    EazyBLACK7 reacted to Centralindianawrestlingguy in Is New Castle Back?   
    Wondering about the status of New Castle this year... I know last year was a down year for numbers and they struggled. Usually a powerhouse in their area. Haven’t won the sectional in the last three years. Heard they have a full squad this year with Gary Black taking over. Anyone have a projected lineup for these guys this year? Or know who’s going to be rocking where? They could be dangerous. Especially with Black leading them.

    Just wanted to take a second and say Thank you to all the supporters Brayden has had though the years. We new jumping up in weight this year would be a risk, but Brayden has never been one to back down from a challenge. No complaints or excuses 7th, 1st, 1st and 4th plus being one of the smallest in 126 he did a great job and as his father could not ask for anything more. We will be looking to the future and getting a great education thanks to this sport and who knows maybe an NAIA National title along the way.
    Congrats to everyone that won and those that did not keep working hard and you just might find yourself under the lights. To all the Seniors it's been one hell of a journey. Most of you we have wrestled with or against since elementary and though those battles made some great friends or dare i say family. 
    Again Thank you Indiana for giving my son a sport with the best fans and competitors.

    Dear 138 pound weight class at state finals,
     
    Congrats to all of you, lots of fierce competitors, and you should all be proud! Wrestling is the ultimate teacher of life lessons, so learn what you can from your experience!
     
    Kris Rumph
    You are a great wrestler and competitor and your interview showed some great character.  You have overcome a lot in life and I hope you understand that your wrestling achievements can transfer to anything you chose to pursue in life.  The Melloh family will look forward to seeing good things for you in the future, and will say a special prayer for Kris Rumph today at church.  Looking forward to rooting for you, not against you!

    You are an awesome wrestler. Blake, you have a great wrestling future,  and we wish you the best.  Sometimes things don’t go your way, it will make you stronger if you let it.

    We wish you the best at Uindy.  It truly seems like yesterday that you and Zach were battling it out for ISWA state finals.  I miss those days already.  Uindy is getting a good one and we know you will do great in wrestling and school.  Count your blessings son, you have an awesome support group with Columbus East wrestling family!  That’s a good group!  I will always hold Coach Trapp in high regard..... I saw how much he did for you guys with the youth program. What a great guy and mentor!
    Lastly, to my son, Zach Melloh
    With tears of pride, I want to tell you that I love you and I am so proud of you.  My sadness only comes from knowing this chapter is over.  I didn’t appreciate the ride like I should have while I was living it.......through wrestling, you have helped us grow as a family and expand our faith.  So few people know what you have been through to get to where you were yesterday. But God does and your family does, and we are proud to call you our son and your siblings are proud of their brother.  Part of trying to live a Christ centered life means that sometimes the target on your back gets bigger.  It’s ok, keep fighting the good fight.  Keep grinding and doing the right things in life.  With a heart full of pride for the young man you have become, looking forward to the next chapter. 
     
    Your biggest fan club,
    Dad, Mom, Corinne, Alex, and Cecelia

    Pretty classy a bunch grown men ridiculing a kid who has overcome more adversity at such a young age than any of you will ever have to. Grow up. I’m sure you’d be quick to say these things to his 2 older brothers and father’s faces as well? Highly unlikely.

    Go for it. We’ll be in 102. And yes disappointing but this post was just unnecessary. That’s why I’m saying something not bc I’m upset over his loss, it’s taken with humility just as he showed.

    I should probably just let it be and move on, but the smart ass in me just isn’t letting that happen.
    Nobody is making fun of Andrew, as a person or a wrestler. He was rolling all around for a majority of the match, I assume many others were like me and thought it was awesome that he kept trying it. Showed confidence and against almost any other 113 it would work. Relax a bit, man. You’re taking something that isn’t a personal attack at all as a personal attack.

    EazyBLACK7 reacted to Perseverance in Worst draw   
    Great point Jeremy.  It aligns with Silas and I's philosophy to a "T".  Being fairly new to the sport of wrestling compared to many on this site (7yrs). I would grow a little more perturbed every year as I would hear parents/coaches/wrestlers complaining about draws, or hoping they had an easy road through.  I can tell you this......that was rarely an issue with the Doah coaches.  Slivka, Gary Jr & Sr each had a "bring it on mentality".  Being cut from that similar cloth, is a major factor of our growing so close off the mat as well.  I'll only add that Coach Barbosa has carried on that same approach. It comes natural for him being from the south side of Muncie. ?  Assistant Coach Walker is no different.
    The Allred outlook is simple......Those who worry about the draw are entertaining fear & self doubt.  Hoping for an easy path is reserved for individuals whose bartering for podium spots.  Not for those whose goal is its peak.  Cressel & Walton are both very deserving of all the recognition and success they've worked so hard for.  They're well coached and their college commitments speak for themselves.  However.....these are matches we've wanted all season.  But we'll focus on beating Moore Friday night first.
    Bottom line......We love the draw.  Awesome opportunity to make a LOUD statement!  And they'll be dealing with a hungry youngster whose well prepared, well studied, unafraid to lose.....and wrestling free with no pressure. The best 182lb'er in the State will stand on top of the podium this weekend regardless of their bracket pairings.  And it could be any 1 of 16 young men in the bracket.  We genuinely wish everyone competing a great week of practice, continued good health and to just enjoy the moment.  Go to war, have fun and score points.  Never lose sight of how much of a blessing it is to be there.

    Yes everyone moves up and the alternate assumes the 4th place position.
    Saw at semi-state a few years ago where a 3rd placer had a "nice" draw, but was moved up and got a much worse one.

    These 2 put on a show today that was special..The environment In  the nc Field house was spectacular! This match had it all.. sick scrambles, superb top work and crazy takedowns..Both wrestlers laid it out on the line and both had to take injury and blood time.. these 2 made all the fans winners and both gave 110% and left it ALL out there..I'm telling you now if they find themselves meeting again we are all in for a treat that we will not forget...I ended up seeing The Curtis family at dinner and the kid was so gracious and humble that It speaks volumes about his moral fiber and the reason why he's so successful..AJ is a inspiration to all his peers and elders and leads by example..I look forward to the years to come and appreciate what I'm lucky to witness from these 2 and the the quality of wrestling from  the rest of the state ...Feels good knowing we aren't just a basketball state and represent to the fullest!

    Winning a state title with an undefeated record is a big deal. Shows dominance! Although, even with a few losses it’s still great. Just that 0 is a big deal, to me anyways. 
    Id love to see four undefeated wrestlers face off in the semi finals of state! I believe it’s only happened a few times.
