justadadnow Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 depends on wght class, 103 gotta be NC with Campell, Phillips, McKinley, Price, Todd, Harvey ect... at least one very good wrestler wont advance. same with 112, Nelson, Mullins, Kieffer, Royteck(sp) and the Crawfordsville kid is big and strong.

Smooth34 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The past couple of years, Merriville has definitely produced the most state placers and champs. However, these things tend to be cyclical. So I would be surprised for another SS to jump to the top of the list in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceshot Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The evansville semi-state isn't the toughest but it is up there. What major teams are in those other semi-states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I guess the question is do you rank this based on: A. Which semi-state just produces the most state champs. B. Which semi-states top 4 (per weight class) would do the best in state. C. Which semi-state has the most depth (per weight class) from the first round on. By the way the original post is made "toughest semi-state" this says to me choice C (or at least . In other words which semi-state would a person have the hardest time making it even past the first or second round in because of the depth of talent in every weight class. Not just which semi-state ends up having the most champions after state is over. To answer that question would take a much more indepth look at the entire semi-state worth of top wrestlers.

WildCatWrestler2008 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 By far it has to be Merrillville, last year Merrillville had the most State Champions and State Placers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITE ANGEL Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 On certain occasions I'd pick kids from the Merrillville Semi-State who didn't even advance to state to win the Fort Wayne Semi-State ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
219wrestler Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 M'ville by far is the thoughest semi-state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegionRoyalty Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I can think of one particular instance where a kid that would not have even made it to the Merrillville Semi-State would have won the Fort Wayne Semi State. As I go back into my archives... the Calumet Regional in 2005 at 119 lbs. was going to have in one semi-final Aaron Sessa of Lake Central vs. Javier Salas of Merrillville, in the other semi-final it was going to be Eric McGill of Munster vs. Brennan Cosgrove of Hobart. A shoulder injury ended McGill's season right before the regionals and DA REGION never got to see this take place, but one of these 4 would have been left at home for the Merrillville Semi-State. Sessa, Cosgrove, and Salas joined up with Adam Walters from Portage the next week at Merrillville, and Sessa went on to place 2nd in the state, Cosgrove was 3rd, Walters was 5th, and Salas was 6th. One of the 3 from the Calumet Regional may not have even made it to state that year because McGill had wins over Sessa and Cosgrove earlier in the 2005 season. How's that for how tough the Merrillville Semi-State is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorchedChair Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 WOW!!!! I don't think further argument is needed for the Merrillville Semee State after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdawg Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 New Castle 24%? Dreamcycles anybody? For Individual State past statistics point to M'ville. If you are looking at Team State Evansville or more accurately MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cut em Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm not from the region and i think the Evansville Semi-State is very very tough year in and year, BUT...i have no problem admitting that the Merrillville SS is the toughest in the state. The numbers do not lie people. If you think differently, you simply do not know Indiana HS wrestling as well as you think you do. Its almost no contest.

D-train Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 this poll should have been for what is the second toughest semi-state. and the cyclical thing goes from m-ville being way tougher, to just a little bit tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Wrestling Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Merr. Semi State has always produced top notch young wrestlers whom have went on into wrestle in college. This has been the case since the early 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
