Even though two schools are consolidating, and others closing. It doesn't change the fact of what they were during the qualification process. Other wise you open up a variety of argument issues for teams. What argument issues would you be referring to? You are in favor of keeping schools that will not exist next year in the classification for next year? Zero logic in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeDuPont Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) I agree with the guy from Jay County. If you add the three closures to Tech or even half, it brings them to over 3000 students. Close Northwest, Broad Ripple, Arlington, Turkey Run & Rockville, then add Parke Heritage you end up with 302 schools. Cannot make assumptions on Shortridge or Attucks, but past precedence (Muncie) should be followed with Tech. This should divide you to 100 / 101 / 101 , which moves Jay to the 100 slot. However, EMD chooses to move up to 3A which then moves them to 100 and Jay to 101 and the move to 2A. In my opinion due to the ridiculous difference in students from 1 to 100. I would like to see the IHSWCA consider adding another class, although the gap is still large, it makes sense. Class 4A: 32 Teams - 8 Qualifiers Class 3A, 2A & 1A: 90 Teams each - 12 Qualifiers Is it along the same lines what IHSAA does with football? Yes. But the IHSWCA follows the IHSAA in regards to school reconfiguration every two years when the information is available to do so annually. Which even makes more sense as it seems we have closures and consolidations annually.

They're 100th in enrollment among all IHSAA schools. Unfortunately, they would be the last or next-to-last school in 3A in every feasible scenario for handling the IPS situation.

I understand that however, adding Tech back into the mix puts Jay at #100 of qualified wrestling schools. With the closures of the a fore mentioned schools and the consolidation of two would then make the total qualified wrestling schools to 302, which should then make the classes at 100/101/101. Now with EMD choosing to move to 3A they would become #100 moving Jay to #101. Am I thinking wrong? If we moved to four classes, which it at the very least should be discussed, its a moot point.

If a team has 6 state champions returning, that gives them 150 points. At best they would be in the voting procedures, but very low. bog190 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are teams that entered 2 or less wrestlers. Teams that enter 3 or more wrestlers are considered. Because you have a better chance to win a dual with 3 wrestlers than you do 2 (sarcasm) Or, what the 2 yahoos above me said Edited February 2, 2018 by infowrestling decbell1, Y2CJ41, bwoodjc89 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any specific argument it was a generalization, but someone will come up with something. In the end, the fact that we have to base a next year's team and state situation on this year results will always be the biggest issue and argument. There are plenty of teams that end up being worse the next season but still qualified, while other teams end up being more competitive the next season and probably belong at the team state tournament. But we have to deal with what we get. The IHSAA dropping team state was a huge black eye on our sport. What the IHSWCA has been trying to do, although not the perfect situation, is what we need for our sport. The team atmosphere is what can help programs build numbers. bog190 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also doesn't seem right to include teams that mathematically can't win a dual meet. That's where inclusion and champion collide within the system. We are wanting to build a model that hopefully the IHSAA will adopt one day. There guidelines for inclusion is much different than the common person with wrestling knowledge. They also only care about the outcome and money. One champion, one profit. Until there is actually someone within the IHSAA that has an understanding about not just our sport but all sports and what coaches need and want. It will be an uphill battle.
