Dutch,pretty hard to pick runnerups without seeing the brackets 1st. ;)
Quote from: Josh Crass on January 20, 2015, 09:04:15 AM
106 state champ = Mason Phillips ECN
I heard this also.
Its pretty much impossible to pick both finalists,without seeing brackets,but heres my predictions on the champs,based on wt classes that they are presently wrestling at.* * there are more than a few kids that can drop to lower wt classes**
106/Klein,Sto
113/no prediction(will have horse in this race ;) )
120/ VanMaaen,Lax central
126/Hasselberger,Sto

Not bad boo! I can't pick 106 cause I think I might have a big horse in the mix! Good luck to your horse!
um...i'm going with Acosta, based on his significant victories already this year... beating 2 state champs and still undefeated i think.
Acosta looked real good at Marty Loy! He beat Bird there!
Is Axosta healthy? I hope so. Fun to watch

I hope Acosta is healthy. I haven't heard otherwise. I don't know much about Hasselberger except that he isn't as dominant as Acosta and has some losses. Acosta is much too disciplined I feel
Though kids will probably move some weight classes still, this is how I see it now:
106. Phillips- EC North
113. Lee- Kaukauna
120. Spray- Rapids
126. Acosta- Man Lincoln
132. Leon- Kaukauna
138. Lee- Kaukauna
145. Ziolkowski- DC Everest (heard he is dropping)
152. Dowd- New Richmond
160. Gundrum- West Bend East
170. Breske- Hartford
182. Waddell- Menomonie
195. Stokke- Menomonie
220. Ingold- Bay Port
285. Johnson- Kenosha Bradford
106:Zach Szohr
113:Airk Furseth
120:Zach Smith
126:Zach Hasselberger
132:Josh Bird
138:Collin Krause
145:Josh Adams
152:Joe ziolikowski
160:Jordan Gundrum
170:Beau Breaske
182:Josh waddell
195:Mason Stokke
220:Beau Thompson
285:Hunter Toppel
106- Szohr (will be dominant)
113- Mocco (unless Lee is back or VanMaanen drops)
120- VanMaanen (can drop to 113, will win at any weight)
126- Acosta (will be a close one between him and Folley)
132- Leon (I just think he will win even though the lose to Arneson)
138- Lee (no doubt)
145- Smith (top 3 will be close)
152- Ziolkowski (him and Dowd)
160- Massie (would like to see the freshman too)
170- Breske (no doubt)
182- Waddell (top 4 I belive will be close)
195- Stokke (just good... Cheesehead champ)
220- Ingold (got to much going for him right now)
285- Micolichek (just because he's #1)
106 - Szor Germantown
113 - Furseth Janesville
120 - Spray (Would pick Shea but ankle injury scares me)
126 - Folley (Beat Acosta 12-0?)
132 - Arneson Merrill
138 - Hornickle Burlington
145 - Ziolkowski DC Everest(If he drops) otherwise I'll take Smith Sauk
152 - Schmid Verona (Unless Ziolkowski stays at 152. Would love to take Isparides but he's had it rough at state in the past.
160 - Krattinger Waterford (Hope him and Gundrum end up in the finals)
170 - Breske Hartford
182 - Waddell Menomonie
195 - Abel Rapids
220 - Johnson Kenosha
HWT - Toppel Deforest
106- Szohr
113- Mocco
120- VanMaanen
(126- Folley (this kid is on another level) dominated acosta
132- Leon dominated marko
138- Lee (no contest)
145- Smith
152- Ziolkowski
160- Massie
(170- Breske (no doubt)
182- Waddell
195- Stokke
220- ingold
breske, szhor and lee will coast...folley is more dominant than anyone in his bracket this year, leon will turn it on!
Crossface,Nolan Shea 120lbs,Dalton Shea 106lbs(has ankle injury)120lb Shea is not injured.Some of you are awful high on a freshman at 113lbs,tough pick when you consider that 4 of the top 5 returning state placewinners(106lbs)are all going to be at 113lbs.Should be real interesting wt class to watch.
Have to agree with Boo - Mocco is a very good wrestler, Surprised with all the picks for him, there are many kids at 113 with very strong resumes this year. Furseth, Hanson, Lee, Hensley (if he stays), White & Van Maanen - if they drop
As for Folley - again great wrestler, but it's a bit like Groundhog day - each year we hear how dominate he is, of course he is dominate, you don't see their team at Lordes, Bistate, cheese, badger, etc... No disrespect to the Couger Inv, Stech Inv, Cutler Inv - just not at the same level - I shouldn't be surprised by that brash statement - each year same couple posters. That field is loaded with White, Hasselberg, Fosser, Smith, and others. He has a very good shot, but it's going to be a dog fight to the end.
Just a thought everyone is over looking Hasselberger. Just because folley beat Acosta when he was ranked number one DOSNT mean oh yeah this kids going to win state I think Hasselberger is gonna be tough to beat and he's gonna go into the tournament looking for it this year since he was a runner up last year
ElectricGuy,Well said!!See you in Milton in morning.Good luck to all wrestlers competing in their various conference tournaments,especially to all the Badger Conference wrestlers competing in one of the toughest conference tournaments in the state!!
Can Reinhardt drop to 160?
well said and nobody is looking over hasselberger...the kid is beast as he was last year!! Folleymay not have the toughest schedule but he has wrestled tough guys according to track wrestling and I caught a glimpse of the kid last yearbut mostly this year, hes the real deal....I think he'll take it
I have to agree never count hasselberg out come tournament time. He's a gamer when it comes to the kohl center. He knows what it takes and he always seems to really turn it on. Now im not saying he is going to be champ at 26. Im just saying just because he hasn't had the best season thus far doesn't mean he can be counted out. He's dangerous at the end of march.

I do know that Acosta was still hurt from his finals match against wright. I think it was his elbow.? But again, Acosta beat Wright pretty soundly at OTW and Foley lost to Wright later that day after he beat Acosta. I think a healthy acosta Beats folly by 2/3.
All I can say is it's going to be one heck of a tournament with some great matches looking forward to it
acosta wrestled that day, which means he was ok to wrestle...no excuses
He was huge two years ago at 160, so I would guess not.
Quote from: wrestle84 on February 06, 2015, 09:50:34 AM

this will be a great tournament!!! good luck to every hard working kid!!!!
Amery's Finest - you wouldn't happen to know RisingStar from a few years ago. Didn't sound like an excuse, sounded like, there is more to the story.
I often get a kick out of Dad's or family members writing checks with their mouths. Then expecting their son or relative to cash it for them.
what? who is that? im not a dad nor do I have kids I have nephew in middle school and a good friend who coaches in the inner city...so I know the ins and outs point blank period....lol look it up
Maybe Reinhardt should jump to 182. He could be better than Waddell
In no way will Breske "coast" against Mason. This will be a great match. While not a huge weight difference I believe Breske weighed in at 182(didn't weigh the full 182) and Mason bumped to him at the duals. This will be an extremely close match and I could see it going Mason's way on the right day.
Neither are intimidated by the other...that is for sure. I applaud Mason for accepting the challenge if he stays at the weight and would in no way lose sleep if he decided for some reason to change the weight but I don't see that happening.
These are only opinionated predictions...I have see crazy things happen at state! anything can happen! does anybody remember the year izzy balsindger from chippewau lost to the kid he tech falled the wee prior to?
or when willis from milwaukee custer beat devin peterson??
Anything can happen!!
i guess.
I think Breske has been at 182 all season, except for the Cheesehead. He would be the favorite at 195 too.
I'm looking forward to following him in college wherever he decides to go.
Quote from: AmerysFinest on February 06, 2015, 11:17:03 AMAnything can happen!!
That is why we love this tournament. Huges (HA) vs Peterson (WR) in the D1 semi's 4 years ago was wild

Bailey VanHandel Kaukauna 12

He wrestled yesterday against Appleton North.

Taking nothing away from Mason, because he is an outstanding wrestler, I just cannot seeing Breske losing to anyone in Wisconsin. Mason wrestled a great match. But when it comes to close matches and Beau Breske the odds are too slim. His freshmen year for example, OTW he defeated returning state champ Travis Smith. In the second round of state he upset Travis Hettinga. Both being overtime matches.
All in all the guys fundamentals are just through the room. He just doesn't make mistakes.
Breske is just that good man that kid is tough as nails and as for Leon I don't see him making that cut, especially since hasselberger is down there also he's big at 32 I doubt healed that cut and furseth is one of my fav wrestlers to watch lol

Benji is a heck of a wrestler, but might not even finish in the top 3 in his regional with Klien, Scharenbrock and then you add Shea into the sectional.

Mason has finished 5th, 3rd and 2nd. It is not about running from each other.. They both don't have to run from each other, or anyone for that matter. But they both could be standing on top of the podium in Madison.. and they both could win either 170 or 182..
Not guaranteed to see that match in the finals depending where the end up in the brackets (Not seeded).. If they are at the same weight they could see each other in the early.
well, the way the Shea's is wrestling right now at "20" I don't see anybody beating him, all tho i must say the young smith from Port and white from WAC may certainly have a say in it all and Milton's 182 lb'er Wileman is also looking darn good, one thing i know for sure, his single leg is almost unstoppable at this point as the 4th ranked wrestler from Reedsburg found out last night, you get a big tough, strong kid like that who possess that kind of a single leg and you have trouble, another notables in the area besides Craigs Furseth has to be Parkers Siener, the kids still undefeated i believe and has turned some heads from a once dominating team, also the young Shea from milton and peak from Elkhorn can not be ruled out, nor would i rule out any of the Stoughton kids at 06,13,26 and 32...bottom line is, there is a lot of wrestling to go and the ones who are wrestling there best in 3 weeks have the best shot at winning...and yes, ya better toss in that you man Fojser...he looks like he's on a mission and has improved a lot in the last 8 weeks..

Wadell is a great wrestler! However, I don't think he stands a chance against either kid. They are at another level completely. It wouldn't be close IMO.
I am well aware of how good mason is. But the fact is they r both at 170 and have been most of the year. For one of them to bump up to 182... Well what would you call it. Even if one of them does go up... Good luck to them. They both r good enough to win titles in a lot of other states. But looking at it from a fans perspective. We have a chance to watch 2 of the nations best battle it out for a state title and I think most would agree with me in saying they would love to see it. No disrespect intended

Yeah I (selfishly) would love to see this too! But, can't blame a kid for going somewhere he can win a state title.
I think it was 7-4 Reinhart over Wadell last year. And Wadell had him on his back. He's a beast this year. Only lost to one guy this year!

Honestly I'm not sure about Breske. I've heard both 182 and 170.. I was just taking a stab at it.
As far as the Koontz boy's go, I am not related, but I did witness Brady put the boots to Szohr this season in a very tight match that was decided by the ref in one of the weirdest calls I've seen. Brady just simply out worked him. Both great wrestlers and I am looking forward to seeing a re-match if it happens. YES I am a tad bias

Can spray beat zack smith from port? I don't think so
120 is going to be a neck and neck race. I wouldnt be surprised if zach smith won. And I won't be surprised if he doesn't even place. My personal opinion is he hasn't wrestled this year like he has been the past 3. Good kid, tough wrestler just isn't looking as solid as I expected.

Can't say for sure, but I wouldn't automatically count Spray out. He is one heck of a wrestler and very difficult to get your hands on.
Like I said, Shea is wrestling better than I have ever seen him wrestle, he had a point to make and I believes he's on a mission to prove it....
120 is going to be a great wt class,definately wouldnt count Smith or Spray out but after watching Nolan Shea on sat or Jaden Vanmaaen earlier in yr,hard to pick against either of them.I think i might have to give the edge to Shea.

Breske wrestled at 170 for conference & looked comfortable, so I would imagine he will be at 170. There seems to be a bias towards the Northern kids with these picks. I will take Bird at 132, Shea at 120. Somewhat familiar with the Koontz brothers at the youth level. Often came down a bit & had a size advantage that they won't have against Furseth, Ratkovek & Lee at 113 or Shulist or Peak at 106.
I am really surprised no one picked Schultz from Holmen at 106. Has he lost any matches since before Bi-State?
I feel 20 will be smith 26 will be folley and 32 will be bird
If Kraus wrestles at 45 he will have a great shot

Dozer: Please tell me you are related to the Koontz boys. I will concede that they are great young wrestlers. I will not diminish their skills. I just think that Szohr at 106 is the guy to beat and does not exhibit a history of failing to rise to the occassion.
BTW: Is Breske going 182? He was at 170 for Cheesehead
Honestly I'm not sure about Breske. I've heard both 182 and 170.. I was just taking a stab at it.
As far as the Koontz boy's go, I am not related, but I did witness Brady put the boots to Szohr this season in a very tight match that was decided by the ref in one of the weirdest calls I've seen.

That's funny 1iota!! The Koontz boys never came down in youth. In fact they weighed in with clothes on a lot of the time. Let it go already!!!! You've been hanging onto this for several years now! They've never had a size advantage and never have cut.

Both good wrestlers, not in any way trying to take anything away from them. I simply think the wrestlers I sited are stronger at this stage.

Then why didn't you say that? Because what you actually said was as youth wrestlers they "often came down a bit and had a size advantage". Anyone that knows the Koontzes, know those boys have never..."come down a bit". Their parents have been trying to pack weight on them for years because they knew they had to get them big enough for high school. They have never cut weight.
And now this thread returns to its originally intended purpose. If I had to pick 106, Zack Szohr has been dominant all year. The other weight classes there are several people who are in the hunt. I am just hoping Breske and Reinhardt are both at 170 and on opposite sides of the bracket.
Quote from: Tews19 on February 09, 2015, 04:32:57 PM
Schulist wrestled one of the Koontz boys earlier this year. Aaron wrestled up a weight won the match. He also wrestled Tanner before.. I think the score was 12 or 14-0.... He will be tough to beat at state. Then again Szohr is a stud too. 106 will be a bracket where anyone of the top 10 could win it. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!
Tews19 Here's a little history lesson about Tanner and Aaron they have wrested 9 times and there has been some one sided matches and there has been some out right gut checking wars. Either way when they wrestle next time the best wrestler on that day will win and both of these young men are battle tested.I just thought to bring up one match as an example was pretty weak,just saying.I also thought I read somewhere in a different thread that 106 will be weak and there's nobody there. I don't think that someone did their homework before posting that,as there will be good 106 lbers not even wrestling in Madison.My money is going to be on the short kid.But you have to make it there first and I can only hope the kid make it to the big dance.Best of luck to everyone.
i seemed to have overlooked a possible front runner, the young Louis from Stoughton, after looking at where his only losses can from this yr, one has to assume he will be standing on that podium come the state meet...his loss at the cheesehead to Leon in the Semi's was a real close match as he was winning going into the 3rd 5-6 but couldn't stop that firemans of Leon's, but he did come real close 3 time to getting back points...he may have lost 6 matches this yr, but they all came at the hands of top notch wrestlers and ever match was real close, i know 2 of his other losses came at the hands of Milton's Shea, 1 to a #1 ranked wis wrestler Bianci, 1 to a top ranked AZ wrestler and 1 to a top ranked kid from Ill....so that puts in in good company.... i have to say that Stoughton's Kraus will also be there in the end...very tough hard nosed kid..
Maggie I believe you are overlooking a lot of 120 pounders.
I very well may be....but will stick to my picks...how about you?
I feel Spray is good enough to win that weight.
Here are a few kids that I think skinfolded for 120, so possible kids at that weight
Trent Leon cheese head runner up
Patrick Spray 2nd @113
Zach Smith 2nd and a 3rd in state
Nolan Shea 106 lb state champ
Hasselberger 2nd in state
Nathan Smith 3rd
Andrew Mcintosh 5th
Jaden VanMaanen 3rd
Is there a deeper weight class?
106- Szohr
113- Furseth
120- VanMannen (sp)?
126- Folley
132-Arneson
138-Lee
145-Smith
152-Ziolkowski
160- Krattiger (upset pick)
170-Breske
182- Van Lannen
195- Stokke
220- Thompson
285- Micolichek
Then again that is only my opinion and EIU is correct very wide open weight.

Wasn't Williams down to 145 last weekend? Maybe he won't stay there.
Just looked it up, and it said his MW is 152.
Can't go 145 - MWC 152 and hard to maintain. Moving up to 160 for Regionals. Not 100% with torn shoulder so health and eyes on returning for Football and Wrestling next year more important.
I think Schultz is real contender at 106. He pinned the Germantown kid in freestyle over the summer. Klien and Koontz both at that level as well. Gonna beat great semi finals!
