  1. I don't care that he came up short, because Cole Solomey battled his heart out against the very best and despite cementing the best finish in school history...he will be back to top it. See you next year young man...you made a community beam with pride.
  2. What a grind he had to make it through also. Faced Cash Turner last night then Lowery, and finally Hayhurst in the semis. That's earning your place for sure.
  3. What a day so far for the KV 138 Cole Solomey as he punches his ticket under the lights for the first time in KV history. Did it with a grinder over Bryce Lowery and finished off Hayhurst 8-4. History maker Cole Solomey! Excited to watch him tonight against the nationally ranked Mendez.
  4. Big ups to Cole Solomey on his 6-0 victory over a tough customer in Cash Turner and for becoming the first three time state placer in the 52 years of Kankakee Valley wrestling. He has a chance to also top his 6th place finish from last year which tied him for the best finish in school history.
  5. When I saw this i immediately thought of Sa'Derian Perry...the 141 pounder who will finish up his career having seen the demise of two D1 programs along with Eastern Michigan.
  6. What an incredible honor for both to be collegiate AAs. Congrats fellas.
  7. Wheeler IS a small town tucked in between Portage on the North, Hobart on the West, Valpo on the East, Boone Grove to the South. It's quite small, runs along IN 130. They definitely subsidize their enrollment with Valparaiso residents, my uncle lived a couple miles south of 30 and his kids went to Wheeler.
  8. Steenbeke will give Perry everything he can handle. I know that record is unimpressive but the kid is wrestling well right now for a frosh especially. He pinned his first three opponents in under 3 minutes each time at semistate before giving Hollendonner everything he could handle in losing 3-2. I was impressed after someone had mentioned his first round opponent as a likely upset over him. As Lee Corso says...not so fast my friend!
  9. Alrad? C'mon guys for a kid this special mind your spelling. It's Allred. Cole Solomey vs Jett Boots at 120 should be a heckuva match. Solomey has had a great year having stayed under the radar being in the same sectional with a pair of proven seniors in Bettich and Diaz. Now he may be on the podium.
  10. Awesome win for the Clark Pioneers who will consolidate I believe in 2021 along with Gavit into Hammond High/Morton. Nice win for Solomey at 120 over Fogarty. He will wrestle for 3rd after dropping the semi to Bettich.
  11. Attica has a really nice little team for the sub 300 student Fountain County high school, with 5 qualifiers that include a couple hammers in Hargan and Douglass. However the draw certainly didn't do this crew favors, though Douglass it could be said had a relatively favorable draw in one of the weaker weights. I haven't got to see Hargan wrestle but regardless of the schedule it takes some skills to arrive undefeated in SS. But drawing Pack in the bloodround will certainly mean if he makes it to state he definitely earned it. Miller at 106 is the lone senior in the group and has a pair of 2nd place finishes this post season thanks to standout sophomore Jake Stall of McCutcheon by scores of 8-4 and 9-4. Unfortunately I think fellow small school warrior Jeffrey Bailey of River Forest will be too much for Miller in what figures to be a fantastic blood round match. 4 of the 5 Attica reps are seniors, with just junior 220 Clayton Kelley being the holdout. Kelley has a tough first round assignment in fellow junior Bobby Babcock of Hobart.
  12. 170 EC Sneed vs Calhoun 120 EC Solomey vs Fogarty
  13. I thought Crown Point certainly wrestled well as a whole but unsurprisingly at 120 Gio Diaz knocks off Riley Bettich for the second week in a row by a 4-2 score after fighting off a game Cole Solomey 4-1 in the semifinals. Solomey would take 3rd for the second week in a row. Look for Bettich and Solomey to cause headaches for the blood round at EC. I could see all three heading to Indy. Ty Haskins (26-6) of Portage won Hobart at 120, Brodie Fogarty (29-6) of Mishawaka wins Penn, and Sam Hein (36-1) of Harrison WL wins Logansport... so if Hein pulls Bettich in the blood round that would be a crazy possibility.
  14. Previous Hosts last year - Minnesota year before - Michigan State etc. - Indiana Iowa Ohio State Wisconsin Illinois Purdue Northwestern Michigan Penn State Minnesota So it would seem Nebraska then Maryland likely before Penn State again but then again Minnesota snuck in there and I'm sure Ohio State wants to show off their new facilities.
  15. If you have direcTV and you hit the info button to bring up the left side menu at the bottom it has am option called "team pages" and if aselect it, it brings you to a screen where it shows "Wrestling" and it searches for all collegiate matches. January and February are clearly prime months with the ACC Network, Big 10, and ESPN2 being the only programming homes at the moment. But seeing even the ACC dip into this market is cool, and the big 12 gets some time with Oklahoma State/Oklahoma both getting some air on ESPN. I believe Oklahoma battles Northern Iowa on ESPN 2 this weekend, and I hope they get their act together and form a separate network but the big 12 is no doubt handcuffed by their biggest draw (Texas) having their own network. No Texas teams have wrestling for that matter. Any other states have no division 1 teams? The Citadel gives South Carolina one but there are not a ton of wrestling schools in the south. NC and VA are not the dirty either. None in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky...which of those six states has the strongest high school wrestling support?
