  1. think they still own it, I’d go 1. Tsirtsis 2. Escobedo
  2. I just like to celebrate guys, one could make a great argument for them all. I grew up watching Tsirtsis, Angel, Mauer, Coughlin, Howe. They, and the others I haven’t named, are the motivation the future ones will use. There’s never a clear winner & there never will be, which is what makes this topic really fun!
  3. Yeah, I agree with ya. Wasn’t taking it personal, just saying how impressive it actually was. Maybe I shouldn’t have directly replied to your post. Honestly though, there’s a small group that is in the argument. They all have 4 titles besides Howe.
  4. Howe beat Nick Walpol, teched Briar Runyon and Braden Atwood, tech falled his way through the state finals his jr and sr year, aside from majoring Michael Duckworth 22-9 in his final high school match. Those guys weren’t slouches.
  5. I think we are on the same page. Howe was a monster! Always the hardest working guy in the room. I remember him saying “I take control everything that I can control, that’s all I can do.”
  6. I don’t think he’s better than Howe. I think he’s better than you, and you should rephrase your question. Why is Howe the GOAT? That’s a better question.
  7. 4 state championships should suffice. how many you got?
  8. Thanks for posting. The “climbing”, that your boys are working at, is gonna set them up for success in their future. Not just in the sport! You’re kicking butt as a wrestling parent, even if you support class wrestling!
  9. I’m gonna speak generally and call you a sore loser.
  10. People on both sides agree to this statement. Just different opinions on what’s “fair”.
  11. ** So long as we class the fight according to city size, to be fair. Privileged? In the sport of wrestling. What is happening in this world? If I was privileged my old man would not have worked in a steel mill 70 hours a week and I’d have played golf at our summer home in FL. Give me a break. I hope you don’t coach, if you do I REALLY hope you don’t drag this talk into your room. I don’t hate what you’re fighting for, I just disagree, but I hate your argument.
  12. I agree. Some people just disagree with classing individual state, and I’m one of them. I say this because we were talking about results at the tournament this last weekend. Classing an IHSAA Team State Series, having IHSAA Girls State, and wrestle-backs for placement at individual state are awesome topics to discuss!
  13. Bingo! Wrestling is more accessible now then it’s ever been and we need to do our part so that trend continues.
  14. I was wondering why there was so many from small schools. Crown Point needs to pump their numbers up!
  15. Inequities do exist. Some people are state champions, lots of people are not. I personally don’t think the size of your school *negatively* affects your ability to become one. I believe it’s a multitude of things, and that’s why it’s difficult to accomplish.
  16. Which is why everyone can’t win a state championship.
  17. Is this a school-size issue? I don’t think so.
  18. i bought my first car for $1200 after bussing tables for a summer. I’m sure there are dozens/hundreds of guys on this board who have the same exact story. We piled into that thing for years! if there are several like-minded guys around, they’ll end up where they need to be. We would stop in just about every town along the way to pick guys up. All of us came from different backgrounds, and none of us were wealthy. Looking back, that was one of the toughest rooms to ever exist in Indiana, yet only a couple guys were from the school we practiced at. Everyone wanted to be there and wrestle the best guys they could during the off-season. It showed when we competed. In high school, when there’s always a guy on the team who has access to a car, “no accessibility” is just an easier way of saying “I wrestle 4 months out of the year.
  19. I went to a “big school” in an area “known” for wrestling.. Drove an hour away for practice anyways, because the best in the area end up in the same room outside of school wrestling. Not sure my school size had anything to do with me chasing down the best rooms and coaches in the area. Just my thoughts.
  20. Who is Kevin English and what are his wrestling credentials?
  21. Pre-high school rankings are the standard for how these young men will do in high school. Fight for their due, Sensai Heavy Handz.
  22. 2005 State Runner Up Danny Zemlik passed away this past week. Thoughts & prayers to his family, friends, and the Portage Wrestling Community. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.legacy.com/obituaries/nwitimes/obituary.aspx%3fn=daniel-michael-zemlik&pid=196319852&fhid=4979
