MatKing's Tolono Sectional Predictions

[MatKing]

103-Clark (Orion) my pick to go all the way
112-Bybee/Zurcher-could go either way-2 tough men
119-Dooley (Monticello) tough young kid
125-Fischer (Peoria Hights) not too much competition at 125 in Tolono
130-Lange (GCMS) has what it takes to go all the way, lets see if he can do it
135-Howe (Westville) tough kid
140-Gallo (SJO) has to wrestle to full ablility
145-Taylor (PC) my pick to go all the way
152-Dunlop/Hill could go either way
160-Acree (GCMS) has to wrestle to his ability and with heart
171-Gorman (SJO) he'll be in Champaign easy
189-Rathbun (PC) knows what it takes to be in Champaign
215-Beam (Rockridge) coming back for more
275-Matt Cooper (PC) if he wrestles like he did in Champaign last year he'll go all the way

Let me know what you think

[SJO]

Hill from SJO will take 160. Acree has avoided him, claimed to be hurt, but wrestled two matches a day after our duel.

[a_illinoiswrestling]

I think moody will beat howe, I don't know if they have ever wrestled before. Also Lange is a good bet, but just for kicks i'm gonna say Monkman will upset him.

[illiniwizard133]

I think Cox from orion will take home the championship at 171

[MatKing]

Those are some very good possibilities. but only saturday will tell

[nwilfan]

Taylor lost to Darren Olsen (Dakota) at Orion, 7-2 or 7-4. You think he beats him this time around? (assuming they meet up at state)

[ben]

anyone think that Brown from unity will beat clark?

[a_illinoiswrestling]

I don't want to sound like a jerk, brown is a good wrestler and he has impressed me... But he's not to that level, and unfortunantly he has to beat Clayton Rush from Aledo in the quarters to have his shot at Clark wich wont happen either... Rush vs Brown will be a decent match with Rush beating him without too much trouble, Brown vs Clark would be clark dominating brown... brown doesn't have nearly the strength to compete with clark and clark even hads more technique.

Good luck to him this friday and saturday you'll shut me up if you make it to the finals, but you have 3rd without a problem.

[bubbaboo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Clark pinned Brown earlier this year. I agree, it doesn't matter. Brown will never get through Rush!

[whstigerswrestler]

gallo wrestles 145 and theres a good chance he will face hamilton from bismark in his first match, And he lost to hamilton by quite a bit at the oakwood invite less then 2 weeks ago.

[dodger]

Hamilton will probably have to wrestle into Gallo, because Gallo won regionals as to where Nick got second. I think it will be a great match, but I still pick Hamilton to make it for a third match with Taylor in the Finals.

[dodger]

As much as I hate to admit it, Acree is looking good this year. I think he will take Hill.

[dodger]

I dont see Lange losing a match unitl state. He wont be in the championship, but I wouldnt be surprised to see him come away with third again.

[dodger]

I dont see Dooley beating Knoll a third time. As for Moody and Howe, that will be a great match, hopefully Howe has the confidence to pull off the win, I know he has the ability.

[whstigerswrestler]

Dodger,
You obviousy have never seen dooley and knoll wrestle each other before then. dooley just man handled knoll the last time they wrestled and has beat keith 2xs already(his only losses) Knoll is \great wrestler but im goin t0o have to say its will be a gteat match ut dooley will still take it in the end.

[dodger]

I havent actually seen the matches your right, but I dont see how an overtime win and a two point win can be considered man-handling.
