This year is kinda diffrent then before alot of these schools had a hard time filling weight classes. There are only maybe five weight classes that can almost be for sure then there are weight classes that can go eaither way i think were in for alot of good action can't wait but like i said theirs alot of good talent out there look for some upsets.

I like Spear hope him the best I always cheer for the East kids but I have him losing to Guttierez 2X Quarters and for 3/4 so I don't see where I didn't show him love I just think Guttierez is better. 135 there is 4 kids who could win. The only thing I think could be different is he could be 3 instead of 4 because I think Dominguez is the front runner. Vaught got the pretty easy ride to the finals on the other side.
I saw Baldenado who lost to Jacob Daniels last year at regionals and he got it handed to him. Daniels didn't even place last year and probably being that he is way over his weight at 160 won't place this year. That is why I think he will choke against Hart, Mendivil or If they both get there Bodea. Trust me I have seen Baldenado plenty. I don't wish the kid bad luck because he is the only one in the East that can win so I kinda hope he does but don't think so. At least we are getting some good talk these boards have been boring lately. Keep it up haha

Baldonado did loose to jacob but he beat bodea in state so if like you say bodea can make it to the third quater he might have a chance mindevel i dont see him beating safford. ive seen bodea and mindevel wrestle alot not to impresive mindevel will get his points then stall out.

Has anyone noticed that the brackets change overnight? I noticed that the 189 brackets changed quite a bit.

"Classic example Jimmy Brookbank of Show Low was 3 seed behind Mortenson SF and McCarty PAY, Mortenson gets ringworm McCarty gets overconfident, Jimmy Brookbank State Champ so it happens all the time."


That doesn't happen all the time and hope to hanna it doesnt happen again!

Talk about UGLY, try that experience on for size and see how you feel when you are done.........

A new bracketing was sent out, adjustments made due to "transmission" problems.

And I quote:
We had a few cases where during the transmission of the seeding to me on Sunday, some of the #8 seeds got omitted. Last year, a few weight classes didn’t have 8 seeds, just 7. So, I assumed that. It turns out I was wrong. Thus, I had to redraw a few brackets.

Also quote:

I got some calls and e-mails about the seeding. Jorge Mendivil (Empire) is the chair of the seeding committee. I had nothing to really do with the seeding. The committee seeded the top 8 wrestlers. Keep in mind that the region tournament, in the eyes of the committee, is just one more tournament to look at. Then, I drew in the remaining eight.
