  1. I wrestled from '76 - '79 and 2 went from sectional to regional.
  2. I agree that this proposal doesn't fix the real problem and having 16 or 32 less state qualifiers in Indiana each year is a move backwards instead of forward.
  3. I think this would encourage schools to not schedule teams that can't field a full team. It also might encourage some cases of teams suddenly not having a wrestler at certain weight. This creates the opposite direction that we would like to take our sport.
  4. The only problem with adding weight classes is that we already have too many forfeits and adding weight classes increases forfeits.
  5. I think probably yes. However, the in season practice room at Avon and their top notch schedule is a factor as well.
  6. ...a little more to that story. The High School would not give us our varsity letters because we were in Jr. High and didn't attend the high school. We had to contact the school board/superintendent to get the school to release our varsity letters while we were still at the Jr. High. Off topic a bit, but I thought you might find it interesting.
  7. In the mid 70's when I was a Freshman, it was the same deal that we had Jr. High that was 7th, 8th and 9th grade. I did wrestle on the varsity but there were very few Jr. High 9th graders that participated on any High School varsity teams. My memory is a little blurred, but as I remember, I wrestled, 1 girl was on the varsity gymnastics team and 1 guy was on the varsity basketball team and we were the only freshman competing with the varsity. It was difficult as I remember, because I had to walk from the Jr. High to the High School after school every day for practice. Most athletes participated on the freshman teams, however we did not have wrestling in our Jr. High at the time.
  8. I think, if I'm not mistaken, that many schools and maybe even an IHSAA rule during this time frame that freshman didn't compete on varsity teams. I bet the Ancient Elder could give us more accurate information about this.
  9. I guess it will be hard to argue with that!!!!
  10. Clearly he was pinned because that's what is says on the official record of the match!!!
  11. The best way to keep it out of the ref's hands is to stay off your back. I'm quite sure there would not have been a fall called if he didn't get put on his back.
  12. If I was going to cut across on US 30, then I would catch US 31 in Plymouth and take it down to Indy.
  13. Zach, Baron and Steven Rieker all advanced to semi state but only Baron and Steven advanced to state.
  14. Number 1's wrestle number 4's and number 2's wrestle number 3's but we wont know which regionals are paired for each weight until probably Sunday or later.
  15. I think you may need the Ryan Reynolds meme again!!
  16. I don't think it's necessarily hating on Booneville because the athletes are beating the guys that they are competing against. It's more that the record doesn't always give a fair description of how good or not the athlete will compete against a proven quality opponent.
  17. In the 70's when I wrestled, almost all of our team wore these plastic suits everyday in practice with sweats on under and over them. Didn't think much of it at the time and we all always made weight. Looking back it wasn't too smart, but we didn't know any better. However, we do know better now!!!
  18. Seems kind of silly not to release the brackets.. We all know there will be some tweaking to the brackets even as late as weigh ins on Saturday morning. IHSAA pfffft.......
  19. I was at the same tournament and I've got to agree with ontherise on this topic. We all have different opinions on certain calls, but from what I saw the officiating was pretty darn good. We always are in need of more qualified officials so if you know someone that wants to be involved follow this: In order to become a licensed IHSAA wrestling official you can follow this link for details on the process.http://www.ihsaa.org...72/Default.aspx
  20. I thought I was wrong once....... But I was wrong!!!!!
  21. When my son was in high school he took weight lifting class all 4 years. This way he got his lifting in during school hours every day. During in season he focused mostly on doing lighter weight and more reps. On meet days, he typically wouldn't lift at all. I recommend for all athletes to take advantage of this class if offered at your school and your schedules can allow it to happen. In the spring about 3 weeks to a month after season was over he had increased his strength and his max greatly each year after he wasn't worried about maintaining weight. I believe that he didn't lose strength and that it in fact increased because he continued his weight lifting during season. Just my 2 cents.......
  22. I would like to think there is enough participation in all of our schools to add a weight class..... However the reality is that it would most likely increase forfeits and unfortunately there are too many of those already.
  23. Joe, If I'm not mistaken, Columbus East has had 3 Champs in the last 2 years. Both Rooks brothers and Nick South. The list shows Columbus East with 2 champs.
  24. Maybe Watts. What weight will Curtis be next year?
