Wish I knew more about the other teams. I know Marion will be there in the 4-5 range bc they bring some solid guys in.

It's almost like there's multiple levels in the tournament.  We have our front runners.  A battle in the middle 4-6, and then a third tournament with everyone else battling for 7 and beyond.

I got oak hill then jay county with homestead right behind in third 

I think Homestead takes it, Oak Hill will be a close second, Jay County taking third.

What are we thinking outside of the top 3?

1. Homestead

2. Oak Hill

Obviously past results dont mean a.hill of beans. Shaffer has worked in the offseason and transformed his body dramatically...as far as 160..we shall see.

If past results did not matter then why seed the wrestlers?  Based on what I've seen, Swallow wins over Shaffer.  I am not doubting the off-season effort or work ethic of anyone. I'm sure they are both great kids who worked hard.  

All in on Parrish at 160.

Jason, you are in Winchester right?  What are your thoughts on the Union City guys?

I will take Shaffer over Swallow at 285...a surprise at 160...every other i am in agreement on.

Swallow has taken he last couple of matchups between Shaffer and Swallow. I would be surprised if he loses to Shaffer at all this season. They'll wrestle at least one more time at the Randolph County tournament and then likely again at sectional.  I'm putting my money on Swallow.  160 is a stacked class, not really a whole lot of unknowns, and I don't really see anyone in the class that would be a surprise.  Parrish is the best wrestler in the group.  Hemmelgarn is solid, but beatable. 

Nicholas Wells has looked pretty dominant this season at 145.  Union City has managed to earn three top seeds. I would be surprised if non of those seeds make the finals.  Jenkins over Wells at 145.
