135, 140, 145, 152, 160

135
Erece Kalama
Petrovich Forks
Lopez Vashon
After these guys, I don't know what to say. There are a bunch of tough wrestlers I didn't name, but I can honestly say I don't know who is going to emerge. I guess it will just depend on who wants it most.

140
J. Fetter Orting
After Fetter, there will be some big time battles at this weight class much like 125 and 152.

145
Sanchez Tenino
Edwards Castle Rock
Z. Lomer Caste Rock
Thompson Orting
Fistolera Kalama - The quarter finals match between him and Stemer will be a WAR, one of the best matches to watch on friday for sure.
Stemer Vashon
Ossman Casc. Christian
Ayala Forks

152
No reason to name individuals here. Every match is a good one as far as I am concerned. There are some very tough competitors and just like 125, there will be a couple that don't get to advance on to Mat Classic XX.

160
Meeks Orting
Lambert Onalaska
Jaksha Forks
Pierce Kalama - Tough customer... even tougher draw with Meeks in the same half bracket
Poppe Forks
Dempsey La Center
Hunzelman Kalama - Kalama JV that has knocked off some tough wrestlers this year, and got a better draw than his varsity guy.
Yoo Bell. Christian

Re: Team Race

good luck this weekend big dog... and if you can do just one thing on saturday, do me a favor and shock the world. Tell your wrestling partner to do the same. and don't be talking smack to me unless you want me to send my toughest guy to pull his signature move "the garrett express" on you.

Re: Team Race

Who do you think that I am? I do not think you have a clue who I am.. What the heck is the "Garrett Express"?

 

[RSass]

jt $, Any surprises at Castle Rock? I didn't get a chance to go.

 

[ASUalltheway]

JT $, were you at the super regionals in castle rock? if so, what were the suprises and what wrestlers looked most dominant and ready for a state title?

 

[jt $]

i was there, i watched everyone wrestle at least one match. what weights are you looking to gain information on? i mean, i could pretty much write a book covering each weight. my top five pound for pound toughest wrestlers of this region would have to be:
1. Taylor Meeks Orting 160
2. Rogen Lopez Vashon 135
3. Justin Hernandez Tenino 112
4. Sean McDonald Kalama 285
5. Sam Chapman Vashon 103 / Garrett Mann 119 Orting / Lucas Dixon Forks 189

 

[ASUalltheway]

i wasn't there but was interested in the 125, 215, and 145 pound weight classes. Who stood out the most to you?

 

[jt $]

The top 5 kids at 125 are all nails. I wouldn't be surprised to see all five win at the very minimum 1 match, and i think you are looking at 4 of the top 8 placers at state.

At 145 Thompson is head and shoulders above the competition. Stemer beat Fistolera in OT, I saw the first two rounds of the match but missed the remainder of it. Fistolera seems to be ailing from some injuries.

The 215's have the top 4 finishers as the standouts to me... I see all four of these guys placing top 8 in the state also.
