Cathedral on FIRE

Recommended Posts

I'll make the unpopular statement here....   in a tournament where every point counts, is it a good thing when one of the best wrestlers in the country leaves points on the table choosing to run a take down clinic rather than pin a guy?  It's not a not on Brayton himself, but on the strategy used.  I have no idea how close the final tally will be, but it would be tough to convince me that he couldn't have pinned his 3 opponents.  Maybe not, but I think he could do anything he set his mind to today.  Listening to Brayton's interview now.  Sounds like an incredible kid.  So take the "critique" with a grain of salt, but if you need the 1.5 points he left on the table, maybe I have a point.....

Slivka giving his girl Maddie a shout out at the post championship interview is a classic C-Grove move!

He had to show some form of assertiveness tonight...he certainly didn't in the match with Hunt.  Sour grapes, I know...

So, with Cathredal winning today and not being at the Team State, who's the real Team Champs 

Well I think brownsburg wins in a dual but that's not what matters anymore to the IHSAA so I guess it depends on what you mean by "real" champs. I Just hate it that our team championship isn't decided by the whole team. Brownsburg and Cathedral did a great job by getting 7 and 10 guys to state but that's not the whole team. You have some semi states that from year to year are quite a bit weaker than others seems like that gives a team an advantage going into state.

Yeah you're right. He's not in the running for the Brennan Cosgrove Trophy if that makes you feel any better.

Lol nah the old country buffet after our 5th place finish soothed my soul that year ?... but in saying that NC lost 4 times to the hands of EMD from 94-01...and it wasn't fun any of those times I promise lol..But emd beat everybody back then, so I don't dwell on it... the aura of invincibility they had back then was strong.. their fans also were a great weapon too.. you couldn't hear yourself think once they got going.. they def represented to the fullest!

Those days of the fans are a thing of the past at Mater Dei in my opinion. The number of wrestlers have been dropping in the wrestling room and also through their feeder league. Only those who love the sport are following it but the kids aren’t the same either it is a different look for them and it’s sad.

It was a gauntlet of a season starting with 2 Top 10 duals out of the gates in Avon and Warren. We were also one of the few programs to hit both the Traicoff and the Al Smith. We wrestled against 8 of the Top 10 programs in the state (sans Brownsburg and EMD). I am convinced that our schedule had these boys battle tested by the time the State Series came around. 4 in the finals with a couple near misses in Bailey and Walendzak showed the team unity that these guys shared. They were definitely wrestling for each other. You could see it in Slivka's face when he clinched it. The Indy Star article says it all.

Better news is we are returning 8 of our 10 finalists next year and adding Zeke Seltzer to the mix. Should be a fun couple years ahead for the Irish. I am grateful to our coaching staff for their preparation. Congrats on the trophy, all. Proud to be Irish.

MD wrestlers  is on another level back then... but their fans were on another level too. At state every year you could hear them roar and take over the crowd. 

Craig Weinzapfel beat me in about 25 seconds and it was the worse pain I had ever been in during a wrestling match. Those guys were brutal!
