Eagles do battle tonight with #27 Mt. Carmel out of Illinois. Features matchup should be 113 Mendoza vs Brown. Mendoza beat Brown 13-5 at IM. I think he closes the gap this time. MC also has Sergio Lemley at 132 who is a top 3 guy at his weight, interested to see how Kade Brown does against him.
Saturday looks to be a quad with Joliet Catholic, Lake Highland Prep (FL) and host Marist. ( I am giving my "analysis" based off Ironman results for these 4 schools)
Joliet- Not sure if they're nationally ranked, (I feel like this was Rudy's high school btw) but they are led by MatScouts #1 Heavyweight Dillan Johnson. Other guys who look to be solid for them are Mims (120) & Alessio (157)
Lake Highland- Very solid team I know they're at IM every year. 120 Rivera and 138 Rivera are very tough wrestlers who wrestle lots of tight matches- As do Butler and Bennett, the most likely opponents.
150 Mojena- Saw he placed 6th at Ironman, lets hope Eaton has his conditioning up by now.
165 Boykin won a couple matches at IM. I think a really good test for smaller Miller
Marist- All that stood out to me was Resendez lost a 3-2 against Butler at IM and 138 Denny beat Bennett 2-0., lets hope he can get some payback.
I'm sure I missed some guys but overall I think Eds should win all duals with ease. Maybe
@bucksman can chime in with some insight on a few potential good matchups? Go Eagles.
