220 - Duane Knisely vs. Dluhos or Gresh
285 - Dalton Seace vs. Max Yonko
Analysis: Though websites such as Trackwrestling and PA-Wrestling.com are helpful with records, I didn't have time to track everything down for this preview. Based on this past weekend, Westmont's lineup at the Mercer Tournament went as this from 106 up: Lamantia, Kushner, Blackburn, Polacek, Dunn, Korenoski, Kelly, Holbay, Moors, Holbay, Dluhos, Gresh, and Yonko. The Ultimate Duals were cancelled due to weather, so Chestnut Ridge's last time out in last Tuesday's duals with Penn Cambria and Greater Johnstown went as this: Burkett, Holderbaum, Dull, Callihan, Weyandt, Moore, Bollman, Moore, Holderbaum, McVicker, McGill, Crouse, Knisely and Seace. McVicker, who competed for the Lions in junior high, joined the team recently and gives them another option in the upperweights.
So straight up, Chestnut Ridge is favored at 106, 132 (slight), 182 (with McGill), 195, 220, and 285. Favor Westmont at 113, 120, 138, 145, and 152. That leaves 126, 160, and wherever McVicker may be at as toss-ups. In comparing each team's dual against Forest Hills, Chestnut Ridge will be heavily favored up top and that could be the difference as I feel the Lions have more chances at bonus points throughout the lineup. Of course, don't take that as gospel as I'm rarely right about much. Either way, this should be a good one.
Prediction: Chestnut Ridge, 33-25.
