"Unofficial" Team Champion

[crazyrunner1215]

I don't think Cobden has a wrestling team, but Appleknockers would bring a whole new meaning to any headslaps.

Hoopeston Area in 1A qualified a couple. They are the Cornjerkers.

Sheet? Those brackets are bigger than most compact cars! You may have to rent a Ford F-150 to get that baby back to campus

Would be nice to have on hanging in the basement though!

They played my Pekin Chinks in the state basketball tournament back in the 60's. It was a classic "Hoosiers" story except they lost.

Funniest and probably most racist mascot used to be in Pekin. Now the Red Dragons, correct?

Just the Dragons. We never thought much about it. At the basketball games we used to have a Chink and Chinklet that dressed in traditional Japanese attire and went out to center court to welcome the other team. It was an honor to be chosen for that position. Kind of like Chief Illiniwick. Even the movie theatre was decorated with Buda statues, pagodas and other Japanese artifacts. Times have changed, I guess.

Without too much thought, 4 teams teams stick out to me.

GBN-Cortez and Murphy sure finalists, Gosinski, Gonzo, Browne, Marmolejo all could
place.

Sandburg-Robertson, Pique, Holler high placers, Pellegrino bros, Cook, Garcia will all win matches and could place

OPRF-Brooks heavy favorite, with Rundell, Mahomes, Early with high placing potential. Have a good supporting cast that will win matches and possibly place as well

Lockport- With 2 heavy favorites in McMurtry and Johnson, will definitely score lots of points. Strelcyzk and Rossi will win matches and probably place as well.

I'd say pick one of GBN/Sandburg/OPRF to win, with Lockport behind the others

If OPRF gets titles from Rundell and Brooks, and both Early and Mahomes get into the 3rd place matches...nobody will beat out OPRF; Cam Harris and Michael Woulfe are potential placers at 132 and 160. Based on their draws, it will be tough for Gahagan and Ariola.
Interesting to note that OPRF would have won the Individual State tournament in both 2009 and 2010...the 2010 team set the record for the new 3A class with 3 champs and a 3rd place.

Brooks is a heavy favorite to win 82. I like rundell at least to make it to the finals, but cullen may have something to say about it. 106 is gonna be fun. I do think early will place high maybe 3rd or possibly higher. Mahomes will be lucky to make the third place match. I think max murph is highly probable final. Mahomes is gonna have to fight and claw through a top heavy weight to even make 3rd place match.


I read your post about his match vs max. I hope for his sake he uses it as fuel for state.

yeah, times have changed....

For the better. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

...and none of this has anything to do with team champions...

I would also mention that in 2A while Marmion Academy lost to Montini by 1 point in the regionals, the Cadets absolutely dominated the 2A Individual state tournament by winning 5 titles...Jiminez, Cortez, Fisher, Whitford, and Brill if I recall correctly...
