old dog 4 Posted May 26, 2015 I was told this past week that Merrillville HS will no longer be hosting the Semi-State. It is going to be moving to Michigan City HS. For all those who hated MHS you now have your wish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbburn12 9 Posted May 27, 2015 That's great capacity wise. Just curious if Michigan CIty has the "infrastructure to pull this off. I know Merrillville has a lot of people working the Semi State. I guess as I write Michigan CIty seems to handle the basketball Regional well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestling Scholar 541 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) If the Merrillville semi-state moves, this board will get about 25% less posts due to lack of complaints about it. If it did move, would we regret that our critical complaints resulted in the move from Merrillville, then we would feel sad and nostalgic about all the good wrestling memories at Merrillville? Probably not Edited August 27, 2015 by Wrestling Scholar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
