  3. WOC
    Will he be able to wrestle next week?

    It wasn't all that bad. Traffic was still moving fine thru LaPorte and St. Joseph counties most of the day. The snow has stopped for now, so the roads should get in pretty good shape quickly.

    So it appears that you guys would agree that hook is a "week" event critic....

    My guess is there is some jackass from the IHSAA putting together the brackets as we speak to see how many former state placers or champs they can match up in the ticket round so they can sit back and laugh when a few guys get screwed!!!
  11. WOC
    Maybe not an upset anymore after 2 weeks in a row. Especially with a dominating final score.
  12. WOC
    Joe, Do the coaches get the formula for the semi-state match-ups before the official brackets are released? or do we all find out at the same time?

    I really don't want to get into the class wrestling debate. I don't think fairness applies here. Life ain't always fair and that includes wrestling. There are 14 weight classes, so there should be 14 state champions period. My opinion has always been the same on this and I'm sure that won't be changed. Participation won't increase much in my opinion by just adding another class or classes to our great sport. I believe to increase participation is very difficult because the best way in my opinion is for a program, school or community to grow participation is for the coaches in that community to commit an extraordinary amount of voluntary time building a youth program from the ground. In the communities that have such programs the participation is strong and programs thrive. The unfortunate part is that in many communities, the coaches do not have that much time to commit to building a program from the ground. Maybe the best answer is for more of us to volunteer our time to help build youth programs in more communities across the state. As far as college exposure, I can't speak for how college coaches feel about classed or not.

    A lot of debate on whether or not we have true champions.

    Does that mean it's no big deal because Spears was over rated? or that Clark is under rated?

    Maybe to get that backup wrestler a match against a quality opponent. Isn't one of the important things to get as many kids as possible matches whenever there is an opportunity?
  18. WOC
    We could seed all 9 or 10 wrestles and make those last 2 or 4 seeds wrestle the pigtail matches. Also, any teams that enter a forfeit at a weight should automatically be placed in the pigtail brackets first. These could help eliminate a few of the problems. Of course, seeding meetings would last even that much longer than they already last.
  19. WOC
    Not what I'm saying. I would love for the seeding to be perfect every time at every sectional and no kid to ever get "screwed". However, there is no perfect system for seeding especially as it relates to forfeits. So either way, counting the wins or not counting the wins there will be a few kids that lose in the pigtail rounds that maybe should have been seeded 4th. Again, just a life lesson. So I guess if you have a perfect system, let's hear about it instead of bitching about the system in place.
  20. WOC
    Here's my 2 cents which I know ain't worth much. There is no perfect seeding system as it relates to forfeits unless every team in the state has every weight filled with a wrestler at every match. Obviously not going to happen. I personally don't think a forfeit win should count for seeding but either way it doesn't matter a lot in the big picture. A few kids in the state may get "screwed" because they weren't seeded 4th in the sectional and lost in the pigtail round. Probably the only way we were going to see those kids at the Bank on Friday night is if they bought a ticket to sit in the stands. So a few tears and a life lesson that life isn't always fair never hurt any of us. The bigger crime is the guy that loses in the ticket round who would be a state placer but drew the eventual state champ and didn't get the opportunity to wrestle back. But I guess it's just another example of a few tears and a life lesson that life isn't always fair.

    The best way is to drive up to Ft. Wayne.....

    As a coach I never thought it as necessary to shake hands with the coaches, but as a parent I always demanded it from my kid. It was a preference of how I wanted to raise my kid.

    ...and it gives us all a very good understanding why teams would leave good tournaments such as the EMD Holiday Tournament and the Al Smith for the opportunity to compete in a tournament of this level. Good luck to all of the Indiana boys!!! I'm sure you will make us all proud.
  24. WOC
    Maybe #Ouch!!!

    Replacing the no show with a bye seems to me to be the fairest thing to do. Redrawing and the 5 worst teams get the bye seems a bit suspicious to me. If I felt like the host school had a bogus draw, then I would drop that event for next year and schedule a better run event in it's place.
