julio Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Andrew is still in college, so his hometown would still be Cedar Lake where his parents live. Reece and Angel are out of college and are living on their own now, so their hometown would be where they are living and training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awood1 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Andrew is still in college, so his hometown would still be Cedar Lake where his parents live. Reece and Angel are out of college and are living on their own now, so their hometown would be where they are living and training. I get that, and my motivation is strictly selfish reasons. But since college I have lived in at least 10 different addresses and every time I was asked, regardless of where I was living at the time, my response has always been and will always be Elkhart, IN. The feeling is fostered by the ongoing argument with CA folks about the "quality" of wrestling in selected regions. I am proud of the fact that CA still has 1 true state champion at each weight. But to get the equivalent in IN, you would have to have the state champions from IN, ILL, OH and MI wrestle. Kids in CA retort, "If wrestling in the Midwest is so tough, how come CA kicks their ass every year at Nationals!?" Being able to point at Reece, Howe and Angel as "Indiana boys" make my case much stronger!! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 awood1: Ohio and Illinois each have more overall depth than California--not per ca pita--straight up. And Indiana and Michigan have much more quality per ca pita than California. I posted this a while back: Calculating the Top 25 High School Wrestling States from The Open Mat --by maligned One way of judging the quality of high school wrestling in a particular state is by looking at the depth of top quality individuals in that state. Top quality individuals are indicative of good programs and a competitive environment. As an outsider, I can objectively say that TOM does an excellent job with its national high school Top 20 individual rankings. They are extensively researched and compiled very logically. As I did last year for a discussion board topic, I have used a point system to identify both frequency and quality of top individuals in each state as one way to evaluate that state?s relative high school wrestling strength. Using TOM?s rankings of 470 individuals nationally, I gave each state 10 points for an individual that appears in the Top 20 and 5 points for an individual appearing in the honorable mention section. Additionally, I added 20 points for a #1 ranking, 19 for a #2 ranking, 18 for #3, and so on, down to 1 point for a #20 ranking. So, a #20 position equals 11 points total and a #1 position equals 30 points total. These points give each state a ?Total Depth? rating. After this, I calculated the number of points scored for each state per 1 million residents of that state. I call this the ?Wrestling-Crazy? rating. It essentially shows the Top 25 states? quality per ca pita. In other words, regardless of population, how ?into? wrestling is each state. Finally, I compiled an Overall Top 25 HS Wrestling States that synthesizes the two ratings for equal value (total strength plus ?craziness?). Only states with at least 5 individuals ranked were considered. Overall Top 25 High School Wrestling States (Average of ?Total Depth? and ?Wrestling Crazy?) 1 Pennsylvania 96.2 2 Iowa 80.0 3 Minnesota 70.6 4 Ohio 70.4 5 Illinois 60.5 6 California 42.7 7 Oklahoma 41.6 8 New Jersey 37.3 9 Indiana 35.4 10 Michigan 31.7 11 Wisconsin 30.0 12 Nebraska 29.2 13 Oregon 28.4 14 Missouri 27.6 15 Virginia 26.0 16 Maryland 21.5 17 Florida 20.6 18 Nevada 15.1 19 Georgia 14.8 20 Washington 14.5 21 New York 10.7 22 Kansas 10.2 23 North Carolina 8.0 24 Texas 6.2 25 Tennessee 6.1 Total Depth (Total raw points, times 0.13) Pennsylvania 121.1 Ohio 85.4 Illinois 76.3 California 71.1 Minnesota 58.5 Iowa 46.3 New Jersey 40.3 Michigan 36.0 Indiana 32.8 Florida 29.5 Oklahoma 27.8 Virginia 26.8 Wisconsin 25.9 Missouri 24.6 Oregon 19.2 Maryland 18.7 Georgia 16.7 New York 15.5 Washington 13.7 Nebraska 11.5 Texas 9.6 North Carolina 8.9 Nevada 8.0 Kansas 5.6 Tennessee 5.6 ?Wrestling-Crazy?
