boomer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 This is the 2nd year we have gone to this tournament. It is a well run tournament with some good competition from Ohio and Michigan (several placers and ranked guys). They do the finals right with one mat under a spot light. Champs also get a pretty cool custom jacket, plaque and a medal. They are trying to get more Indiana teams to come over. The goal is to have equal teams from Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. If you don't have a holiday tournament your going to and want some good wrestling then shoot them an email. It's right across the border in Defiance Ohio. Next year they will also have their new school done with a larger field house, should be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guy from my brief interactions with him. I'd recommend it over the Fricker's Duals after how they treated Shenandoah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Schuller from Woodlan was runner up at 113, Zach Burrell was runner up at 126 and beat a Michigan d2 #7 ranked kid along the way. I did some quick checking and these are the ranked kids I found, only one from Indiana and that's Hunter Reed.

bulldogs6 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Lapel went. Kids really enjoyed themselves and got some great wrestling in as well. Harrison Hadley (106) 5th Sparky Manis (113) 8th Lost to 120 #13 Kobe Cunningham 6-2 Cully Upperman (126) 5th Lost to 125 #7 Cade Stephenson 3-1 SV-1 Mark Fensler (138) 5th Kids had a little problem with adjusting to stall calls on top when riding with tight waist. I personally enjoyed how the officiating went, quicker with stall warnings and stalemates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
