Falcon06 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Saw some good duals yesterday. What were some thoughts on the outcome? Mine are..... CP was the clear favorite. I thought Avon deserved a higher place than they got (5th) but I know that's how the cookie crumbles with the brackets. Pool A was a crazy bracket - MD, PM, EC and BB. EC beat Brownsburg 52-45. MD beats Perry 52-31. Perry beats BB 72-25. Then BB turns around and takes it to the last match vs MD but loses to MD 36-33. PM defeats EC 54-39 in another close one. That was a wild pool. 4 Solid teams. I didn't get to watch a lot of the other matches in the other pools, but did see some close ones going on. CG vs Franklin for 3rd and 4th was wild. Overall I thought it was a pretty good day of wrestling. Congrats to all the kids who competed and to CP for winning ANOTHER championship. Elementary Runner-ups. Middle School Champs. IHSWCA Team champs. Can they bring home another IHSAA individual championship in a couple weeks!? Pretty wild.

DCHawks149 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) We just got to change the seeding format. I mean its the same thing ever year. Every year and year after and next year and I am sure for all eternity. Plus teams should be deducted team points for no table help.

Raven27 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I wish they would have a small division Team state in Middle School like they do in Elementary, but I am thinking that Alexandria could have held their own in it this year.

Falcon06 Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 I also just realized how crazy Pool C was. Everyone ends with at least 1 loss. New Pal beats the eventual 3rd place team in the state but gets last in their pool. WOW EliteAthleticClub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, would love to see something like that for this event. I will definitely attempt to get into it next year for sure. Is there any possibility of that happening as this continues to move forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven27 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 It would also be nice to see them use IHSWCA middle school weights too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Coop Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 We (whiteland) considered this event this year, we probably would've finished middle of the pack. We went down to the wire with Perry last week in a dual. One of the reasons we opted not to compete was most of central indiana wrestles 22 weight classes for middle school and this event only had 17 weights. As a team with a majority above average kids, it hurts us when you cut out 5 weights where other teams with hammers can spread their kids out. Every team that entered is 3a-4a for wrestling except one they should have no issue filling weights. If the goal is to increase participation and find the best "team" cutting out 5 weight classes makes about zero sense. Raven27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven27 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I did see a bunch of Forfeits though. Filling a roster is hard for sure but I agree I think it helps to grow the sport and give more kids oppurtunity to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmsmelby Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 90% of the FF were at the very bottom or very top. Weights added would mostly be between 100 and 195 which would be easier to fill. Raven27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
800lbs Gorilla Mama Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Crown Point and Avon were the 2 best teams. Crown Point beat Avon by 8 in a very good duel. Crown Point beat the 3rd place team by 70 and the 2nd place team by 38. Avon did have to FF 80 all day. Avon did win all of their other matches. Now to be fare, Brownsburg was missing 5-6 of their best MS kids who went to wrestle somewhere else that weekend. Avon may have only been missing 1? Not sure if Crown Point had all of their top kids? It is a great Tournament, just hard to seed. Crown Point and Avon met each other in the first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
