Don't be surprised if Nickelson rebounds and makes it to the finals.

Lots of good wrestlers at HWT...who do you think will win?

[sparky]

106- McDermitt(7-1) drew the top and see will meet glorioso(6-2) in one semi-final, gabriel(5-1) vs griffiths(7-2) should be a good quarter, then he gets through that he will meet law(6-1) or howard(7-3). Has gabriel ever wrestled law before? Out of d-5 I say gabriel makes it, and burkett wrestling for 5th.

1. law
2. glorioso
3. gabriel
4. mcdermittt
5. burket

113- Brown(6-1) has to get by swarrow(7-3) in the quarters to meet Carr(7-2) in the semi's in the top half, patrick(6-2) will knock off d-5 champ charlton in the quarters and will meet vs phillipi(7-1) in the bottom half semi's. I dont see any of the d-5 kids making it out of this weight.

1. Patrick
2. Carr
3. Brown
4. Phillipi
5. swarrow

120- Easter (5-1) has the top seed, and will probably meet opdenhoff(6-3) in the quarters, dont know much about d-7 2nd place Hughes, but I think he will meet easter in the semi's. The bottom half of the bracket has talent, carr (7-3) vs patrick(6-1) in the quarters, reckener(7-1) vs swank(5-2) in the other quarter, than a patrick vs reckner semi. There are alot of solid kids at this weight, more than 5. D-5 I have easter in the finals. But I dont think swank or claar are better than, reckner, patrick, carr, hughes, or opdenhoff.

1. Reckner
2. easter
3. patrick
4. carr
5. opdenhoff

126- Thomas(5-1) got the 1st seed here and draws a matchup with demaski(7-3) in the quarters. I think if he gets through that he will meet vahaly(7-2) in the semi's. In the bottom half I have crouse(5-2) vs myers(6-1) in the quarters, then freshman d-7 champ bulsak vs quarello(6-3). I'm not sure if crouse and myers have wrestled or have common opponents. But I like the winner of that one to advance to the finals.

1. Thomas
2. Myers
3. Crouse
4. Bulsak
5. Vahaly
132- Nolf(7-1) grabbed the top seed here, and will get thomas(6-3) in the quarters, then shields(6-2) vs replogle(5-2) in the other top half quarter. In the bottom half finds miller(5-1) vs zanetta(7-2) in the quarter's along with andrejcik(7-3) vs hayles(6-1). I then see nolf vs shields in the top semi and zanetta vs hayles in the bottom half resulting in an all d-7 final of nolf vs zanetta.

1. Nolf
2. Zanetta
3. Shields
4. Miller
5. Replogle

138- IMO the weakest weight the year at regionals. I have heggs(6-1) vs edwards(7-3), welsh(7-2) vs corle(5-2), brett(5-1) vs naglic(6-2), and gavazzi(7-1) vs bumgarner(6-3). heggs vs welsh and brett vs gavazzi in the semi's with heggs vs gavazzi the finals match-up.

1. Gavazzi
2. Heggs
3. Brett
4. Welsh
5. Naglic

145- Tarr(6-1) drew a tough quaterfinal with johnston(7-3). Gartland(5-2) got the 4th seed and will meet Sutton(7-2) in the quarters. In the bottom half Cahill(5-1) got the 3rd seed and will see Decker(6-2) in the quarters. The 2nd seed Marra(7-1) will meet zalar(7-5). I have Tarr vs gartland and Cahill vs marr in the semi's. Then gartland vs marra in the finals. With tarr vs cahill for 3rd.

1. Gartland
2. Marra
3. Tarr
4. Cahill
5. Sutton

152- Another blairsville bobcat got the top seed here too in DoaK(6-1) and he will meet fetchet(7-3) in the quarters. Cahill(5-2) got the 4th seed and he will meet Jack(7-2) in the quarters. In the bottom half the 2nd seed belongs to Bonzo(7-1) he will meet slippey(6-3) in the quarters. The 3rd seed belongs to Williams(5-1) and he will meet niebauer(6-2) in the quarters. I think the top 3 seeds will make it through with the 4th seed upset and the semi's looking like doak vs jack and williams vs bonzo. I see top 2 seed meeting the finals doak vs bonzo. I see williams going for 3rd here.

1. Doak
2. Bonzo
3. Williams
4. Fetchet
5. Cahill

160- Law(6-1) takes his undefeated record to the top spot here and will meet Hull(7-3) in the quarters. The fourth seed belongs to Payne(7-2) and he will draw lohr(5-2) in the quarters. In the bottom half we have second seed Fochtman(5-1) against smith(6-3) and third seed walker(7-1) vs hazel(6-2). I have law cruising through his semi against payne and walker dominating fochtman in the other semi. Bollman(7-1) has a tough opening match against the d-7 champ so he will have a long ride back through the consy's with a bum shoulder.

1. Law
2. Walker
3. Payne
4. hull
5. fochtman

170- An unblemished record by Conti(7-1) takes the top spot here and he will meet Pinkas(6-3) in his opening match. 4th seed Pecora(6-2) takes on churchin(7-4) in the quarters. Dibert(5-2) got the second seed here and will meet Kephart(6-4) in his quartfinal matchup. 3rd seed Kylor(6-1) draws fetchet(7-2). I have conti vs pecora and dibert vs fetchet in the semi's. With the dibert/fetchet match a repeat of the thomas tourny semi's. I think fetchet reverses the result and will meet conti in the finals.

1. Conti
2. fetchet
3. dibert
4. kylor
5. pecora

182- Just like the previous two weights the top seed, with a perfect record gets the top seed. Deslauriers(7-1) and he will meet crawford(6-3). The 4th seed brett(5-2) will meet district 6 runner-up rogers. The second seed Thompson(6-1) looks to continue his comeback as he draws overly(7-3). The 3rd seed Berkley(5-1) gets Fields(7-2). I see the 3rd seed getting knocked off here and getting thompson in the semi's. The top seed advances to the finals with a win over brett in the semi's. I hope thompson is 100%, if he is then he will advance with a win over fields.

1. deslauriers
2. thompson
3. fields
4. brett
5. rogers

195- Vulcano(7-1) drew the top seed here and will start his trip to the finals against kyle(6-3). The fourth seed, which is kinda strange to me is Brumbaugh(5-2) he will meet Oliver(6-2) in the quarters, if he gets by his prelim match. The 2nd seed Stodart(6-1) will have a tough quarter against Nickelson(5-3). Albright(5-1), the 3rd seed will meet walker(7-2). I see the top seed Vulcano, meeting oliver in the semi's. I also have the 2nd and 3rd seeds both getting upset by Nickelson and Walker. Nickelson will come back from last weeks semi-final upset and get to the finals this week where he will meet Vulcano. I have albright coming back and winning a rematch against walker for 3rd.

1. Vulcano
2. Nickelson
3. Albright
4. walker
5. stodart
220- This is my weight for the top seed to get upset. Temple(7-1) meets up with mcClendon(6-3) in the quarters. Shovestull(6-2) drew the fourth seed and will meet Winegardner(5-2) in the quarters. In the bottom half of the bracket the 2nd seed Bennett(5-1) meets maines(6-4). Ludwig(6-1) the 3rd seed will meet jacobs(7-2). I think shovestull upsets temple. and bennett knocks off ludwig for his trip to the finals. I think winegardner will quietly sneak his way to 5th place.

1. bennett
2. shovestull
3. ludwig
4. temple
5. winegardner

285- Another top seed will get upset in this weight. I think Beattie(7-1) will get by his first match against Smith(6-3) but after buttry(5-2) gets by gill( 6-2) in the quarters I think he will get by Beattie in the semi's to punch his ticket to hershey. In the bottom half of the bracket the 2nd seed Selepack(6-1) will advance to the semi's with a victory over wolak(7-3), while 3rd seed Hall(5-1) will advance as well by beating Beistel(7-2). Hall already holds a victory over selepack and I think he beats him again to make it an all d-5 championship with hall against buttry.

1. buttry
2. hall
3. beattie
4. selepack
5. gill

106- Griffiths is a returning state 3rd place finisher. I would say he makes it out of regionals. I don't see Burket getting out. He would have to finish better then Howard and Griffiths. 106 might be the best weight in our region and a likely state placewinner is not going to make it out.

[S Cube]

@Sparky, there are no 4th seeds. The 3 district champs are seeded, after that the rest of the bracket is plugged in. For example, any time the D5 champ is seeded 3rd, the D5 runner up is 'seeded' 4th automatically.

[sparky]

Yeah but it made it simpler to explain. If they did actually seat then that would be the 4th seed.
