former130 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. You could say that about every semistate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theMachine Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 !m-VILLE!! EXAMPLE; LAST YEARS 140 WEIGHT CLASS: TOP FOUR ALL PLACED IN STATE; DILLION, WARD, SANDEFUR, AND MILLER. AND ELVIDGE, RANKED FIRST ALL YEAR, WAS BEAT OUT BY DILLION! TOUGHEST SEMI-STATE FOR SURE, AT LEAST THAT WEIGHT CLASS LAST YEAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparticus Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 M'Ville SS produces state champs that dont even win semi state.. its pretty nice to see 2nd places and 3rd places at semi state to turn around and win the big show.... 135 last year McMurray lost to galka in semi state then returned the favor the next week under the lights... 145 (2006) Biddle losses to lawrence then takes 3rd in semi state and wins the show the next week. in 2006 McGill vs. Walters was a constant battle all year. they were in the finals in SS and under the lights in Conseco wrestlin for the title... now these are just a few cases i am familiar with....probably more than this too.....

cewrestlingfan Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I agree that recently it has been Merrilville then Evansville. However, this year New Castle appears to be very tough and may have more champions and placers than Evansville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I just crunched some numbers,and based on the number of top 10 and top 3 ranked individuals feeding in I have the following: #1 - New Castle (46) #2 - Merrillville (33) #3 - Evansville (30) #4 - Woodlan (28) I grew up always going to Merrillville, and I think that it usually has the best depth and is the strongest, but this is a year that has a lot of very good wrestlers around Indianapolis. I have to throw my vote to New Castle this year (for once). I also have data for regionals and sectionals if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cewrestlingfan Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nice work Boot. My guess though, is when all is said and done, Merrillville will have more state champs and state placers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to throw my vote to New Castle this year (for once). I also have data for regionals and sectionals if anyone is interested. Based off of this and the other number crunching that WCS145 did in the other thread, it seems the top two should be Merrillville and New Castle. WCS145 showed the following as far as how many kids placed at State last year: Merrillville: 36 placers - 6 champions New Castle: 30 placers - 4 champions Evansville Reitz: 24 placers - 2 champions Woodlan: 22 placers - 2 champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I guess all we can say for now is that it's going to be one great show down at old Conseco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatChick76 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I think this year (or maybe the past few years) I'd have to say Merrillville, but historically, I think I've got to give the nod to Evansville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiralride1 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Merrillville. You've got the Region and Mishawaka, enough said. The same can be said about any ranked team....not just the state champs. If it's based off of last year's state champs then Evansville has been tops throughout (Bloomington South in the early years and MD for almost 2 decades). I think a more interesting "theme" to look at is the different styles that come out of each SS. I see Merrillville as having the more "flashy" styles. Most of their quali's are slick on their feet and have high octane offense. Being from So. IN I feel the Evansville SS advances more blue collar wrestlers. They are not experts at any one area, but are tough and all around hard working kids. Just a thought....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busstogate Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 dont mean to sound like a noob...but whats the Region? sry ??? "Region" is short for Calumet Region, which is named for both the prominent Indian tribe who lived in these areas of Indiana, which also gave its name to the Little Calumet and Grand Calumet Rivers that many of the cites in Lake, Porter and southern Cook County in Illinois adjoin. The region is probably more named for these rivers than the tribe. They also call this area Illiana, but that usage has been minor. Side note: "calumet" is also a name for the peace pipe, which is very befitting from the times I have spent over in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinedad Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 dont mean to sound like a noob...but whats the Region? sry ??? OK, I am hoping that you have not been in Indiana for very long, And while I dont know the exact geographical boundries, the "region" is in the northwest corner of the state up near Chicago.
