Fisher will be a nice addition next year but I don't think he would have helped this year. His projected weight this year would have put him somewhere between 132 and 145... FRHS had 3 finalist and a champion in those weight classes....

Ghouse, Do you think it is likely that both Murphy and Chalifoux move to 113 for the 2013/2014 high school campaign?

Cameron Croy should be on the list.

Here are a few reasons... 1) Ryan only graduates for seniors 2) The bench is extremely deep with talent 3) Eli King- you heard it here first... Eli will not lose to a TN competitor in high school The Irish are the clear favorites going into next season irrespective of the finish this year.

It looks like Baylor's chances of a traditional title have been greatly reduced without the opportunity to score any points at 120, or 145.... No entires that I can see at these weights....

Even if some latitude was given to Oliver, what about Baker? His match was early in the contest...

I have to agree with rasslinlite here... It did appear at the two wrestlers mentioned did not extend their hand as the other 12 did... This is simple case of lack of consistency and the cb coaches should communicate the expectations for the team as a whole.... If the coaches feel the wrestlers should not shake the hands of the opposing coaches at the conclusion of the individual match that is fine, however, why do some shake and others do not?... Teams should follow the same protocol. This would eliminate the perception that some are less sportsmanlike than others... Just my opinion....

While in a perfect world, endless combinations of head to head results would be ideal to determine rankings. Unfortunately, that is not practical and criteria is the next best thing. I have watched GHouse rankings closely over the years and he is consistently fair and his justifications are rationale.

Dca44, That's a bold statement... You may be right, however, it looks like two very good D2 wrestlers should also be considered as the best in the state... Pierce Olson, and Ryan Simpson. In fact, Simpson won the Ryan Invitational, and Olson was second in a close match to Marchetti at 145... Barrel

I don't believe the team is selected until after the state individual tournament.

Does anyone know if this dual will be streamed over the Internet? If so, pls post the link. Thanks. Barrel

I believe you have to make a strong argument for Brunner and Popp for at least honorable mention. Brunner- places in powerade ( Ghouse will substantiate that this a top 4/5 national tournament. Wins prep slam. Only blemish is defeat from freshman phenom Diaz from Georgia at the McCallie. Popp- same logic as above. Ghouse- pls weigh in. Barrel

Does anyone have a list of the teams competing at this weekends tournament? I know Baylor, McCallie, Father Ryan, and MBA are all attending....

Stevens from SD was OW for lower weights at 120...a few Champions from memory... 106 not sure Murphy lost in finals, 113 not sure, 120 Stevens, 126 Dodgeon Pigeon Forge, 132 Brunner, 138 Simpson, 145 Marchetti, 160 Womack, 170 Baylor ...

Ghouse, I know there may be some additional weight movements, however, at this point in the game would you agree that D2 132 is shaping up to be the toughest weight class? Brunner is the clear favorite and you have two other State Champions in that class with Connell and Akers.
