I am very excited for state this year. There are a number of storylines I am eager to watch play out. In no particular order these are my top five narratives as we approach the post season.
1. How will 120 play out? Melendez and Ford-Melton lead the pack no doubt, but Zaccone, Molton, and Lindsey each have the pedigree to blow up the bracket. (FWIW I didn’t include Uribe only because I don’t know much about him, not as a slight)
2. Will Jessen finally win a state title? He has been close all three years but has been stifled thus far.
3. The continued dominance of Anthony Cassioppi. It was an absolute pleasure watching him at last year’s state meet and I can’t wait to see him rule 285 again in 2018. Is he the greatest heavyweight in state history? I think so.
4. The health of Marmion upper weights. For the benefit of deeper brackets and the kids themselves, I really hope Jimenez, Gross, and Ferraro can make it back for the state series.
5. What will be Montini’s impact on the individual state tournament? We know the Broncos are loaded, but when the dust settles, how will they compare against past super teams?
I would love to hear some thoughts and opinions!
