AAA 170 lb Preview and Picks

[Bump11]

Oh boy. This likely finals match will be one of if not the most exciting match all weekend for me. Fowler vs Diehl. Both defending state champs. Both top p4p guys. Both elite talent in Tennessee. It would be a lot of fun. Dylan Quinn will try his best to spoil the party though. I really like Alex Mercado from Motown East and Cade Young from Houston. Mercado has flown under the radar, but had 2 very close matches with Diehl and I think he’s been very underrated. And young has been a solid guy throughout high school but has never been able to break through and hit the podium. I think he does this year. The toughest decision here was who wins it all. Fowler and Diehl could wrestle 10 times and I’d bet it’s close to 5-5. 

 

Final Picks:

1. Landon Fowler (Blackman)

2. Chase Diehl (Science Hill)

3. Dylan Quinn (Mt. Juliet)

4. Gabe Smith (Clarksville)

5. Alex Mercado (Motown East)

6. Cade Young (Houston)

 

One match away:

Ashton Davis (Cleveland), Cade Meeks (East Hamilton)

I think that Johnson(Bradley) and Richards(Springfield) may make some noise and surprise some folks.

They don't make top 3,but 4-6 could be interesting.

Johnson and Richards are my dark horses to place

I like your two dark horse picks! Fowler beats Quinn( who gets revenge from last yrs loss in the semis to Diehl) in the finals. Diehl finishes 3rd this season. You heard it here first.

I REALLY liked Richards too. I had him vs Davis in the round of 12. He is definitely one to watch. Just was a little too inconsistent over the year for me to take him over Davis but I wouldn’t be surprised at all of he’s on the podium come Saturday.
