  1. Center Grove Middle School Central is looking for a Head Coach. We have many teaching positions available as well. If interested contact Maurice Swain swainm@centergrove.k12.in.us Jamie Wingler winglerj@centergrove.k12.in.us
  2. All true Coach Snyder. Evansville/Mooresville is brutal. Dominic Brown at 126 lost at regional to the 3rd place finisher Reynolds and drew the eventual State Runner up Schaefer in the ticket round. Mooresville Regional also included the eventual Champion Rioux. So Evansville at 126 had the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers at state and guess what, Brown holds a victory over the 4th and 6th place finishers at the weight class. Coach Snyder and I talked about the fact that you can very well lose the Team State title at the Regional.
  3. Wyatt Krejsa bonus pointed everyone in the state leading into the state championship match. Hunter May had a very dominant season as well and held the match to a regular decision 13-6. I'd have to check the stats (it's been a long season) but I think Hunter May landing that headlock in the finals may have been the only offense points given up by Wyatt to an Indiana opponent this season. Wyatt had a hell of a year and put in so much work!!
  4. Anyone get the for sure answer whether or not participating wrestlers need to buy a ticket to sit in the stands while they are not competing?
  5. I’ve said this for years. Each team gets 16 entries. You can double up in 2 weights.
  6. We were fortunate enough to get a new room last season. Three mats, two attached locker rooms, cardio area, coaches office, two storage rooms, and an industrial laundry room.

  9. Brackets over 16 would mean rounds 1 and 2 are elimination rounds. Right now, we have first round elimination matches at sectionals that have over 8 entrants. In the case of having more than 16 we would need to have 2 rounds of elimination matches if you have that round of 32 match. If not, and you have the round of 16 match, you only have one elimination match. Again, I do not think this will happen that often, but when it does, just make round 1 and 2 elimination rounds. Like I said before, this will make the sectional about one round longer but I think we all would agree that it would be worth it to keep kids wrestling. The amount of tournaments we go to throughout a calendar year and sacrifice time and money for, I would think we all would be willing to sacrifice one more round to give kids an opportunity to compete. Again, this is all pie in the sky thinking as I highly doubt the IHSAA would go for it, but I do think it is a great idea that is being done at the NAIA level that could be considered. IHSAA would have to allow athletes to wrestle 6 matches in one day at the Sectional which I could see being a hard ask. Now seeding the tournament would be a whole other can of worms LOL
  10. Helping the sport and kids as a whole. It will help all programs. Not just the good programs. Would help the sport keep more athletes which is what we all want. It is a win for everyone.
  11. I would personally say max a team could enter is 2 in a weight class which would mean you could technically fill 8 weight classes with 2 kids if you wanted. But I know the IHSAA would never go for that. Best way to get it to pass though to the IHSAA would be you can only add one extra wrester to two weight classes. So the maximum number of weight classes that you could enter an extra wrestler is two.
  12. Enter 16 wrestlers but only score 14 at the sectional. From there, your school scores whoever is still alive in the state tournament. Real simple
  13. 1. We will see more full sectional brackets and that is a good thing. 2. It happens every year, kids cut weight to make the line up. If you think this does not happen then you are wrong. Some kids will still cut weight but that number will go down some. 3. Less kids will transfer if they know there is a chance that they can still make the sectional roster. We all know it happens, kid sees that they can't make the line up so they transfer. Will some kids still transfer? Yes. But it will lower that number probably. 4 and 5 are obvious. We need to give kids opportunities to compete. We lose too many good kids because they see the writing on the wall that they will not be able to wrestle varsity/sectional. Other sports have the opportunity to substitute mid game. I see it here at Center Grove all the time. Our football team is a monster and they are very good for many reason. I think one of the reasons is that they keep kids on the team through their senior year even if they are not the starter because they can substitute throughout the game. Being able to keep kids in the program will help every program. Our football team has 30-40 seniors each year. Are they all starters? No, but they eventually can get into the game. Other sports have this advantage over us/wrestling. Again, I coached at a small school so I know how tough it is. Being able to enter a couple more guys into the sectional would have helped when I was at the smaller school as well. Even if the extra entry would not have made it out the sectional, it still would have kept him/her on the team and engaged the entire season. You have to look at it as what is best for the sport, not what is best for a specific group.
