EasyRider Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 After reading results and watching matches around the great state of Indiana this year, I think the Region (Northwest) has the best shot for another team title. Mishawaka and Merrilville have pretty deep rosters, which we all know it takes to win a team title. Although CP has some great wrestlers, it doesn't appear they have the depth to repeat this year. I haven't had the chance to catch Yorktown this year, so I can't be certain. It just seems that there are some really good programs in the region. Coach Maldanado keeps putting up a strong squad year after year.... gotta have a great feeder program. ER 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I would love too be we really can't claim Mishawaka in the region. But I have seen both teams I think Mishawaka would get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regionrat1 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 lOOKS like we might have a chance to see in Febuary. Don't tink da dogs are gonna do it dis a year. However I tink da have a shot at da coaches trophy. 3 champs and maybe a couple of placers. Ole coach Maldonado can turn grape juice into fine wine by da end of da season.

EasyRider Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think that maybe I should have said SS? I always include Mishawaka because of the Individual semi - state. Things get a little confusing there. ER 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth11 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Just to set the record straight Mishawaka is NOT nor ever will be ?the region?. You can claim us all you want but we do NOT claim you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuneFan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Truth11 Boy for your first post on the board you sure show what an -------------------7 letter word you are. When they count the individual winners at state from each semi-state don't include the South Bend area then. The Merrillville semi-state has had the most winners for the last few years and most of them are from the region. When it comes to the Merrillville-Mishawaka match I'll pick Mishawaka and I don't think it will be close. Mishawaka has no weak weights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth11 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 DuneFan: Once upon a time we (when I say we I mean the Northwest and Northern part of Indiana which includes Mishawaka, Elkhart, to what is now self-proclaimed ?da region?) all used to share the same area code of 219. However, in the mid-90?s the Michiana area switched over to 574. This may seem like unrelated events but I think it is a great metaphor for this topic? You didn?t leave us, we left you.

MattM Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Here the region and info about it according to wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Indiana Sure its not the best site for citing term papers, but it does provide some decent information about topics like this.

Even though we shared the same area code. The region has alwats been the northwest tip of Indiana.

DuneFan Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 TheTruth and MAJAM152: Please review the previous posts. I did not refer to Mishawaka or the South Bend schools as region schools. I believe it was made by EasyRider. However, since your schools are in the region sem-state(Merrillville is in the region) I do root for your individuals when they are wrestling somone other than a region wrestler. It is no wonder that some of the region fans harbor some hard feelings against people like you that seem to think that there is nothing but scumbags in the region (NORTHWEST INDIANA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedsister Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 OK - well this is fun. How about back to the subject?! After watching Mishawaka this weekend, I don't see anyone close to beating them. Ontherise - you think that's how the matchup could end up, but you'll be surprised. Mishawaka is solid in every weight class. Even where you think they'd be weak - they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuneFan Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I agree 100 0/0. I can't see anyone coming within 10 points of Mishawaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I don't think Mishawaka is weak in any weight If you can run through the Triacoff like that you are my pick for team state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macdaddy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Portage has wrestled both! I would have to give it to Mishawaka. They have too much talent and alot of depth. Not to mention that they have been there the last 4 years in a row! Coach Maldanado always gets the most out of his "athlete's". But Mishawaka has alot of talented wrestlers. And I don't think Merrillville will run up the bonus points on Mish. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 From how they match up, it looks like the matches could end up 7 each and come down to bonus points. I wouldn't count Merrillville out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
