What teams are coming?

Bold take..

Cathedral gets 5 in the finals, but they all are runner ups.

Cathedral, Avon, and Columbus East with 3 

Portage, Roncalli, Mater Dei, and Perry Meridian with 2

While Noehre is tough Dickens has been unstoppable so far this season and his motor is crazy. Makes it hard for me seeing Noehre in the finals Saturday night. If I had to guess at a finals match up it would be either Dickens vs Rodgers, or Dickens vs Conley.

I know it was in different styles, but Noehre beat Dickens twice over the summer, should be a very entertaining matchup

I have been away from the sport but regained interest this year. Sorry if this is dumb but I have a question about Wrestlebacks in the Sectional. 

Are these statements correct?

In 8-team Sectionals, losers in the 1st Round/Quarterfinals still have a chance to place in the top 4 & advance thru Wrestlebacks.

In those Sectionals with 9 or more teams, any wrestler who is drawn into a 1st Round/Round of 16 match & loses that match is completely eliminated from the tournament.

correct

He is WAY ahead of the competition after my vote.

might wanna vote agin, he's fallen behind

It’s disrespect from indianamat rankings. I thought these were his own personal ones as well, my bad.

Rose has beat Wilkerson and Walendzak and lost 4-2 to fair yesterday, not feeling the respect..

145- Noehre (Greenfield-Central) over Servies (Perry Meridian) 2-0, 

at Richmond, 132- Hummel (Shenandoah) over Neganagard ( East Central) by fall

I'm actually going to change up my heavyweight predictions,

Koors (Greensburg), Snipes (East Central), Wisner (Knightstown), Ahrens (Lincoln)

I'm with you on about 95% of these, but I just can't see Phillips not winning @ 132

Him and Negangard should be a very good semifinal match. I just picked Negangard winning but it could go either way

106- Otto (South Dearborn), Condo (Milan), Vredeveld (Centerville), Schneider (East Central)

113- Black (New Castle), Lonneman (Milan), Sollars (Knightstown), Busby (Centerville)

Hmmm. Yeah - this is a change. I'm not sure I understand the seeding now though. It shows Hines as the 3 seed now and Purtha as the 2, and Hines beat Purtha 10-2 a few weeks ago.

I don't understand how this is legal? I thought after the seeding meeting everything is final?

It seems that Hagerstown bumped up everyone from 52-70 for some reason.

Purtha has now gone up to 60, so now only three at 152 and I project him to get 3rd at 160

Why not use 12 man brackets?

I would also say not to count out Willhite and Ahrens from Lincoln at 220 and Heavyweight.Those weights seem pretty open in my opinion. Especially with Ahrens having a history of good matches with Wisner, the number 1 seed from Knightstown.
