That's Rodriguez at 152, And I predict it's Blair and him in the championship with Numrich taking 3rd Son 4th and Stickel somewhere in the mix. Just my thoughts...

I don't see numrich beating sam son, if that is what happens. Also Rodriguez has to face Sam Son. This will be an interesting match.

Well if Numrich wrestles the way he wrestled this weekend he'll beat Son. You know he went well against Blair 2-0 where as Son lost to him 11-3, I think it's Blair, Rodriguez, Numrich top three and not in that order.

I HOPE IT IS RODRIGUEZ IN THE FINALS. I AM PULLING FOR THE ULYSSES WRESTLERS.

Chewie...I dont know how I feel about your predicition at weight class 125. Im not exactly sure how I would pick them, but I think that will be a great bracket to watch unfold.

Kral over O'Hara what about the regional matchup between the 2 where O'Hara won 3-1

At 160 Cole Cannon is going to surprise Mr. Chewie.

Please. It's just Chewie.

Any counter predictions?

I dont know if I would trust the predictions of a spacecraft pilot who cant even talk. All he does is this weird growling noise.

Matman, I still haven't seen you make any predictions, ever. Is there someone in particular that you want paid a compliment? Whoever you want to win, I'll say that he'll win state, just to make you happy.

Thanks for the post...:)

My bet:

Shoemaker wins 103.
Hood wins 112.

Picking is undefeated and tech falled his kid in the semis and finals last weekend.

Matman made a prediction in the 4A Rankings threads. You gonna get his back like you said?

If Matman says Easterberg is gonna win it, I can't back him up, Andale needs Hattabaugh to win it. Have him pick a weight that Andale doesn't have someone in, and I'll back him up. I can't cheer against my team.....................

Thanks chewie, I always appreciate your insight.

Yeah I did over look Picking I think it will be him and Numrich wrestling for 3rd and 4th, unless he can beat Blair then it will be him and Rodriguez in the championship.

Coltrain(Colten Picking)is a beast!!! Thats all im going to say

152 should be a good one i have been wating all year for colten to get a chance to wrestle blair if they both make it that far would of been nice to see them on opposite sides but thats the way it goes.someone is going home with a loss .good luck to all the boys they are all champions

I believe Cade Blair will handle him. I remember watching Blair knock picking out at last years kids state tourney

I wouldn't trust my predictions either for the exact same reasons.

On 4A 152:

The match between Sam and Cade that was mentioned previously wasn't the only match they've wrestled this year...just a thought.

So whats the thought your wanting to say...At 152 Blair has beat Son every time right?

It was 3-1 at Valley Center and 11-3 at Rose Hill.

I was just saying there are other factors to take into account, that's all. All these boys are great athletes and there will definitely be some awesome matches to watch.

Oh I agree, I'm not trying to knock anyone, it will be fun to watch.

you are right he did knock colten out in the semis at kids state last year in the begining of te 1st period so therefor they realy didnt get to see who was the better wrestler this isnt boxing lol

Are you insinuating that Blair did something dirty at that match at kid state?

no not at all i do beleive he should of been called for a illegal slam but that was my oppinion and not the refs

There was nothing remotely close to an illegal slam in that match. If I remember correctly Picking stood up, Blair returned him to the mat. Unfortunately sometimes the arm is trapped and the first thing to hit the mat is your head.

This should be an exciting match to watch!

wonder why "pick"

who wins (team)????

The team with the most points at the end. Just kidding. I wish 4a was the same place as 5 and 6a so I could see some of the matches. I know this is just a dream to have all classes in the same place but it is a good dream.

It appears that 4a will be one of the closest team battles we've seen in a long time, among SEVERAL teams.

Yea well Douglas had Picking on his back last week. So idk how Picking will do against Blair. I feel bad for Douglass, the kid drew the future state champ first round. I think he could surprise him, after all he did pinned Seibel from Salina South.

Here's the breakdown this year.

placer predicted: 67 out of 84 for 79.8%
finalists predicted: 23 out of 28 for 82.1%
champions predicted: 10 out of 14 for 71.4%
team champion predicted: 1 out of 1 for 100%

Impressive!

you da man chewie - good job!

i think windjammer takes you out chewie. using his magic 8ball, i think he's sittin' at 100%. great job though.

How could you think shoemaker was gonna get 3rd?

remember shoemaker narrowly escaped the quater finals vs mulligan. great match.

Because I had Mulligan beating him, which did not happen, but almost.

All of a sudden Clay Center has won state titles 4 out of the last 6 years in 4A. I didn't think that type of dominance could happen at the 4A level. That is almost 1980's Beloit-esque.
