I still like the team, but man does it suck not having Baumann, Buchanan, or Sollars. I think we knew ahead that Seltzer and more likely Mendez would be on team USA, but we’re really out most of our nationally ranked guys.

The beach claimed multiple wrestlers from this team. Didn't have this problem 6 years ago with only one kid turning down the offer and that was to wrestle at FloNationals.

That’s unfortunate, but understandable. Last spring for most of those guys, cause hopefully they spend the next few March’s wrestling.

I understand why they would be on team USA, but didn't Brayton and Mason wrestle on team Indiana when it was their turn?

I don’t know if they wrestled at Pittsburgh, but I think you’re thinking of the Dream Team classic which is different.

Brayton and Mason did not wrestle at the Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic. They were at the Dream Team in which it was Team Indiana vs. a USA All-Star team held at Brownsburg. That was a REALLY cool event and still one of my favorite days of wrestling ever.

 

Indiana has a sparkling record in the main event at Pittsburgh.

We want to welcome the Lakeland Laker Ben Miller to the lineup. He will be wrestling 138lbs for us. We know he will be #NECCTough!

Ben is a stud, had the pleasure of talking with him after he beat Thrine in a wild match at frosh/sophmore state semi finals a couple years ago.. Great competitor and all class regardless of the outcome.. Congrats young man, have fun and give em hell!
