Wow lots of good seeds for d1, But I think maybe overrated overall. 17 kids top 6 seeds not including dale white. Anyone think we will get 17 all state kids in d1?
D2 long way to go. Top 3 kids tre, calavano, longo all srs. Future doesn’t look great, lets see what these young kids can do.
17 seems pretty high.
Has section ever had this many seeded?
Very possible that Vince listed the wrong guy as the higher seed, don’t pull names off the brackets, you should want the list of seeds
WOW, I know he didn’t wrestle much but Dale White got screwed 5th last year 12th seed spot this year, go figure… If healthy I see him in the finals, Perry too. Marvin has a tough pull but still could make All-State good for that program… GO DUTCHESS…..
I could see Grippi making the finals but I don’t see him beating lewandowski or almaviva, almaviva is a Fargo all American
Didn’t Grippi beat Almaviva last year at states? I know someone in the section did.
He did
cya
145 could be won by any of those kids, the 1 seed Hernandez, beat almavia at easterns on his way to winning it, however he only beat Marvin 1-0. Grippi beat almavia last year 1st match at states, then almavia won 6 straight. Those grippis love the first round upset. Tommy lost to almavia at easterns by 2 and lewandowski by 2. I think 120 and 126 are the most interesting weights it states but 145 isn’t far behind.
I know this has nothing to do right now with the states, but does anyone one know anything about when/where the section breakfast/brunch is? This is the first time my son has made it and don’t have any info on it.
Almost positive its not in February so you have some time. the coaches get the info out. all i remember is that it wasn’t quite warm out, but not exactly jacket weather either lol. Someone will have more info I’m sure.
I think on the brackets the 1 & 4 seeds are listed on top, and then the higher seeds 2-8 are listed on bottom. i believe they only seed 1-8 not sure on that though
Grippi needs to be careful alessandrini and deprez r no slouches
Messinger PValley?
I am surprised to see that not only was Messinger from PV not seeded at 170, but that he drew first seed round 1. (a freshman seeded one??) Any thoughts to why he was not seeded? I thought he was a contender for a place finish.
wrestler one. I will supply a link with all the info on how seeds are done. Briefly you only get points for beating state place finishers and state qualifiers. Wins, placing in the section multiple times, none of this matters. the only points are where you have placed at states. and who you beat that placed at states last year or that qualified this year. Messinger placing last year gives him some points. You can only be seeded if you have 16 pts. Messinger is a returning qualifier (19pts) and he beat Murray section champ (+10, 29 pts) I dont know how deep D2 170 is but he either didnt make the top 8 or his coach messed up.
it is possible to have over 100pts, Delacruz isnt even a state champ and I think he has 50/60+pts. Dylan gets 100/120 for being a state champ ( i think 100 he won at 113 ? 2 wt classes up is only 100)

line 12 #6 seed
line 13 #7 seed
line 14 – unseeded
line 15- unseeded
line 16 #2 seed
we have a lot of guys who are first time qualifiers seeded pretty high, must be some good wins over state place finishers or head-to-heads. very easy to jump head to heads. if 8 seed beat 1 seed and didnt wrestle 2-7 he jumps all the way up
Messinger is behind 6 seed Radoncic (lost 5-1 at Eastern States), and designated 9th seed Filipkowski was a 7th/8th place last year (as noted in seeding criteria).
170 is a deep weight with 9 returning wrestlers, but John’s wrestling at a high level and can definitely place. I’m looking forward to seeing him wrestle.
thanks for the seeding info…...looks like John will have to take the tough route to place. Looking forward to seeing him knock off the 1 seed. Coach Carano will have him ready!
Go Section one!!
Hartnett got a bad draw…the 15 seeded kid lost by a point, in the section 11 final, to number one seeded kid???
