119 and 125

[Gripper]

ok, you guys know that it is unevitable that there will most likey be 2 state champions in one of the weight classes. the three gentlemen i'm referring to are james (Soddy daisy), cordell (Bradley), and ibrahim (overton). i think the coolest thing would be to have all three guys in the same weight class...this will consist of 5 state titles!!! what do u guys think about this?

 

also, don't forget about the dII guys. hiller (father ryan), and simpson (mba) should be around those two weight classes too. anyone know what tourney these guys may encounter each other? is soddy coming to the father ryan invitational? any of those matches will definitely be extraordinary to witness in my opinion.

 

i just wanna hear some opinions from u guys (no bias please).

Cordell is at 119.........

[Gripper]

yeah, but what about the other guys?

which 2 will be in the same weight class?

and what are your thoughts?

[sly]

I heard that James was going 125 I don't know about the Overton kid though.

[best_of_the_west]

Ive heard James 125 and Ibrahim 119. I think Ibrahim is one of the most underated wrestlers in our state. I'd love to see him and Cordell. I think it would be a better match than most would expect.

Will we see Ibrahim (John Overton) wrestle against Hiller (Father Ryan) or Simpson (MBA) this season. I have heard that they will both be at 125# and Dunning may be at 119#.

Looking forward to it.

I've heard that Ryan wil be going to Soddy Inv. look for all the questions to be answered there.

In last night's match against McGavock, which Father Ryan won 51-24, Dunning was at 119 and Hiller was at 130. Both won their matches.

best_of_the_west, what's your prediction for west TN in this Category?

Better yet, could you be the unofficial ranker of the West?

[best_of_the_west]

119-Shawn Speroff (Coll.)-last year won region @ 112, placed 6th in state----

Others to watch(i dont know official season weights)-Jonas Gibbs (Ridg.), Luke

Groves (Hous.)

125-Chris Baker (Bart.)-last year won region @ 125, won Ridgeway Tourney----

Others to watch-Chad Warren (Ridg.) won Germantown Tourney, Brandon

Wright (Hous.), Jeff Hunt (Coll.)

 

Once again, I can't be positive that all these wrestlers will remain remain at these weights throughout the season. I think Wright of Houston will bump to 130. Coaches or fans can correct me. I'm not brave enough to make 1-4 predictions for region until I see a little more wrestling. Speroff won't be back until after Christmas, but I don't think anyone can beat him. Chad Warren looked good at Germantown, so I would give him a decent chance of beating Baker. That's what I think at least. Do you guys agree?

[CoachBray]

Yes, Jonas Gibbs and Chad Warren will be at 119 and 125, respectively. They both are wrestling great and should have outstanding seasons. Speroff from Collierville and Baker from Bartlett will be the biggest challenges. Yes, Wright (Houston), Hunt (Collierville), and Groves (Houston) will be stiff competition. But don't forget 119'ers Quint from Bartlett and Winston from Kingsbury, they are definitely in the mix.
