to see consos at the IHSAA state finals being 1:2:2. We are being robbed of quality wrestling.

I think Alex Cottey of Perry Meridian could make some noise if he put on a little bit of weight

No doubt him and Eli Stock are the ones you look back and think "I did not think he would be on top of the podium". Great job by both wrestlers!

I think last year's class of Red, Rypel, and Streck remains superior to the current trio of soon-to-be seniors.

Tonte's headlocks and Walton's chinwhips are both pretty electric to me.

Tyce Freije of Roncalli really impressed me at New Castle this past weekend. To pin that whole field at 120 (which included a number of state ranked wrestlers) really shows that this freshman is legit. With that said, I do think Noehre wins the next one if they meet in a future match up.

I think DeLaPeña has improved tremendously since last season. He looks more impressive every time I see him and he gets my vote.

Way over on New Castle with Parris, Tonte and Stewart, all of the 106lbers, Webster, Bane, Bailey, Melloh, Jessop, Elijah Bailey and Robert Samuels, Slivka, Viduya, and even Noah Warren. I think any of these guys have realistic shots at winning a title. I'm not saying all these guys will even come close to winning it, but I'm almost positive it will be more than 2. Also, 5 seems a little high for East Chicago.

Last years are posted on the sticky at the top of the forum. It appears they will be coming later this week.

This is truley an awful draw, but it may not even be the worst one this year! Friday night has some crazy matches, my vote being for #1 Curtis vs #3 Mattingly. 106 is so wide open this year!

Again, I did not mean to offend anyone or criticize the original poster. I appreciate the time and effort that he put into writing out his personal thoughts, and I largely agree with the majority of his views. However, I thought I would take the opportunity to shoutout a hometown kid that has been underrated for the majority of the year. Forgive me for having a differing opinion!

I was using the term "seed" as a synonym for semi state placement. I wasn't trying to knock your thoughts or the talent of Dull, just wanted to say that 182 will be one hell of a dogfight!

I realize that but I just assumed you would be more likely to mention a #1 seed than a #3 seed.

I think you are overlooking Jessop of HSE @182. Dull will have to get through him before he even gets a chance of beating Gray, let alone getting a shot at Walton.
