melco Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It's too bad that are so many Forfits in alot of the weight classes. Let's start discussing predictions and upsets in each of the classess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldwrestler Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You see so many forfeits because the SAC has been so weak recently. The sectional has been a two team race between Homestead and New Haven for a while now, followed by Heritage and Woodlan, though Snider can usually produce a few good individuals. I really don't see too many upsets, and most of the #1 seeds should hold, although 160 and 171 seem like tossups to me. If the seeds are right, Homestead gets five champs, NH gets three, Heritage gets three, and Snider, Woodlan, and Wayne all get one. (On a side note, Ill be rooting for Waynes first sectional champ in a while, Red McCurrie, kids a stud and freak athlete.) Homestead should walk off with their second straight sectional title.

AC Computer Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Didn't New Haven win last year? I thought I remembered them in the team regional at AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Computer Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You were right. Just checked the results on IHSAA page. Homestead won last year, New Haven in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melco Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah, I think your going to see some upsets from some of the #2 seeds, also Snider has really improved this year and has only one starting Senior on the line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1oldwrestler Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 According to my sources Snider has a .5 point lead over Homestead after 160. This will be a big upset for Snider if they can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlaw1981 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yes, Snider won by .5 over Homestead. Congrats to Snider and their new coach. Who is the new coach? What happened to their last coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldwrestler Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Who is the new coach? What happened to their last coach? Someone that actually knows what happened to Coach Early should respond to this (would be nothing but rumor if I posted what I heard) but the head coach for Snider this weekend was Seth Congdon.

1oldwrestler Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Two years in a row that sectional came down to a half point, WOW! It was pretty crazy finish Joe. In the wrestleback match to decide who goes for 5/6 and who goes for 3/4 at 285 were Snider and Homestead. The Homestead kid had only wrestled one varsity match (he's a soph but this was his first season wrestling at the h.s. level) and is in the lineup only because the regular 285 for Homestead is out with a skin condition. The Homestead kid wins the wrestleback match against the Snider kid, then in their final matches the Snider kid gets bonus points by pinning his kid for 5th and the Homestead kid gets bonus points for pinning his kid for 3rd, within a couple of minutes of each other. It was a crazy atmosphere for sure. The difference between Snider and Homestead is that Snider placed 13 of 14 wrestlers in the top 6 whereas Homestead only placed 10 of 14 in the top 6. Having 4 more individual champs than Snider wasn't enough for Homestead to make up that difference. Those wrestlebacks mean everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.G. Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm guessing anyone who really knows what happened with coach Early's situation isn't going to post it on a public forum. But since the coaching change was made mid season it was most likely due to the coach making an inappropriate decision that either placed an athlete in danger or that did not reflect upon the program in a professional manner. Either way it seems as if the program is better off and on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
