Louisville 4 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 I am a little biased towards the 92 bracket, but I think you have a really solid group that will be battling. Conrad/Cummings (have split their two very close matches this year), Blue/Deckard may have a rematch from last season's state consolation final at 86. Deckard is a beast, so it will be interesting to see if anyone will step up and take him down...otherwise it will be seeing who gets the scraps for 2nd and 3rd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louisville 4 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 ...and I agree that 98 is really tough. Adams, Lenhart, Pledger, Lee, Powell, Cowan and others are all contenders for first in that bracket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 82: Grandstaff vs. Walls, 98 looks real tough as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twenhofelcoach 61 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 I'm excited to see all of our young men and women wrestle, they all have been working so hard as wrestlers that showing up, putting on that singlet, and going out there and getting after it on Saturday and Sunday is the reward that us as coaches get to see and be proud of. It's truly a pleasure just to watch as they compete. It's an honor to say you helped them get there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gameface 253 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 So many great kids in each class. I'm partial to the lightweights of course. 70 with Moore, Herron, Sander, Bean, Giampalo and Ross. 75 With Peace, Thomas, Herron, Powell and Miracle. 80's top 4 are hammers Kinley, Grandstaff, Walls and Hansen are all really balanced. Same with 86 with Jacob Grandstaff and Thomas Deck leading the way. And how about a huge shout out to Ashley Courtney from Woodford!! She's a solid wrestler battling in to the state Championships. Hard to call the champions with so many good kids! Best of luck to all these wrestlers this weekend! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cole has the size advantage. Only hope would be Cole would hit Mason with a illegal slam and he could play possum. That is our only hope. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this would be a great place for you to congratulate Noah Duke on his State Title since you called out 3 different kids beating him. This was a great weight class, but you were the only one to to call out Duke and list a series of "upsets". I think he covered your spread!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was a great weight class, but you were the only one to to call out Duke and list a series of "upsets". I think he covered your spread!! I will be the first to congratulate Noah Duke and all the wrestlers. I had made a comment on the 10% rule that some complain about. It was only to say a little weight doesn't matter and that my son chose to drop to 130 for hopefully a chance to avenge a loss to Micah Erwin in a weight class that you could see still had all of the top ranked kids still in it. 140 obviously still had Lawrence and Bodenbender but everyone else in between that were mentioned earlier in the rankings went to different weight classes or were not there at all. 150 also had some studs along with all the other weight classes. For my son 130 seemed to be the potentially toughest class top to bottom not at all saying the top wrestlers at 140 &150 were not spectacular. I wish for my son to always learn from a win or a loss.
