Westland Sectional

• Mutt cuts

  Alright, off to the races. Teams involved:
  Westland
  West
  Groveport
  Reynoldsburg
  Marion Franklin
  Central Crossing
  Westerville Central
  Dublin Scioto
  Dublin Jerome
  Worthington Kilborne
  Olentangy Orange
  Westerville North
  Lancaster
  
  Easily the weakest of the three sectionals, but I also beleive this sectional has some of the younger teams in the area that may leap to the front in the coming years. Quick run down of weights in no particular order. I know I'm forgetting some, just throwing out a few names
  
  in no particular order
  103
  Spearman- Lancaster
  Straughter- Reynoldsburg
  Wimer- Central Crossing
  Carbajal- Scioto
  Shaut- Kilborne
  Disabato- w. north
  -looks like a potetial repeat of last years sectional final between Spearman and Straughter.
  
  112
  Herrara- w. north
  Chang- Reynoldsburg
  Householder- Central Crossing
  Comfort- Jerome
  Workman- Gport
  -I like Herrara and Chang for the finals. Should be a great match
  
  119
  Jurcisek- Orange
  Thomas- Central Crossing
  Stroupe- Lancaster
  Who else? Stroupe probably techs his way to the title
  
  125
  Haslem- Westalnd
  Varazashvili- Kilborne
  K. Farns- Central Crossing
  Davis- Lancaster
  - I'm taking an outside shot and saying the Davis beats out the prohibitive favorite Haslam.
  
  130
  Super weak weight. Couldn't even tell you a name.
  
  135
  Reynolds- Gport
  Hauber- Central Crossing
  Alger- W. North
  -top heavy weight class. I give the nod to Alger, if he is indeed at this weight.
  
  140
  Hardy- Central Crossing
  Jones- Marion Franklin
  Syfers- Reynoldsburg
  -Hardy has the experience, but Jones is an athletic speciman. Edge to Hardy
  
  145
  Clinkscales- w. central
  Toprani- Orange
  -Toprani techs his way to a sectional title
  
  152
  Moore- Orange
  Hysell- Central Crossing
  Carbajal- Scioto
  Johnston-Reynoldsburg
  -weak weight, probably some unnamed other will take the top four spots
  
  160
  Pickett- CC
  Brown- W. Central
  Hoover- Reynoldsburg
  Jones?- Marion Franklin
  -Easily the best weight of the sectional. Top three could challenge for state qualifications. First two are proven, Hoover has shown promise (7th at Brecksville last year), but has yet to transfer that to post-season success.
  
  171
  Duffy- W. Central
  -Bad weight class, usually one of the better weights at a sectional.
  
  189
  Bressman- Kilborne
  King- Westland
  Reed- Reynoldsburg
  -pretty open weight. Marion usually has pretty good athletes here. Anyone's to win.
  
  215
  King- Scioto
  -One horse race!!
  
  285
  McNabb- W. Central
  Gray- M. Franklin
  Henry- G.M
  -pretty open weight as well
  
  I know that there are many more names out there. I was just throwing a couple out. Most of these weights are anyone's to gain. There may be some sectional champs here who would not even make it out of the other two sectionals. Good opportunity for young teams to qualify a lot to the next level. Team wise Lancaster should run away with the title. I know little about Westerville North except that they have a very young talented team, but inexperienced. I'll put Central Crossing up for second followed by either North, Kilborne, Orange or Reynoldsburg for third.

  171 sobeich westerville north

  i have no idea how i forgot him..haaha
• cruiser_96

  

  Gundling impressed me a great deal on Saturday. Very strong and tight in technique. Excellent showing, I thought. Ouzts is tough as well. Another one to watch for is Nicholson from Jerome... Personal opinion; he wins it and wins the finals by 6.
  
  Gee. All of the sudden, 130 ain't half bad.
• double arm bars

  The Central DI sectionals are all real balanced this year.
• Cthelites

  Im a bit surprised at saying Haslaam is the "prohibited favorite" at 125 since Varazashvili already beat him.

  Haslem beat Varazashvilli 1-0

  I actually thought it was the other way.
  Either way neither would be "prohibitive" in my book they looked pretty equal.

  Didn't the 130 from Lancaster give McDougle a heck of a match?

  Delouse(sp?)?
• playground legend

  #125 davis lancaster already beat haslem 5-0 i believe early in the season. #130 is clearly a two horse race with outz and nicholson furlongs ahead of the rest of the field.

  Dont rule out Varazashvilli, he has surprised people this year.
• Standoff22

  Here are my predictions for this sectional. I don't know of everyone so sorry if I miss anyone.
  
  103. 1. Spearman (LN) 2. Straughter (RB) 3. Shaut (WK) 4. Wimer (CC)
  112. 1. Herrera (WN) 2. Cheng (RB) 3. Comfort (DJ) 4. Householder (CC)
  119. 1. Strope (LN) 2. Rey (WL) 3. Jurcisek (OO) 4. Youmans (WN)
  125. 1. Davis (LN) 2. Vazashervilli 3. Haslam (WL) 4. Duriex (WN)
  130. 1. Outz (WN) 2. Gundling 3. Nicholson (DJ)
  135. 1. Alger (WN) 2. Hauber (CC) 3. Dawson (OO) Reynolds (GM)
  140. Jones (MF) 2. Syfers (RB) 3. Austin (DJ)

  160. 1. Picket (CC) 2. Brown (WC) 3. Hoover (RB) 4. Jones (MF)
  I need some help with 171 and up. Icant find too much on any upper weights from these teams.
• Westie101

  

  at 160 the marion franklin kids name is michael patrick not jones and he owns a victory by fall over hoover.
• superduck313

  Ouzts has wrestled Nicholson before and pinned him first period.
• superduck313

  my predictions at 130 would be 1. Ouzts(owns a fall over nicholson) 2.Nicholson 3. Gundling.
• superduck313

  at 119 you have returning district qualifier Youmans(WN) and at 125 freshman nick durieux (WN) owns a win over state placer branham. He may not have a shot at winning but can definately stir things up'
• Sid

  Lowsingle174? is Jones going to be 135 or 140? Sorry if I missed it before.

  Agreed Duriex is tough, he made the wise decision to bump up. He could make quite a run this year.
• lowsingle174

  Lancaster also has a very tough 140lber.
  Jones will be at 140 for sectionals. He is athletic as heck, but has also learned how to wrestle pretty well in the last year. I will still give an edge to hardy based on experience if he is here, although IMO athleticism is the great equalizer. It should be fun to say the least. Good luck and stay healthy these next couple of weeks.
• Sid

  Youmans are great kids. But, Duriex win over Branham is kinda fluky. Branhan loses to Disabato 7-5 in ot. Duriex would probably not make it out of the first period vs Disabato. Look at both of their bodies of work this year. He may make Districts because hes in a weak group at sectionals and at a light weight. No offense but just an opinion. On an off note why wasnt Outz on the Brakeman?! HUGE miss!
• Sid

  Myers from Jerome is a tough out here from Jerome! Sobeich, Duffy and Myers come out of this one at 171...not sure of the order though
