Absolutly. Most definitely if it was dual format and bumping was allowed.
106-Sotelo
113-Drousias
120-Rundell
126-Ragusin
132-Bolivar
138-Benjamin
145-Chumbley
152-Stiles
160-Heller
170-Ferrante
182-Assad
195-Christensen
220-Danweih
285-Guttridge
Sorry but no other high school team beats this all-star team.Comment

I see Blair winning 8-9 of the matches. Bonus points will be big in Blair favor. Blair by 15.Last edited by maddog81; 03-06-2019, 07:39 PM.Comment

I like him a lot, but Danweih replaces Abraham at 220?Originally posted by Predictions View PostComment

Dahnweih is a great wrestler but in my opinion is too small to compete at 220lbs. He bumped up last year and lost to Jimmy Olds 6-3. Jimmy Olds DNP at state at 220lbs last year but did give Dahnweih his worst loss of the season. Olds won on size and strength. Abraham is a different type of wrestler than Olds but Abraham did beat Olds at state last season.Originally Posted By: bwm57

It was also last year and if you think that Blah didn't improve (or is bigger and stronger) on a bad performance from last year, you would be sorely mistaken. And that same year he beat Cadin Koeppel from Cary-Grove by 6 who placed third at 220 lbs. But if you'd like to play the hypothetical game, Blah also pinned Demarco Lee at state last year, who Abraham beat in the finals 4-3.Originally posted by Bulldogwrestler View Post
That said, at 5'9 Blah is too small compete at 220 lbs in that particular meet.Last edited by James_Oliva; 03-06-2019, 09:41 PM.Comment

I said Dahnweih is an great wrestler and there is no arguing that fact. I think we both agree he is too small to compete at 220lbs based off of your comment above.Originally Posted By: James Oliva

I also said Abraham and Olds are two different type wrestlers. Olds was a big strong 220lbs wrestler and was a bad matchup for Dahnweih. Abraham doesn't win on strength but he is a lot bigger than Dahnweih. If they wrestle against each other who knows who wins? I give Abraham the advantage based on size and size alone.Comment

And Koeppel was also big and strong and placed the year before. The year Blah beat him.Originally posted by Bulldogwrestler View Post
Your entire argument was based on him losing to kid who didn't place while ignoring kids he beat that did.Comment

Koeppel was not that big and strong for 220lbs compared to Olds but there is no need to beat a dead horse. No need to go back and forth because I think we both agree Dahnweih is a fantastic wrestler.Originally Posted By: James Oliva

This is what I came up with:
106-Sotelo vs Wask (4 - 0) Sotelo
113-Rundell vs Ryan Miller (7 - 0) Rundell
120 Ramos/Surtin vs Trevor Mastrogiovanni (7- 3) Mastrogiovanni
126-Illinois has 4 guys I would throw out there. All are tough kids, but Michael Colaiocco is on another level, super tough kid. (7-6) Michael Colaiocco
132-Bolivar vs Shayne Van Ness (7-9) Shayne Van Ness
138- Odom vs Travis Mastrogiovanni (7-12) Travis Mastrogiovanni
145-Chumbley vs Josh Gobencion (13-12) Chumbley
152-Stiles vs Nick Incontera (16 - 12) Stiles
160-Fernandes vs Dom Mata (16 - 16) Dom Mata
170-Ferrante vs Julian Ramirez (16 - 19) Julian Ramirez
182-Assad vs Peyton Craft (19 -19) Assad
195-Christensen vs Sanoussi Kane (25 - 19) Christensen
220-Abraham vs Owen Trephan (25 -25) Owen Trephan
285-Guttridge vs Eli Anthony (28 - 25) Guttridge
Illinois gets the win! Pack your Bags Blair you suck! Breaking this down, just shows how ridiculous Blair is.

This also shows how ridiculous the situation is.Originally posted by gulach View Post
On one hand you have an Illinois team having taken most of their wrestlers from teams who recruit from the best of the state/area, on the other, you have Blair taking most of their wrestlers from the best of the country.
Illinois could win, but the toss-ups and bonus points obviously would be the determining factor.Comment

I like gulach line up better except Luffman is my 285.Comment

Yes, agree Luffman would fit in very nice at 285.
Why don't more schools follow the Blair model?Comment
