Coach Humble's Achievements

  1. I believe that Y2 has offered one of the best responses to this topic that generally appeals after every Sectional. I’ve been at small, medium and large schools and we need to continue to be creative in recruiting and retaining wrestlers. We all know about unfortunate circumstances that happen between Sectional and Regional but not having 8 wrestlers in a bracket needs to be remedied.
  2. Thank you General, I would like to think so
  3. All I remember is that every bleacher was pulled out unlike this past Thursday and people sat Fanny to Fanny. The media reported that was the number in attendance
  4. It was an exciting evening and yes I remember the night of 3200 fans. While there hasn’t been as many wins for AC, each one was incredibly significant. Terrific idea for Coach Myers to recognize all the past State Champs. It occurred to me that of all those champs present except for Phil Lengerich, I coached against them at either AC or New Haven. I feel fortunate to have lived so long. Jim Hopkins from the Decatur Daily Democrat dubbed this contest as , “The Big Event.” The tradition continues.
  5. Larry has been everything you would want a wrestling coach to be as a colleague and coach for your son or daughter.
  6. As one of the managers of the FW Semi State the word I was told that the Coliseum was more than willing to host the State Finals, nothing was mentioned about a “ransom.” The Coliseum seats more than Robert’s and more of the state is in shorter distance than those that would have to drive to Evansville. That being said, the distance required would cause schools to have lodging for three nights and past experience would indicate the IHSAA would not provide that much reimbursement. Just another perspective
  7. I started coaching in 1970 and attended the State Finals at Southport in 71 or 72 and have not missed since. There has not been anything or anyone that defines the State Championship like Kevin Whitehead! Thanks
  8. Thanks and you are correct. I guess old age sometimes confuses
  9. Jay County Regional 138: Tony Wood was the Sectional Champ, his match shoul be in top bracket and the Loan Ulhman AC match should be in the bottom
  10. Joe, I am most impressed that you got the status of New H(e)aven so correct!
  11. Decatur lost another wrestling giant. Jim Hopkins, HOF member and former Sports Editor for the Decatur Daily Democrat died unexpectedly this past week. Jim promoted wrestling in Adams County for both Bellmont and Adams Central. Arrangements will be posted later
  12. AC also had runner ups: Lynn Fiechter, father to the Fiechter brothers of Southern Wells fame and Ray Ashleyalonf with a whole bunch of place winners and finalists
  13. Paul’s full obituary can be found at the Decatur Daily Democrat
  14. It has not been posted as yet but we have another great wrestler and coach, Paul Gunsett. I will leave the accolades to my Decatur friends but let me say as an outside admirer, I watched Paul wrestle in the kids program, coached against him in High School and coached against him when he led his alma maters, Bellmont. He has always been a class act.
  15. It’s a tough job to seed and I don’t think there is any intent to “shaft” any team. While pathways to the top might be enhanced by seeding, results are the products of performance. Yesterday teams and individuals proved that statement. The “vote in” process came up big yesterday, looking at Greenfield Central and the late addition of Columbus East and if I may offer my “Humble” opinion, South Adams in 1A. SA was a number 12 vote in and finished fifth with 7 Freshmen in the lineup and only 2 seniors.
