This was the first Al Smith I’ve missed in a long time. So I was only able to watch the finals and a few select FaceTime matches. A couple of issues I’ve had in the past is just simply inconsistent calls with stalling; from ref to ref and match to match. Also I think some refs don’t recognize hand fighting and/or fighting for position. Just because there hasn’t been a shot in a minute doesn’t mean anyone is stalling.

Looks like Chesterton is forfeiting 106, 113, 220 & 285. Kinda surprising

Gable wrestled on Friday. If Cassar is injured (or not) Gable will probably be the favorite.

Looks like Mendez bumped up to wrestle their #4 ranked 138

IU tweeted “Congrats to future Hoosier @nicholasbolivar who beat the #2 wrestler in the country at 132lb!”

Did Mendez lose to the OPRF kid?

Diaz lost to Martin Cruz at the semi state. He hasn’t wrestled Moran this year. But this should still be a good first round match.

Why does Carmel have a * next to their name?

Many of the region schools have been closed Monday, Tuesday and have already been called off for Wednesday and Thursday.

As I’m reading this thread this was the first question I had as well. Maybe they had enough “qualifying weigh-ins” other than the ones they had to forfeit?

Any other updates?

Looks like some of the brackets are different from the show and track? I noticed 106 and 220. Anyone else notice?

Since the brackets topic is locked. It looks like some of the brackets are different on track from the show.

Some region schools have already cancelled school for tomorrow. Not sure if they can practice tomorrow or not. According to the Hammond Times: Lake Station Schools, River Forest, Hobart and Hammond schools. I’m sure there will be more.

#16 David Taylor lost today. Collin Taylor of Crown Point beat him first round
