Tennessee Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Does anybody body else see a problem with the team state bracket? Why do we have the number #1, #3, & #4 team on one side on the bracket? I know they did this up before and all, but I don't think this makes sense. Shouldn't it be a seeded tournament? At least for the last 8 teams. I am interested in what other people think about this bracketting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyandky Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think it would be nice to have the final eight seeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrecoCoach Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The IHSAA will not seed the state finals. They don't seed any other sport beyond sectionals. Their philosophy behind it all is simply to find the state champion, and they feel that if a team beats everyone in their path, then they are the champions.

MatChick76 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think it would be nice to have the final eight seeded. This has been a debate for a long time...and has lead to a few anti-climactic Team State finals. That being said...I think it's a moot point, it's undoubtedly not going to change.

kfcfanatic Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 It has lead to some anti-climatic finals, but it has also lead to some phenomenal semi-finals. Who else was there to watch Portage knock Mater Dei off and then watch the two fantastic matches between LN/Portage and Columbia City/Perry Meridian? That round was worth the price of admission in itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigginhurts Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 who's to say that castle isn't the number 2 seed and P.M. is the number 3? or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornton Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 We at Perry Meridian feel very fortunate to have made it to the team state for an 8th time. We have been the beneficiary of a favorable draw in the past (2204), but we have also had more than our share of tough draws. 2000 - Mater Dei (eventual champ) 1st round 2002 - Portage, then Mishawaka, then Mater Dei in the finals 2003 - Mater Dei (eventual champ) 1st round 2004 - Mishawaka, Columbia City, then Lawrence North in the finals 2006 - Bellmont - lost on 6th criteria 2007 - Mater Dei (eventual champ) 1st round - lost 25-23 2008 - Mishawaka (eventual champ) 1st round - lost 29-24 2009 - Bellmont - ??? We have wrestled the champ in 6 of the 7 trips we have made with 4 of those being in the 1st round. You just have to take the draw for what it is and try to make the best of it.

Tennessee Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I guess I understand! If you are the champ, then you will be the champ. But it certainly doesn't do a great job with who is really 2nd place, 3rd place, and so. Also, I'd like to see an awesome match in the finals. How does this format get us there. We would never do individual state as blind draw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 All the other team state tournaments are a blind draw, such as football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelsfan Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I dont believe there will be any anti-climatic finals match at team state. I think the bottom bracket has plenty of firepower and will provide a good match for whatever team survives the top bracket. I sure would like to see a Marion County finals and I believe it could be Cathedral --Perry with any luck and you know those Irish they do get lucky sometimes. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestle4Christ Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Cathedral is capable of beating anyone in the state at any moment they are stacked this year. As well as Crown Point. So I wouldn't bet money that its an all Marion County Finals. Best guess I can make and they are gonna be shockers are Cathedral over Castle, I think Castle is gonna ride their high all the way to the finals so long as they don't have to wrestle Mishawaka and Cathedral does.

Cross-face Cradle Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't see anyone beating CP. 112: #1 Hawkins 125: #2 Tsirtsis 135: #1 Roach 160: #2 Myers 189: #1 Shrewsberry Can anyone put up 5 potential state finalists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash513 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Mishawaka has already beaten CP once. If CP is going to win they will have to score some MAJOR bonus points with their studs and pull of an upset or two. Mishawaka is tough and I can't see anyone hanging with them this year.

beachbum21 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Mishawaka is tough and I can't see anyone hanging with them this year. Depends on what you call "hanging with them" but Perry Meridian hung with them right down the to the wire in their dual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin2win1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 in all fairness... remember Mishawaka also forfeited 103 that weekend when they wrestled PM, plus they did not have Reinheol, and I am not sure but they may not of had their 171.... either way Misahwaka's team will be much tougher at team state than they were at Bellmont. now that being said, i personally think that the championship match will take place in the first round with Cathedral vs Mishawaka. But my opinion and 50 cents might buy ya a can of coke if you can find an old pop machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cp is stacked but I wouldn't be suprised if there success doesnt come to the other weight classes. Those five are expected to at least get three for the team if not more, but the others on the team need to do there job and either win or go the full 6 minutes.

I agree with you that CP has an uphill battle to beat the cavemen, but Cathedral, CP, or PM can all hang with if not beat Mishawaka. No disrespect to the other four teams, but I feel the title will be decided amongst these four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
