1prouddad Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 As one of the most most prolific wrestling programs, EMD has been near or at the top for a while. But now, they lose 6 quality seniors going into next year. They bring back up a couple solid wrestlers in Schaefer and May but ALOT of big holes to fill. I know they seem to always find a way, but this looks like a bleak time right now. With other teams like CP, BB,Avon and a few others having some stud freshmen coming in Im not seeing that list for EMD. With that said, who does EMD coming in that could make some noise either as a freshmen or someone coming up from JV? Jayruss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinedad Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 if the CYO is as strong down there as it is in Indy, I still see EMD getting several kids to state and quite a few placers. That is what tradition does for you, kids step up because it is expected of them. Rebelj48, Cricket21, MUSKEEWRESTLER and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of this group they have 5 sectionals titles, 4 regional titles, 2 semi state titles, and two placers. All seven returners went to semi state. They won’t be what they’ve been the last few years but they’ll be a solid team. the middle school rankings don’t show any top 50 8th graders coming in but I’m sure they’ll have someone.

I stand corrected on my account. For some reason I thought Seng was a Sr. Only a sophomore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you call 2 state titles, a fifth place finisher and 7th place finisher? That's what we have without May and Critchfield. I'd be interested to see how you rate your own life. My guess is by these standards its far from mediocre. Mattyb, Jayruss and Dave Huff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get your "mediocre" rating of a team that, without Critchfield and May, placed 4 wrestlers and took home 2 state titles. Is reading that hard?

Let’s be honest, most teams of comparable classification (3a 4a) classes clawed those eyes out of the Orioles(3-12 record). To include those Wild kitties who walked out with a 46-22 drumming of the Orioles. Will be interesting going forward if Avon does have some of those young guns coming in or if they too abandon them and go to the greener pastures of the BB as others did. formercollegekid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamGarcia Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Just quoting what your fan Philly said about 3 weeks ago what the Kitties was going to do . Just wanna clear the air that in the future when those teams come down there there no chance of them Wildcats eating and scratching them !

md85 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 In the past 20 - 25 years. Misahwaka was the stud team. Portage had their time in the sun. Griffith, remember them? Lawrence North. Columbus East had some hammers for a while. Perry Meridian and Cathedral. One thing in common with all those eras, MD has been in the conversation EVERY YEAR. We haven't faded into the sunset yet.

ReformedPoster Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 MD has had down seasons before. Losing to castle two years in a row in the team state series, the year we only had two qualifiers and both lost on Friday night are a couple of examples. We bounced back. Next year's team will have big holes to fill and it will be nearly impossible to replace the team points they are losing. I think the lower-middle weights will be fine. I'm assuming Martin will be up at 195. Maybe Austin Vanover at 220. No idea who the 285 will be. We've got several semi-state qualifiers coming back that could get over the hump and get to state, but there are still holes that need to be filled. I think it will be CP and BB battling it out for the title next year. Dave Huff, ccv1937 and MOBUCoach 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
