Can Stoughton beat Rapids?

[wrestlinglife1]

Assuming the 2 teams make the 2nd round, this is an interesting match up. I think people may be overlooking Rapids. Anyone care to have some fun and guess the match ups? Dale....

[DarkKnight]

Of course its gonna be close and either team could win on any day... I  don't think Stoughton is looking past Rapids.

I'm really worried about Rapids getting past Pewaukee.  Pewaukee matches up well against them.  But, I will take a stab at it for fun.  Going off Regional line-ups and knowledge of Rapids' possible switching:


106 - Brandon Klein MDEC Bryson Einerson   4-0 Stoughton
113 - Matrix Jisko DEC Tristan Jenny   4-3 Stoughton
120 - Patrick Spray DEC Kaleb Louis  6-4 Rapids
126 - Zach Hasselberger PIN Max Benitz 10-6 Stoughton
132 - Garrett Model DEC Bergh Diebel   13-6 Stoughton
138 - Collin Kraus PIN Cody Sawyer   19-6 Stoughton
145 - Tyler Dow DEC Dylan Hall   22-6 Stoughton
152 - Brock Benitz TECH Patrick Reilly   22-11 Stoughton
160 - Peyton Einerson PIN Trevar Helland   22-17 Stoughton
170 - Gunnar Helland PIN Jake Timm   28-17 Stoughton
182 - Nathan Fuller PIN Austin Sobojinski   28-23 Stoughton
195 - Cody Abel DEC Austin Benton   28-26 Stoughton
220 - Josian Nelson MDEC Mike Weinfurter  32-26 Stoughton
285 - Beau Thompson PIN Joe Hohol 32-32 TIE

ougiqbxy  - Pulaski is tough and hot right now.  Stoughton also needs to slip by a very good sauk team that had some close losses last time in the dual.

Can't say your too far off -  I see the deciding toss up weights probably being 113, 120, 220 ---  With a heavy reliance by both teams on Bonus in the other matches.  I think there is possible bonus at 132 also.

Pretty good predictions but I would give stoughton 6pt at 106 and I'd give stoughton 3pts at 113lbs(yes I know rapids
Won earlier at 113)either way a close dual.

What makes 120 and 220 toss ups in this dual? I see each team having a favored wrestler.

[ElectricGuy]

What makes you think they are locks?

[Irish]

Since one is your son I won't answer that one.  I guess with your version we can also call 145 a toss up..

[Irish]

And I didn't call any weight a lock.  Its wrestling is there such a thing?

[ElectricGuy]

No need for you to answer.  All your post have been around the 120 field this year and last year around 113 - all rapids - I think we have a good idea who your following.

I call it a toss up,  what do you call it if you think it's not? Sounded like a lock.. 

Just was curious what changed. @ cheese you thought all 8 were a toss up, now not?

Not sure about the top two seeds in that particular pool.  If that was what was meant however 120 was an unreal top 8 bracket in terms of competition.  Smith looked like he could have won that bracket as could the other 8 guys that were in the top 8.  Wisconsin almost had 4 guys in the semis!!


138 as well!

[Irish]

Actually I think you guys are being to nice about 220.  An like  said is there such thing as a lock.  I follow rapids.. I also follow Nekoosa. I am a fan no more no less.

[ElectricGuy]

All good - hopefully the teams meet up.   

[ougiqbxy]

I think both sides only have one wrestler who is close to a lock.   I don't think Rapids can move anyone to wrestle Kraus and beat him and Stoughton cannot move anyone to beat Thompson.

113 is the only pure toss-up in my mind and I picked Jisko because he was in control the whole match at the Cheesehead.

It's highly unlikely, but Spray could move up to wrestle hasselberger...then that's not a lock.
Dow could move up to wrestle Benitz...not a lock.
Rapids could leave Fuller at 170 and Timm at 182 which turns both weights into comple toss-ups.
Rapids could switch Benitz and Einerson which some wrestlers give Einerson problems and he's not a lock.
Diebel knocked off then 4th ranked cook from New London last week...Model is not a lock.
Hall is solid....definitely not a lock for Dow.
There's an edge for Klein, but not so much of one that it's a lock.
Benton is good, Abel is not a lock.

As this shows, the only two that are fairly secure are Kraus and Thompson.  I do not think they can be outwrestled and a throw would have to take place for them to lose.

I think I have done the best I could in picking fair prognostications while being a fan of Rapids.

I have thought this match-up multiple different ways and if everything works out for either team I have the exact same 44-14 routs for them both.   I do hope this match comes to reality, but Pewaukee and Sauk Prairie will not be easy for sure.

EG is right, last i checked, ya could only get a lock at the local hardware store....
