I do not see Anglin making it out of Thursday night.  That Coleman kid is tougher then nails.

Should be a good match. Crazy they matched up in the first round. It's a real shame one of them has to go home after that match, which is a prime example of why it needs to be double elimination.

prime example for seeding as well. this isn't 1965.

If both of these kids would have won their sectional this wouldnt of happen.Its just the way it goes, and that is why it is important to come ready to wrestle this time of the year anything can happen. The things is life isnt always fair, and that is what makes our sport so special. We learn alot about who we are as individuals and competitors when we are placed in situations that are not fair. We either learn from it and dont let it happen again or we try to position ourselves better so we dont have to worry about getting placed in a tough match the opening round of state. Learn from it... Why blame the system for this, it is shaping these young men and women to become who they are later on in life, and everyone wants to see things changed and for what? And you want to seed things just to make sure a kid gets a medal or we see certain matches wrestled in the semis or finals??? Let the kids wrestle, and let them decide the matches.  You don't always get what you deserve, you get what you earn. 

Yes J, but they both lost to excellent highly ranked kids.

fair? no. but life isn't fair.

But they can get fairer. I didn't blame a system, I said it could be better. I don't mind a tough first rounder, but single elimination shouldn't be in use anymore either. I

Yes I'm picking 12 guys from the Mineral Point Sectional to win it. And at least 16 to be in the finals. All of these possible matches should be close.

I'm not a Fennimore or Stratford fan either I just know how tough of a sectional it is. Good luck to all wrestlers at state in 2016.

You my friend made some very, very bold picks that I don't think are going to come true.

[bigdawg]

I don't see Kaufmann getting beat, but hey anything can happen!

Wasn't he losing to the athens kid 7-2 before he got the pin?

[ankle pick]

Nutter will win 126.  That's a lock!

[tiger]

Whoa. Schoenherr and Murty will give him a run for sure. I think Schoenherr will get him. IMO.

[grasshopper]

Nutter will win 126.  That's a lock!

There is no such thing as a lock at the state tournament. Especially when there is another returning state champion in the bracket.

Not sure, not from Stratford! I've just watched Kaufmann beat up on a 2x state champ in Kal Gerber last year. And like I said ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

Hurlburt has never lost to Roen.

195lbs is gonna intense, id go with Fielding still. Seufzer is the runner up at 195 returning, so I don't know what that guy brings to the table, so I cant predict a winner.

285lbs is between Lee Klimek  and Kauffman, I guess I'm going with Stratford's Kauffman at 285lbs. He's been on a roll since Bi-State.

106lbs I'm cheering for my hometown kid, he's got the roughest road out of the top 6 106lbers but he can do it. Kilty has a great chance to make the finals, she'll face Hauri or Anglin/Grzbowski in the semifinals I'm thinking.

138lbs I'd have to go with the Sr. Adam Becker, but wouldn't be surprised to see the freshman do what teammate Micah Johnson did 2 years ago.

The Weyauwega-Fremont kid didn't win the Bonduel Sectional at 106 by some sort of fluke. He was the best wrestler there. Kilty and Gryz are pretty even, and Fischer is better. I had him pegged for third coming in, but he made a believer out of me. Some of you are acting like the whole thing never happened.

Weak schedule had no one really knowing how good this kid was....but he is definitely the real deal!!!  He has wrestled major competition in his years leading up to high school(not under WF) and seems to be ready for the challenge.   I would now pick him as my favorite.
