Winner in bold
106 Lucas (Shawnee) will likely pin his way through. Assaf (Def) or Selvaggio (Elida) as opposing finalist.
113 Hower (St. Marys) vs Hunter (Elida) finalist. Look for the senior Hower to overturn an earlier loss. Hefner (Wap) your dark horse candidate
120 Ingram (Bath) with Lantow (Def) likely finalist
126 Zipfel (Def) vs Crites (Celina)
132 Kaeck (Wap) vs Barajas (Def) or Askins (Shawnee)
138 Wheeler (Bath) vs Clellan (Def) or Plaugher (Wap)
145 Kuhlman (Shawnee) vs Meyer (Def) Ambos (Wap) in the spoiler role
152 Lowe (Bath) vs Garwood (Celina), Bowers (Def) can win this but Im going with the seniors to battle it out.
160 No real favorites like the other weight classes perhaps Huffman (Wap) can take control to win this, I will list the undersized Garrett (Bath) as a defending champ (138) as a possibility.
170 Hefner (Shawnee) vs Slife (St. Marys) with Newman (Wap) and Rabley (Bath) playing a role
182 Hall (Wap) vs Rudasil (Bath) Osborne (Def) and Silliman (Celina) as dark horse finalist candidates
195 Brown (Wap) vs Smith (Elida), deep weight class with Smith (Kenton), Ebbeskotte (OG), Hill (Van Wert),Mikesell (Bath) capable of crashing the party
220 Carpenter (Wap) vs Lhamon (Bath) rematch of last years finals. Morris (Def) Allison (Shawnee) capable of winning the weight class
285 Thomas (Van Wert) vs Seibert (Def) another deep weight class, but it is heavyweight which if you run this tournament 10 times you could have 10 different winners Neal (Bath), Hughes (Shawnee), Wade (Celina), Gibson (OG) Duncan (Wap) on a hot weekend could win it.

1. Shawnee - Is Hennon out for the year?
2. St. Marys - Why no Slife at state duals? Does he drop to 160 where he would be favored to win?
3. Wapakenota - Will we see Copeland back? Which Kaeck will show up?
4. Bath - No Cunningham, Mikesell, Lowe in the lineup as of late, Does Davis show up here?
5. Defiance - Jr. High State placer F. Chavez back? Does he go 113 for league? C. Chavez out does he come back for league
Despite not having answers I will project the top 5
1. Wapakoneta
2. Defiance
3 Bath
4 St. Marys
5 Shawnee
Overall winner will be Defiance going undefeated in the league duals the difference.

106 Justin Nedderman (SM) been ranked at 120. He has spoiler written all over him. Look for him to knock off at least one of the top four listed.
132 Dylan Askins (Shawnee) the kid is tough. I expect him to place top four.
160/170 Slife (SM) he's a hardnosed kid if he wrestles this weekend he's a finalist either weight class
182 Osborne (Def) his decision over Rudasil tells me he can find the podium.

reversehalf - no argument here, totally agree with Nedderman, Askins and Osborne at their respected weights. Slife has been out of the line-up for several weeks. Have not heard if he makes it back for league.

Bath has to be riding high following their big wins on Wednesday to qualify for state duals, but that was DIII; Wapak and Defiance will not go down without a fight. Predicition: 1. Wapak 2. Defiance 3. Bath 4. St. Marys 5. Celina 6. Shawnee 7-10 is a slug fest to see which team stays out last place in the league.
