Team wise I am calling New Albany the heavy favorite with their solid showing last weekend at the HHC conference tournament. Normally the non HHC teams help break things up at this sectional but this year most of those teams are down. Look for Devil-Dawg-Highlanders to rule the podiums. Top wrestler: Noah Franklin New Washington / returning qualifier looking to make the Bankers Life podium Darkhorse: Sean Brown Floyd Central / very good wrestler in the toughest weight class. Could be projected 1-3 along with the other 2 guys above him. Lock: Zach Higdon Charlestown / if Hayes is at 195, I don't see Higdon being beaten barring injury 106 The Dawgs get on the board early with their first champ Aaron Gohl New Albany Robbie Stein Eastern Trenton Cunningham Floyd Central Evan Rodgers Providence 113 A battle I am eager to see. I'll take the returning state qualifier over the future state placer in round 1. Noah Franklin New Washington Tristan Selmer Floyd Central Tanner Smith Charlestown Dakota Erickson New Albany 120 Jones should handle this weight class Stephen Jones Jeffersonville Matt Mosely New Washington Jonathan Davey New Albany Wayne Nicholas Floyd Central 126 The Dawgs strike again.... #2 on the day Romerro Bradford New Albany Brant Stewart Eastern Jack Ferraro Jeffersonville Chase Shalosky Floyd Central 132 The deepest weight class in the sectional. Top to bottom very solid wrestlers Jimmy Wise New Washington Tristan Dowell New Albany Sean Brown Floyd Central Cameron Hopson Charlestown 138 Castleberry and Crowl square off yet again and the Dawgs grab #3 Hunter Castleberry New Albany Tyler Crowl Floyd Central Josh Sauer Jeffersonville ?????????????????????? 145 Bad blood between these MSC rivals? Bryant Haynes Charlestown Ezra Paden Corydon Central Freddie Hudson Jeffersonville Max Hauser Floyd Central 152 Dawg champ #4 Tre Lynch New Albany Brayden Hoke Floyd Central Donavon Smith Jeffersonville Trace Blackwell New Washington 160 Dawg champ #5 Dalton Mowerey New Albany Bryan Simpson Jeffersonville Zach Rodgers Floyd Central Chase Blackwell New Washington 170 Dawg champ #6 D Fredrick New Albany Dylan Jolley-Little Jeffersonville Tyler Olson Charlestown Karl Hauser Floyd Central 182 The Pirates gain their second sectional champ as Higdon rolls through this class - Hayes Zach Higdon Charlestown Bradley Philpott Floyd Central David Harrison New Albany Ashton Smith Jeffersonville 195 Will Hayes stay at 195 or drop to 82 setting up an epic showdown with Higdon? Would be another crazy match that this fan will be glad he showed up for.... just saying Matt Hayes Providence Chase Thompson Jeffersonville Josh Harvey Floyd Central Jaden Sonner New Albany 220 Dawg champ #7 Could be a crazy day for New Albany Chad McClanahan New Albany Nathan Long Jeffersonville Tobin Smith Floyd Central Combs Charlestown HWT Pretty solid set of heavyweights gathered here. Rinzel is coming in with confidence after a big win over Kolby Mount of Scottsburg Evan Hickerson Jeffersonville Patrick Landrum New Albany Harrison Rinzel Providence Robbie Leuthart Corydon Central

Corydon doesnt have the level of success as others but you asked and Ill answer. It has to be between these three guys: Jason Ward currently 3rd in wins, Bryan Eads tied for 1rst, Derrick Beamer tied for first. Ill get my stats about how far they went and often at open mat tonight.

when is the next update?

Less than a month away, so its about time to see some predictions. I dont have all of the head to head results but I do have quite a few of them. Also some coaches are less than willing to report results so sleepers will no doubt arise. Nonetheless here are my predictions edition 1 103:sheppard jeff,lahue corydon,happell floyd 112:smith jeff 119:miller jeff, wolf charlestown 125:stotridge charlestown, springer corydon 130:witt floyd martin new albany,fowler corydon 135:weekly jeff 140:sudderth charlestown 145:sampson new wash,moberly floyd,newcomb charlestown, rickman NA 152:daugherty charlestown,tatgenhorst jeff 160:golembeski providence,marlin jeff 171:browner jeff 189:bowen jeff 215:dewitt corydon,pratt jeff 285: hoke new albany Jeff wins handily with Floyd Central second. So now begin tearing these apart so I can promptly begin edition number 2.

Lahue Corydon 103 Happel Floyd Price Indy Arsenal Tech #13 112 Welch Castle Griesemer Princeton # 12 119 Mcginley Arsenal Tech McEllhiney Princeton # 15 125 Brown Castle Springer Corydon Witt Floyd 130 Fowler Corydon both ss qualifiers 135 ? Doud Castle 140 D.Welch Castle #4 145 Moberly Floyd #6 C Welch Castle #3 152 Holt Col North Weikel Castle #15 160 Stein Princeton #2 171 Weiss Heritage Hills #3 Rosebrock Castle #6 189 Brownfield Col North # 8 Wright Indy Arsenal Tech # 10 215 Dewitt Corydon Daugherty Castle # 6 HWT Luebbehusen Heritage Hills Edwards Floyd My pick to win is Castle Followed by either Princeton or Columbus North. Floyd should score a bunch of points in the consolation bracket.

any surprises on weights?

based on numbers alone jeff should at the very least do well but add in a coach who is one of the best in southern indiana and i have to agree with you jeff is here to stay. i do not think this means that year in and year out they are above floyd though because i think when it comes to the tech side of the sport their coaches are far and away the best in this sectional.

if he would have gone 40 or 45 sure you could throw him in but if he is going 52 come sectional time which is a ways off i dont see how you could say hes a faveorite. sampson is back and that kid can wrestle a little bit.

christian academy in southern indiana has their kids forfeit rather than wrestle a girl. its a school imposed rule and i know the coaches are not fond of it.

in terms of state placers yes this is a very weak sectional and followed by a weak regional. your team predictions are a little off. jeff floyd charlestown new albany providence corydon=salem, corydon will be down this year might only have 2 kids make it out of sectional

sorry old buddy but i just talked to him and hes back at corydon his kentucky wrestling dreams are no more. shouldnt you be looking at the southridge sectional anyways?

if witt stays at 130 that could set up a nice matchup of weekly and witt. i still go with the floyd guy just to break up the red n silver monopoly at the lower weights.

What is the early word here who is going what weight class. Here are the top returning guys at last years weights if anyone knows who is where or who isnt wrestling go ahead and throw that out here. 103. Sheppard Jeff, Lahue Corydon, Kelly FC 112. Smith Jeff, Wolf Ctown, Thomas FC 119. Stotridge Ctown, Miller Jeff, Freeman Eastern 125. Martin NA, Weekly Jeff, Emerson FC 130. Witt FC, Fowler Corydon, ? 135. Massingham NW, Kessinger NA 140. Newcomb Ctown, Hamm NA 145. Newcomb Ctown, Moberley FC, Hendricks Jeff 152. Sampson NW, Tatenghorst Jeff, ? 160. Golembeski Prov, Daugherty Ctown, ? 171. Browner Jeff, Libretto Prov, Humphrey Salem 189. Bowen Jeff, Conn NA, ? 215. Dewitt Corydon, Mudd NA 285. Hoke NA, Adams NW

are there any open rooms near corydon and what day and times

Leach of Avon beat Cook at mater dei. Lahue has wrestled some tough kids this year but his best work has been done in the "off season". most all the young guys from this area know about him and his brother.
