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!
Wrestling?!?!?
- Thread starter MS4EVER
- Start date
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
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.
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.
By The Numbers: High School Rankings - FloWrestling
We go by the numbers and take a deep dive into the latest high school rankings by state to see where the best wrestlers are coming from.
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

I am always shocked at how many national kids CA has, then I realize how many kids in general they have and it makes sense.
They do have some strong communities and areas for sure.
David McCarthy of De La Salle finishes first at 285 in Class 1A. Great accomplishment for an excellent young man. Well done, David! Go Meteors!
Heeg is only a freshman. His brother, who is a junior, won the 190 lb division in 2A for Lemont. Pretty impressive
Calcutta lost in the finals to Charles Walker from Joliet Central.
