Sanders is a 5x. There will be some good matchups. I thought Sheetz wrestled 119?

[JensenS]

He did, he was one of the "weight class jugglers."

A 7 lb drop OK what's the weight allowance? 5lbs ?

[ground3pound]

It's an exhibition match.
Weigh ins aren't that strict.

BTW, it's not unusual for wrestlers from both sides to go up or down a weight class.

A few years ago Steve Bell (125) bumped up a weight to 130 to wrestle Adam Frey who appeared well over 130.

Here's a great example from yesteryear.
I believe Kolat wrestled up a weight to create this masterpiece.

[Flop the Nuts]

I don't think Kolat wrestled up, it was just that Bono was quite a few lbs over weight. They wrestled anyway, because they couldn't forfeit the match. The crowd would have strung Bono up by the short hairs.

I'm obviously looking forward to the Ohio vs. WPIAL undercard. Should be a terrific match.

Another example - When they wrestled in the Dapper, Kish was significantly heavier than Herbert. Herbert was up a weight to make a better lineup.

So history shows that the PA team often moves a guy (or 2) up a weight, however I don't ever remember so many guys being moved down a weight from their state tournament classes. It seems like alot to me. In any case, the Kemmerer-Jantzen match should be the marquee matchup.

"Another example - When they wrestled in the Dapper, Kish was significantly heavier than Herbert. Herbert was up a weight to make a better lineup"

Kish beat him up pretty good in the DD. I still think it's in the back of Herbert's mind every time they wrestle.

It would be in mine too!! Herbert would probably never admit it but you know he would get a little extra satisfaction out of his Kish wins.

You know, when Herbert won PA States at 171. He beat Weitzel by a very close margin - low scoring (also at the Powerade). Thats who Herbert made room for in the Dapper. I thought they were relatively even as Seniors in HS. Herbert's on a different level now from Weitzel, Kish, and anyone not named Askren or Hendricks. It's pretty remarkable how good he has gotten.

[ntplowman]

Konrad and Schlatter are slightly above average also.

[Flop the Nuts]

You're right. Minnesota never gets props on this site.

Dragon went down to wrestle Metcalf. Burkholder went down. Carimanica, Primus, thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

[Trusty]

Over the years many wrestlers have been "picked" at different weights for one reason or another. My senior year I wrestled 125 and for some crazy reason the DD committee chose me to wrestle at 119....It was not fun making the lower weight, but it turned out ok.

[kc]

Trusty, did you actually make the weight +5? Just curious how seriously the competitors take it. I wouldn't imagine there is alot of free time that weekend for sucking the last few pounds. Did they tell you "make the weight or else", or "do your best to make the weight but get as close as you can"
