Born and raised in Illinois and i know line in Minnesota. i have been to both and i would have to say Ill hands down.

Both are awesome, but MN can get pretty interesting. It goes from Wednesday to Saturday with both the individual and dual team tournaments being competed. Its not unusual for a kid to win a state championship then lose in a dual meet the following round. I dont know if I would enjoy it as a wrestler, but plenty of drama for the fans.

Your so right its also cool to see some 7th or 8th graders win titles

Interesting. That would make the coaching strategy a little different too. You don't get the extra time to cut a wrestler's weight in order to adjust dual match-ups.

ok so back to the thread, lol, no one thinks terrazas is going to win? after the way he wrestled monaco, which was just constant action and attack, i might give him an edge in the finals battle, he just knows how to turn it on and keep it close in those matches that matter

look at basil boy comin to support his teamates how cute... idk though terrazas has a possibility... but like i've said... whoever is hot that weekend will win that weight... its stacked but i have to say munster is the front runner... nobody beaten him yet...

[Basilthomas]

I think you are right about Terrazas. He is getting overlooked in this discussion. I have seen both of his matches with Monaco. In each match the guy trailing made a move in the final seconds to get the win. I wonder if the guy who was leading made a mistake by just trying to hold on or was it just a case of great hustle to pull it out?

I think we have a couple more matches left to enjoy between these two. I know many are picking 119 as the top weight class but my vote goes to the 140 pound meatgrinder.

Its not like he controlled the match the whole time. I mean he got the takedown with like 2 seconds to go. Now im not taking anything away from him because that is a huge win, but I dont think Monaco is the best 140lber out there, what im saying is Terrazas is gonna have to wrestle much better than a takedown at the end of the match to win 140 this year. This is all just my opinion.. the good thing is that in 2 weeks all our questions and opinions will be answered!!

I'm predicting the "Funky Farmer" to take it all at 140bs.
