DII Individual State Predictions


TalkingSense

Recommended Posts

Pretty easy to predict due to the small number of teams and the fact that most of the good wrestlers have already competed against each other this season.  There are typically very few upsets and the same can be said for both AAA & A-AA.  If everyone was back together with a 32 man bracket you would see many more upsets beginning in the round of 16 and the elite 8 round due to parity.

The slow death of high school wrestling in Tennessee will be related to the 3 divisions.  There is already a lack of depth made worse by separating the quality kids.  

Everyone wants to be given a state championship without putting in the time and work.

145 Marchetti over Anthony - upset pick

152 Bowers over Madson

160 Whitworth over Spell

170 Miller over Cagle - co-main event

182 Duffy over Sewell

195 Petersen over Harper - best matchup

Marchetti got caught this weekend.  Region duals they wrestled very close (9-7 I believe) and Marchetti was in it to the end.  Marchetti majored Barnes at State duals.  So it should be Marchetti vs. Anthony in the finals and I believe Marchetti has the ability to pull an upset.  Honestly, of all the weights, I think this is the only viable upset.

Do Alvarez and Spell have any common opps or have they wrestled each other this year?  If Im going to pick an upset it would be Omaury over Spell at 160. 

The most recent common opp that I can see is Jack Revere of BGA.
Spell pinned him in the 1st, and Alvarez beat him 13-7. They both also beat Miller from FR by pin

Both wrestled Schroeder from MBA in the State Duals- both won by pin. I like Alvarez although Spell looks very strong and wrestles with an edge (2 penalty pts Vs Schroeder in 1st period). Alvarez has wrestled Whitworth very competitively (have not seen many be able to do this over the years) and took him into OT at the Regionals where Whitworth won 5-3- and I think when they wrestled during the season Whitworth won 6-4. I see Whitworth Vs Alvarez in finals...and this match should be close.

Interestingly, Spell did not wrestle against McCallie in the first round of the state duals, but did wrestle in later matches- so did not face Whitworth.

    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.

    • Correct information on your part Waco regarding your years and wins with no generalities. if Fulmer had not been fired, he would have easily been retired for several  years by now. It’s a new regime at TN participating in the deepest football conference in America.
