state finals predictions

[dougiefresh 0]

After Voth got upset last year, I don't see him getting upset again, he learnt not to be overconfident and as of right now wrestles with more heart and determination than I even knew possible, plain and simple if he keeps his head level, state is his.

My side of the bracket is loaded too! (The bottom half of the 140 bracket) I would have been alot better off if I got 4th in my region!

yeah i saw that, i was dissapointed for you. and back to lewis and ohlman. lewis has thrown this year away in my opinion. he hasn't conditioned himself properly, some may link this to his injury, and even if it is his injuries fault, he is still way out of conditioning. i don't see him making it to the finals, call me crazy but thats what i think.

Is Wempe from Union on the lower side of 125? He has beaten Ohlman three times this year. I'm not saying Wempe will make it to the finals because at state there are many upsets and crazy matches.

[IgiveStitches 0]

taking nothing away from harrison courtney, but i believe that thuenamen will step it up in the semi's and finally beat him, he won a match over the 5th place kid from ohio who beat courtney, and he looked very decisive over the region 6 145's (didn't have much competition)

also with lewis, i think that he has gone downhill, also with his injury at WCI by miley i think he just hasn't looked the same, i don't know he could possibly step it up, we'll see with time

also with cooper, he looked to have a lot of fluid on his knee when i saw it, and after his match with dillon he needed help walking off the mat, and he looked like it was really bothering him, we'll see how it looks

I haven't seen Slone wrestle but I'll stick with Ohlman.  He is a freshman and has made a few freshman mistakes but overall he is a very strong wrestler and learns from his mistakes.  He beat Lewis at State duals so I think he can come out of that bracket ok.

Slone is also a freshman and if i'm not mistaken he owned Ohlman last year in the middle school state finals.

[Houze 0]

Middle school means nothing once u get to hs wrestling

[Trent 0]

yeah he owned him in his repeat 8th grade year.

[Byrddog 1]

Wempe and Ohlman will wrestle in round 2. I'll say Wempe wins and goes to the semi-finals maybe the finals

[Theprofessor 0]

I saw the prediction of two guys for Blake Kraft do you really think he will be there?  I know he is tough but I just can't see that.  He has to go through Eck who got his wake up call are region.  I just can't see Kraft over Eck. 

[Lowsingle 9]

Middle school means nothing once u get to hs wrestling

It was just last year they are both freshman

No Woodford champs? I believe history has proven otherwise.  Is this who you think will win or who you wish would win? I say Courtney, Starks and Byrd are locks, Parks and Lewis are probable.

[grappler-of-old 44]

I never truly noticed that there are no Woodford Co. champs. 

This is definitely not who I wish would win. I would have to change a few wt. classes for that.

It's who I think will win.

The three locks you stated will have difficult matches either in the finals or to get there. 

    Courtney has defeated Trainman twice by only a couple of points, and I think its time for Trainman to finally win the title he deserves.  (I'm beside myself on this match, I would like another 4 time state champ, but Thurman has earned a title also)

    starks has to prove he is 100% both physically and mentally to defeat Jones again.

    Byrd;  I have had my doubts about him winning Ht since I heard he was going Ht.  He has already demonstrated that Hat's can lose in a blink of an eye.

In no way are these 3 (LOCKS).  They may all three win but not locks to win.

i believe it'll be byrd and bailey in the heavyweight championship..

[Relentless_119 0]

This time i think its ashbrooks time he got embarresed at the hciwt but he wants revenge and will take state 4-3..and also sanders got a really good draw and expect to see him in the finals with courtney...Voth will win hands down no questions asked probably will major lewis in the finals....

[snap-drag 0]

yeah he owned him in his repeat 8th grade year.

Yes he was a repeat eighth grader but started school early and was still only 14 years old.

[prwrestler13008 0]

at 125 i think it will be Tyler voth (PD) vs. Ross Engle (CH) ross has really turned it on these last few weeks if he wrestles like he did against lucas carmen he could possibly be in the finals come saturday just my opinion

[Relentless_119 0]

i wish wheeler and wolsifier werent meeting in the semis that would be a great finals.

[pridewrestler 0]

I believe the Wheeler and Wolsiefer match will be in the second round.

[Guest loudon]

Now that we have the brackets for state, who do you see in the finals at each weight.

my prediction goes like this...

103 - Bradbury Vs. Elam

112 - Voth Vs. Sullivan

119 - Zarth Vs. Parks

125 - Voth Vs. Slone

130 - Ervin Vs. Eck

135 - Warner Vs. Ashbrook

140 - Miller Vs. Jackson

145 - Barger Vs. Courtney

152 - Banks Vs. Sheehan

160 - Wolfsier Vs. Choate

171 - Florence Vs. Likoy

189 - Starks Vs. Jones

215 - Green Vs. Winter

285 - Byrd Vs. Bailey

(Not in order just who I think will be in the finals)

WHAT??????????????????????????????? dials beat winters 11-0 plus he is a man beast

along with kelly it will be him with starks they both will have great match but both win

[ARealWrestlingFanatic 1]

I saw the prediction of two guys for Blake Kraft do you really think he will be there?  I know he is tough but I just can't see that.   He has to go through Eck who got his wake up call are region.  I just can't see Kraft over Eck. 

I was one of those who predicted Kraft.  He is an incredibly strong, physical and aggressive wrestler, although he has lost some of the big matches on some inexperience.  Not sure how long he has been wrestling but state records show he wrestled as a Sophomore at OldC at 140 and lost his first two matches to wrestlers who went on to finish 6th and 7th in the tournament that year.  He wrestled well last year at 135, losing to the 3rd and 7th place finishers.  He has now gone down to 130.  He will definitely be in top eight and if he wrestles smart, he can make it to the finals.  It won't be easy because he is coming out of the stacked side of the bracket, meeting shotwell, then Eck or Speck, then Seeder or Grimm.  It should be fun to watch.

[Theprofessor 0]

Yeah my only thing with Blake Kraft was his loss to Rayshawn Graham of Iroqois.  Tough loss.   

[ARealWrestlingFanatic 1]

Yeah my only thing with Blake Kraft was his loss to Rayshawn Graham of Iroqois.  Tough loss.   

When did he lose to Graham from Iroqois?

[Theprofessor 0]

Jefferson County.  He got pinned.  I know it was awhile back but still.  I know he is strong as an ox.  And I look for him to do well but not finals.  Maybe 5th or 6th..
