State Champs. Post it up.

All right, dudes and buddies, it's that time of the year. We're winding down, so let's start posting up our team title favorites. Hoxie or Norton? Bishop Carroll, KC Turner, or Ark City? Hat Town, Goddard, or Hutch? And how deliciously wide open is 4a?

Here are mine:

321a: Norton
4a: Too delicious to guess.
5a: Bishop Carroll
6a: ...............Goddard. (Sorry dudes, they've done it before.)

321a: Hoxie
4a: Abilene
5a: Bishop Carroll
6a: Garden City

Here are mine:
123A-Belleville
4A-I can't think of any teams that aren't good
5A-Everyone has an equal shot
6A-Wichita South

Topeka High Should Challenge for the top spot in 6A.

I'm pretty sure that Topeka West will also challege for the 5a team title. Go Topeka!!!!

3-2-1A- Hoxie- too many big guns, could have 3-4 finalists
4a- Abeline- Almost 6-7 guarenteed state placers
5a- Campus- Dark Horse
6a- Manhattan- close race

6a: Manhattan wins #1
5a: my long horse Salina South
4a: cheating on this= somebody from the Abilene Regional

3a: I would love to see Norton win (sidenote: I'd like to see Herington in Top 10)

Jhris-- Belleville in 321A? they will be lucky to finish in the top 15.

321A--Norton
4A Goodland
5A Bishop Carroll
6A Garden City

Hahahahahahahah....(breathing) ...hahahahahahahaha... (gasp) ....haha... ha....

Topeka High and Topeka West? That is funniest thing I have EVER read on the forum!

321A: Norton
4A: Goodland
5A: Bishop Carroll
6A: Manhattan

6A Who ever scores the most team points
5A Who ever scores the most team points
4A Who ever scores the most team points
321A Who ever scores the most teams points

Bet i'm right on all of these. just a hunch.

anyone disagree?

I think whoever wins abilene regionals will win 4A, and my guess is whoever wins regionals will NOT win state. thats what it always happens. And marrs is gay

321A Hoxie
4A Abilene
5A Turner (no body else picked them)
6A Manhatten wait i mean Manhattan

I feel, and I'm pretty sure that Dingbat agrees, that Belleville is the best team in the state. They prove week in and week out that they're amazing with talent and heart. Their ability is second to none, and that will show up at state.

321a-hoxie
4a-sft
5a-bishop carrol
6a-emporia

6A.....Manhattan
5A.....Campus(lots of guys in the finals)
4A.....Buhler(no ones really heard of them)
321A...Norton

Sorry Buhler will not win state....they arent even the best team in the Andale regional.

OK whoever picked buhler to win state must not know 4a wrestling very well.

I think Abilene will Win it again.
They have at least 6 maybe 8 placers.
Goodland has 4 or 5
SFT 3 or 4
Columbus will be tough to beat!!

Good luck Abilene!!!!!!!

Goodland, I can't believe you people. Shame on you, Columbus has a better chance of winning state than Goodland does. But in my humble opinion everyone already knows I think Abilene will repeat. Its just hard to bet against a team that has at least two kids guaranteed for the finals, two more that have a really good chance of getting to the finals, and two more that shoudl place in the top 4.

Nothing is guaranteed Nigel.

Well I think Kriegbaum and Taplin are about the closet thing to a guarantee you can get. Perhaps one of them won't make it but not very likely.

I think they are fine wrestlers and I like them alot. Just saying that anything can happen.

I was having a real weird feeling since last year, that out of the two 3x State Champs going for #4 , only 1 will come out with all 4. But I wouldn't totally bet the farm on that.

I understand that anything can happen but Kreigbaum and Gilliland's weight classes are pretty weak. I don't see either one of them losing.

321a norton
4a abeline
5a carroll(couple of contenders)
6a manhattan

I have confidence that Abilene will win it (Columbus or Goodland could sneek in there), but as you said Coach Lane anything can happen. I think back to the 2000-2001 season when they brought 9 wrestlers to state that were ranked up in the top 3 and several of them got beat out in the first 3 rounds. They ended up placing 3rd. If they all wrestle well I don't see anyone beating them. Not to mention the fact that alot of good wrestlers aren't going to make it past the Abilene regional.

Okay so as for my predictions

3A Call me crazy but probably Hoxie
5A I don't really know cause I haven't seen any of the team
6A Manhattan based on their performance at Beloit, they seem to have a well rounded tournament team

Safety.

Nigel, let's not talk about that year. Everything went wrong that weekend. Thankfully we had Kriegbaum and Geske or we wouldn't even finished that high!

321A - Hoxie
4A - Abilene
5A - Bishop Carrol
6A - Manhattan

6a-Manhattan
5a-Carrol
4a-for now Abilene
3a-Norton

Norton, goodland, carrol, and Manhattan. Loss of numbers because of the toughness of the regional may give Columbus the edge here, I have not seen them wrestle but from what I hear they could have 10 or more wrestlers at state and they were able to tie Goodland and beat Clay with that advantage last year, Norton just is too strong at too many weights to be losing to Hoxie, who has only around 6 guys that will score significant points. Carrol seems to be the strongest of the 5a group, and its Manhattan's turn. Closest state I think will be 4a, possible that
three or four teams could be within 5 or ten points of each other, I like Goodland, Abeline, Columbus, and Clay. Sorry to belabor 4a but that's what I've been watching, mostly.

3a- Hoxie
4a- I think it will be close between SFT and Abiliene. Throw Goodland in there to. they looked tough at the Bobcat Classic.
5a- Bishop Carrol or Turner
6a- Manhattan
