    I'll take a shot at 220 and HWT:

    @ 220, the Darby 4 will be: Sierawski (DH), Ford (TW), Struttman (WN), and Pfarr (M). I think Ford is the biggest risk, with Marysville Runner-up Jewell in the Semis. Ford does a lot of off-season wrestling and has great technique. Jewell is a "brute" type which Ford has had trouble with before. That's three 1's and a 2, so no big stretch really. But I don't see any 3's or 4's making it in. Perhaps Jewell sneaks in past Ford and makes in two 1/s and two 2's. Sierawski and Pfarr are just way ahead of the field, and I like Ford and Struttman for different reasons.

    @ 285, the Darby 4 will be: Teacher (CC....HS), Rollo (PN), Sawicki (DS), and the winner of Nader (GL) vs. Crumb (OLC). Nader has great technique and has put in a ton of mat time since last season. Crumb is tough and strong. Should be a good match. By my bracketology, the Loser of Nader/Crumb quarter will face the loser of Teacher/Rollo semi. The Loser of Nader/CrumbQuarter could win this match, thus we could see both Nader and Crumb getting out of District. In which case, the 4 Darby Reps would be: Teacher or Rollo, Crumb/Nader Quarterfinal loser, Sawicki, Crumb/Nader Quarterfinal winner. I think Sawicki may have the easiest path. I think the 5 mentioned above are a step ahead of the rest of the pack. It will be a shame that one of these 5 doesn't make it to the Schott. I have a tough time seeing someone other than these 5 representing Darby.

    Nice read dust e! Try some more!

    This is my favorite tournament of the year! So much emotion and passion in two rounds! Love it!

    Another interesting twist on the HWT division is the fact that not only did HT"s Crum not wrestle, but Mentor District"s Jon Morgan-Cunningham didn't"t wrestle either. He was Borough"s #11 HWT. He not only hit Gusan with. 5 pointer last year, but he also pinned 3 Darby District DQs in a minute or less this year (Archer, Miller, and Teacher). He would have been a tough "out" for anyone at States. Crum and Morgan-Cunningham being out of the picture take a couple of big hurdles out of the way of the podium.

    BTW: Thanks USMC. I"ll take a look at some other classes and see if there are others I know enough about to offer an opinion.

    106;
    1.Lakso
    2.Campbell
    3.Gill
    4.Oberly
    5.Mead
    6.Transue

    *Lieb & Chase are on my list as one out from placing, you could make a case for them, & pretty much 3-6 being in any orde IMO.*

    113
    1.Lee
    2.Laney
    3.Nace
    4.Wimer
    5.Hassel
    6.Transue

    *4-6 could be any jumble here. Johnson (PC) & Wright (Hayes) are the two dark horses to place imo.*

    138
    1.Demas
    2.Hinkle
    3.Sparks
    4.Rooney
    5.Messerall
    6.Durieux

    *Unfortunate that the two best guys (IMO, of course) are paired on the same half here. King (TV) & McGrath (HB) are the next two here.*

    145
    1.Kowalski
    2.Rahmani
    3.Miller
    4.Neely
    5.Mcilvain
    6.Beyer

    *Tough weight here. 4-6 along with Carroll (TV), Billingsly (GM), & Snyder (OL) are all in the hunt here.*

    152
    1.Yarger
    2.Llaneza
    3.Staten
    4.Sepeda
    5.Hammond
    6.Thrasher

    *Another very deep weight, Neely (UA), & Notestine (PN) are close behind the main pack here. If Thompson is healthy & still active after day 1 he can definitely breach the top 4.*

    Gotta be careful with my picks here, dont wana do any weights where I've got a horse in the race! That being said, I do have a few more weights...

    132
    1.Smith
    2.Terry
    3.Ferguson
    4.Lieb
    5.Lybarger
    6.Grenier

    *Name of the game here is experience. I've got Stratton (HB) & Orimstion (TV) just outside of placing here, both very capable of breaching that gap.*

    **Side note for this weight, on line 10, Jalen Jones (RB) is now out due to some academic commitments, & the Alternate from Hayes (I believe thats where he is from) will likely be in.**

    160
    1.Deluse
    2.Pollit
    3.Black
    4.Simpson
    5.Driscoll
    6.Pillow

    *Solid weight. I like Rioch (Marysville) & North (Whetstone) as my dark horses here, with them being just outside of placement.*

    170
    1.Hinz
    2.Stratton
    3.Dial
    4.McDowell
    5.Ray
    6.Deluse

    *Thinking Deluse will take a triple dip here. Hes a future star, so no worries there. Got Moran (3V), & McBride (Logan) losing in rd to place.*

    195
    1.Kamba
    2.Hale
    3.Richard
    4.Fusner
    5.Mansour
    6.Pelfry

    *Kind of a mystery weight, in that I havent seen a lot of these guys...like ever. I think Richard turns his luck around form last week & gets out here with a solid 3rd. Miller (DC) & Norris (Lanc) just outside of placing with upset potential.

    Like I said before, Ive got guys in the weights I didnt show my picks for, wouldnt feel right putting that out there for them to see & the fact there would be a considerable amount of biase in the weight, ha!

    good luck to everyone competing this weekend! (Wrestlers & coaches) leave it all on the mat!

    *P.S; love the twitter page!*
