Look like two of the front runners from d5 this year will meet Thursday might at the lion gymnasium. Just my predictions..
106- shank over warren 3-0
113- Easter major claar 3-4
120- krouse over thomas( upset) 6-4
126- Brett fall etterman 6-10
- hopefully Zimmerman will be back for ridge
132-Hillegas over grimes 9-10
138- dudek over Bence 9-13
145- Pfaunmiller fall Helsel 15-13
152- Williams maj winegardner 15-17
160- Koontz fall holderbaum 15-23
- if bollman is still out of the line up
170- dull over Evans 18-23
182- dibert fall/ forfeit 24-23
195- brett dec fochtman 24-26
220- Krupa dec Albright 24-29
285- buttry fall Easter 30-29

I agree it will be close. I would have to say CR is the favorite with the way they have been pounding teams and wrestling at home.

Based off of Sparky's line-up here is my prediction.

106 Shank CR
113 Easter Bedford
120 Thomas Bedford
126 Brett Bedford
132 Grimes Bedford
138 Pfaunmiller CR
145 Clark Bedford
152 Williams Bedford
160 Koontz Bedford
170 Dull CR
182 Dibert CR
195 Brett Bedford
220 Krupa Bedford
285 Buttry CR

Bedford -4

I am assuming that Bollman wrestles and Zimmerman does not.

If Bollman wrestles I have him losing by decision to Koontz. Changing my final score to 30-26.

nice try lefty. No way Bedford is the underdog. If Zimmerman and Bollman were both healthy and wrestle I would say its a toss up. As it stands Bedford is the favorite.

I new it wouldn't be hard to draw you out on this, waiting on Ridgedad now.

CR @ home, beat NS much worse then Bedford!!!

I just changed my line to Bedford -2 1/2 want any of that action Southy.

As I see things:

CR favored big 3 - Pfaunmiller 138/145, Dibert 182, Buttry 285
CR favored 2 - Shank 106, Dull 171
Tossups 3 - 120, 132, NonPfaunmiller 138/145
Bedford favored 1 - Brett 126*,
Bedford favored big 5 - Easter 113, Williams 152, Koontz 160*, Brett 195, Krupa 220

Move * to tossup if Zimmerman or Bollman wrestle.

Krouse is getting some big respect from people for being a fresh. I would have to think Thomas is the favorite.

Krouse wrestled roberts tough 14-0 and thomas got teched by roberts and that is probably why! i think nick beat thomas 18-3. I think warren can beat shank. Warren beat gennett from n.s 6-4 and shank beat him by a pin, but the score was 7-4 before the pin and gennett was handling himself in that match almost pinning shank before getting caught. Phaunmiller losing to a freshman in mostoller doesn't get put into a big 3 class in my eyes. It was 5-2 and he was controlled the whole match by the freshman. Dibert is a beast! easter is a beast! Those are the two teams best wrestlers in my eyes!
