BuzzBomb...If you don't mind me asking, what's the reasoning behind Terry slipping to #4? He's 29-4, only Boyd has fewer losses. He's one of three returning State qualifiers in the bracket and went 1-2at The Schott (just like Boyd and Strope). Is it a little Central Ohio bias or have you seen him and think his skills are a step below the Columbus wrestlers? Brakeman has him five spots behind Boyd, but Brakeman has Boyd three spots behind Strope, and we all see how that went last weekend. It would seem to me that the Strope/Terry quarter will be one of the highlight matches Friday night.
I'm also interested to see McDougle/Longwell in the quarters.
I haven't seen Boyd wrestle, but from everything I've heard it sounds like most people have him up at 1 or 2 here so that's where I'll go.
I've seen Strope Terry and Morehart all at the Porter.
Strope looked the best out of those three beating Terry in the finals 10-5.(I actully thought the best looking kid that day was the frosh from Ole McHugh). Morehart only lost 6-3 to Terry in the semis. So unless it was just an off day for Terry that's how I'm basing it on. H2H. That doesn't mean things can't change in rematches though. I haven't seen Mcdougal this yr but saw him alot last yr in MS and he is very tough.
Timchenko is the real deal, I thought Longwell could beat him at the Sectional final but it didn't happen.
Don't give up on Longwell though. He could pull the surprise as I really haven't seen anyone give him much of a shot.
