Toss The Bears and Huskies in the draw with the chipps, bobcats upper tier guys/gals, and Hillsdale and Smithville studs...Dalton has a few noise makers.......Its The Huskies Title to lose....the Bears are looking to Drive for 5.
hmmm

Norwayne, Chippewa, Dalton, Hillsdale have some pretty good middlewights.. Smithville have the higher weights. Huskies are solid throughout, and Bears are deep but young.
Aside from Huskies/Bears, you have names like Britton, Hall, Morris, Genet, Grier, Moore, Everett, Studer, Hall, Vogelhuber, Heldenbrand, Johnson, Bramley, Finley, Rohrbaugh, Cline, Lance, Hall, Hilty, Lehman, Hilty, Eisenhauer, Badertscher, Wiley, Scrock, Kelby and Worman.
Those kids could very well win their weight classes and/or knock off Bears/Huskies for placement matches.
Realistically...i see a few Bears and Huskies Titles that are possible...but about the only Given is Scheafer....perhaps Beam as well.
103 is light in competitors...whoever shows up to wrestle...
112 Britton/ Harter with Hall and Gregan factoring in???? (possible Bears/Huskies head to head)
119 Berry/Genet???
125 Grier/Stanley
130 Fortune/Moore, with Wardell and Everett looking for a title
135 Vogelhuber/Studer
140 Hershey/Heldenbrand
145 Stanley/Topp with Bramley always a gamer (possible Bears/Huskies head to head)
152 Beam/Finley (Black and Rohrbaugh(ranked in brakeman)
160 Lance/Orr/Meek (possible Bears/Huskies head to head)
171 Hall/Hilty
189 Scheafer/Hilty/Eisenhauer (Scheafer wins here..the question is 2nd place and what weight Scheafer goes)
215 Scheafer/Badertscher/Wiley/Cleaver (Scheafer wins here, the question is 2nd place and what weight Scheafer goes)
285 Scrock/Kelby with freshman Workman looking to make noise.
With this outlook, The finalist im predicting, i have NWN and Waynedale with 1/2 at 160 due to my lack of knowledge on seeding and not including 103..I also have Scheafer at 215.
Finalist
NWN 5.5 (160 in question)
Chipp 5
Way 4.5 (160 in question)
Nor 4
Hills 3
Smith 3
Dalton 1
Perhaps a donnybrook by my calculations, ii havent bracketbusted or tallied points.....anyone with a better outlook...jump on it.
Possibly only 2-3 Bear/ Husky head to head finals
pretty close here...

right on the money..if cleaver gets pined instead of pinning, Norwayne my jump to 2nd. T
The Huskies wrestled very well. It was their time. The race between Bears, Bobcats and Chipps was spot on... Bears 132, Cats 122.5? and CHIPPS 118? 122?
So with the huskies at 195? Beast was NOT sandbagging....but actually pretty darn close. Myagi sandbagger. Pretty uneventful tournament. Things went as they should....some biased...but definately toned down from past few years. Nice speaking with/meeting a few of you chatterers.....
Now if I could only get Red Rum, Myagi and toothbrush to come forward. Perhaps sectionals over a bowl of broccoli chesse soup??
Congrats Huskies, Coach Hershey COY, and of course Logan Hershey for MVW
