State pick'em

Topic ID: 51337 | 3 Posts

Pick state finals, I'll start...

106- Waffle over Corbett (I could see the 8th grader winning it after a close match in the region finals.)

113- Wells over Gipson (Wells should cruise at this weight. I think it comes down to vowels and gipson on the top. Gipson has looked good at 113 and I think he gets vowels with his size.

120- Davis over Wasson (Davis has at least majored everyone at 120 this year and I can't see him losing to Valera. But who knows, with no #1 ranking next to his name this year, maybe Valera pulls the upset. It's a 3 man race on the top between Wasson, Delos Santos, and Koller. Wasson has looked great since dropping to 120 and I see him taking out either the 113 state champ or 106 runner up from last year.)

126- Kimery over Cornwell (Total cinderella pick. This has been an interesting weight all year. Kimery didn't have a good weekend at regionals but I think he has a decent draw and could make a deep run.)

132- Raney over McClokskey (Pretty much a 2 horse race.)

138- Raney over Evans (Same as 132)

144- Meyer over Roberts (Roberts has an easier path to the finals than everyone at the weight. Tj and Dennis have wrestled a few close matches and I see Tj pulling it out in another 1 takedown match. Tj gets his first title.)

150- Birk over Johns (I'm taking the defending state Champ in the highly anticipated quarterfinal rematch with Jenkins. Birk is the more complete wrestler.)

157- Trumble over Shaddix (Trumble is the clear #1 barring a Thompson upset. The bottom side is up for grabs.)

165- Brown over Matney (Not a ton to go based on other than previous years for Matney. Brown should run through the weight.)

175- Ricketts over Mccourt (Mccourt didn't wrestle last year, by i anticipated a strong return for him. Ricketts runs through the weight.)

190- Vinson over Wilson (I don't know a ton about the upper weights, but Vinson pulled it out over #1 last weekend. Seth Davis could also make a finals run.)

215- Marcus James over Hyden (Im taking M. James over J. James. Marcus has looked good all year, but I could easily see Jack making another finals run as well.)

HWT- Cummings over Roth (Once again, i dont know much about this weight.)
