Lemme give this one a try:
103 - Crumbliss, Deshazer, Metzler, Bird (Either Metzler or Deshazer going to be in finals, depends on which side Crumbliss is on at state)
112 - Harding, Manis, Elliot, Edgemon
119 - Gardner, Brown, Knox, Madden (all going to depend on where the regionals are at state), either going to be Brown or Knox in the finals, whichever doesn't draw Gardner in the Semi's)
125 - Baldridge, Cornejo, Curl, Anstine
130 - Ashpole, Rogers, Lewis, McCreary
135 - Zouzas, Bruce, Flamez, Pfannenstiel
140 - Riley, Buck, Johnston, Swanson
145 - Miller, Loos, Harris, Spaht
152 - Pietrzyk, Reedy, Jonas, Mullins
160 - Hart, Figge, Stewart, Jackson
171 - Sponsel, Payne, Steinmetz, Malloy
189 - Richardson, Sponsel, Wassinger, Monks
215 - Cullor, Bruce, Hernandez, Crosson
275 - Vogeli, Gray, Duffy, Payne

Just picks, no need to get mad if I left anyone's boyfriend off.

I agree with the poll....there should definitely be four placers in each weight at State.100% poll results.

Pull My Finger- I'll only comment on the 152 weight class. George Sponsel beat Gavin Jonas last week at a dual.

The Pittsburg 130 is good.

hey pull my finger i think bird has a better shot at making it to the finals than metzler bird placed higher at BVNW too

Once again i am goin to say that if Karl Brown and Tanner Garnder meet in the finals, Karl Brown is goin to pull it out. he has been way to close to many times and he is going to win one of there matches sometime.

way to close way to many times? I don't think so. Gardner pinned Brown 2 times last year. The score this year i think was 13-6, which isn't even close. The match was a fluke. Brown caught Gardner in a scramble to score his 5 points. No one, including Brown, can touch Gardner on his feet. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gardner tech-fall him or pin him

hernandez will win it voegeli will win it Frankie Jonas will place top 4 at 145 and Gavin will make finals

Well said, but Tanner was faced with a similiar situation last year at kids state. He met up with Knox in the quarters I think. Obviously everyone thought Tanner would kill him, as he had just came off an undefeated season. Tanner wrestles up to matches though. I think he beat Knox 16-3. Knox almost had him in the snake a couple times, but it was obvious Tanner had worked on countering that. Just thought i'd put in my 2 cents. Both are great young wrestlers and good luck to both at state.

I dont think that Hart should be ranked first. He almost lost to Hayden's Kyle Ingenthron at League tourny. like 18-16 i think. ya have to give kyle some credit there though. But Hart is cheap.

what do you mean hart is cheap. Ingenthron came out hard in the 1st period and worked hart pretty well but ingenthron got dominated the 2nd and 3rd. Hart was in better shape and it showed in the match. There was nothing cheap about that match ,and if your referring to the slam that happened with like 10 seconds left it was just hard wrestling.

Copenhagen:
Hernandez will not win it, I put him in the top 3 because he will get the first take down and then stall out the rest of the match. He is in terrible shape and will not be able to hang at the state meet. He'll be lucky to win his regional this weekend. Vogeli has a very legitimate shot at it though, I hadn't seen him all year until this past weekend and he looked very good (a lot more athletic than I remember him from last year), good luck to him. I wasn't all that impressed with his performance and as far as Gavin is concerned, I wouldn't put it past him to make the finals, but i would definitely be surprised. Nothing against Gavin, he is good, i just don't think he is good enough to make the finals.

well i agree with you i especially didnt pick him to take third at last years meet. That surprised everyone i think. He just sucks it up for the state meet and i think he will realize that he can beat some of these people and he will go out and do it. Yes hernandez is in horrible shape but ive talked to him and he knows this is his last shot at a state title and i thik he will work his tale off the next couple of weeks to get himself in the shape he needs to be in. Voegeli has come a long way and i don think he has a shot to win it. Dont overlook frankie jonas at 145 though he has a legitimate shot to place top 4 might even surprise a few people.

I think the last two weeks in a season are a bit too late to improve your conditioning. If you work too hard to improve your conditioning, then you legs are going to be weak from all the training and your body won't be able to handle it. Basically training too hard in too short of a period of time will actually wear you out more. We'll see if this last ditch conditioning effort pays off, but I doubt it. I guess the last two years, the drive just wasn't there to train the way he needed to?
