Atwood and Duckworth in the same quarter bracket

Looks Like Duckworth possibly taking 5th

Cashe and Tsirtsis in the Semis

Meyer and Runyan in the Semis

Both matches I believe Should be Title Matches

125 #4 Sam Camacho Hobart 27-8 vs #1 Erza Penn Laf Harrison 39-3- Camacho lost in the ticket Rd last year at 119

145 #4 Pat Davenport Penn 31-7 vs #1 Keon Jones Merrillville 33-5 Davenport beat  Jones in the 7/8 place match at Al Smith

171 #4 Deron Johnson Lowell 22-13 vs #1 Huey Hudson SB Riley 32-5 a match up of 8th and 5th placers at Al Smith

171 #4 Blake Hoffer Triton 17-3 vs #1 Andrew Sands Hanover Central 33-12 Hoffer a returning SQ lost 2 at regionals is part of his 3 losses

171 #4 Ryne Bell South Newton 34-2 vs #1 Chris Bartley Griffth 31-3 Bell got his first 2 losses at the Regional. Bartley has spent time between 189/171

189 #4 Mark Shiedler - Winamac 33-5 vs #1 Wille Lott EC Central 22-1

215 #4  Jim Bakalik - Crown Point 21-11 vs #1 Brady Tolle - Lewis Cass 33-1 Bakalik is a go'er has beat some tough comp. this year

I'm not picking all these as upsets but should be some good matches

Nice call for the Medina and Bakalik matches, you get a wahoo from me

Lentz over Cleveland 215 I would consider to be an upset

Who is gonna win it?

I agree, FULL WRESTLEBACKS

12 state qualifiers from the Merrillville semi-state today from small schools....

 

I guess its back to the drawing board for small schools in that area.

That just shows that Wrestling is an Individual Sport.  Doesn't matter where your from, size of your school, its all about how much time, work, and effort you put into the sport where it will take you....

103 Medina at Merrillville SS

215 Bakalik at Merrillville SS

Both taking third today, better at SS then Regionals... We need full wrestle backs at the SS and State tournaments

Porras over Harper from state last year

So Far Crown Point with 4 Hawkins, Tsirtis, Roach, and Meyers more then likely 5 with Shrewsbury

Agree Ayersman, Tsirtsis, Lynde are all great freshman

Surma over Hall 5-0

Roach over Dillion 3-1 OT

Porras 4-0 over Harper

4-2 Porras

Meyers Pins Morin

Trace Hall Just lost in OT to Tanner Lynde-Delphi

Leave the Individual state tournament the way it is, Class the Team State...

Reinoehl and Roach 135

Surma and Sandefur 140

McMurray and Estrada 152

What are some of the Best Semi-Final Matches ?

I think full wrestlebacks would be the way to go, wrestle the first round on friday night.

103 Medina at Merrillville SS

215 Bakalik at Merrillville SS

With all the number 4 regional placers over the Regional Champs Today, and this being the first year a 4 goes on to semistate, we need to change the format to either seed or have wrestlbacks at semistate.  There are alot of wrestlers that should be going to the Big Show that are not because of a bad draw.  What do you guys think?
