Sounds crazy but hear me out I have the KINGSMEN winning the state title next year….. Brady Harper I think will place top 8 an explosive incoming freshman with great accomplishments who has a senior leader Dylan Bennett to train with they get along dry well and will be their to push eachother also able to look up to his older senior leader brother Harper to set an example ryann Schmidtendorff I think will place top 8 has been ticket round the last two years and started him growing up around sectionals expect him to be strong next season also having the senior Dylan Bennett to help him out along the wayDylan Bennett I think will place top 8 with him not making it I think he’s going to take this summer personal and come back with a huge exclamation mark Angelo vargo I think can contend for a title this kid is strong strong fireworks I know him and Denton will be pushing eachother hard in the room also having a win over state champ thrine this summer dominant dominant wrestler Wesley Harper I think will place top 5 he’s starting to become comfortable with where he wants to go and unfortunately didn’t wrestle to his potential this semi state and got 4th resulting to a cheoney Friday night but he had a fall win over state runner up Courtney so we know what he’s capable of when he’s fired up Bryce Denton I think can contend for a title we saw something this year that is rare this kid had everything going against him and still made it back to Indy he’s powerful explosive he has everything to win a title next season I could go on and on about this kid my son asked him what’s his plans now and Denton responded with he’s going to take a few weeks off to get back to 100% and then he’s in the room everyday and that he feels bad for whoever steps on the mat across from him because next season is personal and that these injurys took a great season from his hands so with him being smart with his body Denton is coming harder and stronger then ever Zymarion Hollyfield I think will place top 8 a very very very aggressive wrestler who has noted that he needs to tighten his tool box to match his aggression I have seen him at his best and I don’t see many people getting in his way vinny freeman I think will place top 3 6th place as a freshman is insane not to mention he was a boy amount men who went nose to nose with everyone out there listening to the kid talk and listening to his teammates talk he has strongly surrendered himself with the now senior leader Denton ajd looks up to the kid so much he is in good hands I heard them talking and hugging after his placement match and you could hear in dentons voice how proud he was of him and that he wants vinny to train and workout with him all summer and said “we’re going to be under the lights together next year” with the push of a leader added to the youngsters skill and talent I can’t wait to see where this kid goes Brody brown I think will place top 8 he’s been under the radar due to Payton Kendall and yes he isn’t a national champ hidden just your daily high school wrestler but he’s a monster big big boy for their challenge he was down to Kendall by 1 and tripped right in bounds to get stuck but Harper has taken him under his wing and has hugeeeeee goals for this man and we await for them to show so with my thinking penn could bring 9 qualifiers and 9 could place with 2 possible champs

Another shout out to the young stud Bryce Denton who has been competing with a torn mcl then today during his second match unfortunately dislocated his right ankle making both his legs unable to produce power this man continued to finish the day off true true heart and dedication hope for the best for him

Should be fun let’s hear your guy’s predictions to busy to give a full write out but here’s some predictions 106: Salazar > Chavez (fall or major decision) 113: schmittendorff> kite (decision) 120: sandefur > Bennett (decision) 126: Mason> Ashe (fall or major decision) 132: Walker > greene (fall or tech fall) 138: Harper> Robles (decision) 145: smith> eutsey (decision or major decision) 152: brabender>Denton (decision) but!!!

Just heard some rumors going around on the Mishawaka side and found out that Harper is staying at 138 and they are being in Bryce Denton and Denton is accepting the fact and has been begging to let them wrestle and they gave in and Denton is going to make the state run with a torn MCL (THANK GODDD WE GET TO SEE HIM BACK ON THE MAT!!!!!) but they are bumping him to 152….. so be ready for sectionals because man it is going to be a showdown between Brabender and Denton

One of the weaker sectionals in the state but still fun matches!! Let me know your guys predictions! 106: Champ - Xavier Chavez 1: Xavier Chavez ( Mishawaka ) 2: Travis Sears ( Penn ) 3: Lilly Anderson ( Mishawaka Marian ) 4: Josh Raabe ( South Bend Riley ) 113: Champ - Josh Kite * FUN/KEY MATCH * 1: Josh Kite ( MIshawaka ) 2: Ryann Schmidtendorff ( Penn ) 3: Braxton Shines ( South Bend Riley ) 4:Alex LaCava ( Mishawaka Marian ) 120: Champ - Dylan Bennett 1: Dylan Bennett ( Penn ) 2: Gunnar Sandefur ( Mishawaka ) 3: Andrew Eria ( Mishawaka Marian ) 4: Chris Williams ( South Bend Saint Joseph ) 126: Champ - Will Mason 1: Will Mason ( MIshawaka ) 2: Braden Ashe ( Penn ) 3: Caden Garza ( MIshawaka Marian ) 4: Isaiah Fleese ( South Bend Clay ) 132: Champ - Wesley Harper *FUN/KEY MATCH* can see it going either way but I have to stick with my Kingsmen on this one 1: Wesley Harper ( Penn ) 2: Zar Walker ( Mishawaka ) 3: Ben Walatka ( South Bend Riley ) 4: Vernaughn Johnson ( South Bend Washington ) 138: Champ - Bryce Denton * This is my prediction leaning towards he is going to return. It will be interesting to see if he is still the aggressive and mean Denton we all enjoy watching * 1: Bryce Denton ( Penn ) 2: Michael Robles ( MIshawaka ) 3: Zach Pflugner ( South Bend Riley ) 4: Delton Swisscz ( South Bend Adams ) 145: Champ - Evan Eutsey 1: Evan Eutsey ( Penn) 2: Chris Peacock ( Mishawaka ) 3: Trayvon Fleming ( South Bend RIley ) 4: Edwardo Gomez ( South Bend Adams ) 152: Champ - Beau Brabender 1: Beau Brabender ( Mishawaka ) 2: Jamaiel Lowe ( South Bend Riley ) 3:Leo Santiago ( Penn ) 4: Markes Warren ( South Bend Washington ) 160: Champ - AJ Steenbeke 1: AJ Steenbeke ( Penn ) 2: Marques Young ( South Bend Riley ) 3: Courtney Rider ( Mishawaka ) 4: Patrick Loesch ( Mishawaka Marian ) 170: Champ - Zymarian Hollyfield *FUN/KEY MATCH* 1: Zymarian Hollyfield ( Penn ) 2: Isaac Valdez ( Mishawaka ) 3: Isaiah Rivas ( South Bend Riley ) 4: Adam Miller ( South Bend Saint Joseph ) 182: Champ - Vinny Freeman 1: Vinny Freeman ( Penn ) 2: Jeirmi Scales ( South Bend Riley ) 3: Caiden Williams ( Mishawaka ) 4: Terrion Lee ( South Bend Washington ) 195: Champ - Christian Chavez 1: Christian Chavez ( Mishawaka ) 2: JoJo Williams ( Penn ) 3: Justin Smith ( South Bend Riley ) 4: Jack Burd ( Mishawaka Marian ) 220: Champ - John Aranowski 1: John Aranowski ( South Bend Saint Joseph ) 2: Zander Paden ( Mishawaka ) 3: Sam Sullivan ( Penn ) 4: Richard Walker ( South Bend Washington ) HWT: Champ - Peyton Kendall 1: Peyton Kendall ( Penn ) 2: Trevor Wendt ( Mishawaka ) 3: Jesus Rodriguez ( South Bend Saint Joseph ) 4: Adrion Griffin ( South Bend Riley ) *NOTES* 1) Was Schmidtendorff´s pin at Henry Wilk skill? And can he revenge his lost and take the lead on the series 2-1 or will Kite put Schmidtendorff in his place one last time and show everyone he only got caught at the Henry Wilk. 2) Can Will Mason shut down another Penn kid or is Ashe going to be the one to take him out. Ashe is a very strong kid and can stick you just like that but can Mason make his technique just to much for ashe to handle. 3) The most anticipated match everyone is waiting to see is Walker and Harper. Walker took the injury win at Al Smith but I think Harper has had plenty of learning lately and I believe he is going to show up and take the nail bitter over Walker. 4) Another thing people are anticipating is the return of Bryce Denton. Is he good to go ? Is he out? SO MANY QUESTION!!! But I hope he is doing well and cant wait to see him back in the Black and Gold. 5) I Know we can't wait any longer for the Hollyfield and Valdez rematch it was full of fireworks last time. I think Valdez is the better wrestler but Hollyfields aggression seems to be just too much for Valdez. Can Valdez fix that faster then Sectionals turns the corner? 6) 220 I realized it will be our first champ from a different school then Penn and Mishawaka this year. Aranowski has shown some skills on the mat lets see if it continues for him 7) I think Penn crawls away with the Title but only a few points but I will also not be shocked if Mishawaka pulls it off.

Sadly we are awaiting for further notice to see if Bryce Dentons season has come to an end after the first 30 seconds of him and Evan cruz during the Al smith semifinal he took a shot and Cruz went to defend and twisted his leg just right ( FREAK ACCIDENT NOTHING INTENTIONAL!) and it resulted in him suffered a torn knee….. that being said he showed so much heart and determination being able to finish the match winning 4-3 and the trainer and coaches and Penn fans did not want him to wrestle the finals but he told them and us that he was going to go out there and give it his all and he did he left everything on the mat losing 6-4 to a very good wrestler Reese Courtney with just one leg. Prayers out to the young stud to be back for the state run!

Can’t wait to watch

Denton over issac Ward at 138 9-6 or 11-6 not sure if they counted the take down by Denton at the buzzer. Very fun match to watch fast pace the whole time.

Like I said I’m not hear to argue with you guys all night just know he’s coming and he’s coming hard

Also why do you guys always be picking Denton out his freshman and sophomore year he went to state when nobody had him in there too 4 like jeez hasn’t he proven you guys wrong enough lol smh

And another thing is if I’m not mistaken Denton lost 7-3 to solomey at IHPO but it was 5-3 but solomey got some iffy nearfall that shouldn’t have been called….. But I’m not going to sit here and argue with someone over a screen Ive been hearing that my boys have been putting in work and extra work and we all know what the KINGSMEN are capable of. Just don’t be butthurt when i said I told you so

Okay I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said easy but I honestly don’t think it will be a one point two point match he is a natural 145 wrestling 132 he is going to be huge there I think he is a top 3 contender possibly might run the state *not to mention this will be his first high school season that he has no injuries or anything effecting him* also at 132 I see it being 1)Bryce Denton 2)zar walker 3)landon hawkins 4)Jeffery huyvaert so either Denton will knock him to the 3rd and 4th place match or walker will

I agree with you but it’s just exiting to see because our boys love those hard competitions but I do feel jendreas wins easy Frazier wins easy Denton wins easy and goin wins

Looks like there gonna be studs again this year, but im exited for the semi state this year to see our kingsmen try to chase down the bulldogs. We bring a few studs to the table though. Jendreas vs Bennett, Harper vs Frazier, Denton vs Hawkins, Steenbeke vs Goin

Normally a small sectional but should have some exciting championship matches between Penn and Mishawaka Gunnar Sandefur vs Jake Petras Rematch (120) Gunnar Sandefur vs Dylan Bennett (113) Bryce Denton vs Zar walker rematch (132) Beau Brabender vs Grant Mallery (145) Christian Chavez vs Jojo Williams (195)
