I predict 7-8 wins for the good guys. I believe that Forrest vs. Seidel will be the match of the night and Forrest will win. I also
think that Spratley v. Ventresca will be a great match.

With no Jax and no Ryder, I view us as favorites at 141, 157, 165, 174, and 197. There are no easy matches here. Even their lowest ranked wrestler, 174 lber Desiante, is very tough. He just had a 5-4 match with Matty Singleton. 197 could be considered a tossup as Sasso has a lot of upside and he majored Joey Novak at NDI. I like what we've been seeing from Cody recently though and I have faith in him.

I view Virginia Tech as the favorite at 133 and 184. I think Ronnie could give Seidel a match. He's great on his feet and can choose neutral. That would mean he's our choice for the postseason though and I don't think that decision has been made yet. Thus, I expect Figs to get the call. He's even more talented on the feet but gas tank and size issues have caused problems for him.

Tossups: 125, 149, 285

125 - Troy owns the series 2-0, but Ventresca is wrestling great and ranked ahead of him. He has two losses and they both came from Jore Volk on back-to-back days at NDI. This year he's notched two more wins against Vince Robinson and beaten Nico Provo and Spencer Moore. Expect another close match like last year's semis.

149 - Gaj has lost a couple matches he shouldn't have (typical for a true freshman) but overall he's been impressive and has improved as the season's gone on. He's recently beaten Koy Buesgens and Aden Valencia, both of whom he lost to earlier in the season (as did Casey). Casey is wrestling great and I'm excited to see him take on another challenge.

285 - Mullen has wins this year over Christian Carroll and Luke Luffman. Should be a tough match. Win or lose, I just hope to see Konner consistently trying to score.

Well I was really calling Chase out ... but sure if assassin (or straight up head lock) I'm in for $1k. I'll be in GIA the 22nd, maybe Dopps will personally accept the checks for the program. :)
I see that now so you so you should be off the hook. So you got $1k for Chase’s headlock, and I got the assassin covered. lol

I know he’s a D1 Wrestler, but it ain’t my headlock.

Mine can only be acquired through years of throwing it against the advice of coaches. So, I developed a technique that looks almost accidental.

Has Chandler been in the room last few days? :oops:
It seems like a few of our wrestlers have unsuccessfully tried to hook up an Assassin this year (maybe Landon last match). Some insight from Chandler would be great.

I've played in horseshoe tournaments where only ringers counted and heard of bowling tournaments where only strikes counted. I would love to see a tournament were you could only win by pin. Chandler would be ideal for this.

Why are we letting this huckster post? If they want to advertise on the board, they should pay for it like the 10,000 other advertisers who pop up on my screen.
