So.....as usual, Bucksman gives very little credit on a statewide basis to Darby. Unfortunately, most of the numbers tend to back him up. Where is he right.....where is he wrong? What weights does he have wrong? How are things going to shake out from 152-170 with Lancaster?

Thoughts?

Brown (WC) is now going 160. Not Bucksman's fault on that one. Also, Marysville kid (Rine???) just beat Olentangy 220. Rather recent to expect a change on this forecast though.

ps: not sure anyone noticed but that's 4 O. Lib finalists... Anyone remember my typed soliloquy on this matter just a few weeks back. I don't think they can beat Marysville (sorry, monarchpride) but a top 3 finish is possible.

You have to like Olentangy, H. Davidson and Lancaster to be high on the board as well. Teays Valley has its share of point scorers too. CC has a trio of competitors, and so does DC, WN, PC, MV and PN.

Spots 5 through 15 look like they'll be seperated by 12 to 17 points.

And I for one can't wait!

Thanks Dad4Sports- Omission of Sparks MV @ 113

Thanks for the help...I fixed it

Does Nick Wilson (285) from Pick C have a shot to break into the top 4 here?

without a doubt

Heard Miller will be going 52. Also flop the 2 Coffman kids at 52 and 60 as thats how they went vs Darby.
We also know that Boswell made the drop along with Hammons at 32 and 26.
Who else?

Im shocked johnston 138 from Bradley is not in the seeing as how bosewell dropped and he seemed to handle . Kasee McDougle, Gahanna Lincoln early in the year... just surprised he is not predicted

Wrestlingman101: that's the tricky thing about state-wide rankings. Sometimes the view is so wide it misses the lite things.

I have no problem with Johnston in the top 6 come late Feb.

I even see him at 3 or 4

I believe Bucksman made these predictions in the 3rd week of Jan....Boswell had not dropped at that time. You're right though....Bucksman maybe is overlooking a couple of the kids that were D2 last year and are now moving into the Darby District.

Some rumblings of weight class shifts from some of the heavy hitters? We'll know Wednesday night......
