Last year it was pretty obvious 171 was the toughest, which do you guys think this years will be?

I don't know how to format this thing, but it should read weight, name, school, class, 2004 placement, and ranking.

It reads just how you say. Thank you for the breakdown it's very interesting to see how the brackets are set. 152, 171, and 189 all looked extremely loaded this year.

finals predictions for what i think are the three toughest weights...
152 erisman vs. bailes
171 malloy vs. sonderegger
189 gonzalez vs. cisper

i'll take erisman, malloy and cisper in these matches. but they could all easily go either way.

189 if Gonzales and Pursel are on the same side. I would not think it's a given that Gonzales would beat Pursel.

SlamBam

yeah, Pursel vs. Cisper would be my guess for the finals match

and @ 171 Malloy vs Wiscombe

yea, both of those brackets are tough enough i could definitly be wrong. dickinson(Turner) and born(olathe north) could both make some noise at 189 too. although i dont think either of them will make the finals. do you think pursel or gonzales is good enough to beat cisper?

Mancuso (NOT 130) vs. Dawson at 125

According to a previous post on this thread - both of these outstanding wrestlers are at 125

You can add Jed Mamie from STA to that stacked 171 bracket too.

isnt paola's stewart actually down to 189 this year?

Pursel and Cisper would be a toss up...cisper did beat him last year though

paola's stewart wrestled 189 at the ON invite...did he certify there? does anyone know? becuase that could change how this tournament looks quite a bit at those 2 weights.
