Anyone else following. I was supposed to be in AC but they cancelled my flight due to the weather. So I am watching as much as I can at home. Bummer.

My predictions

106 Olivieri - I had him winning since he dropped down.
113 Alvarez - Clark and Alvarez are so evenly matched and Clark is so good at close matches. But I think Alvarez scores in OT for the win.
120 Howard - love Polito but Howard is on a mission.
126 Glory - Heilman gives him a match though.
132 Slendorn - Revanno gives a decent match.
138 Kinner - Great match of state champs. Benner can win it from top position. But Kinner is too sound.
145 Cabanillas over Bennett
152 coin flip. Going with Corrigan.
160 Griffin -This will be a very close match. Kanniard is having a great run this season. Griffin is good at close matches. He is a bit banged up though from semis.
170 O Malley will not be denied. Kid filled out so well. Too strong. I love Foca and how he wrestles. It will be entertaining as always. But O Malley has his number.
182 McKenzie over Janzer. Great match. McKenzie is very explosive and athletic. He will make something happen. Hey look at his workout partners to get prepared.
195 Cardenas by a blowout. Possible tech. Cardenas is 16 yr old junior, just finished a growth sprout. Still wrestles like a 152 pounder. Wustefield is very good but not enough tools to keep it close. Cardenas gets OW
220 Acciardi - Little Rollie is just full of offense. Explossive little guy. Leka wont have enough offense to catch up.
Hwt Fernandez over Wood.

Not bad for using that crystal ball from Florida, 11 of 14. I expected more out Heilman, not a 7-0 pasting, but it was Glory so it's not that big of a surprise.

PS, Heilman's brother just won the ACCs at 149 and has a good shot to AA this year. He should get a favorable seed.

Too bad Ashnault is sitting out, could have seen 3 of the 5 from South Plainfield's Murder's Row going for AA.

  I thought Cardenas should have gotten OW, but it is hard to not agree with any pick when you consider their competition.
