(Worth noting that imo, OW should come from this bracket because you can make a case for 7 different kids in this bracket and not sure any would be considered an upset. Whoever comes out of this bracket 100% deserves it). 

Senior 135 lb 

Dawson Mack vs Andrew Lehman. Winner Mack. 

(Worth noting that this bracket is very lopsided and top heavy w/ top 3 kids all on the top).

Senior 144 lb 

Brenden Nardin-albers vs Luke banas-demolition. Winner-nardin

Senior 154 lb 

ameer khalil-bolingbrook vs Jasper harper-demolition. Winner-harper

Aiden Rodriguez-isi vs Xavier arroyo-fox lake. Winner-Rodriguez

Senior 176 lb 

Isaac barriantos-izzy vs Eli miller-granite city. Winner-barriantos.

Senior 188 lb 

Maddox mcroberts-sycamore vs Daniel jackson-southern IL. Winner-jackson

Senior 215 lb 

Clyde Nott-sycamore vs Knox homola-riot room. Winner-hemola

Senior 275 lb 

Darrell bibbs-east st Louis vs Donovan olmstead-Southern IL. Winner-olmstead.

On a side note and to no disrespect to any of the competitors in the field, there are a lot of the top 2 kids meeting in quarters or semis which happens every year. I also feel some weights would be different predictions if kids didn’t go IESA. 164 and 215 in particular.  

Again, best of luck to everyone.
