D3 Quarterfinals Preview

#1 DUNDEE VS #8 HART

Outlook: Dundee is rolling into Kalamazoo with seven top-ranked wrestlers and will take on Hart, who is once again back in the quarterfinals.  The Pirates qualified six for the individual state tournament and should have chance to win a couple matches in the upper weights.  There's a good chance we'll see some lineup swapping from the Vikings, but unlike most teams, their "backups" are ranked in the top-five.

#4 CLINTON VS #5 CONSTANTINE

Outlook:  A solid quarterfinal here with somewhat mirror opposite lineups.  Clinton's strength lies in their lower weights, while Constantine has an experienced and talented upper weight group.  The RedWolves have a little more flexibility with their lineup and on paper look to be favorites in at least eight matches.  However, the Falcons have been game all season and could make this very interesting.

#3 WHITEHALL VS #6 GLADSTONE

Outlook: Both returning qualifying teams from a year ago, this is a pretty decent dual on paper.  The lower and middle weights look to be evenly matched, with Whitehall having a little more depth in the upper weights.  The Braves nearly pulled a round one upset last year and may be able to make a run at one again, but Whitehall will be the favorite heading in.

#2 ALGONAC VS #7 PORTLAND

Outlook:  With both teams making their first Team State appearance in school history, this one should be exciting.  Algonac has the advantage down low and up top, with Portland's best odds to string matches together coming in the middle weights.  The Raiders may be able to make this one interesting, but the depth of the Muskrats should be enough to keep their season alive.
