Theoretical Grand State - 02/25/07 06:59 PM
we've talked about all kansas teams, who the best class is, etc. so if we had a grand state, who would win each weight? i'll give my picks, dont crucify me to bad because i probably will be biased toward the big classes simply because i havent seen as much small class wrestling. i'm picking only out of the state camps.
103- Slyter Paola...this was a hard pick. i would have gone with keller but he got upset, i think slyter won the toughest of the 103 brackets.
112- Keller, Bishop Carroll...easy pick here. only loss on the season was to furches, he also beat furches. and keller dominated his bracket at state.
119- Hansen, Turner...undefeated state champ, on the right day cox could beat him but since cox got 4th in 4A i have to go with hansen. may be a different story had cox been healthy for his tournament.
125- Caldwell, Goddard...has yet to lose to kansas opponent in his career. 2 state titles, pinned his way to the finals, i dont think theres much debate on the best 125lber in the state.
130- Broeckelman, Norton...undefeated and dominated his bracket. unfortunate we couldnt see him match up with bahe, ely is also really good but almost got upset in the semis. this would be a fun grand state bracket.
135- Isenberg, Gardner...only loss was to henes. he had beat henes earlier and beat henes again at state. handed almaguer his only loss of the year. almaguer handled napier without much trouble so i think isenberg is the logical choice.
140- dont really know...arnold i guess? i guess no one in this weight has stood out to me this year.
145- Pyle, Sabetha...dominated his bracket at state, undefeated.
152- Koehn, Pittsburg...undefeated, didnt get close to losing at state, has impressed me the time or two i've been able to see him.
160- Beard, Goddard...2nd state title, closest match at state was a 9-2 win. really tough kid.
171- Cotton, Hutch...undefeated, 3rd state title, kid should be a 4Xer, i dont think anyone in kansas can touch this kid.
189- Evans, Hutch...beat elliot 4-0 in the finals. also beat mamie 4-2. i thought those 3 kids made 189 5A one of the toughest around and evans won it.
215- Back, Liberal...pinned his way to the finals and then won 10-4 there. dominant kid.
285- Zlatnik, Rossville...i love atticus disney as a heavyweight but i think you got to give zlatnick the ever so slight edge since hes older and disney did have 2 one point matches at state. you cant go wrong with either of those two kids though.
That leaves me with...
3A- 3 grand state champs.
4A- 2
5A- 6
6A- 2
i'm not really coutin 140 since i really dont know. what do you all think?
