Individual State Predictions -- AAA

[SpartanGuy]

I think people are sleeping on the Summit kids. They could put 8 on the medal stand.

I put 6 there. And i agree there could be a couple more. I had Zach Thomas 2 matches away at 106, losing to Devaney and then eliminated by Isbell. And Nathan Porter at 132 losing to Jalen Henry in the quarters and then eliminated by Chase Brown, also 2 matches from placing.

I think for sure Porter makes it. He majored Jalen this season and beat the kid from Gibbs at the Duals.

Ok, Ok.  By popular request, I'll go ahead and put out my list.  And I realize it will be highly accurate and TSSAA will be tempted to cancel the tournament and use my results, but just so you all don't get too carried away, I think they will still wrestle it out this weekend. 

 

For the record, I'm not against Soddy, you will notice I've picked a few of their wrestlers to take it home and non from Arlington.  But we will score lots in the wrestle backs.  We're a Saturday morning kind of team this year.

 

106 Nelson over Horst

113 Hicks over Palmer

120 Martin over Sesnan/Dooley

126 Wheaton over Burns

132 McElhaney over Landers

138 Pendley over Ingram

145 Fuller over Chambers/Wilson

152 Rippy over Matthews

160 Sells over Garrett

170 McMahon over Smith

182 Salter over Fortner

195 Walling over Spangler

220 Demello over Boeck

285 Boykin over Kramer

looks like Martin is 1--2  against Dooley

I'll tell you who everyone is sleeping on, Science Hill!  They have shown all year long that they belong at the top!  Third in State Duals already and multiple tournament championships.  Fell just a few points short at Region but they will come through this weekend.  I'm picking the Toppers as state runner up--6 individual place winners, 2 champions, and several others very deep in their brackets.

Agree and don't be surprised what Higgins brings to state!!

 

Bears will take it all, the young blue raiders will gain the big dance experience to begin another dynasty over All Divisions with Bradley and Baylor on their heels, Beech will be coming back soon and Ryan, as we often see, will too with their two team system, early transfigured to late season

[KingGreene]

Whoa now... calm down. I agree everyone is overlooking a few of our kids after they have already beaten kids on these lists and proven to be one of the top 6 in their weight... But I'd rather us be the sleepers that show up when it matters and overperform. Let's not set us up to underperform.

Yes Matcat, jinxing what is actually a top four or five team at best is not what we need to do... Good luck to The Hill

I too believe some SH kids have been overlooked. I would probably agree with your predictions next year as they are very good young team. I see 3-5 placers

We have beat several kids on this list. I like the sleeper role too but those who know realize we are a threat. We will show up this week! Looking forward to a great weekend and our boys and girls making Johnson City proud.

SD has more than two that can make the podium. They have alot that can score points. SH,Arlington and Summit have alot. No doubt BC and Cleveland will have alot of placers. Gonna be a fun weekend. Hope everyone stays healthy.
