  i know they have the walters kid at 52 who has a great shot at winning a state title this year, im not sure how many seniors they had last year though.

  Not yet....we'll see. But I think he'll make it...would sure be nice to get the extra 2 lbs. at Medina.
  
  No love for King? Isn't this strictly by Criteria? Where is Cameron Longwell (Darby)...expected him to be at 119 or 125? He was out last Sat., but I thought he'd be back.
  
  One question......how do they set up the 130 pools? If all 13 guys weigh in, there will be one too many. With the 5 match daily limit, you couldn't just add #13 to a pool....you're limited to 3-man pools. Maybe #12, and #13 will wrestle a rat-tail to get into one of the pools? I'm sure Cruiser will have an answer!!

  Yes. I do have an answer. But I've been asked to keep quiet until Saturday!
  
  Actually, Coach Harris is setting up a contengency plan (I think he has one or two options). I think he's going to sit on those until after weigh-ins. If one of the wrestlers fails to show or fails a skin check, or even doesn't make weight, it'll make it easy!
• bw133

  135 and 189 look to be potentially great weight classes to watch.. IMO each weight class has some solid talent
• boro fan

  I live in Reminderville, great place HAHA. Chanel will be without 3 SQ's from last year in Tschantz, Walden and Collier. Makes the team race a little more competitive.
• Dad4Sports

  In addition to 130 lbs., I just noticed 215 lbs also has 13 entrants.......
  
  Will be interesting to see if the "contingency plan" is forced into action......and what it is
• cruiser_96

  

  Brackets I think for those two. And that's IF... IF... IF after weigh-ins, there are still 13.
  
  By the way, I have the rough draft of the brackets already!!! Wouln't YOU like to see them, oh master of the cut and paste!!!

  You're killing me....
  
  So only 3/4 matches for some of those those kids? Don't like that plan at all...
• cruiser_96

  

  Okay, we'll have Coach Harris cut out Chanel, and then EVERYBODY will get 2, 3 or 4 matches. All thanks to you!!!!!!!! Just razzin. I'm sure it'll all work out.
• USMCdevil05

  

  Ya know telling us you have the brackets is not fair game at all buddy! I have a mind to drive to the port and give you a peace of my mind! Well it would be a peacful peace filled with flowers and chilli cheese burritos as a bribe for the brackets!

  Nah....full pools everyone will get 5 matches. I'm looking forward to watching Chanel.....great addition. I would have added them in a heart-beat too!
• USMCdevil05

  

  yea theyn bring alot of quality kids to this tournament.
• boro fan

  Chanel will be moving up with some seeds, they forgot to enter sectional results but emailed them in because the baumspage page locked. Coghlan, Porter and Smith should all move up.

  19,71,215
  Did they make any noise at Districts?
  Hows the frosh DeCesare doing so far?
• boro fan

  119 Coghlan took 3rd at sectionals and went 1-2 at districts
  171 Porter took 3rd at sectionals and went 2-2 at districts
  215 Smith took 3rd at sectionals, he won his first two and lost both semi matches, he lost the match to go 7-5, he is an absolute freak, a mix of strength and speed. He is getting better everyweek and he willl make it to Columbus for sure, he was 4th NHSCA Sophomore Nationals this past year.
  
  DeCesare placed 5th at the Solon Comet Classic, not bad for a Freshman's first tournament.
• Sid

  At 215 how many were there at NHSCA nationals? No disrespect but I'm thinking not many. 14 maybe? Plus, ur best 215lbrs play ball or prep for it in the off season.
• boro fan

  28 kids in the bracket and he plays football as well.
• Sid

  Sweet! A Soph kid who got 3rd at his sectionals can place at Nationals. I dont remember there being anywhere near that many in that weight class. Thats awsome. Go Ohio!
• Dad4Sports

  Chanel dominated......winning 8 weight classes. 103 and then swept 145-285!!
  
  Very impressive group....didn't need the 3 missing starters!
