----------

Looking at last year's 28 finalists...

15 were Seniors, leaving 13 underclassmen.
only 1 isn't returning - C'burg's Andrew Robertson, a 3x top 3 placer who took ill this Winter.

Of the 12 returning...
8 are from Region IV
6 are from either C'b or Grundy
2 didn't win their Region last week (Vandyke & Gravely)
6 won (*) last year - all from different schools, but 3 were from Region IV.
5 of the 6 runners-up are from Region IV.
The only 'defending' champ will be Miller.

112 *Devin Carter (C'b), Sean Vandyke (Grundy) [103 rematch? 13-3 last year]
119 *Tony Gravely (Magna Vista), Jeremy Hurley (Grundy) [112 rematch? 6-0 last year]
135 *Andrew Williams (Tabb), Ethan Owens (Grundy) [130 rematch in the semis? 5-3 last year]
140 Chris Smith (Chancellor) [125]
145 *Bryce Kiser (TA) [135]
160 Derek Woody (C'b) [160]
171 Braden Carter (C'b) [171]
189 *Derrick Borlie (Millbrook) [171]
285 *Andrew Miller (Bassett) [285]

----------

most qualifiers :
14 - C'burg (7,4,3)
9 - Poquoson (4,3,2)
9 - Grundy (3,3,3)
8 - Turner Ashby (2,1,3,2)
7 - New Kent (3,1,1,2)
7 - Sherando (1,2,0,4)
7 - Staunton River (1,2,1,3)

----------

using Wonderin's Rankings, with NO adjustments for the brackets, along with a "rule of thumb" formula I devised a few years back, here's an idea of how the team scores (top 12) COULD look Sat. night :

221 - C'burg
166 - Poquoson
151 - Grundy
62 - Blacksburg
54 - Abingdon, Millbrook, Chancellor
51 - Brentsville
46 - Brookville, Turner Ashby, Smithfield
43 - Northside
----------

tickets are $25 for both days or $10 per session
(Fri. : 10 & 6:30, Sat. : 9:30 & 6:30)

I will be there and will post all results of Bay Rivers and Tidewater/Tri-Rivers wrestlers as soon as I get them. There will be a link at the top of the forum as to where you'll be able to find the results here.

I'm at Oscar Smith for AAA (on Friday) and the school system blocks a lot of sites. I'm lucky enough to get on the site here to post this, but can someone post the results on this board or at Virginiawrestling.com?

I can't access the blog link.
