Friendly thread to discuss and post about EBC wrestling. Thoughts and predictions for league titles and where everyone will be at for tournaments during and after the regular season.
 
 
League Duals Standings Predictions

1. Carrollton
2. Salem
3. Marlington
4. Minerva
5. Alliance
6. West Branch

I don’t expect much shift from last years standings. I think if there is a year to do it for Salem, this is it. I know Carrollton lost a couple state placers but they are going to backfill nicely and have guys from last years team that were behind state placers. They will still have the best lightweights in the conference earning them bonus. Carrollton gets my bid, but I think we can expect a team score in the 30’s for both squads with the dual ultimately decided by bonus points. Salem lost a few seniors but should have the best mid weights in the conference to boost them. Marlington and Minerva should battle for 3/4. Minerva has a new HC. Both teams lost reputable seniors with SQ resumes. West Branch and Alliance should take the 5/6 spots and lean towards Alliance higher on the ladder. Alliance had a very nice post season run but will be without two of their four state qualifiers including their State Champ in Mozden. Should be an exciting dual season as the conference is not as one sided as it has been in recent years.
 
was at the lake duals Carrpllton went 4-0, Marlington was 1-3, the two schools did not wrestle each other, Marlington may have been 2-2

Did Mozden even wrestle in a dual last year? I thought he made his come back from the football injury closer to sectionals.
 
So Marlington and Carrollton were at the Lake duals this weekend. Did any of the other teams wrestle and how did they do if so?
Minerva was at Cambridge and placed 11th out of 16. They did not enter a 120 or 126.

Salem was at Madison and placed 1st out of 10. They entered a full roster.

West Branch was at Beachwood and got 4th out of 23. They did not enter a 106.

Can not find anything that Alliance has wrestled yet.

I'm a little late on this post and this definitely pre-dates the E.B.C., however, it is worth sharing.

Longtime Marlington Head Wrestling Coach and Athletic Director Bob Hinchliffe passed away on Dec. 28th. He retired from teaching and coaching at Marlington in 1994. I was fortunate enough to coach with him for one year. His last year at Marlington was my first year at Marlington.
