AAA 138 lb Preview and Picks

[Bump11]

This is another one that’s pretty solid on the finals matchup. Henderson vs Dooley is the likely final bout. And I’m torn. On one hand, Henderson beat Dooley to a title here last year (got his first) and has a decision win over Job in the Ryan final this year. On the other hand, if there’s anyone who knows Henderson..it’s Dooley. And we all know how bad Job wants that title to finish his high school career. I think he gets it done. Elsewhere, look for Ely Castillo to give Henderson fits if they meet in the semis. Castillo dropped a 3-0 decision to Dooley, and beat Alan Fort, who gave Henderson all that he could handle. Castillo is good  and could be a dark horse threat to win it  

 

Final Picks:

1. Job Dooley (Franklin)

2. Cameron Henderson (Smyrna)

3. Dillon Pendley (Tennessee)

4. Ely Castillo (Clarksville)

5. Alan Fort (Wilson Central)

6. Sebastian Hernandez (Bradley)

 

One match away:

Donovan Henry (Mt. Juliet), Jake Manuel (Houston)

Don’t count out Cael Laxton. Hasn’t wrestled much this year, only a sophomore beat Hernandez at Regions

For sure! I had him round of 12 losing to Manuel. If he beats Henry he places I think. But I got Henry and then the loss to Manuel. But he’s definitely one to watch. I enjoy watching him and his brother. Both will be multiple time medalists

Not sure why it posted twice

Watching the match live I thought Laxton dominated Hernandez. At that weight Laxton has a good shot.

When you say Henderson beat Dooley here last year what do you mean ? 

They were both in different weight classes last year,  both making the finals. Henderson won and Dooley lost in there respected classes.

Why does Dooley have a bye in the first round?

My bad. It’s supposed to say “beat Dooley to a title” ala got one first. Fixed
