WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

 

Rematches from Tuesday’s All-Star Dual can be seen in the quarters or earlier, so keep an eye on those brackets so you don’t miss the key matchups.

Ingram at 126, Whitaker at 160, solid Utah guys at new weights, could make some noise. 

Utah Freshman are having a very good year,  can we see a 9th grader make his mark as a Rumble Champ?  

 

ANALYSIS AND PREDICTIONS:

 

This is one of the toughest tournaments to call, but here goes: if you disagree lay down your picks.   

 

Teams: Clovis

98: Koda Holeman will be big, big problems for the littlest guys as they get a chance to wrestle guys their size.

106: Trenton Ward continues his dominance. 

113: A Vegas kid wins here, Sullivan or Gallardo. 

120: Mecham and Jensen should meet in the semi.  For Pentz to cement his place among Utah’s elite, he might have to get past Rosas who is super tough. 

126: Parker v Mouritsen Final

132: Serrano v Wardle

138:  Vombaur v Warner who widens the gap in his semi against Tyson.

145: O’Brien wins a rematch from Reno against Thammavongsa

152: If seeds stay, an all Cali final is likely. Raby v Martinez

160: For all of you who have doubts about Jeremy Evans, keep an eye on him.  He’ll have his work cut out for him in the final, but his gas tank will take him there. 

170: Petrucelli beat Richardson 2-0 at Doc B, can the Viking reverse that?  He’ll have to get past Mason again to get the chance. 

182: Salazar vs Tucker in the final in a matchup of a solid position wrestler from Colorado and a huge Wyoming gunslinger. 

195: If Blackburn wants to win, he’ll likely have to go through King and Gianakopuios, which will be tough. 

220: Utah Fans should be excited for Mac v Blake in the bottom semi for a chance at Hart of Cherokee Trail.

285: Tomasi is tough, but can he put together an entire tournament against tough, tough wrestler?
