3632012/2013 Genius Ratings Potential
From the desk of Maligned:
Most data through December 8 matches is included. Â All ratings should be taken very lightly until more connections can be made between schools. Especially any school with less than five in the "competitions" column should be considered quite inaccurate at this point. Also, we're still filtering out some post-football results that may accidentally be here and shouldn't.
Remember that POTENTIAL is based on point results only (not wins and losses) and is a much stronger predictor of future success than is a wins/losses based rating.
No strength of schedule data is included at this point because it is a virtually useless calculation until more matches are wrestled.
Enjoy!

362Indiana's Fargo Cadet Greco results under the microscope
Indiana Cadet Greco results: There was the good--excellent runs by Jared McKinley, Grant Anglemyer, Kirk Johnson, and 7th place finisher Sean Mappes. There was the bad--one total medal and really only 2 close calls. And there was the ugly--8 "0 fer 2 BBQs". To be fair, Indiana isn't known as a Greco powerhouse, so the results weren't altogether surprising. Mappes, McKinley and Johnson all made their presence felt, winning a combined 14 matches against some pretty stout competition. Hopefully, a lot of these young men can use this valuable experience as a springboard for the coming season and next summer's Fargo expedition. A hearty congratulations to Sean Mappes, for his fine placment in a stacked weight class.
Cadet-105 - Jason Sipher (Fishers), 0-2 with a bye. Opponents' W/L 2-4.

361Happy First Birthday IndianaMat.com!
It is hard to believe that IndianaMat is one year old today. It is amazing how the website has grown over the last year and continues to grow each and every day. Even to this day I am shocked at how fast the site has grown. The start of the website and its subsequent growth has been tremendous and could not have been done without the help of numerous people. First and foremost I want to thank a couple people who egged me on to start the website. Eric McGill and Diana Szymborski both were instrumental in getting the site started. As I was anxious to post my wrestling wisdom(or lack of it) it was apparent that it would have to be done on another website. They both encouraged me to start a new website, especially after I told them it wouldn’t take too long to start up. After debating it for about an hour I pulled the trigger and the site was born.
Obviously this board would not have gone far without others that have helped too. Chad Hollenbaugh has helped as a moderator, writer, idea maker, and voice of reason. Most of the time when a new idea is presented it was his idea first. While Chad and I have been friends for quite a while, I even reached to a former arch nemesis for help with the website. Dingo Brigade aka Cameron Drury and I have had many heated debates before, but I knew that he was a great writer and someone that was also very passionate about the sport. He has helped write numerous articles that are well thought-out and very interesting.
Reaching out to an online nemesis is one thing, but a coaching nemesis is another. Corey Sparks has helped from day one with the logos for the website. He has helped tremendously in making the website look extremely professional with his hand crafted logos. He always very fast with something and has designed the great logos you see all over the site.
One of the things that really set the site apart was the rankings. This summer W.I.N. magazine’s Rob Sherril told me how great the rankings where on the website at Fargo. It was very surreal to have a national rankings guru tell me that they visit the website and specifically the rankings. So a big hearty thanks definitely goes to the rankings guy. It is amazing that he can put together such accurate rankings when he is living out of state most of the season. I also want to thank the coaches, fans and parents that send him the pertinent information about who beat who and all that good stuff. The rankings are only as good as the information provided and it was top notch last year and will continue that way.
Along with the individual rankings come a very good set of team rankings. Team rankings are even tougher since many of the top teams do not see each other during the season and with weight shifts it’s hard to truly tell who is a better team. Decbell aka Dane Fueling has done a wonderful job with them and they will only continue to get better.
I would also like to thank the moderators for doing their jobs. Wrestling fans are some of the most hard headed people I know and with many differences in opinions, the moderators have kept the conversations mostly civil. Thanks to them for doing their jobs and letting me work on things on the backend of the site.
Two weekly awards we do are the wrestlers of the week for both high school and youth. This was one of the first articles we started and it is great to see that it has taken off like it has. This is a great way to give recognition to the wrestlers every week. I want to thank Wendell Chitwood for doing the work on the high school portion and Keith Wilson for doing his work on the youth portion.
This site was started with money out of my own pocket. It has grown to where now it is pretty much self sufficient. Without help from the sponsors this would not have happened. If you see one of the many people that have advertised on this site, please say thank you and patronize their businesses and camps. Without great people like them, this state would not be near where it is today in the sport of wrestling.
Lastly, I want to thank all of the wrestling fans in Indiana that patronize this website. Without you, this site would not exist. This site was made for you and will continue to be something that promotes all portions of wrestling in Indiana. Indiana wrestling fans are great people and very passionate about the sport. Please keep the ideas coming on what you would like to see on this website as we will try to give the fans the best and most extensive coverage of wrestling in Indiana all year long. I would also like to thank everyone that bought a t-shirt or donated money. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and with those funds this website will keep running for years to come.
Sorry, I have one last person to thank. That is my wife. She has been there from the beginning and been very supportive of this endeavor. She put up with many late nights, trips to wrestling meets and even me kind of ignoring here when I was working on the site. She has been on numerous trips, such as going to interview the wrestlers at Calumet College and to state. Believe it or not I have never heard a complaint from her. Thanks from not only myself, but the Indiana wrestling community. If you see her at a meet, be sure to thank her for all she has done behind the scenes.
361Toe to Joe with the Kieffer Twins
1.      Who is the toughest wrestler you have faced in competition or in the practice room?
Justin: The toughest wrestler, I have to say Brandon Wright. He has such great head pressure and motion. He was very quick, he and I wrestled so much, it made each other very predictable. He made me so much better as a wrestler.
Josh: Beside my brothers Justin and Joe. It is hard but during my 10th. grade I had Mullins twice, Jackson twice, Hawkins in the State Championship. Brandon Nelson, he and I wrestled several times, he always knew what I was going to do before I did it.
[caption id=attachment_2284" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Justin Kieffer (Photo by Gary Moore)][/caption]
2.      How did you get started wrestling?
Justin: I started wrestling in 4th grade in attempts to become a better football player.
Josh: My dad took us to wrestling practice to make us better open field tacklers in football. My brothers and I just really enjoyed it.
3.      Which of you is better looking and why?
Justin: We both have our good and bad qualities, we are twins.
Josh: Me, I have all the girlfriends. I just let Justin hang out with us.
4.      Do you have any superstitions or rituals you do before a match?
Justin: I always listen to my IPOD, do the same stretches, and touch the mat at start of each match.
[caption id=attachment_2285" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Parade of Champions Josh on the left, Justin on the right][/caption]
Josh: To many to put on paper. I wear same shoes, headgear for the last three years. Both have seen better days.
5.      How do people tell you guys apart?
Justin: I have blonde hair and Josh has black.
Josh: He is bigger and has blond hair, I have black.
6.      If you didn’t wrestle what other sport would you be dominating?
Justin: Basketball, I played all my life and debated between that and wrestling before my 9th. grade.
Josh: Golf
7.      Describe your first wrestling match ever?
Justin: In 4th grade at Holy Name grade school. All I knew was the half. I used it in the first match and pinned the kid.
Josh: 4th. grade at Holy Name, Coach Louzon was my coach. I recall being very nervous. We were told just go out and take them down, throw the half in.
8.      You’re in the third period in the state finals going for your third title and down by one point with 30 seconds left and on your feet, what move are you going to hit to bring home title?
Justin: Blast Double
Josh: Low single
9.      Who is the most influential person in your life?
Justin: My parents
Josh: I have several, my family, between my parents,grand-parents, all my aunts and uncles and cousins. We are very close.
10.  You vs. Coach Ellis in his prime, who wins and why?
Justin: Ellis, for sure he is an absolute monster on the mat. He beat's up on me now, so I could not even imagine what he was like in his prime. It is an honor to wrestle him now, he is the best IMO, he set the bar.
Josh: Ellis, he is still a beast.

361IHSWCA Team State Duals: The Good and Bad
Yesterday I had the privilege of attending the first of hopefully many IHSWCA Team State Duals championships. There has been lots of criticism and praise of the event from the selection to the date and everything in between. It was a great day of wrestling and for the first go-round, it was spectacular. As with anything in life if you don’t strive to improve the product will suffer. Here are some things I saw as a casual fan and promoter of the sport.
The Good
1A Teams and Fans
[caption id=attachment_4708" align="alignright" width="300] Adams Central celebrates after a big win[/caption]
During the finals the fans and teams really got after it and every match was exciting. It was a great atmosphere and it seemed the kids and coaches had the most enthusiasm of any of the classes. You could tell Adams Central and Churubusco put a lot of stock in this event and each point scored was cheered by each squad.
Coaches and Schools getting excited for the event
Lots of schools made this event a big deal and it showed in not only things like t-shirts, but fan support. Great job to everyone that made this tournament something special.
Mater Dei bumping up
It is very rare that a team will bump up classes, but Mater Dei did and lost by the slimmest of margins. Thank you for not being a big fish in a small pond Wildcats and getting after it with the big boys.
Refs
The refs were great and were “not seen†for most of the day. Great job by the IHSWCA getting the best refs in the state.
Awards
The awards were top notch for everyone and not only will the participants have great memories they will have a great keepsake to go along with it.
The Bad
Fans for the Finals
I was disappointed to not see many casual fans or fans from teams not in the finals staying to watch the last three matches.
Team Scoreboards
It was extremely difficult to keep track of the team score of each match if you didn’t have TrackWrestling on your phone.
People complaining about the process
I for one am not shy about criticizing the IHSWCA, but this time they did a great job with what they had to work with. I would love for an in-season “wildcard†to be awarded, but there is no feasible way of doing this. Maybe our IHSAA Commissioner will give us a weigh-in exemption and we can do this…hint hint Mr. Faulkens!
Suggestions
While the IHSWCA did a great job and hit a home run with this event, I feel that they are still not even close to what this event can be. Here are a few suggestions that they will hopefully look at for the future.
Facilities
Westfield has great facilities that 99% of the schools in the state are jealous of, but the place was cramped on the floor. The IHSWCA should look into having the event at a place like the Pepsi Coliseum at the fairgrounds. That would add a lot of flare to the event and give it more prestige with it being held outside of a high school.
Team Entry Fee
It seems weird for the IHSWCA to invite a team, then charge them to enter the event. What about waiving or reducing the entry fee if a team sells X amount of presale tickets? This is a great way for teams to save money and get more fans to the event. This would also be a great way for teams to recoup some of their expenses if the IHSWCA would give teams a cut of their sales after X number of tickets sold.
Promotion
This is where I feel the IHSWCA really dropped the ball. This event should have been shoved down the throats of the fans of the sport since the start of practice in late October. Â Have someone create a webpage(not in MS Word) with all the information for the event. Maybe ask some person at IndianaMat for a banner ad and other promotional help, they seemed to do well with that preseason event in September.
Sponsors
Need more sponsors! This is a great event and there seemed to be a lack of sponsors. Sponsors could help with securing a facility like the Pepsi Coliseum and reduce team travel expenses. Hotel sponsors would love to give a reduced rate for people attending the event. Restaurants would love to hand out coupons and such. The list goes on and these companies would love to have acknowledgement during the event.

This year is another small group on the women's side, but they do not lack experience or credentials. Leading the way is Kayla Miracle. Her resume is as long as a seven year old's Christmas list. This year she became the first female to qualify for the IHSAA state finals along with winning the Body Bar FILA Cadet age division in May. Kayla participated in the Cadet World Championships last year along with winning a Cadet National Title and finishing second in the Junior division at Fargo. Another returning All-American is Gibby Paxton. She was 8th last year and looks to improve on that finish. Brooke Bunch will look to bring home some hardware in her second trip to Fargo. First timers Courtney Grey and Lindsey Prozanski are looking to continue the trend of very good women's wrestlers from Indiana on the national stage.

352Pound for Pound Best Wrestlers for November 4, 2009
IndianaMat.com is proud to announce the preseason pound for pound best wrestlers in Indiana. This distinction is voted on by 15 members of the wrestling community throughout the state. Each person votes their particular way, weighing both in state and national competition. The voting is very subjective and always up for debate. Leading the way for the preseason is Jason Tsirtsis of Crown Point. Tsirtsis had a great summer and fall, placing second at Fargo in freestyle and second at the most competitive preseason tournament, the Super 32. The next in line is two-time state champion Sean McMurray of Portage. McMurray's summer and fall has been spent training and he also committed to wrestle for the Michigan State Spartans next year. The number three spot belongs to Warren Central's Brandon Wright. Wright is fresh off a runner-up finish at the Super 32 and has reached the state finals all three years in high school. The fourth spot belongs to state champion Frankie Porras of Hobart. Porras had a good spring finishing 7-1 at the Brute Duals.
Michael Duckworth of Union County was picked number five on the list. Duckworth captured his first state title last year after a runner-up finish as a sophomore. Two Crown Point wrestlers are at six and seven on the list. Eric Roach comes in at number six after winning his second straight Preseason Nationals title last week. State champion Anthony Hawkins is at number seven. The eighth best pound for pound wrestler is Union County's Cody Phillips. Phillips is going into his sophomore year without a loss after an undefeated season last year. Two-time state placer Sammy Bennett of Anderson Highland is next on the list. Bennett has been to state three times during his career, finishing third and second the past two years. Rounding out the top ten is Brenden Campbell of New Castle. Campbell finished 8th at Fargo after bowing out of the high school season due to an injury. Campell is also undefeated on his career so far.
1. Jason Tsirtsis- Crown Point
2. Sean McMurray- Portage
3. Brandon Wright- Warren Central
4. Frankie Porras- Hobart
5. Michael Duckworth- Union County
6. Eric Roach- Crown Point
7. Anthony Hawkins- Crown Point

352Genius Ratings Potential 12/17/2011
POTENTIAL is specifically designed to be the best possible predictor of future results. It was designed 5 years ago by Maligned and is virtually identical to rating systems currently being incorporated Jeff Sagarin at USA Today, Joe Lunardi at ESPN, baseball analyst Bill James, top Las Vegas odds-makers, and others. This system locks in a team’s true potential by measuring its score differential within the context of its schedule, considering a team’s context to the 100th degree of separation from other teams, if necessary. The difference in rating between your team and another is the expected point differential in a dual meet. Multiply the difference in rating by three to arrive at the expected differential in a full-team individual tournament event. The predictive effect is most useful for teams within about 40 points of each other. (The top teams and bottom teams are separated by impossibly large margins because a top team can beat a good team by 40, which can beat a mid-level team by 40, which can beat a bottom team by 40).

347NFHS Announces 2010/2011 Rule Changes
NFHS high school rule changes: Appropriate dress for weighins addressed
By Bruce Howard NFHS 04/23/2010
Appropriate Dress for Weigh-ins Addressed in High School Wrestling
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (April 23, 2010) – A revision in the appropriate dress for weigh-ins in high school wrestling was among four rules changes approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Wrestling Rules Committee at its April 5-7 meeting in Indianapolis. The changes, which were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors, will take effect with the 2010-11 season.
“The committee felt the need to make very few changes because the sport of high school wrestling is in good shape,†said Dale Pleimann, former assistant executive director of the Missouri State High School Activities Association and chair of the NFHS Wrestling Rules Committee. “Two of the changes deal with minimizing risk, one deals with privacy issues and the other change was clean-up in a mechanics procedure instituted last year.â€
Regarding weigh-ins, previously both male and female contestants had to weigh in wearing “no more than a suitable undergarment.†Beginning next year, specific language has been added regarding what constitutes a “suitable undergarment.†Male and female contestants will be required to wear a suitable undergarment that completely covers the buttocks and the groin area. In addition, for female contestants the suitable undergarment must also cover the breasts.
Bob Colgate, assistant director of the NFHS and committee liaison, said the change was made to consider privacy issues for all individuals involved with weigh-ins.
The committee also addressed the process for an offensive wrestler assuming a legal starting position. The following statement has been added to Rule 5-20-9:
“Once the offensive wrestler has assumed a legal starting position and is stationary, the referee shall verbally say ‘set’ and then pause momentarily before starting wrestling.â€
“This rule change will eliminate either wrestler gaining an advantage by using a rolling start,†Colgate said. “It also eliminates the need for the offensive wrestler using a specific sequence when assuming a legal starting position, including the optional offensive starting position.â€
Effective with the 2010-11 high school wrestling season, any contestant who shows signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion shall be removed immediately from the match and shall not return to competition until cleared by an appropriate health-care professional.
The previous rule directed officials to remove an athlete from competition if “apparently unconscious.†The previous rule also allowed for return to competition based on written authorization by a medical doctor.
“Given that the vast majority of concussions do not include a loss of consciousness, but that athletes often show obvious evidence of concussion, the NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) strongly believes that referees must continue to be empowered to remove these athletes from competition, thus protecting them from further injury,†said Dr. Michael Koester, chair of the SMAC. “Continued participation in any sport following a concussion can lead to worsening concussion symptoms, as well as increased risk for further injury to the brain and even death.
“The safety of the athlete is of paramount concern during any athletic contest. Referees, coaches and administrators are being asked to make all efforts at ensuring that concussed athletes do not continue to participate. Thus, coaches, wrestlers and administrators should also be looking for signs of concussion in all wrestlers and should immediately remove any suspected concussed wrestler from competition.â€
In addition to wrestling, the new concussion language is being placed in all NFHS rules books for the 2010-11 season, as well as the “NFHS Suggested Guidelines for Management of Concussion.â€
The Wrestling Rules Committee also added the “rear-standing, double-knee kickback†to the list of illegal maneuvers. Colgate said this maneuver, which is being used more frequently at the high school level, clearly puts the opposing wrestler in a dangerous situation and at a high risk for injury.
Perhaps as significant as the changes approved by the committee was one that was not. After much discussion, the committee voted against changing the wrestling weight classes and will stay with the 14 weight classes currently in place in the NFHS Wrestling Rules Book. Three proposals were considered by the committee this year on changing the wrestling weight classes.
“The response from member state associations was divided equally between Option B and making no change,†Pleimann said. “The committee, with no clear choice from the membership, did not believe it was appropriate to make a change in the weight classes just for the sake of change. However, the committee did request the NFHS to conduct another survey on wrestling weight classes during the 2010-11 season.â€
Three “Points of Emphasis†were issued by the committee for the 2010-11 high school wrestling season: Concussion Recognition and Management, Communicable Disease and Fleeing the Mat.
Wrestling is the sixth-most popular sport for boys at the high school level with 267,378 participants in 10,254 schools during the 2008-09 season, according to the NFHS Athletics Participation Survey. In addition, 6,025 girls were involved in wrestling in 1,034 high schools.
