is that a little olanowski as in missouri's olanowski?

[lkwdsteve]

The Dapper Dan is a great show.

No Ohio reps, but can't argue with the selections. Ohio will be represented in the undercard against the WPIAL anyway. That's enough reason to make the trip.

Steve,
We will have to discuss this later when the Ohio and Wpial teams are chosen. I'll give you the skinny on the WPIAL guys.

That means all the top guys will be left to be choosen for Team Ohio. This gives Ohio a better chance to win.

[ground3pound]

Especially if some of the WPIAL wrestlers are on the PA team.

The WPIAL is tough, but I don't think they can beat the entire state of Ohio.

They haven't in three tries but it's always been close. Can't underestimate the WPIAL. And, as I like to say, there's something in the water at the Fitzgerald Fieldhouse.

Yes it is. He was the Beast champ this year at 112 and has commited to Delaware St.

My projected lineups

112-Eric Olanowski vs Kenny Trumbetta (maybe??) or a 119 dropping down. Not too many Sr. 112's in PA this year. Olanowski major.

119-Sanders vs Chris Sheetz probably a Sanders decision, Sheetz's hope would be to hit a big throw.

125-Starzyk vs Troy Dolan..could go either way

130-Russell vs Tyler Nauman...I know Nauman got their meeting at the Beast but I don't see it happening again

135-Jantzen vs Brandon Bucher/Bryan Ortenzio....Could be a major/pin, not PA's strongest weight. I would like to see Kane drop down here, I've never seen him but he's had some impressive wins.

140-Silver vs Zack Kemmerer...First weight where PA is the clear favorite and I think Kemmerer by dec

145-Ashmore vs Nick Nelson...Tossup, I think Nelson w/ the Western PA crowd behind him gets the win

152-White vs Tim Darling....The one I am anticipating the most, I think White by dec

160-Chaires vs Thad Frick....Could be another one where the national team gets bonus points

171-Benefiel vs AJ Brentzel/Rob Waltko....Dec for Benefiel judging by the Ironman

189-Foster vs Austin Carter...Foster by decision most likely

215-Gardner vs Kellen Harris...Almost anyone but Platt is likely to get majored at best here

285-Bradley vs Myles Caragein...Bradley is my pick but the last two PA hwts (Cowman, Reiss) have pulled the upset

Of course there are always upsets at the PIAA tourney so, a few of these matchups may not happen.

They should let Desmond Moore wrestle at 103, Especially if he can manage to win states (unlikely).

[JensenS]

Dapper doesn't wrestle a 103

[troll]

I know, because there usaully isn't a top senior from PA at 103. But this year there is. Thats why i said they should let him wrestle.
