    Good luck. I’ve tried having stuff fixed on their page before and got crickets. Also hate that there’s multiple steps to get to past brackets.

    Wow, only one AA for Juniors. I know we don't beat the door down most years in terms of number of AAs, but yikes this is a rough showing.

    That Betz match was heartbreaking.

    Sweet, cause I usually end up as the other saying.

    Would it be safe to assume a 220/heavyweight from the FW semi state?
  6. Thor
    Is this semi state, or just the city of Fort Wayne?

    Thanks everyone for the answers, really helped prove my hypothesis. Between answers here and from what I could get from coaches elsewhere, I came up with a very interesting data point. So far, from 20 schools I could gather with 52 qualifiers, every single one of them at least did something in the off-season wrestling wise. This comes from big schools with full time wrestlers and small schools with three sport athletes. And that’s not including data from teams like Prairie Heights, where they didn’t have a qualifier last year, but all of their qualifiers since 2015 wrestled off-season.

    I feel like we see that semi frequently between young guys beating older studs in freestyle and then struggling in folkstyle. Recent examples are Beau Bartlett and Carter Young.

    I’m doing a little survey to make a point for our wrestlers. We have guys in our program with state level aspirations, but it is difficult to get participation. We are a small school and nearly every wrestlers participates in football workouts that we work around. So I have a few questions for coaches to get my point across. 1. Did your state qualifiers wrestle in the off-season? Yes or no 2. How much off-season work was put in? 3. What odds do you put at being an in season wrestler only and bring a state level wrestler. 4. Any other thoughts you guys have on off-season participation.

    Really, that's what we're looking for. I can bust out numbers that don't agree to the decision of the vote for both 1A and 2A, but there are those other factors that come into play. Like if Winamac has 5 middle school state champs coming in, or state qualifiers coming back from injury, why can't someone come out and say it?

    Very interesting, two teams from East Chicago semi state get in with fewer points than Fort Wayne semi state teams in front of them. Makes you wonder if other factors got into play here. I know the numbers I run don’t make much sense for these decisions.
  12. Thor
    Most interesting part is the were down 11 and 8 points respectively to the next two teams, and still got.
  13. Thor
    Winamac? That’s interesting
  14. Thor
    Only difference in that match was some grown man strength vs a kid I’m not sure is 19 yet. Jesse was the better wrestler that match.
  15. Thor
    When do we find out the results from this vote?
  16. Thor
    Indiana schools not traveling 300 miles I can deal with. It’s the can’t compete against anyone outside of 300 miles that’s dumb. Wrestling not being able to go to iron man cause a Florida school shows up is one of the dumbest rules we have.

    I still think he’s going 133. And if he’s there, it’s gonna be real tough to win a title with Fix and maybe RBY.
  18. Thor
    Don’t know if it’s official, but he did tweet out an offer and a picture from a visit.
  19. Thor
    @Y2CJ41 you’re there every year popping up on tv. What is the actual job you’re doing? Or do you just dress officially, put a headset on, sneak in, and get the best seat in the house for free?

    Purdue has a great track record of developing those lower tier kids, wish the blue chippers would give them a shot. Purdue turned guys like Dylan Lydy and Tommy Penola into AA threats, would love to see what they could do with a Seltzer or Mendez. Heck, they even had Hayden Lohrey winning multiple Big Ten matches and in position to get to nationals, a kid who placed 8th at state once!
  21. Thor
    Also have 7 qualifiers
  22. Thor
    Indy star did add a wrestling beat writer this year because people kept asking for it. They did a decent job covering the area.
  23. Thor
    I don’t know if they wrestled at Pittsburgh, but I think you’re thinking of the Dream Team classic which is different.
  24. Thor
    That’s unfortunate, but understandable. Last spring for most of those guys, cause hopefully they spend the next few March’s wrestling.
  25. Thor
    I still like the team, but man does it suck not having Baumann, Buchanan, or Sollars. I think we knew ahead that Seltzer and more likely Mendez would be on team USA, but we’re really out most of our nationally ranked guys.
