Predict Team State-All Three Divisions

[schneider]

Watching Jens or Brock wrestle is exciting. The whole team concept just doesn't and most posters don't seem to care either. More talk about computer projections than wrestling. Noone else wants to say it. State was done last week go hit some fs.

The difference is that team state has such a small number of teams participating compared to individual state, so naturally there aren't going to be as many people posting about it. That has nothing to do with the quality of the event. The Random Lake vs Coleman dual was probably the best dual I've ever watched, and while there's little talk of it on here it's something that both teams and their fans are going to remember for a very long time.. and it wasn't even the final.

I didn't see it. I know what you're talking about, though. Two teams gut-checking is a great thing to behold. That's how wrestling make brothers out of these guys (and sisters out of the gals). Y'all beat each other down so often, you believe in one another. That's what I love about team state. When you get a tight dual, you bring out the animal in everybody. Quality time.

Looks like D2 could be wide open next season. I don't know who to favor in the NE.

It's so great to see the love for the sport these guys build and the friendships with each other. It just gives you such a good feeling for the sport.

Alright ! We get it, Ellsworth is a great program, you cannot count them out until someone takes them down. Yes, they will be the favorite to go to team state Again! They have a lot of talented wrestlers and cannot overlook those young men.

PCA, don't know who that is directed to, but all the D2 teams have "some" rebuilding to do. That is what makes it fun. Evansville /Albany is very young. Wittenberg made a big jump. Pewaukee has started a great tradition and they could be back. Ellsworth? Chad and Jack (sorry I do not know the other coaches by first names) have a great handle on their wrestlers. I really look forward to who steps it up.

W-B learned a lot in their first trip to state.  Pewaukee was well coached and did the little things just a bit better on that particular day...congrats to them.  We will be losing quite a bit but will have some replacements that will keep the team pretty solid heading into next year....with more experience.  Our sectional will be wide open next year with Two Rivers, Freedom and L-C...it will be interesting to say the least.

By the way...anyone that thinks Team State is not a great event has never been part of it...it has been great for our town and hopefully will be used as a tool to get even more kids out for the sport.

Happy off-season all!!!!!!

Congratulations to Ellsworth.  What a dominate performance!  As mentioned earlier they are losing a lot of seniors, but they've been down that road before.  They are consistently one of the best teams year after year and I would expect no less next season.

Was so happy to see Ellsworth's fine Seniors finish such great careers.  Jens being the last one off the Mat was only fitting.

They were definitely a well-oiled machine at the end of the year.  Congrats to Ellsworth, Coleman and Kaukauna!!!!

I think SVE cleared out both towns!

[HWT Hopeful]

Kaukauna will finish the year ranked in the top 25-35 in the nation.  What is the highest a Wisconsin team has been ranked in the nation?  I think they have a chance to break the top 20 next year.  I know they are just rankings, but Kaukauna beat the top teams in Iowa this year which is one of the better high school wrestling states in the country.
