State Duals - Pick 'em

[Bump11]

FWIW, Arlington beat Bartlett 50-18 last night. 12 of the 18 pts were forfeits...

this is correct but at the time if this post, Bartlett had beaten Arlington and didnt have any bad losses

thank you. Like i said i was going out on a limb on some. Never said how long of a limb it would be! I just think that Tennessee at 100% can push anyone to their limit.

U still think Tennessee can beat Cleveland or Bradley? Did u see how bad Cleveland beat science hill?

[mrfixalot49]

Tn will get hammered by Cleveland or Bradley.

Worst officiated match I have seen, period! On that note Science Hill came out and wrestled their butts off, so that first comment is to take nothing away from those kids. A few calls in the favor of THS and you have a different result. But as I've always said you should never be in a position to where the ref can decide anything. Oh by the way go ahead and write THS off, a lot of people must have short memories and obviously forgotten what they accomplished last year.

Will THS be able to win more than 4 individual matches in a dual with Cleveland or Bradley if they wrestle all of their starters?  Winning 4 matches would be 29% which to me is not a very good performance.

That's the beauty of this sport, you never know till you step on the mat. Did anyone expect Hicks to drop a match to Bowers? I would guess not. I'm definitely not saying THS would beat either team, just simply stating that the potential exists for it. To answer your question, who knows until they square off. Science Hill is no slouch, granted they have lost to both Bradley and Cleveland, all we really have to go off is the past and what's on paper. I definitely agree that winning 4 matches won't cut the mustard. I honestly feel that THS unfortunately had a really bad off night, better now than down the road.

Our heavier weights, most teams has a shot at us. Just the way it is this year.

Most teams struggle with having really strong wrestlers in the upper weight classifications.  Frequently those kids are multi sport athletes (football, baseball, rugby, etc...) and do not focus on wrestling like the kids in the lower weights.  Even for the very best athletes it's difficult to be really good at a sport when you only focus on it for 3 months per year.  Personally I wish that all kids were multi sport athletes in high school.  It just seems to make them more well rounded both athletically and socially.
