[MS4EVER]

Any thoughts? Lots of great stories from this past weekend. MC had a 4 time champion, ND had a state champ, Washington had 4 guys win!

Marist is pretty good this year!!

Rulo from Belleville east finally got one. Had been to the semi's and finals the last two years and came up short. Will be one of the best dl in the state next year too

Marist and Honegen are super solid

It's Marist year in 3A. I like IC or Washington in 2A, possibly Montini

Saw the Chicago Public League got a 3A placer from Taft at 215! CPL! CPL!

ESL Pierre Walton. 165 state champion

It’s hard to root against ESL when you are not playing them

Two state champions from Joliet, and neither were from JCA. Both West and Central had a champion in 3A. Nice to see. The Hilltoppers had a handful of placers in 3A, but no champions this year. Agree that this may be Marist's year to win it all.

Where does IL fall in the country in wrestling?

I would say somewhere between 7-10? New Jersey, Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, California, Oklahoma are probably all ahead of Illinois.

I would go top 5 or 6, all I could find was from 2017.

IL is clear 2-6 depending on the year.

It has taken a generation or two, but the entire state is now embracing wrestling, as opposed to the North.

Marmion matches up well with Marist, will come down to coaches decisions on bumping weights and bonus points. If that is the final it should be a good one.

Dual Team Predctions
3A- Marist v Marmion in Final. Marist Wins
2A - Washington v ICCP in Final. ICCP Wins
1A - Marian Central v Vandalia in FInal. Vandalia Wins
