if the state tournament was combined

[Rabbitt]

just think......if the state tournament was combined like it use to be how tough it would be this year. i can remember back when i was in high school some of the first round matches were two wrestlers capable of being in the state champions. one year in the round of 32 tim voiles vs. james vance. another year round of 32 damon floyd vs. travis adams. i was sitting around and trying to think who would be in the state finals if it were combined.....this is what i come up with.

103-pucket vs. doster

112-manson vs. coleman

119-cordell vs. simpson

125-james vs. hiller

130-cleveland vs. manson

135-leen vs. lane

140-smith vs. baker

145-blair vs. davis

152-marable vs. manley

160-gibson vs. scott

171-blackmon vs. knox

189-marable vs. campbell

215-walsh vs. inman

hwt.-forte vs. schnell

 

i know that maybe 3/4 or 1/2 of these may not have made it if it were one tournament, because when you group a bunch of good wrestlers together, there are always going to be a bunch of upsets, and i know that when it was all one state tournament there were all kinds of upsets in every weight. its always fun to imagine what if.......

Wouldn't we want to consider the CBHS kid @ 215?

140lbs hayduk from ND beat baker in Brad finals

103lbs adamson ND

215 meredith ND beat Bailey brad finals

[Rabbitt]

hayduk could easily be one of the best 140lbs. and the ND 103 is tough also. there are a bunch of guys that could be named in each weight that could easily be state finalist. these are just my opinion, and im know wrestling genious. im just going from what ive seen and heard this year. some wrestlers are better at the begining of the season than they are at the end. its all about who peaks at the right time, and who can handle the pressure.

[mrsoddydaisy]

Rabbitt, your list is pretty good, but your post was at 1:33 p.m....Get a job or go to school or wrestling practice or something.....just kidding. Do you think the mighty Trojans have any chance to beat Bradley at the duals? Steve will have to shuffle the lineup some like he did 2 years ago.

Who did you have beating West at 130?

[Bulldogs76]

HWT Bates beat Forte 3-1 i don't see Forte being there

[Rabbitt]

i think cleveland or manson could beat west. cleveland is the clear favorite at 130. west and manson would be a good match. as far as soddy beating bradley. it can happen but its not likely. there will have to be a couple upsets along the way. hopefully bradley and soddy will be on opposite sides of the brackets, because they are clearly the best two teams in div. 1.
