CHAMP MATCHES
112: Brian Luria(Mason) pin Kevin Leonhardt(Lak. West) 0:30
Anyone know why Kowal did not wrestle?
Home sick most of the week with a bad case of the flu.
Hope he is feeling better and ready to finish strong[/QUOT.
Dito.
Healthy, I believe he makes the trip to Columbus and has an excellent showing.
Ramirez will not win @ 89. He was beat Thursday night by Ray from East. Ray had some setbacks early but I think he is gonna surprise quite a few folks.

Curious as to how the Coach of the Year is determined.
No disrespect to Coach Lehman but his team finished in 4th place and by almost 100 points to the winning team.
Here's my overview of the tourney...
103- Victoria (Mas) is on a roll here... barden (FF), Daly (LE), & Victoria all have a chance at making it out with victoria being a pretty sure lock while the other 2 are ?'s
112- Kowal (PRI) not wrestling changes this weight class.. heard he backed out because he was sick which is perfectly fine to get healthy with before sectionals... but made 112 weight class a lot easier with Luria (MAS) completely dominating all
119- the finals match.... WOW Artrip (MAS) up big and Hammer (COE) takes him down in ot to complete the comeback with a cradle in the last 15 seconds to tie it up.. thought it was very disrespectful the boo's for Artrip but hey that's my opinion
125- Selmon (PRI) picks it up at the right time and came out and proved his dominance at this tourney.. Gonzalez (Mas) with a 3-2 squeeker over Day (FF) in semi's.. I personally hope to see that one again
130- Miller (LE) gets a quick takedown and pins Bloch (LW) with 2 seconds left in the first.. honestly was surprised thought Bloch would put something together against Miller
135- Davis (LW) wins outstanding athlete here... thought this could have went to either him or older Sams but was glad to see this young man get his 3rd title.. little Sams afro kills me but has proven to close the gap when comes to wrestlers often amount of times (ie. Campbell (AND) and Sams last year)
140- absolute bear of a weight class... never would have forcasted Davis (MID) beating McIntyre (MAS) by a score of 15-5 very impressive win... Sams (FF) beating Allen with such ease 11-4 was a surprise as well.. finals was kind of a sleeper but could see Sams and Davis facing off 2 more times @ sectionals and districts finals... another point I believe if McIntyre performs like he did this weekend he may have some trouble qualifying for the SCHOTT
145- Mescher (MAS) with a 2-0 victory over Neyer (FF) in the finals.. i personally thought it was going to be a little more lopsided but watch out Neyer has proven he can beat quality opponents with victories over Wilder (PRI) and Globke (MID)
152- Eoin Walden (MAS) wins 3-1 impressive but in my opinion one of the weaker weight classes along with 119, 215... Lewis (MID) is an absolute freak of an athlete though
160- this and 140 had to be the toughest weight classes this year.. Bradberry (LW) wins it all beating Aaron Walden (MAS) 10-6... I'm looking for Bradberry to make a deep postseason run this time of year
171- Estes (LW) wins by pin after being down 3-0 to Suess (MAS)... Estes another wrestler who I don't think shined as bright as he did at Coaches.. heard he has been out so let's see if he can get things back on track
189- Ray (LE) beat Mather (SYC) in a tight one 4-3.. was surprised Ramirez (HAM) looked so sluggish on the mat... Ray and Mather both may have a shot at making it to the Schott with any luck
215- Andriot (OH) walks through the tourney with a 9-1 major decision over Sandy (FF) in the finals... Andriot looks to be hitting on all strides... no one else in this tournament could hang with him on Saturday
285- Jackson (HAM) also had a tremendous weekend winning 9-2 in the finals... I definitely see him making it out of districts the only question is with what place?.... also was surprised to see Meyers (MAS) pinned Bowman (LE) in the semis
Team race
1. Mason- ran away with the tournament with 4 champs and 8 finalists
2. Lakota West- did what i thought they would with their 3 hammers winning and Bloch taking 2nd... will be the #1 team from the GMC's at state
3. Fairfield- was surprised with only 4 finalists, thought that day and lauffer may have made it into the finals as well
4. Lakota East- after an impressive dual season, now comes time to where we all thought they would struggle... tournament time... Miller, Ray, Daly all had moments of things clicking besides that the rest will not do so hot at sectionals/ districts
5. Middletown- rode the coat tails of Globkes, Davis, and Lewis
6. Colerain- consisted of Hammer and Powell , Scales
7. Sycamore- was surprised to see Whitcomb-Dixon at 140 but not much on this team
8. Princeton- rebuilding year had 2 placers
9. Oak Hills- 2 placers as well in Andriot and Fitzpatrick
10. Hamilton- with the addition of Venable could have jumped a few teams but Jackson and Ramirez only placers
GOOD RUNDOWN. I dont think bradberry makes a deep postseason run. IMHO he don't make it out of districts. Middleown with some impressive young wrestlers.
I guess you haven't been paying attention to what East has done all season long? Great finish for East on 4th place, and bringing home 2 champs!! What a year guys, congrats and keep up the hard work!
Suplexer good call on Middletown. They finished middle the road like you predicted. Estes LW is a beast!

This is also coach of the year. Not Coach of the tourney.
Plus Mason did as expected, if anything they may have underachieved (Artrip and McIntyre not winning as examples).

This is also coach of the year. Not Coach of the tourney. I think the coaches voted this way because: Lehman is a class act and people recognize this. Plus Mason did as expected, if anything they may have underachieved (Artrip and McIntyre not winning as examples). And only 13 points seperated the next three teams and if you go by the total body of work this year, East beat both Fairfield and West heads up. I think East may have done the most with the least amount of talent coming into this season and I think a lot of coaches recognize this. I give Coach Lehman and their staff a lot of credit for what they have started over there....plus he has to put up with Looney Toon so other coaches may have given him the sympathy vote!!!! Many coaches are deserving of this, but you can only give one out.
And I'll steal a line from Jim Rome, "Any time you start out a statement with no disrespect, someone is about to be disrespected!"
Here's my overview of the tourney...
112- Kowal (PRI) not wrestling changes this weight class.. heard he backed out because he was sick which is perfectly fine to get healthy with before sectionals... but made 112 weight class a lot easier with Luria (MAS) completely dominating all
Then again, East appears to have very few returning starters.
