5a 152
1 Detmer
2 Akin
3 Flynn

5 Giesen

Scarecrow, do you see Graham from Ark City getting his 4th title at 130. He sure has taken his lumps this year. And if you had to choose between one location to watch the finals (like you do this year) where would you go?

Akin over Tapia?

Theres a lot of talk about the lower and mid weight classes, any one have any 6a Predictions on some Upper weight classes?

I'm sure we can say this for a number of other weight classes all throughout the state, but it's a shame that they stuck Detmer and Flynn on the same side of the bracket at 5A 152 after they met in the finals at 145 last year. We say this every year about a few potential semifinal matchups, but it's a shame that it works out this way.

shipmanm-
I have never found Grahm that impressive, but he turns it on when he has to, i watched mertins pin him in like 45 seconds at rosehill last yr, then beat him at state. Grahm is a very "when its on the line im gonna bring it every time" type of wrestler. So yah, i do see him getting number 4.
As for the going to watch a state tournament, i would probably choose to go and watch 6a JUST because i wanna see lhs. BUT if i were unbias, i would go and watch 4a in a heartbeat.

Chief-
I didnt see look at that i guess.
And one more thing, tell tanner to keep his head up. He can do good, give him a little bit of motivation all week. UPSETS that really shouldnt happen at all, happen every year.... If you want proof of this look at the 6a 103 top half of the bracket last year. Tell him that hes got someone rootin for him up in south dakota.

I definately think that 4A 119 would be one of the deepest brackets. Usually it's an upper weight bracket because at those weights you tend to see more upperclassmen.

any one got any ideas in 321a 103 to hwt

It seems like 4A is pretty competitive up and down the lineup; especially 119. I will be watching 5A to see how the Keller twins do. I hope they both win. I think Detmer is a sure bet.

6A finals predictions:

103 - Vesta/Ruiz
112 - DeShazer/Tanenbaum
119 - Barber/Madl
125 - McCormick/Cooper
130 - Maple/Dunham
135 - Means/Nelson
140 - Caldwell/Lutz
145 - Miller/Dozier
152 - Fisher/Ringgold
160 - Bonewell/Reinhart
171 - Beard/Witt
189 - Baker/Deere
215 - Downs/Goens
285 - Heithaus/Vincent

Chief, what are your full predictions for 6A State placers?

6A -285, Maybe Westmoreland, he already beat both of them you listed

ok... lemme throw my predicts in there... kid who wins it is listed first.
103 Ruiz v Vesta
112 Deshazer v Tannenbaum
119 Lawrence v Madl (upset note chaz over barber in quarters)
125 Mcormick v Greenlee (kinna weak weight class w/ exception of mckormick)
130 Maple v Dunham (finals is semis w/ maple and tannenbaum going at it)
135 Means v Nelson
140 Caldwell v Arellano
145 Miller v Gaither
152 Fischer v Snook (barring a accidental dq)
160 Bonewell v Cain (Cain upsets reinhart in semis, gotta give some nepotism)
171 Beard v Witt
189 Baker v Villegas
215 Caylor v Woten/Goens ???
285 Vincent Heighthaus

what about rodger windham at 103 over Ruiz in the semis? and then vesta over Windham in the finals..

6A predictions

103 - Vesta/Windham
112 - Deshazer/Tanenbaum
119 - Barber/Madl
125 - McCormick/Cooper
130 - Maple/Dunham
135 - Means/Nelson
140 - Caldwell/Lutz
145 - Miller/Dosier
152 - Fisher/Snook
160 - Reinhart/Bonewell
171 - Beard/Witt
189 - Long/Deere
215 - Downs/Woten
285 - Heithaus/Westmoreland

Westmoreland has not beaten Vincent...they have never wrestled..

That can be good sometimes. I've seen Vincent wrestle, it could be a good match. Westmoreland is getting better each match. He has won several big matches this year against ranked wrestlers.

6A finals predictions:

103 - Vesta/Ruiz
112 - DeShazer/Tanenbaum
119 - Davis/Barber (I see Davis causing a big upset in the 6a state tournamnet)
125 - McCormick/Cooper
130 - Maple/Dunham
135 - Means/Nelson
140 - Caldwell/Lutz
145 - Miller/Dozier
152 - Fisher/Ringgold
160 - Bonewell/Reinhart
171 - Beard/Witt
189 - Baker/Deere
215 - Downs/Goens
285 - Heithaus/Vincent
