KarlHungus Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Van Horn is 41-4 and a surprise finalist for many. Covaciu is undefeated and a returning champ. Covaciu is a Wisconsin Badger recruit. Covaciu has pinned his way into the finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PURDUEdad Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Kind of nice to see three of the ol' Mooresville Sectional class of '60 (uh, 160, that is . . .) make it all the way to the final four. Congrats! rdrodd1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Congrats to Jacob on winning the Mental Attitude Award, as well. A testament to the type of kid the Wisconsin Badgers are getting next season. Edited February 21, 2016 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdrodd1 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I was at a meet in Martinsville a couple of years ago when Burk was a freshman talking to a guy next to me. I made a comment that I was wondering if the Van Horn's would ever stop reproducing. Seems like these kids have been wrecking havoc on midwest Indiana for about 15 years or so. The young kid next to me happened to be one of Van Horn's brothers and he started laughing and assured me that Burk was the last of them. I am sure that the cycle will begin again in the near future. Great job Burk and look forward to see you climbing the ladder to the top in the near future. PS....You guys need some new singlets. quinnsDAD, OldManStrength2117 and Wrestling Scholar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnsDAD Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hassman will have to retire before they change singlets! Lol Congrats Burk on a great season. rdrodd1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Scholar Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hassman will have to retire before they change singlets! Lol Congrats Burk on a great season. Those singlets are so outdated. We were talking about that last night. Good wrestlers, bad singlets at Franklin Community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Franklin has different singlets they routinely wear rdrodd1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURDUEdad Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Actually, Burk wore Franklin's new singlet in his win against Warren earlier in the day, but for some reason opted to wear one of the older ones under the lights . . . See, he may be a little old school too, like Coach Hasseman. Speaking of Coach Hasseman, I imagine he spends more time caring about the wrestler in the singlet than the singlet on the wrestler... ontherise219, quinnsDAD, Loki27 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrodd1 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Heck, I was at a tourney last year and that old Coach Hasseman was reffing. My little knucklehead Mikey was wrestling and doing some kind of crazy stuff. He was only 5 and Hassman asked "Who is teaching this kid how to wrestle"? I pointed at Tonte. He just laughed. What a great coach you guys have. Wouldn't want to go through his workouts though. PURDUEdad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great coach you guys have. Wouldn't want to go through his workouts though. Thank you. Coach Hasseman came to Franklin thirty years ago and accepted the challenge of building a program that to that point hadn't had very much success. Franklin is still not a very big high school (around 1,600) but his hard work (and, perhaps, hard head . . .) has paid off. While there have been a few of his high school wrestlers (and maybe even a ref or two) that he has "gently nurtured" from the sidelines, it is a hoot to watch him with the little kids in Franklin's club. I doubt he visits the forum much . . . His dial-up webernet thingy is probably too much of a hassle . . . Loki27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
