St. Ed’s will win convincingly, but a few high-level matchups stand out. The most intriguing is #4 Whitely vs. #5 Bickerton at 113.

#8 Springboro vs. #6 Dublin Coffman
Coffman has the edge, with both teams’ stars spread across alternating weights. Garnering an upset or two will be key for Springboro.

#4 Brecksville vs. #5 Moeller

Brecksville should advance easily, but three top-10 matchups should prove interesting:

215: #1 McPherson vs. #3 Adkins
285: #6 German vs. #5 Stuerenberg

#10 Marysville vs. #2 Massillon Perry

Massillon Perry rolls, but #2 Mize vs. #3 C. Horak at 175 is one to watch.

Semifinal Matchups

#1 St. Edward vs. #6 Dublin Coffman

St. Ed’s has too much firepower for Coffman to overcome, but two matchups stand out:

150: #5 Eaton vs. #4 Esguerra – expect fireworks.
113: #4 Whitely (St. Ed’s) vs. #3 Wurster (Coffman) – both have state finalist potential.

#2 Massillon Perry vs. #4 Brecksville

Massillon Perry is favored by a comfortable margin, but Brecksville has a path to victory if key matchups go their way. This dual features nine top-10 matchups:

106: #8 Adams vs. #2 Schultz
113: #6 Rohr vs. #1 Seacrist
120: #3 Seibert vs. #6 Speer

Finals

Two top-15 nationally ranked teams will likely face-off for the State Duals Title. St. Ed’s is favored, but Perry has a real chance at taking home the title. Seven weights are toss-ups and Perry needs to win at least 6 of them to pull off the upset.

With 13 of 14 weights featuring top-10 matchups, this final will prove to be exciting.
