Should be a great event on Wednesday. Looking back at the lineups for Cathedral (Dual & Tournament), they have a tendency to move kids around more often. The Royals have been extremely consistent, so I am comfortable predicting their lineup with a degree of accuracy. With that said, in this dual, each team could/may adjust a few weights depending on who reports first to the table.
Projected lineup with State Ranking and Semi-State Ranking:
106: Matthew Rossman (NR, NR) vs Gavin Bragg (#21, #4)- Irish
113: William May (NR, NR) vs Evan Dickey (#2, #1)- Irish
120: Alex Plahitko (NR, NR) vs Aden Reyes (#11, #4)- Irish
126: Patrick McGinley (NR, NR) vs Josh Johnson (#12, #4)- Irish
132: Drew Willis (#20, #6) vs Zeke Seltzer (#1, #1)- Irish
138: Bryce Lowery (#3, #1) vs Luke Gonzalez (#12, #3)- Royals
145: Zach Wilson (#8, #8) vs Dillon Graham (#9, #5)- Royals
152: Kody Glithero (#5, #1) vs Max McGinley (NR, NR)- Royals
160: Andrew Stuck (#19, #4) vs Gabe Bragg (NR, NR)- Royals
170: James Dozier (NR, NR) vs JJ Braun (#14, #2)- Irish
182: Sam Hansen (#10, #3) vs Jake Hosbrook (NR, NR)- Royals
195: Sam Peeples (#16, #2) vs Grayson Harvey (#25, #6)- Royals
220: Justin Lewis (NR, #4) vs Jackson Weingart (NR, NR)- Royals
285: Luke Swartz (NR, NR) vs Hosia Smith (#12, NR)- Irish
I see the 14 matches being split, 7-7. Bonus points are always the key to any close dual, and this will be no different. I will be in attendance and pulling for Roncalli, but more than anything I want to see good sportsmanship and everyone going home healthy.
