Super pumped for the post season to start tonight!

SK wins the team title by 20 points in my opinion.  DH, WV, and Cooper will be battling for the runner-up trophy, as I am estimating a very close seperation of these three teams (+/- 5 points).  I believe the seeding holds true for the  majority of the weight classes.  However, I am going with Holub (138) and Bailey (195) from Cooper to outperfrom their 2nd seed position and be Regional Champions.  I modeled the seeding progression from a production perspective (only going out to 4th place) and awared the max points a wrestler could potentially earn for the championship rounds, while entering just placement points in the consi rounds to generate a point total.  With this assumption, SK starts the tournament with at least 171 points, WV and Cooper 147 points, and DH with 145 points.  Here are my predictions for the individual weight classes and the number of State Qualifiers from each school.

That was a pretty good breakdown.  I also believe that the team race will be close all the way to the end. 

I would say that most of the picks you made look reasonable.  However, I could see 106,113,120,132,160,170, 220, and 285 going slightly different 1-4.  I see a bunch of coin flip matches that could go either way.  

Good luck to Cody and your team.  Should be a great weekend of wrestling!!!!

Cooper at 106? And hasn't Dixie 138 already beat holub handily two times?

You missed a couple of Scott's seeded wrestlers.  Scott has the 3 seed at 120 (Seth Lutes) who is a top 10 kid and has already beaten Cooper and SK's 120, and the 2 seed at 220 Nathan Justice who has wins over everyone but Dixie's 220.  By seeding, Scott should send 8 to State, and should be in the mix for regional titles at 106, 145, and 195 (which is a mess, as all the top 4 have taken turns beating each other...any of those four could end up as the champ).  Scott will definitely be in the mix with the other schools you mentioned.

Your state qualifier totals are a little off. Should add up to 56 total. But good job overall, way to throw out some predictions to get people talking. 

Yeah I think you missed a few kids in there boots. Might want to revisit those 1-4 picks. 

Sorry for the math error for the qualifiers.  My apologies on missing Scott's 120 and 220 seeds.  Good luck to everyone tonight.

Well...let's just say that I am in Operations for a reason...better leave the forecasting tools to the smart folks!  I owe you that Coke Dutch

Man, what a tourney so far.  SK is rolling...WV is rolling as well.  There is 1/2 point separating these teams.  SK with 9 in the Championship Semi's, WV with 8.  106 and 113 are head to head matches with both schools. 120 has both teams in the mix, SK on the side of CC (1 seed).  126 WV, 132 SK, 138 SK, 145 SK, 152 both teams here, SK on the side of Cooper (1 seed), 160 WV, 170 both schools here, 182 SK, then at 285 WV.  The remaining teams and the number of wrestlers as semi-finalists are below:

Looking forward to some excellent matches tomorrow.  I think WV will advance 7 to the Championship Finals and SK will advance 5.

I do not think Simon Kenton is alone at the top Walton Verona has beaten them in tournaments this year and did better against shared comp in Duals and have had the lead in this tournament numerous times already.

Walton Verona in first  ahead of Simon Kenton by 51.5 points currently it appears as if Walton Verona will run away with reg 6 by a LARGE margin.

Ruber Walton Verona 285 with a pin in semis adding to their lead.

WV 186.5

SK 139

Scott 120

Followed by Dixie and Campbell County .

WV 193.5 

SK 142

WV 193.5

SK 161

Noah Duke into the finals wrestling the 4 seeded Jones from Newport.

WV 193.5

SK 179

SK closing the gap

9.5 points separate WV and SK going into the finals/placement matches. Going down to the wire. 

WV with 7 in finals SK with 4 ADVANTAGE WV but SK with more on the backend consolations ADVANTAGE SK.

Match of the night will beYenter vs Moore.

WV 197.5

SK 188 

At 113

I will predict WV by 6.5 +

Holy molly Wells over Roth 3 to 2 Roth is coming on strong .

Roth has been solid all year long

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. SK took the lead. Could come down to the HWY match. 

Yep SK by 8.5 takes the win Ruber leading in 3rd period people  yelling for pin gets pinned himself ....not smart now he is lower seed at state in a bigger tourney where in circumstances where WV has beaten SK this year difference being at state theres seeds and qualifiers will now play a bigger factor .I could still see Walton Verona placing higher than SK they should be the second best small school in the state easily but giving up a spot and a seed going for a pin is not the wise choice .

 Then again I would have went for it IF a pin would have won and I'm not sure and do not think WV would have won even if Ruber had pinned in finals, SK had more in consos and WV had a  guy or 3 lose a match they should have won as everyone does  and it's all it took.

Congrats to SK and Cornett in particular he's a stud and a great rep for KY .

WV Will be pretty stacked next yr with at least 3 serious title contenders and with SK losing a couple and Ryle and Campbell County in rebuilding stages as well as losing some studs next yr will look much the same except WV will have more Champs than they did this year I would guess double than what they had this year.

Sad seing some studs on Campbell County's  team being let down by some of their teammates who underperform most likely do to not following the example of Wells and Yenter  and those that came before them makes you wonder what they were doing the last few years while everyone else was working hard all year .

match of the day was not Moore vs Yenter but Wells vs Roth.

I would guess Cornet is OWS.

My thoughts on the region 6 tournament. Standouts.

106 Pye: I see a kid that has the physic and athleticism to be a state champ.  He thoroughly impressed me. I will be following him closely at state.

120: very even match with Wells and Roth.  Roth has the potential to get to the finals.  Wells looks to be ready to cash in as well and finally win a state championship.

126: Moore & yenter: both very even.  I saw a takedown and near fall not called.  Want to see this match up again.

145: noah duke: impressed.  He reminds me of another talented middle schooler who won a regional championship.  Though I thought 145 was quite week in this region.  I will be anxious to see if he can handle the pressure of the hs state atmosphere.  Can the young gun place when the pressure is on.

152: cody huston: haven't seen a more sound wrestler technically than him this year in any weight class.  Brown and smallwood better bring it at state.

160: masons a beast.  Can't wait to see him dominate at state.

170: cornett: congrats to Casey.  I think he's a 2 timer.

You thought! 

Lol yes  I actually know how to read a bracket thought WV would win they have done better against shared comp and beaten SK in tournaments with about ohh 7 or 8 xs as many teams like uh state but it may be hard at state going in with less numbers showing again how coming from a tough reg makes it hard to win state for teams from reg 6 and easy for well  union

Hardly  I'm a huge Union fan everyone knows it and can read it in my posts but let's be real also they benefit from a reg that has weaker comp that allows them to get more wrestlers to State with better seeds they are a great team the best I have seen in KY with the exception of one team one year in the last few yrs but if they were in reg 6 or in Louisville they probably would not have as many state titles as they do .It's an old subject get mad or whatever but it's the truth they would not have the numbers or seeds they have at state if they were in a tougher reg.and numbers do not lie look at state scoring reg to reg

They are the model team no better compliment could be given  but their reg is weak.

Wow have things changed. 

The mighty has fallen.

Campbell only takes 4 to the state tourney the least since 1987 when they had no qualifiers do to Semi-State, and do not qualify for State duals

Ryle takes only 5 combines with last years 4 qualifiers is the least since. 2000. 

Pretty sure I heard Camels had five guys ruled out for state duals qualifier day off tourney due to skin issues and some unqualified medical professionals (aka referees) over ruling doctors notes.

And every one is entitled to a down year every thirty years or so.
