I am starting to be quite confused how these rankings come about. Fellow PAC rival Heritage Hills had a big weekend of wrestling up at the Columbus East Invitational. Only teams beating them in any of their tournaments this year are #1 In 3A CE and #7 in 3A THS. Overall 12-2 with their only losses being to #2&3 team in 1A. Beat #6 in 2A Monrovia by 30+ points all while missing 2 kids, one being a semi-state qualifier. They don’t see any of the northern 2A Top 10. What else do these kids have to do? Looking forward to seeing them again in January. Need to see if we have improved since they beat us at the beginning of the year.

From someone who is part of the PAC in Southern IN I thought a big highlight was seeing more PAC athletes representing at State this year. South Spencer, Southridge, Tell City, North Posey, HH and new PAC school Boonville all had some kids travel to Indy to put in some work in on the mats. It’s great to see some new coaches come in and fix programs that previous ones completely killed. Look at HH for example- Coach Zollman’s second year as HH head coach and already has had 3 kids qualify at state, one getting 5th yesterday, I could be wrong but don’t think they’ve had anyone since around 2012. I watched the previous coach ruin that program, exciting to see it’s coming back and impressive how quickly. Great testament to his coaching and abilities. A guy you don’t want to coach against but happy he is helping represent your conference. Extremely smart pickup for them. NP, SS both with place winners. What a way to go out your final year with Stewart- congratulations & thank you Coach Packer. NP winning 1A Team State this year as well with Southridge and Tell City representing 2nd & 3rd as well. Exciting times for the PAC, happy to welcome Boonville & their stud to the conference as well! PAC wrestling on the ups! Proud to be a part of the PAC & continue to watch it grow!

Yes!

I mean, did you watch your HUDL? Let’s trade video, I’ll watch your film. Clearly yours has some photoshop technique? I’ll let the big man know you need some readers, assuming you need them pops. I happened to see him this morning- looks like your coach made the “naughty” list. What was up with him & the Tecumseh coach screaming at each other? Reminded me of the ever popular American Chopper meme going around... “You can’t tell me what to do!” “Yes I can!” “No you can’t!” Looked classy the say the least. Maybe why you can’t fill a full team? I don’t know, I’m sure the big man AKA St. Nick does though. I’ll let him know you need some extra cookies this year since you’re being a keyboard warrior lying to make your kid look better than what he is. Oh- and that you’re in denial for needing an eye exam, getting older is rough.

I was present for this match, Rodgers never “got pinned” nor was ever “flat”.. I even pulled HUDL to rewatch before I commented this because, I’d hate to write something incorrect over a HS athlete. Easy to make excuses when one of your kids didn’t make it, it’s okay. Assuming you’re from Newburgh- Dr. Gilles is a great eye doctor if you’re interested in getting them checked if you truly have an issue. If not, keep supporting your kids.. but making things up doesn’t help the athlete look better what so ever, to each their own though.

Heritage Hills takes down Southridge 36-29 for championship round. I won’t lie, I walked into these duals with GS as my team to beat to win, not HH. HH definitely a team to not underestimate. Noticeable difference in HH wrestling program. Much stronger, more disciplined team. Was shocked at the numbers they have this year, was told 21 wrestlers total for their program now. Wouldn’t say any standout new talent but definitely new mindset for that program and it showed. Actually spoke with a few HH parents a bit, very impressed with their opinion of Coach Zollman. I was curious how long it would take to see changes in the program under a new coach but this was almost instant. Zollman has clearly put in the time and effort to build his own empire. Seems like he is bringing his CE wrestling background and instilling it down here in southern Indiana. Truthfully, impressed with how quick the dynamic and overall persona of the team has changed. Faces I’ve seen before to always watch out for: Rodgers, Scott, Ayer, Heeke, Rae. But don’t underestimate the newcomers, kids stepping up with great coaching can make the rest go a long way. Simple things like fighting against a pin to not give up extra points is a new toughness fight mentality I’ve never seen come from this program in 5+ years. Extremely well coached, extremely well disciplined. North Posey, Gibson Southern, Tell City, Heritage Hills, Southridge all are making this into a good wrestling conference. Was awesome watching 5 GOOD conference teams battling it out. Can’t wait to face HH & GS again in January for another showdown.

I am by no means here to imply or discuss family/marriage issues. Simply was bringing up transfer or move in possibilities as per thread topic. If you’d like to do that making a new thread would prob be best idea but I’ll stay away from that one.

I can confirm I saw them with principal at the game last night. As I posted I was helping a buddy scout for PAC football. Didn’t mean to “stir”. Just ready for more wrestling talk

Is this still available? Would be great for Southridge club.

Was tagging along with a buddy scouting PAC football game tonight @ the Jungle. Noticed Devon Bell walking around the stadium. Heard due to inclement weather their house is demolished in NC— it seems HH hopeful must be back on the Patriot mats this upcoming year.

I’m sure you can appreciate local rivalries monitoring other programs on the decline or vice versa. 21 on your V roster? I must have missed all those athletes this past year when we faced off. You seem to be missing the point- I’m providing facts by stating numbers are massive in great youth program then drop? Your argument is based off of people’s opinions about an AD? Why are the other sports flourishing at HH? AD involved with those as well? School board minutes simply state when people are leaving. Do they state the why? When you decide to sit down and have a fact supported discussion let me know. Take away message from this discussion- don’t hope for local sports to rise and compete and be better. I would hate for other schools to challenge each other and improve.
