SouthernBreeze Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 So let's get it started Teams ranked Mater Dei - they have some legit horses to make a run in February but this is NOT the unstoppable force they once were. With the loss of Nick Lee there is an obvious large set of shoes to fill there. It also appears that never ending well of reserves has all but dried up as of late. Only fielding 6 or 8 reserves has to be unheard of in Mater Dei history. Castle - bringing so tough kids into thisthis fight. Castle is on the opposite end of the spectrum from Mater Dei. A growing youth program is showing strong hints of paying off. Experience and hard work from these kids will put them into a better position as time goes on. Memorial, Central, Reitz - each have some tough individuals, but the over all team depth and number of horses needed to pull off a good showing in the SIAC is a question that needs to be answered. All three can place kids on thethe Mat at the Ford Center if not in Indy NorthNorth, Harrison, Bosse - each have solid individual possibilites. So it begins.

backtothemat Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 MD beat Castle 46-15 today, without Nick Lee and Will Egli. Looked pretty unstoppable to me. Castle is solid this year, and even had 5 individual wins against MD. But MD's bonus points in their 9 wins were impressive. Castle had convincing wins against Fern Creek, Bloomington South and Jeffersonville and an 84-0 win over Jasper. Mater Dei is still top dog in the south. Their feeder program is in good hands. And MD is still top statewide until this year's team state. Period. And I say that being a Castle fan. Castle will see the others soon so we will see how they stack up.

No one is saying Mater Dei isn't the top in the south west, but having seen some of the Indy area schools wrestle early this year, Mater Dei won't just walk in and take the trophy. Castle is young and in expirenced but impressive in their early season performance so far. It's a long year and a lot of things need to happen for a season to be a success. Individuals from each of the 8 SIAC schools have nice shots at taking conference crowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backtothemat Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 MD will have trouble with their current lineup at IHSWCA Team State. If Nick Lee and Will Egli get back in the line-up (Nick was drilling yesterday between matches but didn't wrestle), then they will be hard to beat. SIAC predictions of schools (Mater Dei, Castle, Memorial, Central, Reitz, North, Harrison, Bosse) who have a wrestler with a good chance of winning conference by weight: 106: MD, Castle 113: MD, Castle, Memorial 120: MD 126: CA, MD 132: North, Mem, MD, CA, Reitz 138: CA, MD 145: MD 152: MD, Memorial 160: MD, CA 170: CA 182: CA, MD 195: MD, Memorial 220: MD 285: MD, Harrison Not a lot of parity IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individuals from each of the 8 SIAC schools have nice shots at taking conference crowns while they may have some young ones on the team, I wouldn't say inexperienced. There's a reason why 5 starters in their line up are ranked 6th or higher in the SS ranking with 2 being ranked within the state rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1prouddad Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Do you have match by match results of the MD - Castle dual?I bet 113 was a good one. That's if it was Annakin vs Egli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU89 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I bet 113 was a good one. That's if it was Annakin vs Egli. Clay Egli wrestled 106. Baxter Annakin was in street clothes. I hope he's ok. Very good wrestler and a great kid. backtothemat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
