Bedford vs. NBC predictions.

[odoyelrules]

Based on guys who have wrestled this week:

103 Easter wbf Guyer 6-0
112 Thomas Forfeit 12-0
119 Grimes lbd Replogle 12-3
125 Rininger Forfeit 18-3
130 Wilson lmd Corle 18-7
135 Dudek lbd Gartland18-10
140 Weyandt wbd M Sollenberger21-10
145 Williams Forfeit 27-10
152 Yingling lmd Brallier 27-14
160 Koontz lbd W Sollenberger 27-17
171 Gibbons wmd Albright 31-17
189 Brett lbd D Sollenberger 31-20
215 Krupa lbd Suter 31-23
285 Frederick wbd Hixson 34-23 Bedford

Coin toss winner will probably want to make their opponent send wrestler out first at 145, Hershberger return @ 125 would make the score 26-26.

If Northern Bedford really wants this match, that's what they'll do. However the match in a few weeks will be the one that really counts so I don't see NB moving around all that much. Also, I believe the extra 2 pounds is now in place so will we see some kids down a weight?

[Lefteyelouie]

I suspect both teams could have some kids down in weight. I think you try to win both matches. I agree with most of odoyles picks. Some of those are definate toss-ups though. NBC has less room for error giving up the forfeits.

[odoyelrules]

Anybody have any ideas on if the gym will reach full capacity Saturday? If so when will they close the doors?

[Lefteyelouie]

I think it will be full. But I don't see them closing the doors kinda full. Several reasons.
1) No Jr. High match
2) Really cold possible snow.
3) Bedford is the favorite right now so the CR fans won't be coming outa the woodwork hoping for a Bedford loss. (that was for you Ridgedad)
3 is a joke kinda. So take it easy on me.

haha i as a ridge fan am still hoping for an NBC upset and i'm going to attend just to see good wrestling

[Lefteyelouie]

Heard a rumor that Sollenberger will be at 152 tomorrow. I would expect even if he weighs in at 152 him to wrestle at 160. But if not that could really change alot with the outcome. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

[odoyelrules]

I had not heard the time frame, but I had also heard that Willie was dropping to 152, with Nolan Sollenberger sliding in at 160.

Interesting dilemma on deciding which weight for Willie to wrestle, though it would give NBC some protection against being stuck forfeiting to a weaker wrestler at 145/152 if they lost the coin toss.

145 Williams wbd Brallier 24-10
152 Yingling lbf W Sollenberger 24-16
160 Koontz wbd N Sollenberger 27-16

vs original projection

145 Williams Forfeit 27-10
152 Yingling lmd Brallier 27-14
160 Koontz lbd W Sollenberger 27-17

[kidcoach]

might be very interesting for NB if guys drop weight and Troutman is back at 145. You never know.

[Lefteyelouie]

If troutman is back I think NBC def. becomes the favorite. The only issue would be getting him a good match-up due to the fact his conditioning prob. won't be the best.
