106-Kraeszig St. Xavier v. Ervin Union / Yenter Campbell Co. v. Bender Lexington Catholic

113-Vega Fern Creek v. Moore Walton-Verona / Wells Campbell Co. v. Hurst Woodford Co.

120-Huston Cooper v. Brown Male / Sheffer Union Co. v. Roberts Woodford Co.

126-Poynter Moore v. Burroughs North Hardin / Erdman Ryle v. Peace Walton-Verona

132-Bindner Fern Creek v. Steiner Cooper / Duncan Trinity v. Insko Apollo

138-Johnson John Hardin v. Vasquez Lafayette / Spahr Campbell Co. v. Bird Central Hardin

145-Hudson Trinity v. Andreoni Woodford Co. / Richerson Taylor Co. v. Ashford Scott

152-Ackley Nelson Co. v. Belk Ryle / Barton Trinity v. Williams North Hardin

160-Meiman Ryle v. Nevels Wayne Co. / Buckman Union Co. v. Haddad St. Xavier

170-Ray Doss v. McIntosh Oldham Co. / Sowder Scott v. Griffith Johnson Central

182-Frankrone Trinity v. Jones Newport / Matthews Campbell Co. v. Smith Moore

195-King Johnson Central v. Dodd Fern Creek / Miozza Trinity v. Bossert Lafayette

220-Myers Campbell Co. v. Williams Harrison Co. / Green St. Xavier v. Hameidan Boone Co.

285-Shaffer Ohio Co. v. Jones North Oldham / Young Lafayette v. Johnson Dixie Heights

 

Some brackets are extremely loaded others are relatively "easier" in comparison (although nothing in this sport is actually easy). There were 5-6 classes where picking people was just throwing darts. As always anything can happen.

My only change would be at 126 I think Brad Krebs makes it to the Semis.  He looked like he was healthy and ready to roll this weekend forfeit in the finals a little unsure of the reason but if he wrestles like his region matches he will be in the semis.  Already has a win over Burroughs from North Hardin.

He definitely could, no doubt about it. That was a tough 8 man bracket both top guys have had a myriad of health issues and I truly hope they are both healthy and ready to compete for the state title.

Bindner by pin or tech. That being said i really like steiner. Very good wrestler.

Bindner is good but seriously!  I saw that he was pinned by a low rank 138 pounder at state duals.

Either way I think it will be a good match

Smith vs Duncan in quarters? Smith got a worse seeding than Steiner and he pinned Steiner at regionals! But who wins between Duncan vs Smith? I am leaning to smith because he is a dominate freshman!

Guys get caught. Which is exactly what happened. Bindner was winning handedly before he go caught in a scramble situation. so seriously yeah!

Not to mention he was bumped up. Mason smith wrestled Chaffee in the semis this past weekend. smith had him near teched. Relaxed for a sec and found himself on his back as time ran out. If he was pinned would you say "mason smith is good but I saw him almost get pinned by clint Chaffee"? Come on dude. Think before you speak.

Pin is dead on here too...Bindner and Smith are on a different planet from a talent perspective.  I would pay $20 to watch just this single match.  I think it is a close match...UTB ride out.  Not calling a winner either.   :D

That "low rank guy" out pointed him summer before last in a freestyle tourney at Center Grove. Then lost a match earlier in the season by a whopping 2 points after leading into the 3rd.

While I agree that it was Binder just "getting caught" at state duals, give the other kid a little credit. I mean since they hit high school the "low rank" guy is 2-1 against him.

The "low rank" guy also pinned Smith at the Rumble this year also. Just sayin'

4-2, but in fairness, Binder scored two takedowns and gave up the 2 by going neutral on the restart twice.

Kid hit a nice post high c I think, and they went to a scramble. It happens.

I'm just giving him crap, because we are buds.

Low ranked guy took bender down to his back, making it 4-4 before he got stuck. Low ranked guy is 9th but has several big wins.

Not how it happened. The match wasnt even competitive before hand.
