Great tournament, more importantly a great time.  Joe and his crew did a good job all day.

[cewrestlingfan]

This was an outstanding tournament.  Very well ran and kept moving smoothly through the entire tournament.  There were some very good out of state wrestlers as well as Indiana wrestlers.  I would have liked to have seen more of the top Indiana guys there, but there were alot of faces that will be seen at Conseco in February.

Great job Joe and IndianaMat for putting this tournament together.  In my opinion it was a great success!!!

Ashton Brierly and Garrett Goldman are two wrestlers that I was impressed with. 

Brierly beat a Fargo All-American from Kansas then a Missouri 3rd placer to make the finals.  He lost to a 3x Ohio placer.

Goldman beat an Ohio and Kentucky state placer on the way to his championship.

133:
Travis Barroquillo defeats Layten Binion 5-3 in the final

Barroquillo defeated Ohio state qualifier Max Roshkopf in the quarter-finals and pinned Missouri 6th place finisher Austin Smith in only 26 seconds in the semi-finals.

Goldman beat an Ohio and Kentucky state placer on the way to his championship.

Brierly's wins are more impressive knowing he came off of multiple injuries that set him back all of last year as well as part of a previous year.  Glad to see he is back on track and hopefully injury free this season.

Goldman doesn't to things the fancy way but he does make sure he is in position to capitalize on opponents mistakes and thats enough to get the win.

How about Brandon James @ 106 beating Rogiliner from Michigan last years state champ @ 103.  Is James only an 8th grader?

Good catch, I forgot about that one.   There were definitely some studs there and it was great to see such a high level of wrestling in September.

[119@88]

[Y2CJ41]

He listed 8th grade on his registration.

Also, wrestlingaddix.com will have a lot of the semi-final and final matches posted online sometime this evening.  I will post a link when they are posted.

I just watched the Brooks/Todd vid over at wrestlingaddix and at the end it was stated that Todd has tech-falled Cody Philips (Todd wasn't mentioned by name but it was at the end of the match).  At least that is the way I heard it.  When did that happen?  http://www.wrestlingaddix.com/?p=15549

[Y2CJ41]

It happened the same day I tech falled Andrew Howe.
