Although Bosken keeps getting closer. He will be difficult to beat at either weight. He beat Chase very easily at Region and State duals. He is a great wrestler. Mason spent a week with him at Roundtree’s and likes him a lot. I saw the two matches with Chase. Bryson just had too much horsepower. Chase looked good on his feet but Brysons top game was just too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s crazy is Mason placed at Beast of the East this year and to me, not being snobby, but is worth more than any TN medal. With that said anyone seeding the bracket that puts those two on same side should be fired and they should come up with a new seeding system. Kinda like the way they do the state duals. I grew up wrestling in Michigan and our high school duals tournaments were seeded according to who the best teams were, not what place you got in a region. They need a new seeding system, badly. There are people that actually know wrestling and know these kids pretty good. I’m sure a committee could be put together to see things the way they should be seeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only seeding done in the duel is previous years 1 thru 4 and 1st and 2nd from each section will be on opposite sides and supposedly individual is section winners in each quarter bracket then a 2 3 4 from different sections 1 wrestles 4 then 2 wrestles 3 so a 1 won't hit another 1 till the third round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s another way TN falls short and that is the state tournament is not seeded unless the wrestler was a state placed from last years. Besides that the only other thing is a 1 from a region would not be on the same side of bracket from 2 and 3 and a 1 from a sectional faces a 4th from a different region.

Need to brace yourself that he very well could be the 3 or 4 seed. They don’t give any special consideration to a freshman. Way too much emphasis on returning state placement in my opinion. For example Hunter was the 3 seed his freshman year and he either pinned or teched his way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, he would be one of my top few "favorites" if I could pick the favorite and give you "the field". Granted, anything can happen and that's why they wrestle it out, but that's just my opinion. Brenot is lock to win 182! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogs26 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Predictions for AA 106- Cordero (Cleveland) 113- Chase Walker/Mason Jakob (DB) going to be a great match, hoping it’s the finals matchup! Toss Up match! 120- Bryson Terrell (Bradley) 126- Bentley Ellison (Cleveland) overcomes Little (Summit) this time! 132- Ethan Lipsey (Bradley) 138- Landon Desselle (Summit) 145- Luke Belcher (Bradley) 152- Fowler (Cleveland) 160- Max Norman (DB) 170- Szymborski (Cleveland) beats Gibbs (Brentwood) 182- Aiden Brenot (Clarksville) 195- Devon Medina (Science Hill) 220- Noah Todd (WC) 285- Hayden McDonald (Maryville) Edited February 9, 2023 by Dogs26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland 2. Dobyns 3. Bradley 4. Summit 5. Wilson MOW - Add Brenot to that list, pinned everyone last year minus Szymborski. I could see him pin everyone at 182 this year!

Yeah someone informed me of that earlier basically saying Mason could be on the same side as the 1 seed, which is bad for the state tournament to have a championship match in the semis instead of the actual finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s terrible seeding criteria!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
