bell103 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The Jay County Sectional and Regional has not given wall charts out the last few years and say that there is an IHSAA rule that says that they can't..... but semi state and state is allowed to do it... So I was just wondering if other sectionals and regionals are following this "rule" and if they aren't how are they getting around it? All champions deserve to get a wall chart in my opinion.

phscoach Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Seriously? All champions deserve wall charts? Since when did the wall chart become the pinnacle of wrestling awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger.dad Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 if that's the case (that it isn't allowed), i sure see alot of tournaments that are breaking the rule.....and i think all of the kids like to get them and don't see why there would be a rule that says you can't....that would seem kind of petty to me.......

phscoach Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So your Sectional and Regional distributes wall charts to the champions? I think they do. I just am not sure that is what I would be concerned with this week. Does not receiving a wall chart diminish your championship? I understand that some kids like to have them as a memory, but that seems like a little deal in the big picture. One man's opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackwrestling Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Pretty sure I wouldn't have wrestled without the chance to earn these wonderful wall adornments. Is it weird that I still have them on my bedroom wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimtown 138 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It's like having a big Happy Gilmore check! All kidding aside, who hasn't won a metal wrestling and thrown it into a drawer and forgot where it came from. At least the chart says where it's from, who you wrestled, and how the match ended.

thewrestlingdude Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You need to push the issue with the AD it is not IHSAA policy several sectional and regionals give out wall charts to winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMAWRESTLER Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It is the AD's responsibility. I am pretty sure every sectional and regional hand them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bog190 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sounds like the gentleman from Jay County was out of line when he made that comment, or 31 of 32 sectionals are violating this "rule." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucwrestlermom Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It is true that they do not give out the brackets to the champs. My son won sectional last year and when I checked with the Jay County AD he told me that they were only allowed to give out what the IHSAA sends them and that the brackets were not included. He also told me that for his schools sectional/regional champions that he was going to get them and distribute them at their banquet and that I should check with our AD. Well I have done that several times since the Monday after sectional last year.....and we still don't have a bracket....Not that big of a deal, just nice to have for a memory later on....my husband still has all his!

Boot Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It may be a school rule that they don't give out anything the IHSAA doesn't send them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bog190 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It may be a school rule that they don't give out anything the IHSAA doesn't send them. Then it would be a Jay County High School rule, not an IHSAA rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller News Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It is actually another of the school's cost cutting programs. They have saved on the cost of 10 years worth of wall charts for the price of 2 bottles of White-Out. Shrewed business practice. In my opinion, if every host school does this, they'll no longer have to charge participation fees + my stock in Liquid Paper in go up. Yes! - early retirement.

XCard Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Seriously? All champions deserve wall charts? Since when did the wall chart become the pinnacle of wrestling awards? Well in all seriousness, a Sectional or Regional Championship is the pinnacle of some of these young wrestler's career. It would be a nice keepsake for them to have.

jdmdjm Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Jay County...Jay County seems like I remember some other wrestling issues with that school. Maybe the sectional and regional should be moved to another location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several other schools foaming at the mouth to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cradlesr4babies Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Its not like you cant get blank ones and fill em in. One year not gonna mention the school tourney but they gave a cheesey print out of the bracket on computer paper so I went to the trophy store and got a cardboard one and filled it in.

That same year The Richmond Regional postponed untill monday and every wrestler was able to compete. The results of their wrestling careers should be decided on the mats not by selfish adminstrators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
