1st Round Matchups
#1 Graham vs. #13 Elgin
Graham should win every match except a 126 forfeit to #4 Schlagel. A couple of bouts could be competitive:
215: #3 Hoke (Graham) vs. #8 Pasma (Elgin)
138: #16 Taylor (Graham) vs. #27 Long (Elgin)
#5 Versailles vs. #4 Lake Catholic
The only close first-round dual, this true toss-up slightly favors Lake Catholic by a single point on paper. With each team projected to win seven matches, bonus points will be the decider.
The best individual matchup is at 106:
#9 Huber (Versailles) vs. #5 Wurh (Lake Catholic)
#3 Waynedale vs. #8 Barnesville
Waynedale will cruise, but Barnesville should pick up 3-5 wins. We could see #6 Greathouse take on #8 Carpenter at 138, but Schmeltzer has been down at 138 for Waynedale with Greathouse up at 144. All other individual matchups look to be lopsided.
#9 Liberty Center vs. #2 Delta
Delta moves on, but several matches could be interesting, foreshadowing potential rematches at the Rossford District:
106: #3 Tammarine vs. #13 Hernandez
132: #13 Bayer vs. #8 Flores
144: #12 Badenhop vs. #11 Lindtermoot
157: #4 Nagel/ #11 Thatcher vs. #10 Bartels (Nagel may still be out)
215: #5 Chiesa vs. # 13 Seel
285: #16 Smith vs. #7 Sifuentes
Projected Semifinal Matchups
#1 Graham vs. #4 Lake Catholic
This is a battle of present vs. future—Graham, the established powerhouse, vs. Lake Catholic, the rising stars. Although I don’t see Graham relinquishing their spot atop of Division 3 anytime soon, Lake Catholic looks to be the one team who could challenge them in a few years. In this bout, Graham wins comfortably, but Lake Catholic will take a few matches. The following should be competitive.
106: #8 Root vs. #5 Wuhr
138: #16 Taylor vs. #25 Arapiraca
215: #3 Hoke vs. #1 Zmorowski
#3 Waynedale vs. #2 Delta
Waynedale vs. Delta is the most exciting match of the tournament. The outcome depends on whether #1 Mattin and #4 Nagel return from injury. If they return and are healthy, Delta is a 12 point favorite. If they’re both out, it’s a toss-up with Waynedale 1-point favorites on paper.
Mattin’s presence at 126 is a 9-12 point swing as he will face off with #3 Patterson. Mattin is the clear favorite in this bout, but without him, Waynedale picks up 6.
Nagel’s absence at 157 is less damaging, as #11 Thatcher would still be a slight favorite over #14 Kidd.
Other key matchups:
120: #3 Skelly vs. #4 Barnes
126: #15 Schmeltzer vs. #8 Flores
144: #6 Greathouse/#1 Schmeltzer vs. #11 Lintermoot (Both Greathouse and Schmeltzer have wrestled at 138)
150: #14 Oberly vs. #20 Cone
190: #2 McCrork vs. #3 Sintobin
285: #12 Walters vs. #16 Smith
Projected Finals
#1 Graham vs. #2 Delta
Whether they see Delta or Waynedale in the finals, Graham will cruise to their first D3 State Duals Title, solidifying their dominance in the division. They are favored in 11 matches, with only one toss-up (190).
