OK my long awaited ridiculous predictions of the finals in the state tourney.
103 Martin 12-2 Elam (Martin will dominate anyone left at 103)
112 Sullivan 6-3 Carr
119 Wood 4-2 Parks (I know an upset, but I think he will be ready at state)
125 Voth 8-4 Vincent
130 Eck 10-1 Brown
135 Warner 14-2 Stewart (Warner walks through this class)
140 Peace 8-2 Jackson (Peace is an animal)
145 Thuenerman 4-3 Courtney (Thuenermans time)
152 Cooper 10-2 Banks (Cooper is unbelievable)
160 Wolsiefer Pin Choate (Wolsiefer will be extremely focused at state)
171 Reid 4-0 Rupp (The one wt. class I am totally guessing at)
189 Jones 6-4 Starks (Another upset call)
215 Watson 3-1 Green (Watson is the best at this wt. class when he is on)
Hwt Burdin 4-2 Young (No Bird??? yes you heard it here first)
These are just my picks many of them are just gut feelings and I have no other reason to believe it.
There is no malice or grudges just gut picks.
Nice picks grappler. Not too safe and not too crazy.
A few comments/questions:
103 you are picking Elam to get the win over Bradbury (opposite Martin as they are in same region)
112 99% will be picking this way
119 I like the pick, but just haven't seen if Wood is back to the Wood of old
125 picking Vinsant over Lewis, very possible
130 I think it is Eck vs. whoever is on the other side between (region 6 Brown/Shotwell) and Ervin
135 Warner against whoever gets the good draw on the other side
140 check
145 I still like Courtney, been there done that, while Thueneman still has to show he can step it up
152 check
160 check
171 Reid is the man here
189 good pick, will Starks be rested or rusty from his time off the mat?
215 like 119 really tough to call, depends on who shows up all 3 days
285 Young will need to step it up big time, seems he has been slumping, I like Byrd and Fuller
