[brawlers dad]

gregorson is gonna win both 130 and 140?

[Geezus]

gregorson is gonna win both 130 and 140?


YES! He is that good!

[Mr. White]

gregorson is gonna win both 130 and 140?
It also looks as though he will win AA and AAA, just like the many others on Geezus's list.

CONDOR- very good predictions. The weights are kind of tough to determine now, but your guesses are as good as anyone else's.

ur insane. no way saunders will win, gregerson isnt even AAA, and im sure he cant win at two weights, cooper will not be 112, christ divito might not even break the lineup, plus montini isnt even AAA, and where is boggess. did u forget he took second place last year?

[Geezus]

Friends, those are just favorites. There is a difference between favorites and predictions. That list was all of my favorite wrestlers I enjoy watching not who is going to win the whole thing. Geez, I already know who is going to win the individual state titles however I will let the season play out and give my "predictions" in February. You know I can't hold all your hands and spoil the EXCITING season we have ahead of us.

[maddog0117]

Maybe we should try to talk to some "insiders" and try to see how lineups for some of the schools are suppose to plan out.

Walsh winning 145? did he even place in catholic league last year?

145???-same
171-Pete Damiani

id like to see a wojcik/boggess matchup. but if they arnt the same weight, id say they both have serious shots at winning state this year.

Ross Ferraro would have a hard time even making state at AAA let alone be the favorite to win. Not to mention no chase, ramos or morrison and that Montini is AA so none of these picks make sense

[MR TWISTER]

Somewhere in there you have to put the state runner up Matt Boggess of Prospect at 135 or 140.

And you also have to consider Marian's Mark Marianovich as well...at 135 or 140 too.

These are two of the top ten wrestlers in the state and have to be considered in any discussion of favorites.

And I agree if you are not listing Jimmy Chase, Jon Morrison or Tony Ramos how can we consider your list as a serious list?

For that matter Lee Munster is always a threat as a former state champion. Come on now....who made that list ....in the dark?

[Formerwrestler]

I think he was just picking his favorite guys that he wants too win eventhough he knows it's not even 1% realistic!

Oh...tell me something....because I was scratching my head on this one....well then it makes sense.

[Dynasty11]

Who has the best shot at 103? now that klimaras not going

[Formerwrestler]

I think 103 is a tough weight to pick. First it's hard to even say who from last year is gonna make 103 again. If thats the case, I would say Chris Williams has a decent shot at it, but definitely no shoe-in! He got third last year!

[still alive]

there is no way chris williams makes 103 ever again in his life

[FOXVALLEYDAD]

Who has the best shot at 103? now that klimaras not going

Winning it is a tough call.

I think Doug Moravic from WV will do well if he can make the weight again. He is a Sr this year. I think Frankin Mckowen from Naperville North will also do well. My dark horse may be Eddie Greco from Marmion... The Glenbard North kid should do well also....

Not sure if any of them will win it or make it to sate, but they should all have success this season. They should also all be in the same Regional.

[Formerwrestler]

Yeah, just got some info, they said he is going 119....Not even gonna make 112, let alone 103....

[village1313]

First of all Isnt Munster going 171???
Second of all, Geezus if these are your favorites how cant you favorite Someone like Ramos?? He is a nose to the grindstone type of wrestler!! If you beat him you are leaving that match either lucky ORRRR severly beat up.

This is how i see the rankings?


103- Not familiar with 103 this year it lost alot from last year either from graduation or moving up in the weights 103 is a freshman class.
112- 1.Keith Surber

119- 1.Edwin Cooper

125- 1.Jon Morrison
2.Chris/Nick Dardanes(There Twins Who knows which ones which)
130- 1.Tony Ramos
2. Dardanes again
135- 1. Jimmy Chase
2. Mark Marinovich(Sorry if i bashed the name)
140- 1. Matt Boggess
2. Elis Coleman
145- 1. Bobby Barnheisel
2.Matt Walters
152- 1. HELP ME
2. OUT!!!!
160-1.Mark Stenberg
171- 1. Carl Foreside
2.Matt Dweyar

I can only get up to 171 without contemplating my knowledge of the wrestlers in the upper weights. I put these wrestlers where i thought the should be based on the salivia in their mouth for that state championship. I also put it in because of there wrestling ability Now some will say well no Sh**! But im saying old School Wrestling where you come of the mat with just a bruise on your forehead it was a COMFORTABLE match. Please dont bash i am no expert in predicting winners i would like to just throw my opinion out there.

GOOD LUCK TO THE WRESTLERS!! AND LETS START ANOTHER GREAT SEASON!!!

[wnumuno]

Who has the best shot at 103? now that klimaras not going

I would keep an eye out for Shane Michelsen of Libertyville, he'll be a senior at 103 this year, he was freestyle state champ at junior 105 this year

[Dynasty11]

First of all Isnt Munster going 171???
Second of all, Geezus if these are your favorites how cant you favorite Someone like Ramos?? He is a nose to the grindstone type of wrestler!! If you beat him you are leaving that match either lucky ORRRR severly beat up.

103: Shane Michelsen, Trevor Jaunch, Derek Elmore, Cody Zimmerman, Tyler Larson? Will they do something?

[anklepick]

klimara will not be at 103

I know for a fact that Klimara is wrestling 103 and Cooper will be at 112 for PCHS. If you don't believe me wait and see at Conant.

[thego2guy]

Elmore will win at 103 this year.

[neilyoung]

There are a few people in the dark that will be revealed in due time. Anyone that you think will win it at 103, you might even want to wait until the finals match at state to pick a champ.

[Dynasty11]

Elmore from harlem?

[Don@275]

Don't forget Goszinski from GBN 112 or 119, he took 6th at 103 as a freshman and I'm pretty sure he had trouble with weight, at the end of the year. He could be a lot stronger at a heavier weight.

[ILwrestler*]

id watch out for shane michelson at 103 from libertyville

[Hans]

Neil, love your music maybe you can elaborate on you statement. I agree with you in that many lightweight wrestlers can slide under the radar but what you claim to have someone in mind? Who??

[FlookyouUNo]

word on the street is eliase larson is going 145 :0~!

[neilyoung]

I would love to enlighten you on who, I just can't because that would ruin the benefit of being in the dark. All I'm saying is that there's someone inperticular who's going to be doing some damage at 103.

[Dynasty11]

for 103: Cody Zimmerman, Shane Michelson, Derek Elmore, and Brett Lunn Those are the one's I can think of of the top of my head. And all these wrestlers will be wrestling at the Dvorak this year.

[Hwt_Wrestler]

Even if klimara was 103 i dont think he would take state as a freshman but definetly place

[Dynasty11]

Even if klimara was 103 i dont think he would take state as a freshman but definetly place
I think your right. But he is one tough wrestler

[MR TWISTER]

You guys are putting a lot of pressure on this freshman. I hope he lives up to it. It kind of reminds me of what was said about Cooper last year. And in the end he came up a bit short. Great season but too much was expected from the fans in my opinon. Same fans, same team. Hopefully not the same results, for the young mans benefit.

yea but last year nowry was the returning 103 man. This year there seems to be no favorite returning 103 pounder.

[Joe_Predicto]

Folks,

Do not forget about A.J. Smith (Marist) at 189, if he keeps his
head on straight ALL YEAR, he will be tough to beat......

[Dynasty11]

yea but last year nowry was the returning 103 man. This year there seems to be no favorite returning 103 pounder.
Yes thats true.. But for this year looking at the other forum Klimara is Wrestling Copper off for the 112lbs spot. So the kids im going to be keeping my eye on are Cody Zimmerman -St Rita, Shane Michelson -Libertyville, Derek Elmore -Harlem, and Brett Lunn -Edwardsville

[Hwt_Wrestler]

kilmara vs copper ... copper wins and goes 112 but kilmara could go 119 if there isnt a gladiator already at the weight..

and avoids the turkey dinners!

for 103: Cody Zimmerman, Shane Michelson, Derek Elmore, and Brett Lunn Those are the one's I can think of of the top of my head. And all these wrestlers will be wrestling at the Dvorak this year. Derek Elmore is a big 103 ounder this year. Last year he was barely 100.

[mckbln]

Folks,

Yes he will.

[StinkyPete2]

You can't count out Sean Raddatz from Marist. Last year he beat Zimmerman pretty badly and kept up with Cooper and Brody

[StinkyPete2]

Smith is a dominant wrestler and he's out there to win state. He won't have any problems staying focused.
