I also have a couple dogs in the fight but I'll take a stab at who lives to see another Saturday, plus throw in some opinions along the way just for fun!  (The rankings are State first then SS.) These are in NO PARTICULAR ORDER!  
 
106
Jalen May #8/#1 and Benton Kanable NR/#7 come in as the two champs, followed by some really talented single digit loss wrestlers.  Moving on will be: 
May
Kanable
Raber
Hernandez
*First round match to watch: Hernandez/Korreckt
113
Tough weight class featuring #5/#1 Tishner and #13/#4 Davis as the champs and you have Fowler of Cass NR/#8 as well.   Moving on:
Tishner
Fowler
Shaffer
Davis
*First round barn burner: Bumgardner/Shaffer
120
Really loaded weight class here with Holloway #15/#2 and Lisner NR/#9 coming in as the champs.  Throw in #21/#3 Brooks in that mix and you have a great semi final match at the top of this bracket and likely a rematch of the Peru Sectional Championship, as well as the TRC Championship matches in the finals.  Moving on:
Linser
Brooks
Bowland
Holloway
*First round match to watch: Bowland/Stapleton
126
No ranked wrestlers in this bracket but a tough pair in Swango and Raab come in as champs.  Moving on:
Raab
Acord
Adkins
Swango
*First round coin toss match: Adkins/Kelly
132
Manchester's Dylan Stroud comes in ranked #7/#1 and comes in to Saturday highly favored to win.  The OH Champ Kendall will prove to be a formidable foe, but will face a very tough Guyer of Mac on his way to the finals.  Nic Elliot of Marion comes in ranked NR/#9, with only 3 loses will have a tough time with Stroud in his semi final match.  Moving on:
Kendall
Guyer
Elliott
Stroud
138
#24/#5 ranked Clark-Stitts of Kokomo and Baldwin of Peru come in as the champs and will definitely be fighting to repeat this weekend.  Moving on:
Clark-Stitts
Price
Burrous
Baldwin
*First round barn burner: Price/Lawrence
145
#4/#1 Brody Arthur will likely own this field on his way to another trip to State.  In his way will be the Peru Champ Cameron Baber who comes in with only 3 loses and some good momentum.  Moving on:
Arthur
Galvin
Conner
Baber
*Both 2/3 first round matches in this weight class are evenly matched and could go either way!
152
Another weight class featuring 1 State Ranked wrestler in Betz from Western and 2 SS ranked guys in Porter and Gard (Peru Champ) who will likely light the place up with their semi final match!   Moving on will be:
Betz
Ayres
Porter
Gard
*1st round barn burner: Porter/Farnell
160
#10/#2 Farnell is coming in with only 1 loss in nearly 40 matches and is having a great season.  Kokomo Senior Howard NR/#4 will be ready to stand his way.  Moving on:
Howard
Fennell
Pleak
Farnell
*First round barn burner: Pleak/Lincoln
170
Fans will likely be treated to the 3rd rematch this year between two monsters in Porter #3/#1 and Shephard #4/#2....and likely a 4th rematch in the finals next weekend in the War Memorial Coliseum!   Porter only has one loss and Shepard only 2 (both to Porter).  Winning the Peru Sectional is a tough as nails junior Zach France who is NR/#7 and at 31-3 is having a great season.  I can't wait to watch his semi final match with Shephard!  Moving on will be:
Porter
Bandelier
Shephard
France
*Fireworks first round match: Bandelier/Miller
182
The champs in this bracket are East NR/#3 and Goshert (18-1).  They'll have a tough route on their way to try to repeat this weekend.  Moving on are:
East
Shoaff
Caudell
Goshert
*First round CAN'T MISS BATTLE of the freshmen: Caudell/Ringeisen
195
Washburn is #21/#1 and Deming is #14/#5...and these two giants have no desire to step down from the top spot on the podium and I can't wait to see this battle in the finals!!!  Trying to stop this from happening is a tough NR/#6 Norman of Western that will make for a battle with Deming in the semis.  Moving on:
Washburn
Taylor
Norman
Deming
*First round swing match: Taylor/Hawkins
220
This group of beasts is being headlined by Rochester's super sophomore #6/#2 Brady Beck.  At the other end of the bracket the OH Champ Jones is sitting on only 4 losses on the year.  Moving on:
Jones
Duffy
Buckley
Beck
*DO NOT MISS Duffy/Vermilion. This will be a great first round match
285
#10/#4 Titan HWT Fishback of Rochester has his sights set on the top of the podium again this week.  He'll have a tough battle in the semis with NR/#7 Strange of OH.  On top of the bracket the OH Champ Wright is coming off of a big win last weekend is will be ready for the challenge.  Moving on:
Wright
Hillman-Conley
Strange
Fishback
*Price of admission is worth the first round battle between Strange and Hickle.  These two giants will make for a phenomenal match knowing the season is on the line!
 
Best of luck to all these athletes!  See you there!
