  Will Big Walnuts lightweight Crum be wrestling by the sectional?
• lowsingle174

  Whitehall will run away with the team title. I'm not sure who else challenges. I do know that this is the time of year when you can see which kids want to be finished! We will see who can keep it together the longest as a squad.
  
  Any outstanding weight classes here? I'm not really familiar with what is going on. I'm still stuck in DI mode.

  Tough Sectional better be on your a game if you want to make it to districts.
• huntergreen26

  Crum will not be back for sectionals. Big loss for the Eagles.
• bigdogdad

  BW has had some tough luck with injuries the last couple of years. If they could get a full line up they would contend for titles again. It's hard to win duals when you give up forfeits like they have had to do. One thing you can count on, is they have good conditioning and will not give up. I could see at least four or five of them moving on.
  
  Whitehall is likely a good bet for team title. DeSales always kicks it in this time of year, JA is always tough, city league is improving every year. IMO, the easier of the two sectionals. Top three or four teams could be a toss-up.

  I agree Whitehall will take this.
  
  170 has some tough kids:
  Patrick- Marion Franklin
  Carpenter - Utica
  King - Lakewood
  Lybarger - DeSales
  Leeman - Centennial
  Eisniccher - Big Walnut
  Hortz- Whitehall
  
  Patrick is probably the favorite -the rest are in no particular order, but all are good wrestlers worthy of moving on to districts.
  
  At 160 you have:
  Kucera - Highland
  Allen - De Sales
  Schenz- Big Walnut
  Young - Whitehall
  
  My money would be on Kucera to win it, but there will be some good battles in this weight class as well.
  
  I saw Farrow - 220 from Whitehall win the Cruiser Invitational last weekend and he is a hammer - not sure what the other teams are bringing at 220, but I'd say this kid will do well.
  
  
  Sorry if I mis-spelled some of the names.

  Is there another King at Lakewood? If he's half as good as Delane King, he must be a hammer!

  I remember wrestling Delane King back in the day when he was at Heath. Even when he was young he could really put you in some pain on top.

  WOW!!! Eagles are going to miss him. Heard he had some injuries but hoped he would be back by sectionals.
  
  Good luck to the rest of the team.....Hopefully everyone stays healthy!!!

  Yes- Delane has a younger brother - Junior King - He's a Sophomore and he is a hammer. Took 2nd at the New Lexington Jimmy Wood Invitational this past weekend.

  I doubt Schenz will be at 160, unless you have some inside information.
  He has been at 145 almost all year, and before that was only at 152.
• Eagle Watcher

  Schenz is at 145, Gase is at 152, and i heard that Eisnciker (sorry if i mispelled the last name) is dropping from 170 to 160.

  Glad to see Gase is back!
  We missed him out at the Watkins Tournament, would have made the weight class even more interesting.
• bigdogdad

  Not much activity on this thread? Anyone with insight / input? I'm sticking with whoever is hot that day is going to win this one. I still see a few favorites, but with this sport you never know. I'm pulling for the Nut to make some noise.

  Whitehall will take home the team title.

  You are right - Schenz is at 145 - I saw him at 160 back in December - he's cut down since then.
• 1prouddad

  I see Fergusen from DeSales cut to 170 and Allen is still at 160. Anyone know what happened to Lybarger? (I may have mis-spelled)
• great95

  i would like to see Khulwein (JA) and Gray(MF) go at it......and ridder (JA) and Farrow(WH) as well

  He was out hurt when they wrestled Darby last week of the yr.

  That's too bad. I chatted with him a bit back at a Quad in December - nice kid.- hate to see that happen to a kid in his senior year.

  Agreed. I think Khulwein win, his only losses coming to 2 SQ's this year. Ridder might be one of the most improved wrestlers in Central Ohio. Should be some good matches

  Really tough kid, but Injury\ Football has kept him out all four years...
