We were also one of the few programs to hit both the Traicoff and the Al Smith. We wrestled against 8 of the Top 10 programs in the state (sans Brownsburg and EMD). I am convinced that our schedule had these boys battle tested by the time the State Series came around. 4 in the finals with a couple near misses in Bailey and Walendzak showed the team unity that these guys shared. They were definitely wrestling for each other. You could see it in Slivka's face when he clinched it. The Indy Star article says it all. Better news is we are returning 8 of our 10 finalists next year and adding Zeke Seltzer to the mix. Should be a fun couple years ahead for the Irish. I am grateful to our coaching staff for their preparation. Congrats on the trophy, all. Proud to be Irish. Congrats on a great day yesterday! With the addition of Zeke, I see the same result next year! IndianaWrestlingGuy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is his projected weight I have heard 106 or 113? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Zeke just won IHSWCA Middle School State at 117. I know he has dropped for national tourneys with CIA recently though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were at least a few individuals who lost matches during the season, too, who were named state champions because they won under the lights on Saturday night.
