132 will be fun -- Messerall has stepped up his game and I think he will win as well. Scott has been hurt, but not sure how serious. I think he started the year at 26 with Bankes at 32, so he might be small here. However, if he gets by the solid Taranto, I think he matches up well with McGrath and will advance to finals. That said, nothing against McGrath but I like Taranto and could see him pulling the upset if he beats Scott. If Scott does lose to Taranto, i think he beats Barnes in the wrestle backs. I'm pretty sure these two wrestled last year a couple times with Scott winning both times.
Agree on 145 -- I could see those four finishing in any order here. All of these kids are excellent. Hammond could definitely win his semi and while Driscoll has struggled with injuries and seems to still be playing catch up from last year when he was much smaller, he could also advance to finals. This would be a great weight to watch.
160 should feature a good final between wooden and the pick central wrestler. After that, this is the biggest toss up of the sectional in my opinion. I do think King will edge Thompkins both in the champ bracket and in the 3/4 match, though.
