    bsisson reacted to maligned in What Leasons Are Being Taught Off The Mat   
    If we want to dig even deeper into this point: I think our whole culture teaches us that being happy is the meaning of life. Which is all well and good. But the way happiness is defined nowadays has evolved into this: "obsessively chase what you think should be yours so you can be happy for you." That's a counterfeit happiness--it's a rigid individualism and potentially narcissism. True happiness doesn't happen on an island. It happens in relationships and in respect of community. Relationships involve self-sacrifice--the opposite of "get mine for me." As a parent, I'm trying to learn better how to teach "chase your dreams" in a way that also involves celebrating others' successes. It's tough to do!!

    I might be wrong, but…by not being in the weakest regional in the Evansville SS they now have an opportunity to draw a kid from that regional in the first two rounds if they qualify. Better match ups for them.

    Yes it is a long drive both this weekend and next but I can't deny the success our team has had, as a team and individuals since moving to a different sectional and regional.

    @Y2CJ41 well that wasn't very nice! I'm at least above average at jumping rope!
     
    In all seriousness I think the logical thing is to expand it to 12 teams.  The 3a has proven to be the most unpredictable by the points with late additions such as ourselves and Columbus East having a lot of success.

    bsisson reacted to TripleB in Team State qualification leaderboard 2023 (FINAL)   
    If you're asking me personally, No. If I'm a coach and my team earns a right to compete at team state No way am I backing out, I don't care if half my team is sick and we get shutout. Making team state can be a huge booster for a program.
     
    But my alter ego - TripleB says -------- Let Floyd In!!!!
     
    @bsisson will jump rope all over the competition brother!!!!

    I'd like to add that I believe the ISWA has finally figured out the right way to run the girls tournament!  They have tried many different things but I think until it is big enough to be it's own separate event that running age groups at the same times and giving them their own mats was by far the best experience I've had with my daughter the past 6 years.
     
    Middle School State needs to figure it out because 100+ girls on one mat led to 2 matches in 10 hours! 😴

    They made a good choice in having all mats in same location as compared to having the girls at the elementary school as like last year.  Lost a couple mats, but much better for logistics.

    Codei was battling illness from Sectionals on that he could never fully kick. Then in the closing seconds of Semi-State 3rd/4th match he rolled his ankle pretty severely.  Codei was not able to practice hard for the last month of the season.  In all honestly it took an enormous amount of will power and courage to even step out on the mat at the State Finals.  I am not taking anything away from JJ Braun as he came out and did what he needed to do to win.
     
    With all of the great wrestlers our program has had Codei is probably on our Mount Rushmore without ever placing at state.  He's a 3x Fargo All-American.  I honestly don't think he is close to done and we will be hearing his name for some time!

    Dealing with a hotel we've been using a few years they mentioned doing a 2 year contract next year, but later stated that they can't do that because the NBA All-Star Game is being hosted in Indianapolis 2024.
     
    I thought this couldn't be right but the date for IHSAA State is Feb 16-17 and looking at the NBA website they have All-Star Weekend listed as Feb 16-18.  Even if it is some how figured out how to host both events by holding other events at Butler, hotel prices will probably be astronomically high all around Indy.  The hotel we deal with already said they are contracted for meeting space and guest rooms that weekend.
