blueandgold Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Curious to know the toughest conference this year and in recent years. I would be inclined to say the DAC, MIC, or SIAC most years, but with some realignments, I’m wondering what conference features the stiffest competition and likely produces the most state qualifiers.

TysonNisley Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 The DAC is gonna be fun this year. Crown Point is the obvious best team in the DAC, but Chesterton always has a solid squad, and is led by state placers Hayden Demarco and Aidan Torres. Merriville also has a strong team, with a pair of Maldonado wrestlers in Matthew and David, along with returning qualifier Lucas Clement. Portage also has a solid team, and is led by E'Shawn Tolbert, with semi-state qualifiers Owen Bunton and Manolo Hood looking to break through to the state tournament. Outside of these four teams, I think Lake Central could challenge for a top 4 spot in the conference, with Mason Jones and Guillermo Rivera leading the pack. LaPorte also is home to the state's only current multiple time state champ with Ashton Jackson, along with Josh England, who I think will have a breakthrough year this year and join Ashton to have multiple black and orange wrestlers down at Gainbridge this year. Also in the DAC is Valparaiso and Michigan City, who currently have no state ranked wrestlers, but have produced talented wrestlers in the past. I think the biggest competitor for the toughest conference in Indiana is the HCC, with plenty of tough schools in this conference, including Brownsburg, who are the clear favorite to be the best in the conference and the toughest challenge for Crown Point as the best wrestling team in Indiana. Avon is another team with plenty of state quality wrestlers, such as the Rioux brothers, Seth Syra, and multiple time placer Cheaney Schoeff, and is Brownsburg's biggest challenge in the conference. Every team in this conference sends at least one ranked wrestler to compete for an HCC title, with Fishers having state qualifier Griffin Ingalls, Zionsville with Tommy Frazier and Luke Penola, Noblesville with Austin Hastings, Hamilton Southeastern with Zach Lang and Dom Burgett, Franklin Central with Andrew Just, and Westfield with Ike O'Neill and Jason Rooney. I thought that I would do you all a favor and list the ranked wrestlers in each weight class across both conference, to make the best conference debate a little easier. Of course, I also know that I might be missing a really tough conference, so feel free to throw other potential conferences in the mix.

Just a funny thing that I noticed. Gonna end this with some stats, and then I gotta go do homework that I've been procrastinating on by writing this.

QuinnHarris Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 For those who think the HCC is weak you’re wrong. It has been a tough conference since 2011 and earlier. My junior year I finished 4th at 126. 1st Jack Chastain HSE State Placer 2nd Preston Mantel Zionsville State Placer 3rd AJ Belden Westfield State Placer 4th Quinn Harris Avon State Qualifier These big schools all have their own studs and it makes for a great day of wrestling every year!
