AAA State Duals Predictions!

[FargoStrut]

I'm saying Butler and Knott for sure will win. Those two "will have to stick their opponents". Desselle should win as well and they need bonus pts from him too.

you think zach thomas loses at 106..? Mullin beats Klingensmith at 126? I think 5 is a definite. With possibility of 1 or 2 more. They just need to show up and score bonus points

[FargoStrut]

No, I think Thomas wins at 106. Actually I think he "may" have the best possibility of scoring 6 for them. I think Klingensmith should win as well. That being said, I don't see enough "five and sixes" for them to pull it off. IMO, they could win 7 or 8 matches and still get beat by close to 10. Its gonna depend on which kids are moved where and how they wrestle when Friday rolls around.

this is on point to what ive been saying. They can get anywhere from 5-7 wins but its gonna depend on if they can get bonus points and not give up binus points to make it close.

I agree Bump that Summit can win several matches. Probably more than most people realize. I think they match up well with Cleveland in the smaller and middle weights but I don't believe they will be able to score enough bonus points there to offset the bonus points Cleveland scores from 82 up, not counting what Bowers, Pond, and Landers get them.

Would love to see a rematch of Cleveland vs Bradley. My pick is Bradley. Coach Smith knows what he is doing to get those Bears ready for the state tournament. Cannot wait to see how each team performs. I see Bradley going home with number 25.

[Bump11]

Im sure we would all enjoy a Cleveland-Bradley 3. But here's to the underdogs in hopes that someone can play spoiler

Lets keep this thread going. Who are the teams to watch for? Who are the leading dogs? Ok maybe the second question is kind of obvious. But anyways, lets keep this one up!

I'm thinking the real race is for third place

Haven't seen a whole lot of wrestling this year, especially teams from outside my area, still thought I would make a bracket though just from what I have seen, read, or heard about over the course of the year.  Please let me know if this could be close, and if not, where am I wrong and why.

[Da Bears]

My hopes for the Duals:

 

1. No one is injured. 

2. Good sportsmanship by all wrestlers, coaches and fans.

3. Good weather

4. And that guy  is cooking those sugar glazed pecans again this year.

 

Upsets are always possible.

 

If Cleveland and Bradley meet again in the finals, my prediction is "who knows". Bonus points will make the difference.  These two teams are both very talented. 

 

My suggestion is don't leave early.

Consolations Round 2:

Science Hill over Mt. Juliet

Halls over Summit

Heritage over Gibbs

Arlington over Blackman

 

Consolations Rounds 3 4 and 5:

Halls over Science Hill

Heritage over Arlington

 

 

Two big wins for Halls there.

 

Also, another first round match that people are overlooking is Indy vs Blackman. That should be just as fun as Arlington vs Science Hill
