Olsen v Hesch is definitely a toss up, as they have yet to meet up this year. The whole class is one large toss up as far as the top 4 go.

Laughlin of SB Adams pinned Mishawaka's Chadwick tonight at 113, fall time of 37 seconds. Olsen and Hesch didn't meet tonight; Hesch was up at 138. Derda was at 132 for Mishawaka.

This is awesome. ;D

The idea of hosting it at Notre Dame was also thrown around. But yet again, price and scheduling would be HUGE issues.

Support and help many schools may not have; especially if their wrestling team isn't known for being a force to reckon with season after season.

Last year, Ferdig was at 132, but was out for sectionals due to an injury

Some people on our team were talking about other places to have it. We came up with great ideas, it's just the problem of someone actually WANTING to host it. For example, Adams has the perfect gym for this, with seating up to almost 2000, and enough floor space for 4 mats. But no one is willing to have the burden of organizing it.

South Bend IS an hour ahead of Merrillville, and it's about an hour and a half drive. For people from Merrillville and surrounding areas, it didn't seem very late. But for anyone who had to cross time zones, it was an extremely long day. Things did run very smoothly, and there aren't many other ways they could try to save time, but 4 mats for the semis could do nothing but help the time issue. Though I definitely understand why people complain about being crowded.

We didn't stay for the last three weight classes in the finals, and we still didn't get home until 11:45. Ridiculous. Hopefully Merrillville will address this problem next year.

All of us at Adams do, too! Thanks for your support

Sam tries to handle EVERYTHING with class: win or lose. When he came back to the team in the bleachers, we were all disappointed and upset, and he was up there making everyone laugh and crackin jokes. Nothing could break that kid as long as HE is satisfied with how he wrestles.

At Rochester Team scores: Penn 211 Mishawaka 160 ½ Culver Academies 108 ½ Clay 91 ½ Adams 76 1/2 Plymouth 71 Culver Community 56 ½, Washington 55 Tippecanoe Valley 47 Bremen 35 Rochester 34 Riley 33 ½ Wawasee 31 St. Joseph 31 Warsaw 24 Triton 10 Caston 6 All others 0 NOTE: Clay penalized one team point for unsportsmanlike conduct.

I definitely agree. Stasiak could surprise a lot of people

I went to the Rochester regional yesterday; although there was only one wrestler who acted in an unsportsmanlike manner, I agree. There was a wrestler who gave the middle finger to the whole gym after he lost. The team lost a point, but it was still very disrespectful and dishonorable.
