WHO'S THE BEST REGION

[TJantioch135]

What region is the best heading to the state tournament??????

[coachknepper]

Here are my predictions for Weight Class Winners by weight class at the State Tournament...

 

Region 3 -- 6 champions

Region 5 -- 5 champions

Region 6 -- 2 champions

Region 4 -- possiblity of 1 champion (Lewis)

Region 7 -- possiblity of 1 champion (Shepherd)

 

Based soley on that, Region 3 would be tops soley off the backs of Bradley Central and Greenback. Region 5 as a WHOLE may be better due to the strong top-tier wrestlers brought by Cookeville, Mt. Juliet, Tullahoma, Blackman, Warren County, and Siegel (all with potential state winners).

Here are my predictions for Weight Class Winners by weight class at the State Tournament...

 

Region 3 -- 6 or 7 champions

Region 5 -- 5 champions

Region 6 -- 2 champions

Region 7 -- possiblity of 1 champion

 

Based soley on that, Region 3 would be tops soley off the backs of Bradley Central and Greenback. Region 5 as a WHOLE may be better due to the strong top-tier wrestlers brought by Cookeville, Mt. Juliet, Tullahoma, Blackman, Warren County, and Siegel (all with potential state winners).

 

Are you overlooking Cleveland, or meaning Bradley County to cover Central, Walker Valley and Cleveland?

Region 4 may have at least one champ at 125, possibly another at 119.

 

I think R3 will have more medalists than any other region, but we will see Saturday evening.

Yes--my bad for overlooking Cleveland (Marvin Lopez) and Walker Valley--although Simpson will have Cameron Croy in Round 2...and Dylan Mills will see Hunter Allen in Round 2 as well as Tyler Dailey (Greenback) vs. Taylor Bain in Round 2. I also made a mistake at 125--thought Soddy Daisy was Region 3...my bad...so the prediction should be 6 winners for Region 3.

 

My predictions for finals matchups with Region in parentheses....

 

103 Brunner (R5) vs. Oliver (R3)

112 Thomas (R6) vs. Maxwell (R2)

119 Hames (R3) vs. Boone (R4)

125 Lewis (R4) vs. Shepherd (R7)

130 Lopez (R3) vs. Seaman (R5)

135 Penson (R8) vs. Herron (R3)

140 Herold (R1) vs. Colbaugh (R3)

145 Cox (R6) vs. Miller (R3)

152 Aguilar (R3) vs. Lilley (R8)

160 Colbert (R6) vs. E. Henry (R5)

171 Proctor (R5) vs. Saunders (R5)

189 Kennedy (R5) vs. Salada (R5)

215 Croy (R6) vs. Bolton (R3)

285 Allen (R5) vs. Bain (R5)

 

So in finals (just my predictions): Region 5 (9), Region 3 (8), Region 6 (4), Region 8 (2), Region 4 (2), Region 2 (1), Region 7 (1), Region 1 (1)
