2011 Thomas Tournament

[sportsfever145]

What does everyone think???Pretty tough tournament every year.

[knightrider]

Good Competition, too many people packed into a very small gym.

[kidcoach]

Are there any new teams in it this year? I think Kittanning dropped out.

[deliverance]

I know Portage was added to the tournament.

[odoyelrules]

Bedford, Berlin, Beth-Center, Blairsville, Cambria Heights, Central, Chestnut Ridge, Claysburg-Kimmel, Conemaugh Township, Everett, Fort Cherry, Huntingdon, Hyndman, Jefferson-Morgan, Mount Pleasant, Newport, North Star, Northern Bedford, Northern Garrett, Penn Cambria, Richland, Somerset, Tri-Valley, Tussey Mountain, Tyrone, and West Branch were the original scheduled 26 teams. Portage was originally scheduled for a different tournament but couldn't go due to school being closed so they are now participating as well.

I count 10 of 12 D5 schools (No Shade or Meyersdale), 10 of 23 D6, 4 D7, 1 D3, 1 D11 and 1 MD. This tournament helps make the seeding for the D5 tournament a somewhat simple task.

Heavyweight final will be a great one..as it always is with rizzo vs tarley

[S Cube]

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. Dodson should be a finalist if he is at 119 as well. The Bulldogs should have place winners at about every weight up to 160, but thats it. Huntingdon will no doubt be up there as well, they should have a ton of placewinners.

[Lefteyelouie]

I would look for Tri Valley to finish high also. They have a nice team.

[S Cube]

Tri Valley could be top 5. Jefferson Morgan has their best team in a while also, they could be a top 5 team also.

[sportsfever145]

Yeah top 5 schools

Claysburg
Huntingdon
Bedford
Tri Valley< totally agree with Tri Valley got to see them this year very good squad.
NBC<with some good health they can place higher.
