To bad it couldn't g0 the whole match with full ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what makes wrestling great, two kids who have never met Jeremy before yesterday felt bad for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awood2 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I was not at Ft. Wayne this weekend, but have wrestled and refereed at Ft. Wayne War Memorial Coliseum over several years. I have heard many comments over the years about how hard the mats are at Ft. Wayne. I have seen many injuries resulting from an impact on the mat at Ft. Wayne. I am referring to situations that you wouldn't normally expect would result in an injury. If you have ever had to experience carrying, rolling out, or just plain contacting a cold wrestling mat it is about the texture of a diamond! This may have nothing to do with Jeremy's injury. The topic prompted my comment. Get well wishes for Jeremy and the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Computer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 This years set-up looked different to me. I thought that in past years the mats were placed on top of the removable basketball floor to give more "bounce." This year the mats were right on the insulation separating them from the ice. I have my share of senior moments (and I don't mean HS senior) and I may be remembering it wrong. It just looked different. On Matthew Gerber, the few times I've spoke to him he seems like a fine young man as are his cousins, the Fiechter brothers from Southern Wells. I'm glad Matthew was able to advance, but felt sorry for Troy and Darrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying dragon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 on the comment about the Mats at the FW Semi State ... My son alway's told me he hated to wrestle there because the Mats we rock hard and cold they should do something about that to prevent injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awood2 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 As a referee, and an old man, I can feel a huge difference in my body after refereeing on that surface. The old joints ache and my back is even worse than the good days. I agree, they could do more to protect the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 AC Computer, it as been that way for a few years now as far as the mats being on the ice covering. I will have to look at the tape from my senior year, but I vividly remember it being on the basketball floor that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlersd2002 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 They need to find a new venue for the Ft. Wayne Semi-State. We think it would be better to wrestle it at a big high school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Computer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 They don't need a new venue. There isn't a better one for the fans in NE indiana. They just need to get the mats away from the ice so they don't get hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Lone Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I think the Coliseum is the best venue in the state to prepare the wrestlers for the State tournament the following weekend. The atmosphere is similar. The whole lower level is cold. Wrestlers need to really get warm before they wrestle. Some of the injuries may be caused by not getting their bodies ready in a cool environment. Moving venues would not be good for the fans, the wrestlers, or wrestling in general. My deepest sympathy to Jeremy Hill, Coach Kerrn, and Jimtown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
