2011 Thomas Tournament

[S Cube]

I don't see Bedford placing real high. I don't think they havr a real strong tournament team this year. I don't see them having any finalists other than Easter and Gibbons. A rematch between Gibbons and Guidi should be fun.

The team race should be great. I would give the nod to Claysburg to win it. They will have 3 champs in Dively, Claar, and Aungst. .

The one that's at Garbinskys' weight isn't winning. If the ref lets them wrestle at the edge of the mat, it may only be a decision, if he keeps them on the mat, ...won't be close.

[Lefteyelouie]

None of them are @ Garbinsky's weight.

Dively and Claar are at 125-130

[Eaglealum]

ah, forgot about the January pounds....maybe weston and the Polish Power will drop too.

how is Garbinsky doing this year...I remember that match from last year with him and cole clarr is was tough like 1-0 i think...

[kidcoach]

I figured Dively would be at 125 but I wasn't sure Claar would make 130 again this year. Can't wait till Friday, there will be some GREAT wrestling!!
What is the actual start time?

[sportsfever145]

Pretty good s Cube, But 140 is REAL tough. I suspect Cahill to be seeded 3 or 4. Also 152 the kid from Tri Valley. Sheib? I think he is like 24-0.

[S Cube]

I actually had trouble thinking of 140 plunders...who all is tough around there? Also I had heard TV was tough this year but I don't know much about many of their kids other than the one 125ish pounded.
