Caldwell will pin his way though
Posted By: Oldtimeplayer Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/17/06 02:15 PM
Thats a bold statement. It's one thing to say someone is going to win, but to say pin his way to a title is a little to much. I think there will be a few in the bracket that would beg to differ. My prodiction - Caldwell will not be State Champ this year.

/WOW! WOW!

6A rankings from Feb 17th, 2006

1-Caldwell
2-Ankeman
3-Kozlowski
4-Creekmore
5-Maple
6-Stephens

1 & 2 Same region (Goddard)
3,4,5,6 Same region (Derby)

I guess 112 at those other regions should be smiling real big!

Can't wait to seed this mess! I think they have all beaten each other in one aspect or another!

THAT'S a bold statement Oldtimeplayer. I've seen Caldwell wrestle and I have to disagree, he has taken it to the best and I've seen him pin 2 very good, no, great wrestlers in Joey Stephens and PAULIE HANSON. Caldwell=State Champ. PERIOD!

I think Maple is going to do better then 4th place. But Caldwell is a very good wrestler but I wouldn't state that he is going to pin his way through state. That is a strong satement, but good luck to kids in 6A.

Well Caldwell started to help my statement come true, pinning the number 2 ranked wrestler for the second time this year

Well everyone in the 112lb bracket at state better just stay home. Caldwell has it won already. If you do show up, you better be ready to start counting the lights in the ceiling.

The way I look at it, Caldwell is one step closer to making my prediction come true.

how many pins does caldwell have this year? or better yet, how many people has he not pinned?
Posted By: lost in space Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/20/06 02:29 AM
Pelswick rufus and basil---

Caldwell has:
30 pins
4 tech falls
1 major decision - Luedke, Colby 4A

no minors, no losses.

no one has a crystal ball, nothing's a sure thing. But I know what mat I'll be watching when the boy pulls the straps up on his singlet!
Posted By: Mike Church Sr. Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/20/06 03:23 AM
lol thats one heck of a record. I'd like to compare that to some of the great 4 timer's of the past!!! Oldtimeplayer,exactly what way are you looking at it!
Posted By: Oldtimeplayer Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/20/06 03:55 AM
I don't think I've ever questions that Caldwell is a good wrestler. State is a big stage. Being an underclassman in that arena can be overwhelming. All it takes is just 1 mistake with the field that is loaded with talent and older classmen that have seen & experienced state. You tell me that a senior wrestling his last matches of his career isn’t going to come at him with everything he’s got. What a way to go out. Win a huge match against him and place at state. Sounds like great motivation to me to beat him or at least keep him from getting pinned. He may be the next up & coming 4X’er, but maybe not. He will have his day I’m sure. Good luck to all the wrestlers. They all have worked hard to get to the big stage.

not saying he will get beat, but if you have ever been around state more than a couple of years, you can agree with me that kids have come in with records like that of caldwell and been beaten. two that come to mind recently are ely last year: everyone thought he was a lock and he was rolling until he got just destroyed by altman in the semis. another was stew bogart i believe his freshmen year. he had beat james ball from BVNW 4 or 5 times that year and ball whopped him in the state finals. ANYTHING can happen. that's why it's the best sport in the world!!!

Oldtimeplayer and Vikes,

Caldwell will make ANYONE who even thinks thay have a chance look very very Foolish. I have just seen it happen too many times!! The tougher the kid the worse his chances to not get embarrassed. Another Goddard Kid (Beard 152) virtually has the same MO!
Posted By: Oldtimeplayer Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/20/06 09:12 PM
JayHawkster,

You are one of those that can't see the whole picture because of your blindness of Goddard pride. I have no problem in believing in a wrestler. If he does run the table, then great job. But please back off. The know one has a chance mode, will ya. Now you’re telling me you have another 4x stud. I can tell you exactly a match you’re Mr. Beard (I have respect for this kid) should have lost, but to a very questionable call, he won. Maybe you need to talk to the Goddard Coach on this statement you’ve made. He even agrees it was a questionable call and Mr. Beard should have lost that match. (I’ve got video to back up my claims on the call). I don’t wish either boy bad luck. If it’s meant to be it will happen. I just get tired of the one side conversations on Caldwell. He better leave to go to state on Wednesday. He will have a long climb down of the pedestal you all have put him on.

jayhawker-

i'm sure caldwell doesn't need someone to do his talking for him. i know that he is a very good wrestler, and never said he would lose. obviously you are young and excited about the chances goddard has of winning a state championship, but you need to calm down and worry about yourself.
Posted By: JayHawkster Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/21/06 01:41 AM
Oldtimeplayer and Vikes,

I appreciate ya alls comments. I did sound kinda young and cocky. Actually I'm not that young and I hate cocky attitudes. Caldwell could use a good humbleing and someday he'll get it. I'm telling you though the tougher the kid the harder and faster they have fallen against Him!!!

So you're saying if my 74yr old mom went out there she could put him to sleep or what?

Probably not, but if you follow the logical end...
Posted By: Oldtimeplayer Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/22/06 03:25 AM
But thats not as fun!!

Hope everyone has a safe weekend wrestling. Good luck to all.
Posted By: BigPin22 Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/24/06 06:24 PM
He is now officially one step closer to pinning his way through state!
Posted By: BigPin22 Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/24/06 09:49 PM
two steps closer!
Posted By: BigPin22 Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/24/06 11:50 PM
three steps closer!

Only one to go!!

oldtimeplayer - who should Beard have lost to ( the questionable call thing that you make mention of above)?
Posted By: Undertaker Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/26/06 10:37 PM
Old time player I guess Tyler made my statement true. He pinned his way though it all. Great job Tyler
Posted By: Oldtimeplayer Re: 6A 112lb predictions - 02/27/06 04:55 AM
Congratulations to both boys & the whole Goddard team, they deserved their titles. It will be interesting to follow the boys as they move up in the weights as they get older & grow. I hadn’t really studied Goddards line-up, I was just wondering how many senior wrestlers they will lose & how they reload for next year.

As far as who I was picking for Caldwell to see in the finals was Stephens & he did get there. Caldwell wrestled his match and dominated Stephens. I figured the drive for Stevens to get a rematch with Caldwell after what happened earlier this year would get him to the finals and it did. I was glad to see Caldwell not do a repeat & show some class in winning a title. Good job.
