BrokenTowelRack got a reaction from Misty Kendrex in RIP Steve Bramer
Anyone feeling so inclined can make a donation to Steve's family to cover his funeral expenses at the link below. Steve was a great man with a kind heart who loved wrestling. He meant a lot to many in the Northwest Indiana officiating circles. He will definitely be missed.

BrokenTowelRack reacted to Cooper160 in The Ventilator Project
That’s is a good cause , thank you guys for that. Maybe one day we will be a a situation where we need them. But right now we have thousands of ventilators that have nobody to use them.

BrokenTowelRack got a reaction from IndianaWrestlingGuy1 in Impact freshman
No doubt Slivka and Rodgers had ties to Catholic school before Cathedral. A clarification could also be made for Littell, as he went to Center Grove in elementary and middle school before enrolling at Perry and then transferring back to CG.
My point is that people move around and this does not in any way diminish how special it is for these 8 kids to win a state championship, as the poster from Chesterton alluded to. Everyone is doing what is best for their family. Whether that is Slivka moving from Shenandoah back to Cathedral, Rodgers listing Noblesville as his home on his Trackwrestling profile and attending Cathedral, or Littell going back to CG after a short stint at Perry.

BrokenTowelRack got a reaction from sstark in Impact freshman
I think that annually this is one of the silliest topics on the message board, where instead of making it about the impact freshmen, we see venom from people who are angry that some of these families moved to another district for a better opportunity in life for their child. I can assure you that the following 8 kids did not feel any less "SPECIAL" when they got their hand raised Saturday night because they did not win for their original community or first high school:
Brennen Cernus- Columbus, OH
Jacob Moran- Crown Point
Brayden Littell- Perry Meridian
Jesse Mendez- Lake Central
Asa Garcia- Danville
Elliott Rodgers- Noblesville
Jordan Slivka- Shenandoah
Nick South- Jennings County
Additionally, I think the "redshirt" argument is way overdone. As the poster above mentioned, one kid could be born in July and the other in August of the same year and they will be in different grades. If the parent of the kid who is born in July holds their child back, they are one month older and now in the same grade as the kid born in August. Not much of an advantage. I think it is more telling to go through the list of 12 kids and see what year they are on the USA Wrestling calendar as they finish up middle school. This paints a much better picture.
Lemley- 1st year Cadet
Schoeff- 1st year Cadet
Purdy- 1st year Cadet
Frazier- 2nd year Cadet
Carroll- 2nd year Cadet
Gilbert- 1st year Cadet
Lowery- 1st year Cadet
Goin- 1st year Cadet
Goodwin- 2nd year Cadet
Steenbeke- 1st year Cadet
Jones- 1st year Cadet
Willems- 1st year Cadet

BrokenTowelRack reacted to base in Impact freshman
Most of them are 1st year Cadets - born in 2004. This means that they will be either 15 (born Jan-May) or 14 (born June-Dec) at graduation time at the end of May. Fast forward 4 years from now when they are seniors in high school, and these 1st year cadets will all be 18 years old or will have just turned 19 within a few months. Not really extreme outliers

BrokenTowelRack reacted to maligned in Wow - Fattore pinned himself!
Wow. I haven't been on the boards..I can't believe how many people think this was called correctly. Two seconds is a long time, friends. It's questionable whether he had part of both scapulae or both shoulders on the mat at the same time. It's no where NEAR questionable whether either of those criteria happened for two seconds. That was way, way too fast. Not even in the same timezone as a pin. I'm shocked people are defending it.
"Go flat and you put yourself at the ref's mercy." What? Am I at his mercy if I let myself get taken down out of bounds or after the buzzer? Touch falls are not the rule. I shouldn't be at the mercy of random misapplication of rules. Seriously, I'm blown away by how many people could care less if a pin is 2 seconds. Yikes.

BrokenTowelRack got a reaction from awood2 in 4x Semi State Champs
I was only a 3x Semi-State Champion (freshman, junior, and senior). Missed sophomore year to shoulder surgery.
I actually won more semi-states than regionals. Only a 2x Regional Champion, freshman and junior year. (sophomore year was the shoulder surgery and a loss to Cosgrove senior year)
