2019 Wrestling Nationals
- Thread starter BCClone
- Start date
My thoughts after Session I...
MacKall should be able to win his first match. Guessing he will then face #13 Hildebrandt. That will be a tough one for Alex.
Gomez will have his hands full with #4 Phillippi. This is a big opportunity for him. If he loses, should be able to win again to stay alive for Friday. Still has a decent shot to reach Round of 12.
Parker - this is looking way ahead, but he has a solid shot to make round of 12. Should win first match tonight then most probably will face Brock from Okla St. After that, if Turner of Wyoming loses, he would face one of #23, 24, or 25 seed to reach round of 12. Long way to go , but it's possible.
I think Degen is going to win tonight. He just seems to be wrestling with confidence. He's been here before. I've got a good feeling about him.
Straw should win his first match and I'm guessing that's about it. But you never know.
Coleman looks defeated, but I may be seeing things. He actually has a very winnable match to start off tonight. I'm guessing he would face Harvey of Army next and that is winnable too. Would like to see Marcus turn things around tonight
I think Colbray advances to the quarters tonight. Geer will be tough, but I think Sam wins.
Miklus should win tonight, then will be facing Weigel in the quarters. Would love to see Willie make the semis his last year, but Weigel looked tough at Big 12s
I really thought Gremmel was going to upset Thomas this afternoon. That said, he wrestled tough. If he stays that way tonight, he can win his first match. After that it's going to be tough.
I'm guessing Degen, Colbray, and Miklus win again tonight. Gomez, Parker, and hopefully Coleman advance in consolations.
But what do I know?!?

Not gonna retype it all but I did a thread about everybody's AA paths
Gomez is a wild card so I'm not sure how much when he goes to the consolations matters, but for Degen, Colbray, and Miklus they get much, much, much more favorable matchups in the Round of 12 if they win their next matches tonight. Every one of them is a tossup at worst to AA if they win their next match but only Miklus has a realistic shot to AA if they lose tonight. And even his path is a whole lot tougher.

West has a pigtail match first, against Girard of Bloomsburg. Mackall gets the winner.

I grew up less than a mile from the West boys' mom. Good family.

Phillippi wrestled really really passive, I think he should have been called for a second stalling, but it's good to see Gomez can compete with anyone at the toughest weight in the country
I'm sure the coached know best but would have liked to have had Gomez start down in the 3rd
Alber lost, that's huge for Parker. To AA he needs to beat the #33 seed, #15 seed, the #23 seed, and the #13 seed. That's a gift wrapped consolation bracket.
I haven't seen Phillippi wrestle besides that match, but with his length I would assume he's pretty good on top.
