DI OW

[slimwrastler54]

Every year there are several wrestlers in DI who are supposed to win and clearly there are the obvious choices for the OW of the state tourney(ex. quinn gibson last year, expected to win and I believe he won OW). However there doesn't seem like there's anyone who is just going to win, every weight is a toss-up, and I know that nothing is for certain but some wrestlers who are that good are thinking of a state championship as much as they are saying they're not. What I am asking is who is going to completly dominate their weight class if anybody?

Bundy at 125 maybe. More likely would be Knox at 171.

If Kenny Meredith wrestles the way he has been all season, I could see Kenny winning this prestigous award.

I got one word... Danny Coleman

was that one word? If Danny can get by R. Konz easily he has a good shot! I think Withrow will give Bundy all he wants if he can get passed his awkward style.

 

I think the best shots are Knox or Creagan in D1, or Dunning or Marable in D2.

In D1, I'd say Coleman, Bundy or Knox.

 

Meredith could struggle with Kirn too much for OW.

 

In order to get OW, Coleman has to have developed another takedown besides the fireman's that he couldn't hit well on Bundy last year.

 

Knox could have problems if a tall guy can stay away from his upper body in tie-ups, and his ducks, high crotches and blast doubles on his feet. Oh, and also the inside trips. If someone can go three periods and wear him out, he won't look like an OW in period 3.

 

I don't see Creagan dominating enough for OW, but I could be wrong.

 

If by chance, Kirn beats Meredith and dominates everyone else, he would deserve it.

 

In D2, it's Dunning, Marable or Manson.

 

I wouldn't put it past Manson to so thoroughly dominate 125 that he can't be denied OW.

 

Just the thoughts of an outsider with no axe to grind.

Haven't seen enough of the DI guys to comment but as far as DII goes I think it is going to be hard to find a wrestler who will dominate as much as Marable will. It would be hard for me to award it to either Manson or Dunning in my opinion because they are in such close weight classes and we already know they are fairly even with one another.

[Observer99]

That only strengthens my point.

 

When you know Manson has beaten Dunning in their last match and Dunning is a returning 2x state champ, to me if Manson more thoroughly dominates 125 than Marable does 160, I'd say it goes to Manson.

 

But, it's all about who looks the most impressive and dominating on those three days in February.

Only two days for D2. slackers!

[dentdoc09]

What is the definition of OW?? What has to be accomplished to get the award? Obviously, one muct be the champ. But, how dominating must one be?

[rigger101]

If you get it in OW in region 2 it's the kiss of death! The kids who have won it have all had something go wrong at State.

Who has Creagan not dominated in Tennessee?
