Sandwich vs. Wilmington

[sanfan00]

Alright, this one will be happening thursday and I would like to know if anybody has any guesses on how it will go. Willie? Lock? I'll post during my lunch break tomorrow, I'm going to watch Sandwich's duel tonight to see what the line-up looks like...

I have followed Wilmington and the I-8 all season and was finally able to see Wilmington and Coal City at Princeton. What a tournament! Anyway, the Wilmington roster I watched at Princeton was different from the one I have seen in box scores in the paper. So, like you, I will attempt to make a prediction either tonight or tomorrow on pure guessing. Right now, I see Wilmington winning in a close match, especially with Vercelli back. I see Wilmington dominating the upper weights and Sandwich dominating the lower weights. As is usual is matches like this, pins and techs will determine the winner. Logic would indicate that since Coal city beat Sandwich and Wilmington beat Coal City that Wilmington will beat Sandwich. Match-ups could be a key, too. More later.

It comes down to what team sandwich will bring...If they bring what they brought to the reaper, this could be close. This is what my best guess is as of right now...

103-Olson (S)
112-Warpecha (S)
119-Rud (S)
125-Flip a coin, Vercelli or Sifft; remach from last years 103s
130-Talley (W)
135-Toss-up, Ryan has the edge with a 3-2 win of White last time
140-Forester (S)
145-Skorup, unless Peters is down, then it's anybodys guess, 2-1 last time in favor of Skorup.
152-Don't know who wilmington has...edge to sandwich with Olson
160-Murphy (W)
171-Dziuben (W)
189-Don't know for either team...
215-Vercelli (W)
275-Young (S)

Here is my guess. If your guys make the weights you say, it could be close. So I'm going to go another direction if they don't make weight.

103 Nelson (W) over Crothers (S)
112 Olson (S) over Goodwin (W)
119 Warpecha (S) over Rodriguez (W)
125 Rud (S) over Vercelli (W)
130 Talley (W) over Sifft (S)
135 Jones (W) over Beltran (S)
140 Combes (W) over White (S) - toss up match
145 Forester (S) over Lockwood (W)
152 Skorup (S) over Peters (W) - toss up match
160 Murphy (W) over Olson (S)
171 Dziuban (W) over Trout (S)
189 Alberico (W) over Servantes (S)
215 Vercelli (W) over Johnson (S)
275 Young (S) over Casillas (W) - not a sure win for Sandwich

Could make for a great night of wrestling. Wilmington may bump around too so who knows what we'll see? I don't even know if some of these Sandwich guys are still wrestling varsity.

I've seen them both. It doesn't look to me as though Sandwich can hang with Wilmington.
