Wilcox with the solid 32 seed…. I actually really like Walsh’s draw

Tough draw for Feldman. He made some improvements vs Kerk last match, but still not very close. He's gonna have to do some work in the consolations.

125 - 29th seed, McCrone. Gets Ramos (PUR) first rd. Loses he gets either Poulin or Surtin. 133 - 16th seed, Bouzakis. Gets Brown (MD) first rd. A win gets him Fix(OKST). 141 - 1st seed, Mendez. Gets the winner of Carter (GW) or Miller (MD). 149 - 14th seed, D'Emilio. Gets Zargo (WIS) first rd. A win probably gets him Arrington (NCST). 157 - Pigtail match, Wilcox. Gets Stampoulos (BUFF) first rd. A win gets him Haines(PSU). 174 - 6th seed, Welch. Gets Wasak (NAVY)first rd. 184 - 18th seed, Rogotzke. Gets Heller (PITT) first rd. 197 - 23rd seed, Geog. Gets Allred (NEB) first rd. 285 - 9th seed, Feldman. Gets Kluever (HOF) first rd.

Apparently McCrone got in...

Looks like Bouzakis got in, Hepner not so lucky. Guy from the Ohio Bobcats is one of the guys that beat him in. Lol

Is there a chance both guys get At large bids? Bouzakis was killing me over the weekend. Sheesh...

Question for ya sir. Do you know a good website or resource to follow along with the Ohio sectional and district tournaments? Thanks in advance!

Saldate can be dangerous. Malczewski has tons of experience and I like Fish. No Geog. He didn't look good against Indiana, gassed hard. Go Bucks!

MSU only has two ranked guys, wow.

Kilkeary beat him 5-2 at S32 in 2020 and 5-2 at Pitt Wrestling Classic in 2023 I believe...

Nagao was sick. If you watch the Penn State media availability you can see him playing dodgeball in the background at one point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do we know that Nagao is going this weekend at 133? He was out last weekend. I think they let Kilkeary go out against him. I think he holds the career edge 2-0 or 3-0 on Davis going back to Frosh seasons in High School. It is conceivable that tOSU jumps out to a four match lead out the gate, if no Nagao. Kilkeary over Davis via DEC Bouzakis over Shunk via MAJ Mendez over Bartlett via MAJ D'Emilio over Kasak via DEC PSU is going to be pushing for bonus in the other six matches, though. So they will need Rogotzke to deck Truax. That would optimistically (obviously) put them at 20 points. If they could keep the PSU upper weights to less than 21 points I would be shocked...

Oops 133 maybe not so much

So are 3 best chances are 133, 141 and 149. 3 is better than zero I suppose.

I was against Rocco and Rogotzke wrestling this year, but the Norns have woven their fate it appears... It was an unexpected win for sure. Fun dual. Onto PSU...

A damn fine showing by tOSU gents all-around. Some head scratchers early on, but definitely a great win for the team.

Let's go!!

Hepner Hamiti should be a good one. Looking forward to Rocco's match as well. Should be a good test for him.

Hopefully his surgery doesn’t hinder his growth

Buckeyes go 9-1 with nine bonus point wins. Known about the injuries for a couple weeks, but didn't have any confirmation on Hoffman. Shumate needs the matches. Rogotzke needs to keep the RS. If Wilcox can hold 57 he'll be okay. Rocco at 74 is okay with me, he can RS later. Go Buckeyes!
