A lot like yours but........


103 - Seybold vs Watters
112 - Salas vs Seaton
119 - Gentzler vs Smith
125 - Meacham vs Nitcher
130 - Rose vs Penka
135 - Tovar vs Oliver
140 - Blair vs Dikin
145 - Crank vs McGoldrick
152 - Sutherland vs Watson
160 - Curtis vs Detmer
171 - Truman vs Hinckley
189 - Elsen vs Kolmer
215 - Nowak vs Johnson
285 - Serna vs Marquez

Most of the matches could go either way should be good to watch

what about predictions for the top 6?

Top 6...are you kidding, that is the top 25% of the state...that's like getting a C in math. Go back to the old days of Top 4.

beeson surely you never got a c at all let alone in math. all those takedowns you got im pretty sure a c in math is very unlikely. i do agree though. top 6. if your not first your last right.

I am hoping that 112 finals is Seaton vs Boyer

I like my predictions better!!!! 103 - Seybold vs Watters
112 - Salas vs Seaton
119 - Gentzler vs Smith
125 - Meacham vs Nitcher
130 - Rose vs Penka
135 - Tovar vs Oliver
140 - Blair vs Dikin
145 - Chase Sanchez vs Zane Wickham
152 - Sutherland vs Watson
160 - Curtis vs Detmer
171 - Truman vs Hinckley
189 - Elsen vs Kolmer
215 - Nowak vs Johnson
285 - Serna vs Marquez

You pick two 125lbers that moved up to 130 very, very late in the season? Bold. I like Biddle to make it from his side.

I'll take Biddle to, against Blew in the finals.

matman you have the upset of sanchez over crank?

Boyer over salas in 112 semi's...

Crank tech falled chase sanches in the newton semi's, no way is he makin the finals

ill take the boyer kid at 112 any day. ive known that kid for a long time, he has alot of fight in him.

Crank will win 145.

he will go untouched he was toying with wickham at regionals

Crank is just a cocky wrestler I think Wickham will be ready for him in the finals.

What was the score between Crank and Wickham at Regionals?

11 to 8

That doesn't sound likes a close match to me. Who did Crank lost to this season?

I meant to say that sounds like a close match to me.

Score was 12-8, late takedown made it closer. And Mitchell Means first match of the season.

Well with all this being said 145 is going to be and interesting weight class to watch.

Mitchell Means would beat Colby crank. I have watched
Means and he is wrestling alot stronger as the season has progesssed toward state. Mitchell Means shows class when he wins. Cobly Cranks Takes Bows infront of cheerleaders when he wins. I heard this is what he did after the match at regionals. This is a sport of character. Win with class and diginity.I have coached alot of kids over the years and I would expect a little more class from an athlete that is ranked #1 at 145

Nothing wrong with trying to impress the ladies. How is bowing classless?

That's what I was going to say.
Bowing is kind of cool.
Back in the day, it was definately not classless to bow and was actually classy. Who knows what a kid is thinking today though when he bows.
I like it better though than drawing other unnecessary attention to yourself after you win, maybe like holding your arms up in triumph and jumping around (which is ok too and kind of normal and accepted) or something else that is silly or ridiculous or worse, derogatory/unsportsman like.
After actors, and others, do a good job, they take a bow. It is kind of a subtle way of saying, "yes I did good, thank you for cheering for me".
But this is just my thoughts and perception, my opinion.

Just a guess - but maybe he bowed to the opposing cheerleaders which could be perceived as taunting?

the bowing was done in front of the hays cheerleaders after crank won the finals match against wickham.

Okay well before this gets out of hand i guess i will explain the situation. Although it was not justified either way what happened was on my way across the mat after the match i was adressed in an inappropriate way by one of the hays high cheerleaders and it was just how i reacted in the heat of the moment.. sorry if it really offended anybody that much. For the most part people that i have been around know that behavior isn't common because I am a believer in the whole win like a champion, lose like a champion thing. My emotions were pretty high because it was a pretty intense match, i felt like there may have been a few cheap shots or wrestling after the whistle, but after thinking about it and remembering a few of his prior matches i realized that is just the way he wrestles and there is nothing wrong with intensity, just at the time it got me pretty fired up, which probably was a factor in the bad decision. So once again sorry if it really offended anyone.

P.S.
To those of you who have been posting on here hoping i will lose, thank you for the motivation.

If and when Colby Crank and Mitchell Means meet up, my guess is that we'll see two great wrestlers and an equally great wrestling match.

No doubt, Mitchell and Colby have wrestled a number of great matches the last few years. Colby has always been a classy individual in each and every one of those matches. I have watched Colby for a number of years in Highschool and summer wrestling and have always been impressed with not only his skills but his demeaner. Good luck to all the wrestlers this weekened. By the way this is Mitchells dad.

Brad Means

any team predictions?

Not Bishop Carrol

I truly thought Wickham would come back to beat Crank in the finals...way off

thats just how it goes sometimes. with that being said from watching Colby this weekend he wrestled and acted like a true state champion. Good job Colby and good luck in your future endeavors <--( I hope i spelled that right).
