Some brackets are extremely loaded others are relatively "easier" in comparison (although nothing in this sport is actually easy). There were 5-6 classes where picking people was just throwing darts. As always anything can happen.

My only change would be at 126 I think Brad Krebs makes it to the Semis.  He looked like he was healthy and ready to roll this weekend forfeit in the finals a little unsure of the reason but if he wrestles like his region matches he will be in the semis.  Already has a win over Burroughs from North Hardin.

He definitely could, no doubt about it. That was a tough 8 man bracket both top guys have had a myriad of health issues and I truly hope they are both healthy and ready to compete for the state title.

Won't Hudson-Andreoni meet in Quarters?

Oops semis my bad.

I believe that they will however Andrew Bailey, Jack Dorne and Chris Morrow, Dylan Gray etc... might have something to say.

in the 195's I like Miller from SK to beat Miozza. Dodd vs Miller in finals

What do u think about Steiner vs binder, Who wins?

Last year someone posted a thread to pick the winners of each weight class if I recall

Bindner by pin or tech.

That being said i really like steiner. Very good wrestler.

Bindner is good but seriously!  I saw that he was pinned by a low rank 138 pounder at state duals.

Either way I think it will be a good match

I agree this whole bracket and a few others is not stop action from the first whistle blow!

Smith vs Duncan in quarters? Smith got a worse seeding than Steiner and he pinned Steiner at regionals! But who wins between Duncan vs Smith? I am leaning to smith because he is a dominate freshman!

Guys get caught. Which is exactly what happened. Bindner was winning handedly before he go caught in a scramble situation. so seriously yeah!

Not to mention he was bumped up. Mason smith wrestled Chaffee in the semis this past weekend. smith had him near teched. Relaxed for a sec and found himself on his back as time ran out. If he was pinned would you say "mason smith is good but I saw him almost get pinned by clint Chaffee"? Come on dude. Think before you speak.

Coach Roth, theres your match !!!!!!The pin is coming ,name the period and score get your 50 ready!

Pin is dead on here too...Bindner and Smith are on a different planet from a talent perspective.  I would pay $20 to watch just this single match.  I think it is a close match...UTB ride out.  Not calling a winner either.   :D

That "low rank guy" out pointed him summer before last in a freestyle tourney at Center Grove. Then lost a match earlier in the season by a whopping 2 points after leading into the 3rd.

While I agree that it was Binder just "getting caught" at state duals, give the other kid a little credit. I mean since they hit high school the "low rank" guy is 2-1 against him.

The "low rank" guy also pinned Smith at the Rumble this year also. Just sayin'

I thought it was 4-4 when he got caught , is that it right

4-2, but in fairness, Binder scored two takedowns and gave up the 2 by going neutral on the restart twice.

Kid hit a nice post high c I think, and they went to a scramble. It happens.

I'm just giving him crap, because we are buds.

Low ranked guy took bender down to his back,  making it 4-4 before he got stuck.  Low ranked guy is 9th but has several big wins.

Not how it happened. The match wasnt even competitive before hand.

That's what I saw

I never said anything about Dallas being ranked low and I think he's a great wrestler. But in this particular match regardless of the score it looked as if the Bindner was going to win.

I know, it was another poster that threw in the "low ranked" guy comment. Sounded like a slap at both of them.

I agree on the match. Looked as if it was not in the cards that day. AJ was in control until the end.

You know I got much love for ya Binder.

We didn't mean to hijack the topic. Let's get back to the Semifinal predictions.

I don't think that low ranked guy thing aplies at 138 because there are 10 to 12 guys in that bracket that could win it and that so called low ranked guy is 1 of them.If you saw AJ wrestle sphar and miles the matches look similar AJ won the sphar match with take downs and had the upper hand on miles with take downs but miles is very dangerous in scrambles and Aj knows it so i will not let him use the term caught in that match because he knows in advance what to be aware of and he shouldn't have been caught off gaurd.If it was the first time they had ever wrestled,then yes i could see this happening.Miles will be very hard to predict for state because at any time he is subject to get in a scramble and pin someone.Aj has wrestled most of the kids at 38 and miles defiantly ranks right there with all them

Didn't see any of it, but I don't see how anybody could consider any top 15 ranked 138 this year to be 'low ranked'.  I feel confident in only 3 making the podium (Vasquez, Spahr, Johnson....not necessarily in order).  Beyond that it really is pretty wide open.  It is going to come down to style, match ups, luck, etc.

Vasquez, Miller, Johnson, and Spahr not in ant sequence. They have all been great this season.
