106
Consi Semi1: Jordan over Mokros
1st Place: Krysty over Havens
The last two spots look wide open!
-I also like Jordan to get out. Id take Havens over Krysty though.
Food for thought though, should Krysty win, does this put him into title contention? Already a threat to place imo.
120
Consi Semi1: Walls over Parks (I have Parks wrestling all the way back)
This weight could go VERY DIFFERENTLY!
-No kidding.
Id say the favorite is as close to a lock as you are going to get at this weight. 2-4 completely up in the air. Super interesting weight to watch. Not certain how much success we will have here as a district next week. I think that at least 1 state qualifier will emerge from match number 019, could be the winner or the loser.
126
QF3: Spurgeon over Gardner
QF4: Cerny over Agin
SFT: Ayoub over Cernus
SFB: Cerny over Spurgeon
Consi Semi1: Cernus over Agin
Consi Semi2: Spurgeon over Fowler (I have Fowler wrestling all the way back)
1st Place: Ayoub over Cerny
3rd Place: Cernus over Spurgeon
-Seems every few years something like this happens and there is an uproar that the draw system should be overhauled. I do not like this take. Should both Cernus and Ayoub win their final match (1st, 3rd), which I am 99% sure they will, they will be separated at the state level. Which is what their eyes are on anyway. Which is more important, a District title, or state title? Just ask Ty Wilson and Coach Huddle (They'd tell you they want to win it all, I'm sure.).
I like Cernus to win here. I am SUPER interested to see what happens in the bottom bracket. There is potential for tons of controversy. Insane weight.
138
QF2: Speakman over Sferrella (WIDE OPEN QTR)
QF3: Boothby over Witt
Consi Semi1: Witt over Speakman
Consi Semi2: Boothby over Numan
-In truth I was not too excited about this weight, but between last week and now looking at the bracket I am really interested.
If you told me Giordano, Speakman, or Sferrella made the Semi Final I would not be shocked. I actually like Witt over Boothby to make the bottom semi.
The go-to matches at this weight will be ultra-competitive. I have Speakman v Boothby, and Sferrella vs Witt. (Sferrella v Numan in the previous round - whew).
I'll take Boothby, and Sferrella to qualify.
157
QF1: Euton over Henderson
Consi Semi1: Halliday over Sauter (I have Sauter wrestling all the way back)
Consi Semi2: Goffin over Henderson
-I actually have Sauter making the Qtr, losing to Euton, then coming back to place.
I Also have Will over Goffin. Goffin/Sauter to go. I have Goffin winning.
Unfortunate bracketing here, because I do think Halliday could be a finalist if not for Euton.
Dropping down I think Halliday faces Henderson/Carl to go. I went with Henderson, who I then have losing to Halliday to go.
In the end you have Euton, Will, Halliday, and Goffin advancing to State.
There are a few more I might go through. We'll see!
