Somewhere between 5 and 8 MCL champions are predicted. Throw in a Norton, Smith Center 1-2 finish (not forgetting Beloit nor Silver Lake...just pondering) and P-ville/P-burg 5 and 6 and that's a pretty impressive league.

All that said, 112, 119, 135, 140, 145 and 285 will be wars that could easily go non-MCL.

I'm going to take a wild guess that you are from Wellsville?

jayhawk pride do you really think sommer will even be close to kyler at state??? The kid might be the best 215 kid in the state!!!

Can we get a prediction of finals match ups?

103-Shumacher, TMP over Goepfert, Marysville
112-Bainter, Norton over Zaldivar, Douglas
119-Weigel, Plainville over LaMar, Silver Lake
125-Campbell, Oakley over Fyre, Eureka (the word on prepzone is that Campbell is hurt, i would like to hear one way or another. I've got Patton if Campbell is hurt)
130-Rogers, Smith Center over Geist, Osborne
135-Floyd, Osborne over Hewitt, Beloit
140-Zahorsky, Silver Lake over Oliver, Osborne
145-Spangler, Beloit over Trevor Rempe, Smith Center (in OT, i can't wait to see this one. Hope it happens.)
152-Smith, Goodland over Urban, Oberlin
160-Travis Rempe, Smith Center over Engstrom, Hoisington
171- Stevenson, Ellsworth over, Brown, Leoti
189-Wahlmeier, Rock Creek over Martinez, Goodland
215-Sommer, Mission Valley over Kyler, Elsworth (My "that just happened!" match. Plus, I know Austin, and would love to see him bring a state championship medal to Mission Valley.)
285- Rice, Phillipsburg over Salamans, Hoxie

Unless they magically changed the brackets I think Weigel and LaMar are in the same quarter.

This is based off of how everyone has performed this year and last year at State. Also some of it comes down to a gut feeling. Take it with a grain of salt.

Fun fact the last time Mission Valley had a state finalist was in 1998, just over ten years ago. Anyone who can name this wrestler I will give you a ride in my number 62 ME car.

Hint: He made it into the finals on a very controversial call.

pat dykstra over koster of hoxie

oh, and he lost to a Plainville kid in the finals!

I like how wrestler15 gave some of the Douglass kids some love but, Andrew Shaft at 145 from Douglass deserves some consideration as well.

dykstra over baker illegal cross face dykstra opted not to continue

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.

However, you said the wrong Hoxie wrestler. It was actually Travis Baker. Baker gave him a hard crossface while he was trailing and Dykstra opted to take the easy win with an injury default off of an illegal move.

I'll meet you at Kansas Speedway in half an hour for your ride with the legend of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby.

called it

Andrew Shaft will have a tough time getting by Trevor Rempe of Smith Center in the quarterfinals and will likely have to face Kyle Wichman of Silver Lake or Kaid McKenna of Norton in the blood round. So I have him just coming up short of medaling. I wrestled Andrew in high school and know he can be dangerous but from what I've seen of him wrestling this year he appears to have been hampered by injuries and is a bit out of shape because of it.


As for the other two Douglass wrestlers I have placing, Daylan Zaldivar and Cody Huffman benefit from have more favorable matchups in the first round and quarterfinals. Both could make the finals with great first days, but I think both should place regardless.
