3054Chris Traicoff Biography
CHRIS TRAICOFF ( 1917 – 1989 )
One of the toughest high school wrestling tournaments in the state of Indiana bears his name. Today, more than 20 years since his passing, the sport he helped establish at Calumet High School in 1939 is showcased in what CHS coach Jim Wadkins calls the “Premier Dual Meet Invitational in Indiana, maybe even the toughest day of wrestling outside of the Team State Championships themselves. It would have definitely met with Chris’s approval, I am sure of that.†But just
[caption id=attachment_3706" align="alignleft" width="210" caption="Chris Traicoff][/caption]
who exactly was this Chris Traicoff character and why did Calumet name its wrestling meet after him…especially since he made his mark in Calumet Region sports as their cross-country and basketball coach?
The 1935 Calumet Twp. valedictorian played basketball in high school because CTHS had no wrestling program. His interest in the sport of wrestling was sparked by his new basketball coach George Belshaw ( a Lowell, IN native and Indiana University wrestler under legendary Coach Billy Thom who won both a Big Ten and an AAU National title in the early 1930’s) who took the teaching and coaching job in the midst of the Depression. Chris said of Belshaw in a 1974 interview with Gary Post-Tribune sportswriter John Mutka, “He took me to a couple of high school wrestling meets in Hammond, then introduced me to Billy Thomâ€. Thom coached the Hoosiers to 7 Big Ten Titles and the 1932 NCAA Championship as well as the US Olympic Freestyle Wrestling team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. “In my freshman year I got beat up pretty badly, but that was an all senior team and I made it as a sophomore. Our competition at Indiana, just to make the team, was greater than we encountered in 95% of our matches.†Traicoff lost only one dual meet in three years and won IU’s Balfour Award twice. In 1938, his junior year, he was a Big 10 Runner-up and placed 3rd at the NCAA’s to earn All-America honors. In 1939, his senior year, he went unbeaten (10-0) and won the Big 10 & NCAA Championships at 175 lbs. He beat New York City College’s (CCNY), Henry Wittenberg, in his NCAA Title match, in a grueling overtime match that was decided by referee’s decision. Wittenberg continued wrestling in the international styles, and after World War II, won a Gold Medal at the 1948 London Olympic Games.
Traicoff returned to CTHS in the fall of 1939, as a teacher and coach, and began a fledgling wrestling program with 8-10 boys. He scheduled a sketchy dual meet schedule and took every boy to what was then an open State Tournament in 1940. It was a short lived program though, because in 1941 CTHS was closed because of overcrowding and the U.S. entered into World War II. Traicoff served as an instructor in hand-to-hand combat for the U.S. Marine Corps. He later served as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University for two years prior to returning to the Calumet Region. He also refereed both high school and college wrestling, including a couple of Indiana State Championships and Big 10’s.
He began what would be the second stint of a 32 year career at Calumet in 1947. He taught US Gov’t / Economics, served as Dean of Students, was the Head Basketball Coach, Head Cross-Country Coach, and served as the long time Athletic Director. His basketball teams won 298 games over two decades including four conference titles. His Cross-Country teams won seven straight conference titles, placed in the State’s Top 12 an astonishing 10 times and won the school’s only State Championship in 1965. He served as the driving force behind the construction of the CHS Fieldhouse, today the Gym inside is named in his honor. In 1965, he reestablished wrestling at CHS, and hired its first coach, Rolland Beckham. Today, both Traicoff and Beckham are members of the IHSWCA & Calumet Hall’s of Fame. For his contributions to high school athletics, and impact on the CHS athletic program (especially wrestling) we initiated renaming the Calumet Tourney, the Chris Traicoff Memorial Wrestling Invitational, upon his death in 1989. In 1992, we expanded the field from 8 to 16 teams and today several perennial powerhouses from around the state compete in this prestigious tournament. Traicoff once said of wrestling, “I owe much of my success to the sport of wrestlingâ€. Calumet Wrestling owes much of its success to Chris Traicoff…a true champion and pioneer for the sport at Calumet.

576Cavemen Survive Another Gauntlet
-- 5-0 at Bellmont Invite
Nobody would accuse the Mishawaka Cavemen of dodging the competition in their bid to repeat as team state champions for 2009. By looking at their schedule alone, everyone would get a pretty clear picture of whether Mishawaka would be the force they were last year.
The regular season schedule is now nearly complete. Saturday, the Cavemen defeated sixth ranked Bellmont 38-21, downed #2 Perry Meridian 29-25 along with defeating Whitko, Bloomington South and Evansville Memorial to run their season dual record to 16-0.
It does appear that Mishawaka is poised to make a strong run in defense of its state championship as they have faced nearly half of the states top twenty teams and beaten them all. If the schedule were not enough, the Cavemen have also had to battle injuries and ineligibilities that has left nearly a third of their projected preseason varsity line up either not wrestling or wrestling at something less then 100%. Rather then make excuses and wonder about 'what could have been', coach Darrick Snyder has used these hurdles as opportunities, not obstacles, for other wrestlers to step up and contribute against some of the state's best.
Saturday it was 152 pound backup, Marty Friedman who came up huge for the Cavemen. Subbing for an ailing, Tim Forte, Friedman scored a key win over #8 Blake Wood to help Mishawaka stay undefeated on the season. This was the swing match in a dual that saw Josh Harper get pinned in a tight cradle early in the second period and the Cavemen give up six uncontested points by forfeiting at the 103 lb. weight class.
It surely will be interesting to see if Mishawaka can stay healthy enough through the individual series to make it two straight or whether the likes of Mater Dei, Yorktown, Crown Point, Cathedral or Perry Meridian will be able to come up with the formula to defeat these resiliant Cavemen.
MATCH SUMMARIES - #1 Mishawaka 38 - #6 Bellmont 21The match-ups between state champ Josh Harper of Mishawaka and state placer Will Sheets along with top ranked Billy Baker of the Braves squaring off against #7 Christain Lentz highlighted this battle of longtime state powers.
With Mishawaka holding an early 8-3 lead, Baker scored an first period takedown by dumping a single. Lentz escaped late in the period to narrow the score 2-1 at the end of the first period.
In the second Lentz escaped early to tie the score at two until Baker was able to work a front headlock into a snap down position and was able to get behind the burly Lentz to take a 4-2 lead. Lentz was able to escape before the end of the period and the score was 4-3 at the end of the second period.
Baker chose down, quickly escaped and finished a third takedown midway through the third period, extending his lead to 7-3. Lentz made a flurry late, garnered an escape and takedown to narrow the lead to 7-6. The Caveman was forced to cut Baker and attempt a takedown to tie the match but Baker was able to counter and score, ending the match 10-6.
In the second battle of ranked wrestlers, #1 Josh Harper decisioned #6 Will Sheets of Bellmont, 8-2. Harper had a minor scare as he got a tad high riding with legs and Sheets sucked him under. Sheets was unable to hold him and only got a reversal.
#2 Perry Meridian 37 - #6 Bellmont 24
Bellmont started fast with wins at 215 and HWT. At 215 #1 Billy Baker rode #5 Chris Schafer the entire 2nd period and then escaped in the third, added a late takedown to take the win 3-0. AT HWT, tiny Daniel Meyer, who doesn't look like he weighs over 200 lbs muscled Devin Schafer to his back to collect a pin in 23 seconds. Just like that the Braves had a 9-0 lead and momentum.
Perry's line-up is too strong to let momentum build and just like a number one starter is expected to end a losing streak in baseball, the Falcon's young stud, Jared McKinley made short work of Bellmont's Blake Adams, pinning him with a cradle to cut the difference to three points.
Bellmont regained the momentum by picking up three close decisions at 112, 119, and 125. The Braves led 18-6 after six matches. Next up for Perry was #4 ranked Samson Cook who cut the lead to 18-12 with a pin in 1:02.
Sticking with the baseball analogies, Cook's pin was just the start of the Falcon's 'murderer's row' from classes 130 to 160. #8 Chris Goodwin @ 135, #10 Jacob Tonte @ 140, and #7 Jacob Taseff @ 145 all collect first period pins to swing the meet score to 30-18 in the Falcon's favor.
#14 Tyler Baker of Bellmont was able to momentarily stop the bleeding with his narrow 3-2 victory over #8 Blake Wood. At 160, Perry's #9 Chris Hudgins overcame two defeats earlier in the day to major John Mahlan, and 171 Jordan Robinson decisioned Grant Melcher to put the match out of reach at 37-21.
#1 Mishawaka 29 - #2 Bellmont 25Both Mishawaka's coach Darrick Snyder, and Perry Meridian's coach Jim Tonte issued promises earlier in the week. Tonte said that he thought his team was overrated but still could could contend for a state title. Snyder only promise was that his grapplers would handle both winning and losing in a better fashion than they did last year. It turned out that Snyder was correct, the Cavemen had no issues with attitude, and Tonte was wrong, the Falcon do not appear to be overrated at all.
Mishawaka started off hot, Dustin Boyd secured a decision on Perry freshman Andre Richards 4-0 and #7 Christain Lentz scored a minor upset with his 3-0 win over #5 Chris Schafer. Lentz rides with legs as well any big man in the state and used the hook to control Schafer the entire 2nd period, despite many strong scramble attempts by Schafer. Lentz was able to get off bottom in the third and finished a low double leg takedown to take the win.
Junior HWT Caveman, Travis Thomas kept things rolling for his team when he bundled up Devin Schafer in a crossface butcher to secure a pin with 20 seconds left in the first period. At 103 Perry's Jared McKinley took a forfeit to narrow the score to 12-6.
At 112 and 119, Mishawaka got rolling again with Paul Beck picking up a major decision and Matt Guerra defeated Jason Simmons 7-1 to stretch the Caveman lead to 19-6. Perry rebounded at 125 when freshman Kirk Johnson defeated Nick Schrader 8-3.
The score was 19-9 when 130 lb. wrestlers Samson Cook and Josh Harper took to the mat. Number one versus number four in the state, it had the makings for a great matchup. Harper gained the early advantage by using a wrist tie to pass Cook and get the initial takedown. Harper then rode Cook for the remainder of the period. Cook had choice to start the second and took the top position. The long armed senior proceeded to hook up a crossface cradle on Harper. The Mishawaka faithful probably were not to worried as Harper had fought off a similar cradle attempt by Cashe Quiorga at the Al Smith meet 10 days ago. It was not to be however as Cook turned Harper with surprising ease and garnered the pin.
The Falcons cut the lead to 19-18 when eighth ranked 135 lber. Chris Goodwin defeated gritty Aaaron Mersich 7-4. In a most entertaining contest, returning state champ Steven Sandefer avoided enough close calls and headlocks that came from all angles to major Jacob Tonte 22-13. This stretched the team score to 23-18. At 145, Jacob Taseff nullified Sandefer's major with one of his own defeating Alex White of Mishawaka 14-5.
Down by one point, the Perry fans had to be feeling good as they had favored wrestlers at the next two weight classes. At 152, Mishawaka backup, Marty Friedman took eighth ranked Blake Wood to overtime and was able to finish a takedown to win 3-1. Mishawaka's Dick Morin followed up Friedman's inspiring win with a minor upset of ninth ranked Cory Hudgins, 5-2. This put the Cavemen up 29-22 with one match left. Jordan Robinson narrowed the team score to 29-25 with his decision over Mishawaka's Drew Childress.

In the Evansville and Central sectionals, the big names rolled, while several upstarts made their presence known. The Castle regional--traditionally one of the toughest in the state--will feature a host of nail-biting first-round matches, semifinals and championship bouts.
106- Castle's Baxter Annakin bounded to a sectional title and is the favorite for a regional championship. In semifinal action, North Posey's Levi Miller will see the winner of the Harley Gorman (Mt. Vernon) and Kyler McKinney (Princeton) bout.
113- Southern Indiana wrestling fans breathed a sigh of relief when Mt. Vernon's Paul Konrath returned to action after a potential season-ending injury at the Big 8 championship. Konrath should see Mater Dei's Kyle Luigs in the semifinal. Logan Dilbeck of Gibson Southern will likely fill the other slot in the final. The trio also holds the top three rankings in the Evansville semi state. Don't be surprised to see them go at it again at the Ford Center.
120- After a two-month injury recovery, Reitz's Tyler Ferguson returned to action on Saturday. With only one match under his belt, Ferguson was sharp and mopped up the field. Mater Dei sophomore Will Egli has produced another stellar season and hopes to improve upon his fifth-place finish from the 2014 state tournament. Expect the duo to butt heads on the center mat.
126- Mater Dei's Alex Johnson looks to capture his third regional title. In order to do so, he will need to get past the winner of the Caleb Craig (Reitz) and Michael Polen (Gibson Southern) match. Craig and Polen are both very solid and will produce an interesting dust-up. The other side of the bracket will also be competitive, as Castle's 32-7 Braedon Clopton and North's 34-4 Nick Burke will meet for a title shot opportunity.
132- In his last six matches, Mater Dei's Nick Lee has spent less than six minutes on the mat. Ranked number-one in the state, expect Lee's rampage to continue. Mt. Vernon's Austin Bethel and Princeton's Chase Wilson should meet for a rematch of their Big 8 championship bout. The winner will meet Lee for the title.
138- A couple of weeks ago, southern Indiana 138-pounders began to re-think their weight class choice. There are five, top-shelf grapplers here; only four will advance. Gibson Southern's fifth-ranked Kyle Todrank will see Memorial's Johny Wargel in the first round. Both are seniors; one of them will see their high school career end here. Mater Dei's third-ranked freshman, Joe Lee, will likely meet Reitz's AJ Dixon in one semifinal. The Todrank/Wargel winner will meet Castle's ninth-ranked sectional champ, Austin Ramsey, in the other semifinal. Do not miss a match at 138!
145- Fifth-ranked Blake Jourdan of Mater Dei and Castle's tenth-ranked Patrick Schnell headline this very competitive weight class. Both are dynamic. Expect another exciting match. Memorial's Chance Williams, Central's Hunter McCormick and Mt. Vernon's Peyton Whoberry will fight it out to earn a semistate berth.
152- With a title this Saturday, Central's Isaiah Kemper will have earned three consecutive regional championships. Ranked second, Kemper will likely realize the accomplishment. On the other side of the bracket, Pike Central's Colton O'Neal and Castle's Jacob Farmer will meet. The winner gets Kemper in the final. Heritage Hills' Cordell Miller and Mater Dei's Mitch Lehman will also be in the medal hunt.
160- Populated by wrestlers who are defined by action, this class give the fans something for which to cheer. Castle's veteran senior Turner Lockyear has put up 37 wins on the season, in addition to SIAC and sectional titles. Lockyear's Warrick county rival, Tecumseh's Tristan McDaniel, scorched the field at Central. A senior, McDaniel looks poised for a post-season run. Do not overlook Tell City's Elliot Brown or Mater Dei's Nick Buedel, as both are capable of big wins and upsets.
170- 170 is a very balanced class, possessing three individuals with the potential to win. The toughest road belongs to Mater Dei's Ashton Forzley and Memorial's Noah Huelsing, as they will meet in the semifinal. Forzley, with a pair of state qualifications, is a big-match wrestler. Huelsing counters with a sizable gas tank and an early-season win over Forzley. Castle's Blake Jeffress, who finished second to Forzley at the SIAC meet, will inhabit the other slot in the final.
182- Mater Dei's 182-pound senior, Sam Bassemier, has wrestled a brutal schedule en route to a 26-1 record and continues to slide in the rankings, ending the season at 14th. On Saturday afternoon, expect to see him on the center mat. After this coming weekend, Tecumseh's Jeremy McKinley will no longer be off the radar. Expect him to give Mt. Vernon's Tyler DeKemper a very tough match. The winner earns a ticket to the final.
195- Beginning in the first round, when Central's Gabe Patterson meets the sectional champion, Jake LaMar of Castle, you will find many competitive matches at 195 pounds. Patterson, with his never-say-die attitude is likely the best fourth-place finisher in the field. Marcus Gahagen of Memorial will meet Tecumseh's Adam Lytle in another huge first round match. Gahagen has accumulated 21 wins against the backdrop of a tough schedule. Lytle suffered his first loss of the season at the Central sectional and will look for redemption. On the other side of the bracket, South Spencer's Keith Barclay will put his 38 wins against Vincennes Lincoln's Nic Dellion, the owner of 35 wins. The Barclay/Dellion winner will meet Mater Dei's Chase Anslinger in the semifinal. Try to pick 1-2-3-4!
220- If you have not seen Gibson Southern's Cory Klem, after Saturday, you will understand his sixth-ranking. Klem is up-tempo, strong and slick. He will be in the face off. Harrison's LaTerrance Kyles and Mater Dei's Kurtis Wilderman will dance in the bottom half of the bracket, in a rematch of their SIAC final. Mt. Vernon's Tristan Choate is formidable. He has spoiler potential and will look to maximize his regional performance.
285- Like 195, 285 has a number of potential champions. Mt. Vernon's Wade Ripple will square off with Tecumseh's Colton Dossett in the opening round. The duo has accounted for 53 wins against 12 losses. Pike Central's 24-2 Bryce Manning will meet Memorial's 27-11 Will Page, in another first-round barn burner. As sectional champs, Mater Dei's Adrian Butler and South Spencer's 42-7 RJ Shaw will also be in the hunt for a title.
Hook's Random Comments:
· Watch the Tecumseh fans. They are loud, rowdy and highly partisan. This tiny school provides the model of what wrestling fans should be!
· Hook's daugther, Hookticia, pointed out that Castle not only has huge slices of pizza, but offers baked potatoes "as big as your head."
· I love the intensity of Central's head coach, Mike Lapadat. How many calories does Lap burn on a typical Saturday? He is to coaching wrestling what James Brown was to show business.
· North Posey's coaches, Cody Moll and Sam Goebel, look lean and mean. I will wager, that with a week to cut, both could make weight.
I have been criticized for the fact that my previews are light on predictions. Since this is my last one of the year, I will go out on a limb.
These predictions are guaranteed.
· Mt Vernon's head coach, Tim Alcorn, will get very excited.
· At least once, in unison, the Mater Dei crowd will yell, "Two!"
· Castle will do an outstanding job of hosting.
· The Castle regional will produce a number of state placers...maybe a couple of champs.
· A Castle sectional vs. Central sectional post will be started on Indiana Mat.
"Your" welcome.

The Carroll Sectional will be a barnburner this year. If everyone wrestles to their seeds it comes out a dead even tie between Garrett and Whitko. Don't count out Carroll who was second in the NHC, SAC champions Bishop Dwenger, or defending 8X champions Columbia City. Another team to watch is Churubusco who has the horses to compete in the sectional. The team that comes to wrestle will win this sectional and the team race may not be decided until the final matches. This sectional boasts many great individuals from every team and will provide a great day of wrestling action in Huntertown.

509Carroll Regional Preview
Carroll High School in lovely Huntertown, Indiana will yet again play host to regional wrestling action on February 7th. For the seventh straight year the Carroll Regional will bring together the top four placers from the New Haven and Carroll Sectionals. In the team action, the host Bulldogs came away with a sectional title at New Haven and the Whitko Wildcats kept the Carroll trophy in Whitley County. This year looks to have many great match-ups that will be held in the old Carroll gym for the last time. Next year Carroll will have a brand spanking new gymnasium to show off to the wrestling community for sectional and regional.
103lbs
Undefeated Senior Austin Vore of Bishop Dwenger leads the field here. Other contenders include Mason Meling of Snider and Logan Ables of Carroll. Meling will have a very tough match-up in the first round with Columbia City's Derek Kissinger. Another great first round match will be between Austin LeTourneau of Whitko and Andrew Bowman of Homestead who only has two losses on the year.
112lbs
This weight class has four wrestlers with four or fewer losses on the season. Leading the way with the best record is Whitko's Jordan Gilbert who has a 33-2 record. Following close behind is South Side's Chase Farrell with a 32-2 record, Homestead's Andy Franklin at 24-3 and Snider's Alex Troy at 27-4. This weight class is a toss-up with all four of these wrestlers having a chance to come away with a championship.
119lbs
The 119lbs weight class will be just as competitive as the 112lbs weight class with three wrestlers having four or less losses. Dylan LeTourneau of Whitko comes in sporting a stellar 30-3 record, while Senior Marquis Williams of Snider and Harding's Cendric Morrison both come in at 25-4. Those three should win their matches in the first round with ease, but the last spot at semi-state will be a very good match. Garrett's Logan Lee and Homestead's Keelan Rushing will battle it out for a chance to wrestle at the War Memorial Coliseum.
125lbs
The headliner of this weight class is Bishop Luers' Tony Lovejoy, who placed 7th at state last year at 119lbs. He comes in with one loss on his record due to disqualification. In an ironic twist of fate, Lovejoy will be going against the wrestler that dealt him that loss in Dwenger's Michael Nix. The surprise Carroll Sectional champion, Whitko's Daniel Rothgeb comes in as a favorite to advance also. The key match-up at this weight class will again pit a Railroader vs. a Spartan as Garrett's Shea Novy and Homestead's Tucker Smith will lock horns. The other 2 vs.3 match-up will have seniors Daniel Thompson of Churubusco going up against New Haven's Jon Menefee.
130lbs
The fans will be chomping at the bit to see a fourth match-up between Carroll's Brock Norton and Columbia City's Austin Egolf. The sectional final match-up was a dozy as Norton dealt Egolf his third loss in an overtime thriller. The other interesting match-ups will be the first round matches between Leo freshman Garrett Weber and Michel Peaks of New Haven and Wade Thiel of North Side battling Cody Zink of Woodlan.
135lbs
This weight class could also have a rematch of the Carroll Sectional finals as the top contenders are Garrett's Jace German and Concordia's Kemlair Touloute. Their sectional final match was back and forth with German coming away with a reversal and nearfall with less than 15 seconds left to pull out the win. Both German and Touloute cannot overlook New Haven's Nate Bloomfield who comes in as the New Haven Sectional champion and Corey Botts of Leo.
140lbs
This weight class has three wrestlers with four or less losses on the year. Garrett's Bryce Schendel comes in with a 34-2 record with his losses at 135lbs. Justin Beck of Leo comes in with three losses, two to Schendel and Carroll's Reece Lefever comes in with three losses also, one to Beck and one to Schendel. The New Haven sectional champion Zack Zurbrugg will also be a competitor to look out for.
145lbs
The headliners at this weight class are state qualifiers Cam Friend of Leo and Corey Richards of Churubusco. Friend has won both match-ups so far this season, but they have both been very close matches with Friend getting the only two takedowns. Jon Timmerman has only three losses on the season and will look to follow in his older brother's footsteps. One interesting match-up could be New Haven's senior and first year starter Nathan Swygart against Garrett's freshman Brayden Moreau.
152lbs
This is probably the deepest weight class in terms of quality in the regional. The headliner is 2008 Cadet All-American Zac McCray, who seems to have hit stride at the right time. He is about the only lock for a first round win as the other match-ups are very intriguing. Lance McParlan of Churubusco comes in at 31-4 and will face Wayne's James Tabb who is 20-6, one of these seniors will wrestle their last match of their careers. Two other seniors will hit the mats when Jayme Schwartz of Woodlan will face Northrop's Austin Hyland. Hyland has four losses on the year, three of them to McCray and one to Anderson Highland's Sammy Bennett. New Haven sectional champion Nick Graham will face off with NHC nemesis Conner Lefever of Carroll in the other first round match.
160lbs
While not quite as deep, this weight class will have some interesting first round match-ups. Carroll sectional champion Jordan Hamilton looks to be the favorite, coming in with a 30-2 record. The New Haven sectional champion, Matt Klemm, look to knock off Hamilton. Ben Sowles of Woodlan will look to avenge a loss just two weeks ago to Austin Bussen of Leo in the first round. The best first round match-up will be Bobby Natusch of Homestead and Jarrod Lewis of Whitko.
171lbs
This weight class boasts four wrestlers with 6 or less losses and will provide some great matches. Defending regional champion Marqueen Suel looks to be the headliner, but he will have to avenge one of his losses in the semi-finals to Garrett's Luke Rieke. In the other half of the bracket Tyler Thomas of Carroll will have his hands full with his first round opponent Tyler Unsicker of Heritage. The loser will have to choose a new first name also. The other quarterfinal match-up could be interesting as Jerrod Hill of Churubusco faces off with Domminick Drummond of New Haven.
189lbs
The wrestler with the most losses here could be the sleeper of the weight class. Whitko's Tanner Larocque comes in with 10 losses as most of them were at 215lbs wrestling up for the team this season.  Other headliners include Kris Pappert of New Haven and Josh Grider of South Side. The first round match-up between Logan DeMarco of Garrett and Taylor Scott of Heritage will again provide the fireworks it did in the ACAC finals. Scott came from behind to beat DeMarco in the last seconds for the conference title, but this match-up holds more at stake as one wrestler will be done for the season after this match.
215lbs
Undefeated Aris Allen of North Side will look to spend a limited amount of time on the mat this week as he did last week. Ben Reusser of Carroll and Brad Mills of Homestead will both look to push Allen to the limit. Northrop's Moe Talamantes of the famous Talamantes bloodline will have a good battle in his first round match with Brad Shuler of Heritage.
285lbs
The heavyweight weight class will have some great match-ups as well. The projected semi-final between Korey Eck of Concordia and Joe Grueb of Woodlan will be a great match. Also, Harry Foster of Homestead will look to hand Whitko's Drake Brainard his 5th loss of the season in the other semi-final. Any of those four wrestlers could come away with the regional title.
484Carroll Regional Preview
Carroll High School will once again be the host of regional wrestling action. The atmosphere at the Carroll gym is great with all the fans right on top of the action. During big matches the crowd is very loud to the point of making it hard for the referee to hear the buzzer. Look for some great match-ups once again this week with some top kids in the state battling it out for a ticket to the War Memorial Coliseum next week. Some of the best weight classes include 145lbs and 119lbs where three state ranked wrestlers will go toe to toe for the second straight week. At 135lbs, 160lbs and 171lbs there will be two ranked wrestlers that could potentially meet in the finals.

469Carroll Regional Preview
Carroll High School in wonderful Huntertown, Indiana will once again play host to regional wrestling action on Saturday. The host Chargers will look to continue building on one of their most successful seasons ever. They are led by a quartet of seniors that look to leave the Carroll Fieldhouse with one last victory. Snider came out as the sectional winner at New Haven will look to continue their late season surge.
103lbs
This weight will be the tale of three seniors and a freshman. Leading the way is #11 ranked Andrew Bowman of Homestead, but he will be challenged by seniors Kris McKinley of Northrop and Jose Nino of South Side along with undefeated freshman Hayden Lee of Garrett. The 2 vs. 3 match-ups are interesting and could go either way, but this reporter will give the edge to the seniors.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Hayden Lee- Garrett
Jose Nino- South Side
Kris McKinley- Northrop
Andrew Bowman- Homestead
112lbs
The first round matches at this weight will all be very intriguing to watch with all of them toss-up matches. The easiest one to pick is probably Alex Richman of Heritage over Bryce Forrester of Columbia City, but don’t count out Forrester as he has the potential to knock off Richman if he is not ready to wrestle. Another interesting match is a battle of very familiar names with Colton LeTourneau of Whitko vs. Erique Early of Snider. LeTourneau is a very familiar name that has had quite a bit of success at Whitko and Early is the son of former state champion Erique Early. This weight also could be a clean sweep for the New Haven Sectional.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
James Johnson- South Side
Tommie Lockett- Harding
Erique Early- Snider
Alex Richman- Heritage
119lbs
This one of many weight classes where there will be a feature match in the finals. Chas Busz of Whitko comes in undefeated on the year, while Kody George of Homestead has only one loss. Busz went to state last year at 103lbs and will look to continue his march towards Conseco once again. The 2 vs. 3 matchups look to favor New Haven, but they will both be very close and could go either way.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Chas Busz- Whitko
Mason Meling- Snider
Ali Al-Timeemy- Wayne
Kody George- Homestead
125lbs
Two state qualifiers highlight this weight class. Last year Jordan Gilbert of Whitko advanced to state at 112lbs, while Homestead’s Keelan Rushing qualified at 125lbs. They are expected to meet in the finals, but both will be tested in the semi-finals with solid opponents.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Jordan Gilbert- Whitko
Jared Wilson- Snider
Austun McCray- Garrett
Keelan Rushing- Homestead
130lbs
The headliner in this weight class is Garrett’s 19th ranked Brayden Moreau who comes in with only one blemish on his record to date. Tony Elkins of Snider is the favorite in the other half of the bracket, but will be tested all day. His first opponent, Rance Harris is way better than his 17-15 record shows and Busco’s Adam Boggess has some impressive wins this year.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Brayden Moreau- Garrett
Reese Sieger- New Haven
Adam Boggess- Churubusco
Tony Elkins- Snider
135lbs
This weight could see a sectional finals rematch between Michael Nix of Bishop Dwenger and Corey Botts of Leo. Homestead’s Josh Kryder cannot overlook his first opponent or he will be sent home early.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Michael Nix- Bishop Dwenger
Jeff Clark- Carroll
Corey Botts- Leo
Josh Kryder- Homestead
140lbs
This will be one of the best weight classes to watch all day long. All of the first round matches have some intrigue and could go either way. The champions of each sectional should advance, but they do not have any gimme matches. The 2 vs. 3 match-ups are both interesting with the first being Logan Lee of Garrett against Justin Norris of Homestead.  Both are seniors and Lee’s past two seasons have been ended by a Homestead Spartan. Sean Cooley of South Side and Busco’s mini Brock Lesnar, Zach Armstead will also be a match to watch.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Cody Bays- Whitko
Logan Lee- Garrett
Zach Armstead- Churubusco
Cody Zink- Woodlan
145lbs
The sectional champions from this weight should cruise in their first round matches, but as usual the 2 vs. 3 matches will be the ones to watch. KC Corey of Snider against the Busco bad boy Jason Nicodemus will be a great match. The other match will be a clash of two sophomores with Brett Schendel of Garrett against Branden Baker of Homestead.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Jon Timmerman- Carroll
KC Corey- Snider
Brett Schendel- Garrett
Levy Francois- New Haven
152
This weight could feature round three of the Reece Lefever and Zack Zurbrugg series. So far Lefever has got the better of Zurbrugg, but you cannot count out the motivation from Bulldog coach Barry Humble. Zurbrugg will have to fend off a very game Isaac Steury in the semi-finals and cannot overlook the lad from Lion country.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Reece Lefever- Carroll
Carter Delaney- Bishop Dwenger
Isaac Steury- Leo
Zack Zurbrugg- New Haven
160lbs
With an average of just over four losses per person in this weight, it will be quite a test for the undefeated cat owner Conner Lefever. Arch nemeses Cody Conrad lies waiting on the other half of the bracket, but Conrad will have to fend off ACAC rival Garrett Weber in the semi-finals . The 2 vs. 3 matches will be fun to watch as Anthony Linnear of North Side will be battling it out with Alex Brenneke of Woodlan in a very good match. Garrett Weber of Leo will not have an easy time with Harding’s Trevon Carr either.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Conner Lefever- Carroll
Alex Brenneke- Woodlan
Garrett Weber- Leo
Cody Conrad- Heritage
171lbs
This is another weight that will be fun to watch from beginning to the end. #16 Jeff Enrietto of Carroll is the headliner here, but he will be tested all day long. Probably the best match of the first round will be Bishop Dwenger’s super soph Ben Evans against New Haven champ Skyler Messman. Messman has been hidden deep in the Humble Stable and burst onto the wrestling scene this year.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Jeff Enrietto- Carroll
Jeremy Salmon- Woodlan
Spencer Cooper- Leo
Skyler Messman- New Haven
189lbs
Yet another great weight to watch and it definitely will provide many exciting matches all day long. Three of the wrestlers here have been in and out of the rankings all year long and will be itching to get after eachother early and often.  The best first round match will be undefeated Redrecus McCurrie of Wayne against Austin Gibson of Garrett. Last year McCurrie defeated Gibson with a  late takedown to advance to semi-state. Another early match to watch is Braxton Siddons of Churubusco against the Harding Hawk’s Nolan Wilson. Wilson is an excellent athlete that will give Siddons a great match.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Spencer Raypole- Carroll
Braxton Siddons- Churubusco
Austin Striggle- Whitko
Redrecus McCurrie- Wayne
215lbs
Word on the street is #7 ranked Brad Mills of Homestead has pulled out of the state series due to an injury and this will make this weight class wide open. With Mills’ injury this could lead to a clean sweep for the Carroll sectional. Look for Moe Talamantes of Northrop to be the favorite, but he will be tested by Alex Jakacki of Leo.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Moe Talamantes- Northrop
Clint Davis- North Side
Alex Jakacki- Leo
Gage Andis- Carroll
285lbs
The big guys are highlighted by undefeated Josh Mitchell of Heritage. He will have a familiar face in the first round in Carroll’s Matt McClure who almost defeated him last year in this same exact match. Another good first round match will be Eastside’s Matt Beard against Homestead’s late replacement Deshawn Lewis.
Onward to the Coliseum(in order from top to bottom in the bracket):
Ta’Quan Walker- North Side
Vernie Starks- South Side
Matt Beard- Eastside
Josh Mitchell- Heritage

Team Race
This could be the easiest prediction of the whole regional, the host Chargers will keep the regional faceplate for the third straight year. They bring in 13 wrestlers with 11 of them having a higher “seed,†while the next biggest contingents are Leo and Huntington North with 9 and Columbia City and Snider with 8. Baring any catastrophic event the team race will be well and decided after the first round.
106lbs
SAC rivals Geoffrey Davis of Wayne and Ben Streeter of North Side are on a collision path once again. Davis won the SAC title match 13-6, but this one is more important as it will make the path to state a little easier. Get to the Carroll Fieldhouse early on Saturday as the 2 vs. 3 match-ups at this weight will be great with freshman Joe Just of Carroll going against sophomore gage Malott of Bishop Luers and a battle of freshmen between Leo’s Sam Richard and Garrett’s Brayden Shearer.
113lbs
Jack Franklin won a regional title last year at 106lbs and comes in with only one blemish on his record. He looks to be the favorite, while Carroll Sectional champion Joel Byman will need to navigate the rest of the field to meet him for the fifth time this year.
120lbs
This is probably the most anticipated weight class of the regional with three ranked wrestlers battling it out. Eddie Loraine, Hunter Langeloh, and Ben Cauffman all know the importance of being a regional champion in order to make the trip to the state finals. All three also are exciting and fun to watch, which will make for some high scoring matches. Dylan Demarco vs. Kyle Rothgeb will be a good first round match to keep your eye on.
126lbs
This is a weight you don’t want to miss either. Owen Doster is having a great season so far, but he cannot overlook solid opponents like Brandon Miller, Kobe Raypole, Drake Rhodes or Nik Hoot. Don’t be deceived by Rhodes’ 12 losses, he had a close 3-2 match with Doster just last week.
132llbs
This weight will be led by Columbia City senior Kyle Egolf. After having an injury shortened junior year, he has been on top of his game this year with only two losses. He could face a solid Ryan Shaffer of New Haven in the finals or another NHC nemesis Joel Arney of the host Chargers.
138lbs
While the Carroll sectional had a surprised 3 seed win the crown last week, at New Haven Isaac Eicher made quick work of his competition. He comes into the Carroll Fieldhouse without a loss for the second straight year. He will have some formidable foes looking to be the first to knock him off including super turtle Chase Downing and a pair of NHC rivals Nathan Smith of Columbia City and Joe Israbian of Carroll.
145lbs
Tanner Shipley is looking for his second regional title this year after finishing second as a junior. He will need to be on top of his game from the start. The bottom half of the bracket will be fun to watch as there should be good matches from the start of the day. Kyle Leland of Homestead has had a great second half of the season and North Side’s Logan Capps won a solid weight at the Carroll sectional last week.
152lbs
Carroll’s Josh Garman is looking for his second straight regional title at this weight and comes in without a loss. He could run into a solid Archer in Nate Garcia or NHC and sectional foe Cross Dietrich in the finals. Dietrich has a tough first round match against last year’s 145lbs regional runner-up Bailey Shockome of Huntington North.
160lbs
This weight is led by Bulldog Nick Potter who comes in battle tested. He will have to get through Carroll sectional champion Erick Loe if he wants to bring back a championship. One first round match to watch is Snider’s Jamison Stiebeling against Eastside’s Gage Delong. Don’t be surprised if the winner of this match ends up in the finals either.
170lbs
The Carroll sectional was stacked at this weight and it should show on Saturday. Cadet superstar Zach Davis comes in without a blemish on his record, but needed an extra stanza to get by Churubusco’s Caleb Partin. Don’t sleep on red hot Jacob Lay of Homestead who won sectional with a losing record out of the three seed.
182lbs
This will be one of the better weights to watch in the first round with three good matches that are all toss-ups. First Homestead’s Wyatt Clem cannot overlook Beck Davis of Garrett, who has shown he can battle with the better kids at the weight. Wally Grinager of Leo and Stephan Nix of Bishop Dwenger will square off in a match that is too close to call. Lastly, Russell Davies of Snider will battle Whitko’s Zach Baughman in the first round. If everything plays out by the seeds, you could see the 3rd match in four weeks between Carroll’s Kayne Duncan and Clem in the finals.
195lbs
The highlight of this weight could be Davis vs. Dunten III. So far Dunten has won two nailbiters in both the dual and sectional matches. However, neither can overlook the likes of returning state qualifier Tristin Anglin or guys like Mikey Rivera and Trevor Thomas.
220lbs
Blake Davis of Garrett seems to be the top wrestler here, but was pushed hard last week by Carroll’s Ammon Carr. This weight has many potential landmines as everyone comes in with solid records. Woodlan’s Edwin Barberena is a wildcard as he comes in relatively unknown with only three losses. Also you cannot overlook Layne Emery from Huntington North who won the New Haven sectional.
285lbs
The top three wrestlers at this weight come in with a combined 6 losses. This weight will feature a few size disadvantages as Columbia City’s Drew Cummings tips the scales at around 280lbs, while Bishop Luers’ Daemen Williams is around the 220 mark. Snider’s Matt Swartz is right in between and can wrestle with the best. This weight will be very interesting to watch as we will see the different styles and body types collide.
1823 12Carroll and Mendez look to dominate at Who’s #1
Jesse Mendez is making his third straight trip to FloWrestling’s Who’s #1 and Christian Carroll is wrestling in his first event. Both are looking to build upon a strong spring and summer and win their respective matches.
Carroll has been nearly unbeatable since last fall when he won the Grappler Fall Classic and followed that up with a Super 32 belt. This spring he was runner-up in freestyle and Greco-roman to eventual world champion Braxton Amos. After that he dominated at Fargo and won a Junior title at 220lbs. Carroll is the first Indiana wrestler to win a Fargo Junior championship and a Super 32 championship.
The match for Carroll will be the main event and a big guy super match. He will face off with the top ranked heavyweight in the country, Nick Feldman. Both “heavyweights” weighed in under 230lbs, so this is closer to a light heavyweight match-up. Feldman has won Beast of the East and National Prep titles to go along with winning at Who’s #1 a year ago. He’s an Ohio State commit and will be a great match-up for Carroll. This will NOT be a boring big guy battle.
Jesse Mendez is making his third trip to Who’s #1 and looking to be the first competitor to four wins in the event. The past two years Mendez has had to wrestle multiple matches, but this year he only has one in Michigan’s Casey Swiderski. Mendez has had quite a busy off-season that has included a trip to Russia for Junior Worlds, recruiting visits, and even being the grand marshal of the Crown Point July 4th parade!
His opponent, Casey Swiderski will look to pull off a big time upset and is likely the only one crazy enough to voluntarily take a match with Mendez. Swiderski is an Iowa State commit and according to everyone in the know has a similar style to Mendez with great technique, high pace, and tenacious attitude. Like Mendez, Swiderski has won three state titles in Michigan for Dundee High School. He was also a Fargo runner-up to Tagen Jamison of Texas. Look for this to be another great match.
The schedule begins on Saturday with wrestling starting at 7pm ET/6pm CT. Mendez will be the 11th match, while Carroll will be the final bout, match #14. You can watch all the action with a loaded card of the top wrestlers in the country on FloWrestling.
2067Camden Eppert Joins Wabash Wrestling Staff
Richard Paige Wabash Sports Information
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. –Wabash College Director of Athletics Joe Haklin announced Thursday that Camden Eppert has been hired as an assistant wrestling coach.
Eppert joins the Little Giant staff after spending the last four years as a member of the Purdue University wrestling team. During his career (2010-14), Eppert won 65 matches at 125 pounds, twice qualified for the NCAA Championships, and four times was named Academic All-Big Ten Conference.
"I am thrilled and fortunate to join the Wabash College wrestling program," said Eppert. "I am extremely excited to begin my career as a coach and help student-athletes reach their goals on and off the mat. I've had the opportunity to be coached and mentored by countless people who have shaped my approach and I cannot wait to get started."
[caption id=attachment_6735" align="alignright" width="150] Camden Eppert[/caption]
Eppert graduated from Purdue in 2014, earning a bachelor of science while majoring in Public Health Promotions. During his tenure in West Lafayette, IN, he was a three-time All-Academic honoree by the National Wrestling Coaches Association, a team captain as a junior and senior, and was named Outstanding Freshman in 2011.
As a senior in 2013-14, Eppert ranked fifth on the Boilermakers with 16 wins and was the 125-pound representative in 13 of 14 dual meets. As a junior, he posted a career-best 23 wins, including a 6-2 record in Big Ten dual meets. Over his last two seasons, Eppert was a combined 12 matches over .500 and won nearly 60 percent of his matches.
Eppert made his first NCAA Championship appearance as a freshman in 2011, following a fifth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships. He followed up with another NCAA berth in 2012, knocking off a pair of nationally ranked opponents during the meet.
"We couldn't have found a better hire for the position," said Wabash head wrestling coach Brian Anderson. "Camden is a proven winner and excelled on the mats and in the classroom while competing in college. He has strong name recognition across the state and is going to be a great help with our lower weight classes."
In addition to his successes on the mat, Eppert was a member of the Boilermaker Athletic Council, the John R. Wooden Leadership Institute, and was granted membership in Mortar Board, the national college senior honor society.
Born in Noblesville, IN, Eppert graduated in 2009 from Highland High School in Anderson, IN, winning IHSAA state titles in 2007 (103 pounds) and 2009 (119 pounds) to go with a 155-13 (.923) career record.
Entering his 11th season as the Wabash head coach, Anderson guided the Little Giants to their best-ever finish at the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships with a ninth-place finish in 2014. Riley Lefever became the first Little Giant to win a wrestling national championship, capturing the 184-pound weight class title. Wabash tied a school record by sending six competitors to the 2014 championship meet.
832Calumet/Traicoff Invite Preview
THE RUMBLE ON RIDGE ROAD
2011 TRAICOFF INVITATIONAL PREVIEW
The Chris Traicoff Memorial Invitational being held this Saturday is a sixteen team meatgrinder that will test the physical and mental limitations of even the best of teams. In four years of attending this event, I have come to see this weekend as the “real†start of the wrestling season. Most wrestlers are down to their weights and most lineups are set. Teams and individuals will find out if they are contenders or pretenders come Saturday night.
FIRST ROUND HIGHLIGHT MATCH-UPS
#2 CROWN POINT VS. HIGHLAND
The state's second ranked team and defending Traicoff champions, Crown Point should cruise in this region match up. There is one potential match up of ranked individuals at the 152 pound class. Crown Point's Jake Fuqua, ranked 11th in the state will take Highland's scrapy Mark Maldanado.
LOWELL VS. SOUTHMONT
Lowell is seeded eighth in this tournament and will take on the ninth seeded Mounties of Southmont. Lowell's line up contains more headliners with state ranked Jeremy Crocker (4th at 170) and Kenny Hughes (7th at 145) but must not overlook the boys from Crawfordsville who appear to have a solid group up and down the line up.
#17 LAWRENCE NORTH VS CALUMET
Lawrence North lost an excellent group of senior to graduation after they led the Wildcats to a state runner up finish. LN appears to rebuilding nicely early in 2011 under the leadership of former coach, Brett Crousure. The Wildcats are loaded down low with the state ranked Boston brothers and Alex Sparks. Calumet, under the veteran leadership of Coach Jim Wadkins, are strong in the light weights as well.
#14 INDIANAPOLIS CATHEDRAL VS. MUNSTER
Cathedral, the number four seed in the tournament, always start the season two/four weeks behind most other programs due to the yearly success of their football program. This should not matter in this opening round match up with Munster. One match to watch will be at 182 where the state's top ranked wrestler at 170, Tyler Willis, will likely take on 10th ranked Dominic Fimbinati from Munster.
#8 FRANKLIN COMMUNITY VS LAFAYETTE JEFFERSON
The state's eighth ranked team, Franklin Community matches up with the Bronchos from Lafayette. Franklin has five ranked wrestlers in their line up and should dispatch Jeff. An interesting match of ranked individuals pits Franklin's sixth ranked Luke Kriech versus #8 Adrian Brown for Lafayette Jefferson.
PORTAGE VS. FLOYD CENTRAL
The Portage Indians hired the greatest wrestler in their schools history, Leroy Vega, in an effort to return their program to the state's elite. Portage will have a chance to show the state how far they have come this Saturday. Floyd Central always fields a competitive squad and they are led by eighth ranked 106 pounder Terrence Kennedy. Kennedy will have an interesting first round match with Portages's Eric Peek.
#19 WESTFIELD VS VALPARAISO
The Shamrocks often fly under the radar in the Indianapolis area as well as state wide but coach Terry O'Neill has quietly built a top twenty program in northern suburbs of Nap Town. It will be green on green in the first round as the Shamrocks battle the Valparaiso Vikings. The featured match here is at 113 where Westfield's AJ Belden, ranked tenth in the state, battles Valparaiso's tough Max Buckley. Buckley is ranked fifth in the state.
#6 MISHAWAKA VS LAKE STATION EDISON
Are the Cavemen really back after last year's disappointing season? This question and others are likely to be answered Saturday. Mishawaka appears to be as tough as anyone in the state in their light weights. They are led by senior and fourth ranked Layten Binion at 126. The continuing maturation of the upper weights will be the key for Mishawaka.
