What I am saying is 285 in this particular Regional is not what it has been in the last couple of years...For that fact neither is 189 or 215. We just don't have the level of competition for whatever reason to allow Van winkle to be given a walk over based on his record.
If CP puts solid wrestlers on the mat at 171, 215, and 285...They stand a very good chance at taking those classed. 189 is also a possibility depending on which Boots shows up for that given match.
In the lower weights (103 - 119 especially) this particular MD line up is not stellar. If MD wants to win, they will have to come up HUGE in a couple of places and CP will have to fall apart I am afraid.
Not trying to be argumentative, but this ISN'T the MD of old. They win duals and tourneys, but the level of competition locally they have faced this year isn't what it has been in the recent past. My point to my post is look at what MD did in the Regional finals. You send that many kids to the finals, and end up with 3 champs seems to indicate to me that as a team, against high caliber competition, MD is somewhat exposed. CP brings a very strong lineup to the table. So MD will have to step it up.
Like I said, just my 2 cents, and I hope they wrestle their butts off.
